Unconditionally

TW: mentions of attempted SA🖤

A/N: alright cue the hate train, I promise to make up for this. Don't hate me🖤

Janice stepped out of sight before Autumn could see her in the bar. She still blamed them for getting Roger put away and wanted to do whatever possible to get back at them. Once the brunette went back to talking with her friends Janice took a sip of her drink and watched them once again. She wasn't sure how to get to them until her eyes landed on the perfect target. Marjorie.

Janice knew that Marjorie was autumns entire world. And the quickest way to get to the brunette was hurting the thing she loved the most. She just had to find a way in. Janice left the bar that night she took home some random woman she had met. After their encounter she told the woman to leave and that's when it hit her. She spent the rest of the night formulating the perfect plan. Now all she had to do was execute it.

Janice spent the next week attempting to get close to the nursery manager. She went out of her way to help Marjorie in any way she could truthfully Janice found it sickening. She hated being so kind to the woman that put Roger away but she had no other choice.

Initially Marjorie found it strange even Autumn didn't like the sudden change in Janice's behavior. "Please be careful, Janice doesn't make friends. I'm not sure what she's up to but something doesn't feel right." Autumn said worriedly as she and Marjorie drove home from work. "I will my love, I'm not sure why she's being so nice but I'll tread lightly don't worry." Marjorie said grabbing ahold of autumns hand and bringing it to her lips to give a gentle kiss.

Autumn smiled as she drove down the road, "I just worry about you my love, sometimes you're too trusting." Autumn said giving the brunette a side eye. "That may be true but if I wasn't so trusting I would've never became friends with you and we would've never ended up here. And I wouldn't change that for the world." Marjorie said and she leaned her head onto autumns arm. "Neither would I love." Autumn said as she let out a content sigh.

Just being around Marjorie was all Autumn typically needed to calm down, but her anxiety seemed to linger and she couldn't place why. She hadn't told Marjorie about it she didn't want to worry the brunette. Autumn assumed she'd be able to deal with it alone that's how she always handled everything.

As the week passed Janice finally felt ready to continue on with her plan. Autumn had been placed in a room today so Janice seemed it the perfect opportunity to try and invite herself over. The dark haired woman was working in the office with Marjorie, she watched the way the brunette focused on the paperwork in front of her. "Marjorie?" Janice said pulling the brunette from her thoughts. "Hm?" Marjorie replied looking up from her work.

"I've loved being able to start over with you, I was wondering if maybe we could do drinks tonight? Maybe back at your place so I can get to know Autumn better?" Janice asked with a fake sweet smile on her face. At first the brunette wanted to say no but for some reason she truly did think that Janice was trying to be better. "Sure that sounds nice." She simply responded before returning to her work. Janice reached into the lockers behind her looking for reeces phone. If she was going to do this she needed Autumn to be delayed.

As the day came close to an end Janice sent a message to Autumn from her bothers phone asking if she'd like to go out for drinks tonight. When Autumn agreed Janice smirked. She knew the plan was in action. As the two women stood to leave Marjorie's phone went off. "Oh Janice we will have to reschedule Autumn has plans with her brother tonight." Marjorie said apologetically. Before Janice could reply Marjorie let out a sigh, "everything alright?" Janice asked the distressed brunette.
