"cut from the same cloth" - their story.

Chapter 8 - Reality

Marjorie's Perspective 

"Charlotte what's wrong?" I said, I've never seen Charlotte so upset before.

"He's threatening me.. Mia isn't around for the next 24 hours and i'm so scared. He can get violent once he's drunk"

Reece looked shocked, he had never really heard about Charlotte's ex before. He still didn't care, he held onto me and was trying to think of a good response. 

"CHARLOTTE WHERE ARE YOU?! COME BACK HERE NOW!!" a male voice yelled. He spotted charlotte and started storming towards her, about to grab her by the scruff of her neck, trying to drag her back. 

I looked up as Charlotte shrieked, the fear spread across her eyes and she was so scared. Reece all of a sudden had Autumn's glare in his eyes. 

"Charlotte come here" I said, she flew into my arms, I could feel her trembiling in fear. Jesus she was really scared. 

Reece started walking forwards, wow he was being protective. then it hit me, he was about to hit her ex-husband. Before I could say anything, the man flew towards the fence after he had tried to swing at Reece. 

"Reece!!" I yelled, he had just hit a guy. 

Charlotte started crying, balling her eyes out. She was really scared I could feel it. She was shaking in fear. 

"You want Mia?" I asked, maybe thats the right person that she needs at this moment. 

she said somesort of muffled response, she was sniffiling and crying. I understood it as a yes and Reece walked away and went to go call up Mia and the police to see if she can come back any sooner. I took Charlotte up to my bedroom, it was clean with freshly changed sheets. I gave Charlotte a fresh towel and some warm clothing, her clothes looked ruined and disgusting. she walked into the bathroom for a shower and closed the door behind her, the water running shortly after she shut the door. I walked up to Reece who then was just finishing up the phone call to Mia. 

"Mia's on her way, she was livid that her ex came and tried to harm her"  He said. 

I stood up on my tippie toes and kissed him, he held me around the waist and kissed me back. 

"love you Reece" 

"you too"

Charlotte's Perspective - Back 30 Minutes ago

there was a knock at the door, who would be after me? it's late on a friday night, Mia is out of town until tomorrow? they knocked again, who could be so impatient. I walked up and opened the door, I looked up and was shocked. 

"you aren't allowed here! we are divorced remember?!"

"Charlotte.. Baby.. Please i'm sorry" he said, pleading with me to let him in.

"No go away! you can't be here!"

he then kicked the door, breaking it. Glass flew everywhere. As soon as he broke the door, I flew into my bedroom which had another door to get out of, it opened up into the padio. I grabbed my keys and my phone, sprinting as fast as I could to my car. He spotted me running to my car. 

"CHARLOTTE COME BACK HERE!!" he yelled.

he then jumped into his car, following me. I sped off into the distance, Marjorie! that was probably the best place I could go to. I finally arrived at her house. I could hear his car slowly approaching us in the distance, I pounded on the door. Come on marjorie!! Hurryyyy!! She approached the door and opened it. 

"Charlotte are you alright?" 

I was about to speak when there was a yell for my name, he was coming. I shrieked.

"Charlotte what's wrong?" Marjorie said, she seemed more alarmed. 

"H-he's threatening me again, Mia isn't home, Marjorie i'm scared" 

"CHARLOTTE YOU COME BACK HERE RIGHT NOW" a strong angry male voice yelled. He charged up to me and almost grabbed the back of my shirt. 

Reece walked forwards. "I think you need to back off" 

"Charlotte come here" Marjorie said, Reece was blocking my ex away so he couldn't touch me without touching Reece and starting a fight. 

I flew instantly into Marjorie's arms, I was shaking and crying. Finally I was safe with her, he couldn't hurt me. Marjorie led me inside and took me into the spare bedroom, she gave me some fresh clothes of hers to change into allongside a towel so I could shower and decompress. I walked into the bathroom and showered. Marjorie was waiting for me when I walked back into the bedroom, thank goodness for her. I then put my head on her lap as she was stroking my hair. then i drifted off. 

"Charlotte..! Charlotte..!" 

I opened my eyes to see this redhead. It was Mia. I jumped on her, was I happy to see her. 

"I missed you sweetheart" she said, holding me. 

we kissed for a minute.

"CHARLOTTE YOUR NOT GOING TO BELIEVE THIS!" Marjorie said, she walked in and froze to see us kissing. 

"ugh, break it up lovebirds" she said, she was clearly annoyed. 

we broke it up then sat together, I was slightly leaning on her as her arm was around my waist. Marjorie handed me a letter, Reece had dropped this letter off after he swung by to pick up our coffees, and passed through your area to see if there was anything left behind. I opened it, I couldn't believe it. Mia ghasped. 

"Well what is it?!"
