Shower - AMR & CV

Mia had just got home from picking Charlotte up from work. After not saying a word the whole way home, as soon as Mia unlocked the door, Charlotte sighed. "Im going to shower," she uttered to Mia before walking off upstairs.  Mia knew better than to question  at this moment in time. Once she heard the shower turn on, she walked upstairs and sat quietly on their bed as she waited for Charlotte.

After a while, Mia heard the sound of sobbing come from the bathroom. She placed her phone down, jumped up from where she was sat, and walked over to the door, knocking on it gently. "Baby, it's me, Mia I going to come in, okay?" She spoke calmly before making her way into the bathroom, standing just inside the door to give Charlotte space.

"Mia, i can't get clean," Charlotte sobbed as she looked at the red head with tears down her cheeks. "Okay baby, it's okay. Do you want me to help you, or do you want to get out?" Mia asked softly. "Help, please." Charlotte muttered.

Mia quickly removed her clothes before climbing into the shower behind Charlotte. "Baby, im going to turn the water down a bit, okay? You are all pink." She whispered softly. "No! It needs to be hot! I need to be clean." Charlotte snapped at her. Mia ignored Charlottes' tone and gently put her arms around her, reaching back to change the temperature as Charlotte melted against mias embrace. "Okay baby, how about i wash your hair for you?" Mia asked, keeping calm as she felt Charlottes body shaking against her own.

"Mia, i just want to be clean. I dont care." She sobbed as Mia nodded. "Okay, sweetheart, i will get you clean, and then we can get you dressed in my favourite hoodie that you have stolen." Charlotte nodded as she clung to mia. The red head hummed softly as she gently washed Charlottes hair, kissing her forehead every now and again.

"Head back baby to wash the shampoo out." Mia told her softly, but Charlotte just stepped back, letting it all run straight over her face, getting it in her eyes. "Oh baby." Mia whispered as she quickly tipped Charlottes head back so it stopped running down her face. "I know, sweetheart,  i know. We are nearly done. Did you want me to wash your body?" Mia asked softly as Charlotte shrugged at her, completely in a dase.

"Charlotte, it's me, Mia.  Im going to get us both out of the shower." She told her calmly before turning the water off and moving to get Charlottes towel. "Char, it's warm from being on the radiator." Mia told her softly before wrapping it around her shoulders. Charlotte sighed sadly and moved away from Mia quickly. "I will give you some time to get dressed if you want, sweetheart." Mia told her calmly. "Just fuck off Mia!" Charlotte snapped at her. Mia let Charlotte go as the red head stayed in the bathroom, putting the clothes she previously taken off back on.

Once Mia was dressed, she walked out into their bedroom to find Charlotte still sat wrapped in her towel. Mia said nothing and went to her wardrobe. She opened it and pulled out a hoodie for Charlotte before finding her some leggings. Mia placed the items onto the bed next to Char. "Sweetheart, shall we get you dressed and out of your damp towel?" Mia asked as Charlotte just sighed. "Okay, i will help you, sweetie." Mia hushed before gently tying Charlottes wet hair up into a messy bun and kissing the top of her head. She carefully dressed Charlotte before pushing her back onto the bed. "Shh, it's okay. Im here, but I can go." Mia whispered as she covered her with a blanket.

"Go, go on, go. Everyone else leaves me. You may as well do the same. " Charlotte snapped at Mia before standing up and pushing her back. "Char, have a nap. I will be downstairs when you wake up." Mia hushed as she let Charlotte push her. As mia was that much stronger, Charlotte was hardly making Mia move, so to make her feel better, Mia was taking small steps back. "Get gone!" Charlotte shouted at her before walking away and slamming the bedroom door.

Mia sat outside the door and waited for Charlotte. She knew she didn't mean any of what she said, so she waited for Charlotte to calm down.

Mia sat outside the bedroom door, listening to Charlotte sob. It broke her heart, but she knew that if she went in, it wouldn't have helped. She waited until she was calming down before pushing open the door. "Charlotte,  I've come to sit with you." Mia told her softly as she walked over, but before she could get close to the bed, Charlotte practically threw herself at mia. "Okay, sweetheart,  I've got you." Mia whispered calmly as she held Charlotte in her arms. "Im here, and im not going anywhere. It's okay, shhh. I've got you." Mia spoke calmly before moving to sit on the bed.

Charlotte kept her arms wrapped tightly around Mia. "So, do you want to talk?" She asked quietly while tracing patterns on Charlottes arm. "That parent, he flirted with me again and, and... and he he. Mia, he kissed me. I tried to push him back, im sorry, but i didn't mean to let him, I didn't cheat!" She shouted the last part as she got defensive. "Okay sweetheart,  did you tell marj or Aut?" Mia asked, but Charlotte shook her head quickly before going to get up, but Mia kept hold of her.

"Nope, you are having cuddles. Baby, im going to call Auts and explain everything you said to her. Im not having this." She said as she picked up her phone. Charlotte held on tightly to Mia as she listened to hers and Autumns conversation.

It wasn't long till they ended the call. "Auts is on it, baby, you wont see him again." The red head whispered softly. "Im so sorry, I love you." Charlotte whispered as Mia moved them both to  lay on the bed. "Shh, I've got you.  It's okay,  we are okay. No one is mad at you." Charlotte yawned as her eyes fluttered. "You rest, baby girl. I've got you.  It's okay." Mia whispered calmly as she watched Charlotte drift into a deep sleep while snuggled into her chest.
