Mia slept on the couch for hours. When she stired awake she came to realise that she was alone. Tears once again formed in her eyes as she curled herself up as small as possible. She pulled the blanket around herself tightly, and that's where she stayed.
A couple of minutes later, Charlotte made her way over to Mia. "Oh baby, im here." She hushed while gently sitting by Mia after she noticed the tears rolling down her cheeks. "I was just making pasta for when you woke up." She whispered while holding onto her tighter. Mia stayed curled up in a ball as Charlotte spoke to her. "I wanted to have your favourite comfort food ready for you." She told her before pulling Mia onto her lap.
"I thought you left, and it was all a dream." She mumbled nervously. "Oh baby girl, you exhausted yourself and slept for hours, i just assumed you would be hungry. I only moved about half an hour ago." She whispered as Mia slowly stretched her legs out slightly.

Once Mia had finally settled down and the couple had finished eating, Charlotte took them both upstairs. "Right baby, you are going to nap. You are exhausted." Charlotte whispered as Mia shook her head quickly. "No, im no -" Just as Mia went to argue back, her phone started to vibrate in her pocket. She looked at the caller ID before answering it and leaving the room. Charlotte knew that Mia would talk to her after the call, but right now, her girlfriend needed space.
Charlotte could hear Mia shouting and wanted nothing more than to hold her, but she didn't want to interrupt the call. It didn't take long for Mia to return to the bedroom. "Charlotte," she whispered while tears rolled down her cheeks. "Mia, do you want a hug?" Charlotte asked softly, but Mia shook her head quickly. "Go away, please. Charlotte, please." Mia begged as Charlotte left the room. She stood outside the door and waited.
As she waited, she could hear her girlfriend slowly breaking down more and more. Charlotte sighed before letting herself back into the bedroom. She went straight over to Mia and just wrapped her arms around her tightly. The redhead stopped in her tracks and let Charlotte hold her as she continued to cry.
"I hate this. Well, not this, but everything else, " Mia rambled on while Charlotte kept hold of her. Mia went to start pacing again, but Charlotte used all her strength and pushed her girlfriend onto the bed. "No, stop it, you aren't pacing now because you get more worked up." Charlotte told her sternly as she sat on her girlfriend. "Char, go away!" Mia raised her voice at her, but Charlotte just cuddled herself into Mia more. "Im staying now, shhh." Charlotte muttered into her ear.
"We all know that Carly is the spy. Well, she is still telling him everything, yet everyone loves her. Marjorie and Reece adore that kid. Im still seen as a monster by every single one of them. All i wanted was my dad. It really was. I promise." Mia sobbed. Charlotte held Mia closer and rocked them both. "I've got you, baby girl. You are safe, okay. You aren't a monster, my sweetheart, shh ive got you beautiful. Do you want me to call anyone for you?" Charlotte hushed as mia sniffled in her arms. "Can you do that thing to me, please?" Mia asked quietly.
Charlotte knew exactly what Mia needed. She moved them both up on the bed, till Charlottes back was touching the headboard. "Come here than you." Charlotte whispered as quickly wiped Mias cheeks before moving to sit sideways on Charlottes' lap. "It's okay." She whispered as Mia rested her head on Charlottes shoulder.
Recently, the couple found out how much Mia needed to be held. All she wanted was to feel safe and loved. And for Mia, it ment being held in a way that she never got to experience as a child. As they sat on the bed together, Charlotte wrapped one arm around Mia and gently ran her finger up and down the bridge of her nose with the other.
"I've got you." She whispered as Mia nodded slightly. "Do you want me to call Auts for you?" She asked quietly, but she shook her head. "She won't want to deal with this, and i can't be bothered to act like it's all fine." Mia blubbered. "How about I call Reece?" Charlotte asked softly, but Mia shook her head. "He won't want to hear about it. Please, i just want you." Mia told her quietly before breaking down again. "Okay, okay, baby. Im here, shhh, it's okay." She hushed while moving slightly to get under the covers. "I can feel you're shaking." Charlotte whispered before moving to lay down. "Hold on, I've got you." Charlotte spoke calmly while moving. "There we go." Charlotte whispered as she finally reached the position she was aiming for.
"I just dont think I can face them, and im scared you will get hurt from it all." Mia whispered. Just at that moment, there was a loud knock at the door. Mia grabbed hold of Charlotte tightly. "Hey, shhh, it's just the door. Shh, i will go okay and be back soon." Charlotte whispered as she got up.

Minutes later an Charlotte entered the room closely, followed by Marjorie and reece. "Hey dickhead." Reece teased as Marjorie slapped his arm. "clearly not the time." She scolded before slowly sitting on the edge of the bed, placing her hand gently onto Mias knee. "We got the call to do i guess now it's time to have some fun with it." Reece told her, but Mia shook her head. "Shes fucked as it is by him we dont need to make this worse for her surely. Someone really needs to help that girl." Mia whispered as she moved towards Charlotte. "After work on Monday, we will all talk with her, and if you feel up to it, you can join us."
