He waited.
As she started to leave her father caught her. “What are you doing?” He asked sternly.
She spoke, “I’m going out-” she was cut off as he smacked her.
“Not tonight. I need you to stay here. I’m going out. And your mother is going with me.” He explained.
But before he could get another word out she was going towards the door. Not wanting to fight. She sprinted out before he could catch her.
She hurried and pulled out her phone calling Marshall.Marshall was laying in his bed when he felt his phone vibrate against the bed.
He raised a brow and sat up.He saw her name appear on his home screen as he had saved it immediately after the both of them had started texting. He couldn’t help but shake this uneasy feeling that nagged at his insides.
He quickly picked up the phone.
“Jinx?” He asked.
He half expected her to cancel on him for some reason. They still were at a rocky start but he was glad her tutoring was beginning to benefit him.
She held the phone close hearing her father get in his car. And the engine rev. She was in tears. Her face imprinted with her fathers hand print.
She ran, her talking choppy.
“M-Marshall?” She asked. Tears streaked her face. “C-can you come get me pl-please?” She asked in a panicked voice.
She hoped he’d say yes. Begging he would, as she could hear a car speed In her direction she ran faster.
Till she made it to the nearby elementary school and ran towards the playground to hide.
