Ashlee Pov;
It’s Monday morning and I’m getting ready for work..I have had a rough weekend. My car broke down. I don’t understand how, it not exactly a brand new car but I take it in all the time to check on everything..like my dad always taught me. On top of that, it’s that time of the month..and my best friend isn’t talking to me, yes Liam.
I was almost ready when I got a text..
Spencer: you about ready I’m here?
Ashlee: yes be down in a sec.
Spencer was kind enough to give me a ride, he was now working full time at the company, I am so proud of him and even Liam..I wish he would just talk to me.
I head on down, and goto Spencer’s car.
“Hey Gorgeous, ready for a long Monday..”
“Hopefully it better then what the last today days have been lol.
We were on our way to work, we talked.
“How’s Liam?” I asked.
“Still not talking to you, huh?” He asked. “He’s good, he’s moving out today.”
“I don’t understand why he hates me..” I said.
“He doesn’t hate you, just give him time, ok?”
“Whatever.” I said back.
I barley talked the rest of the way to work. We got there, and I walked to my desk. There was a hot new mail guy, let me tell I was starting. He stop and gave me Jackson’s (that the guy that replace Logan) mail, and he’s had the cutest smile.
“Hey cutie, how was your weekend..” He asked me.
“Not the best, but thankfully it’s over.” I smiled and blushed.
“Well you have the cutest smile? How are you single?” He said back to me.
“How do you know I’m single?” I asked him,.
“I have asked around, so I could come an maybe get a date outta ya..” he will at me..
Before I could even answer, there was another man laugh sneaked up beside me..
“Now that’s funny..” Logan said, Laughing.
“What’s so funny?” I said to him.
“Who the hell are you?” He asked Logan.
“Someone that make sure you don’t have a job here, so run along..” Logan said back to him.
He walked away finishing his work, I turned to look at Logan.
“What did you do that for?” I asked him.
“So you asked me back here so I can watch man just terribly flirt with you?” He asked me.
“No, but someone is sounding jealous..” I said to him.
“Well, I’m not ready to see you with someone else. It’s too soon..” he said, With a sad looking look on his face.
“Ok I understand, because I feel the same way.” I replied.
Spencer walked up to Logan, “meeting in 5 minutes, man.” He said tapping his shoulder.
“Man? Since when do you get along with Spencer?” I asked.
“Since this morning..” he said, walking away. “Hey I’ll see you around..”
I smiled at him. It was almost the end of the day, and today was going pretty good.. I was working at my desk when I saw a man who looked like a florist walking towards me with a vase of flowers.
“Are you Ashlee Johnson?” The man said to me, i was surprised, I nodded my head, and he handed to them to. I look at the card, “Something special for a beautiful girl like you.
But there was no name on it, so I had no clue who they were from. I looked around, and that when I saw Logan smiling looking at me, then winked at me.
Before I left for the day, I walked and knocked on Logan’s office door.
“Come in,” he said
I walked into his office, and smiled at him. He was working hard at his desk.
“Is it gonna be a late night?” I asked him.
“Yes kinda, I have a lot to do, I gotta go on a business trip this weekend so I need to get caught up with everything.” He said to me.
“Well I just wanted to stop by and say good night..and… thank you for the flowers.” I said smiling at him.
“..and how do you know they are from me?” He asked smirking.
“Well for the fact it’s written all over your face with that smirk, and the fact you didn’t get jealous after seeing me get the flowers.” I said, smiling at him again.
“I don’t know know what your talking about.” He said laughing at me.
“Ok whatever, I know the ya re from you so thanks.” I said before exiting his office. I was taking a Uber home because Spencer also had to stay late for work, and I didn’t want to wait around.
It was the next day, and I was running late with getting ready for work. Spencer had texted me and I wasn’t even ready yet, I said f*** it, to not doing my hair or make up.
I just hurried up and brushed my hair, and ran out the door. I got in his car,
“I can already tell this is gonna be along day.” I said to him.
“It will be fine.” He said back.
We got to work and saw Courtney waiting at my desk,
“About time, I wanted to talk to you.” She said.
“Im only a couple minutes late..” I said to her.
“Well I wanted to tell you, thank you for introducing me to Justin’s he took me on a date last night and we had fun. I think we are having a second one.” She said to me.
“That’s awesome.” I said to her, happy to hear and wonder if Justin is gonna stay in town.
After talking for a second, I had to get to work. I saw Logan talking to Jackson, and he winked at me, which made me smile.
I just jumped when my phone ran, which made Logan chuckle.
“Hello, Mr. brown’s assistant here, how can I help ya?”
“Hello is this Ashlee Johnson?” The lady asked me.
She proceeded to tell me she’s a nurse at the hospital and that I was on my grandmas emergency list, and to my horror they proceeded to tell me that she was taken to the hospital, the neighbor found her laying on her on porch, unconscious. They could not give me anymore info over the phone.
“Omg, are you serious???” I said, freaking out and crying.
That’s when Logan ran over to me.
“What’s wrong Ash?” He said grabbing me after I hung up the phone because I was falling to ground crying. Everyone started starring at me, but I didn’t even notice.
“My grandma she’s in the hospital something wrong..” I said to him crying.
“Cmon, I’ll take you to the hospital!!” He said to me.
“I’m coming too,” Spencer had said following us.
“Jackson can you let my dad know.” I said to him.
He nodded. We hurried up to Logan’s car, I was a mess. We were on our way, and can I say Logan was speeding.
We arrived at the hospital, and I could do was run as fast as I could. I found out where she was, we were heading to the floor she was on. I found out who her doctor was. I talked to the doctor while they say in the seats. I walked over to him crying, they asked me what happen.
“She had a mid heart attack, if she wasn’t found where she was and brought in when she did, it could of been worse.” I said crying. Spencer got up and hugged me.
“They said it been caused probably with too much stress!!” I added
But my grandma wasn’t kind of person to stress out about things, I haven’t visit her much so I had no idea what was going on. I looked at my phone and realize the date, yesterday was the anniversary of my parents death. Every year, my grandma and I spend the day together. If I had to work I would go over afterwards, I was planning on getting the day off when I started this job. My poor grandmother was alone yesterday. I was her only family left., everyone else had passed away. And she had only one son. I felt worse, blaming my self for this. I was too busy with my life to not be there for my grandma. I didn’t say anything to them, I just cried so hard. Spencer got a phone call and walked away, Logan comfort me. We have been there for a couple hours, still haven’t seen my grandma. Next thing I know I hear a familiar voice.
“Hey.”
I looked up and saw Liam standing there, I got up out of Logan’s arm. And ran over to him.
“What are you doing here??” I asked
“My dad told me what happen, and I called Spencer to find out where you were.” He said hugging me to so tight.
“Thank you, Liam!” I said crying to him. When we walked back to the seats. Liam and Logan give a dirty look to each other. They didn’t say anything thankfully.
A nurse came over and got me and asked if I wanted to see my grandmother. I nodded l, told the guys I would be back. I took a deep breath before walking into the room, and I saw her laying here and I started to cry. She looked over at me,
“Hi honey, I’m sorry I gave you a frighten, I am ok I promise” she said to me.
“What happen? Have you been stressed? I am worried about you.” I asked.
“Yesterday was the anniversary of your parents death..I didn’t wanna bug you about it because I was hoping you didn’t remember. I hate seeing like this very year. I would rather see you happy then upset, Ashlee. I just spent the day looking at pictures, which made me realize something, when I finally go, you’re not gonna have family. You don’t speak to your mom side, and I am all You have left. Instead of crying because of missing your dad and mom. I cried all day for you, when I go, I’m scared what’s gonna happen to you. When you were home when you first moved here you weren’t the same Ashlee, I don’t want that happen to you again and maybe every worse. I’m sorry.” She said me.
“You should of called, I’m sorry grandma too.” I said.
We talked and hug each other for as long as I could.
