(Marley's POV)
I got in my car and drove off down the street in an instant, I didn't even bother to tell anyone or clock out. My car swerved between cars and almost crashed a few times, my thought was only focused on getting to the hospital. My mind raced with bad thoughts of what could be wrong, I shook my head and tried to think positively to ease them away.
After a few moments I made it to the hospital, then I parked up front easily and slid out shutting the car door. I ran inside and up to the front desk making the nurse look up.
"Hi excuse me I'm here to see Lila brown, I'm her sister," I said telling her my little sister's name as she began typing something in on the computer
"Okay Just sign your name and go to room 310," said the nurse with a smile handing me a paper and pen
I quickly wrote my name down and handed the paper and pen back. I walked off immediately after and took the stairs up. Once I reached the third floor I looked for her room until I found it. I stepped inside and closed the door behind me, I saw my parents standing by her side as she lay unconscious with a mask on her face.
I walked over, stood by her hospital bed, and looked down at her sadly, a few tears escaped my eyes as I wiped them away.
I remained silent until I looked over at my parents and they looked up, and I slowly spoke.
"What happened?" I said lowly and sadly trying to remain strong as my dad spoke up first
"She went into cardiac arrest from her medication from a reaction, but the doctors were able to stabilize her," said my dad sadly looking at me with bags under his eyes and red from crying
"Good thing is she's okay now the doctor said she'll be fine," said my mom rubbing Lila's arm gently
"I'm glad she's fine I was really worried and came as soon as you called," I said lowly with a sad look moving some of my hair back
"We're sorry sweetheart we know you have to work and everything," said My mom looking over at me with a sad smile
"It's fine Mom this is way more important" I replied waving her off and focusing on my family
She nodded In response and went back to looking at my sister. I suddenly remembered my promotion and decided to tell them, I thought it could ease some of the tension.
"Mom and Dad I got a promotion today," I said smiling at them and looking at their faces light up with happiness
"That's great news, we knew you could do it," said My dad smiling at me proudly as well as my mom
I felt pride at making them happy and my chest swelled with joy, I watched as my dad got a phone call. I moved some of Lila's hair off her face with a small smile, I listened as my dad became upset as he spoke on the phone, before hanging up.
"Dad, what's wrong?" I said looking over at him worried and watching as he rubbed his face and looked down
"The bank foreclosed on our house because we weren't able to pay them, now we'll be in the street," said My dad lowly and defeated as my mom and I looked at him In shock and disbelief
"What!? I told them we have the payment next month" said My mom now upset and frowning as I looked at the sadly
"Calm down guys it'll be alright you can stay with me, I have an extra room at my house," I said softly with a reassuring smile making them both look at me
"Oh Thank you so much, Sweetie this means a lot to us," said My mom smiling brightly before she stood up walked around the bed, and hugged me tightly
I hugged her back tightly before we broke the hug and I kissed her cheek. I felt my phone buzz meaning I received a text, I pulled my phone from my pocket and checked it. There was a message from Zach asking where I was, and that Jonathan was a little upset looking for me.
My eyes widened slightly and I put my phone away, I pulled a key from my pocket to my house and gave it to my mom.
"This is a key to my house just make yourselves at home, I'll see you guys later tonight," I said turning and leaving the hospital room and rushing to get back to work
I made it out of the hospital running to my car and getting in and driving off.
-A Few moments later-
I got off the elevator to my floor and immediately Zach walked up to me. I looked at him as he approached with a small sheepish smile, he looked worried and a little irritated.
"Marley, where were you? It's not like you to leave work like that,
Mr. Blackwell came down here and questioned where you were, I had to lie and say you were on break. Also, Why didn't you tell me you got promoted?" said Zach with his arms crossed and waiting for my answer
"Um, I had a family emergency. It was very important. I'm so sorry I didn't have the time Mr. Blackwell promoted me on the spot, I'll talk to him if I see him to clear my mess up" I said feeling a little bad as I looked at Zach and noticed his gaze looking at something behind me
I turned around and immediately was greeted by a suit-covered chest, looking up it was Mr. Blackwell who was gazing down at me intensely. I was frozen In place but mustered up a smile failing slightly as I looked up. His eyes never wavered away from me, it was silent until he spoke up.
