(3rd Person Point of View)
Marley watched her father swerve the car out of the way of the incoming truck, the truck sped past them down the road. She held her chest and tried to calm down as her dad looked back at her. Marley finally caught her breath and looked at her dad.
"That was so close, are you okay?" said Marley with a relieved expression
"I'm fine that was a close call, people are so reckless nowadays. Let's get home quickly your mother is waiting for us" said Her dad as he faced back forward
He pulled off from the side of the road and drove down the road again, Marley watched the buildings pass still calming down. She sat back and shut her eyes, deciding to take a quick nap. A short while passed before her dad arrived at her house, he parked the car and shut it off.
"Marley honey wake up we're home," said Her dad reaching back and shaking her leg
Marley slowly woke up and looked around seeing she was home. She got out of the car and shut the door before walking up the driveway. Marley made it to the front door with her dad following, before she could open the door it flew open and her mom pulled her into a hug.
"Oh sweetheart I'm so glad you're okay. I was so worried come on I cooked your favorites" said Her mom pulling Marley inside gently
Marley let her mom pull her along as her dad shut the door behind them and locked it. Once they made it to the kitchen she saw dishes of food on the table, Marley went and washed her hands before sitting down at the table. The smell of the food made her stomach growl, this made her blush embarrassed.
Both her parents chuckled and shook their heads In amusement, Marley began to put food on her plate. She prayed over her food quickly but as soon as she went to eat, the doorbell rang making her groan and get up. Marley walked to the front door and opened it and was surprised, it was her boss standing there holding her purse.
"Um, Mr. Blackwell what are you doing here?" said Marley with a confused look
"I believe this belongs to you, you left it behind after you collapsed," said Jonathan handing over her bag
Marley reached out and grabbed it her hand brushing against his own, she felt a small shiver go down her spine at the slight contact. Once she moved back with a smile Marley looked up at him. She opened her mouth to speak but was interrupted by her mother.
"Sweetie who's at the door?" said her mom walking up behind her and looking at Jonathan
"Mom this is my boss Jonathan Blackwell and Mr. Blackwell this is my mother," said Marley looking at both of them
"Nice to meet you Miss I was just returning your daughter's belongings," said Jonathan with a slight smile
"That was sweet of you and call me Martha honey, Henry come here come meet your daughter's boss," said Martha with a smile yelling for her husband
Marley looked down embarrassed and shook her head at her parents. Henry came jogging at the call of his wife and smiling, he looked at Jonathan with a smile and offered a handshake.
"Henry this is Marley's boss Jonathan he stopped by dropping off Marley's stuff. Isn't that sweet" said Martha with a smile and her husband nodded his head
"Nice to meet you Son thank you for helping my little girl I appreciate it," said Henry with his hand out as Jonathan shook it firmly
"It's no problem, Mr. Brown," said Jonathan looking at him and then at Marley
"Just call me Henry and you helped my daughter, I could at least show some appreciation," said Henry looking at Marley and then at Jonathan with a smile on his face
Jonathan just gave a small nod and looked at Marley who was blushing, from embarrassment and looking at the ground. He smirked a bit secretly before glancing at his watch, Jonathan had an important meeting with an old friend.
"Sorry Mrs and Mr. Brown I got somewhere to bed but it was nice meeting you both. Miss Marley see you at work tomorrow" said Jonathan turning and going to his car and leaving
"That boy was charming and nice, I think he likes you, Marley, the way he was eyeing you says it all," said Martha with a big smile and looking at her daughter
Marley blushed and just walked inside with her head down, both parents laughed at their daughter and followed shortly after.
-Small Timeskip-
After finishing dinner Marley took a nap in her bedroom, while her parents received a call from the hospital. Both parents received the distressing news that their daughter was experiencing, adverse reactions to medication. The doctors told them they might want to get over to the hospital.
Martha and Henry agreed and hung up then got dressed and left, they decided to let Marley sleep since she had been through enough. Some time passed before Marley woke up to a text message. The young woman slowly woke up and checked her phone.
A couple of hours had passed since she fell asleep. She let out a huff and sat up seeing a message from Zach.
"Marley check the news as soon as you can It is an emergency," The Message Read making Marley grab her remote
Once she turned on the TV the news played as they spoke about a car wreck and then, a severe thunderstorm that was happening. Marley recognizes the car in the photos it was damaged but not heavily. The reporter said the names of her parents and her heart fell into her stomach.
The young woman grabbed her phone and called her parents and it didn't go through. She jumped out of bed and got dressed quickly, not sparing another minute. Marley ran downstairs to grab her car keys, she forgot her car was left at her job. She sent a quick text to Zach to pick her up and take her to the hospital. Zach quickly responded he was on the way.
Marley prayed and hoped her parents were okay, she felt like breaking down and crying but held it together as she waited for Zach.
