Crash Into Me:

Joe Longo seemed to finally be getting his life together. The previous year, he was in a huge financial scandal that left him without a job, home car or wife. In fact, the highlight of his year was getting a job as a nanny for counselwoman Mel Burke, although, he would constantly remind her "Im freelance!". Even though he was restrained about his job, he secretly grew very fond of his and Mel's back and forth snappy banter and grew to love Mel's niece and nephew, Lennox and Ryder. But one day in August, all that changed. The kids were at school and Mel was at an important meeting...or so Joe thought. He was just getting home from the grocery store when his cell phone rang. "Hello?" he answered warily. 'May I speak to Joe Longo'? the voice on the other end of the line asked. "This is he," Joe said, growing impatient. 'I apologize for the inconvinance, but this is Toledo county medical center. I am calling because you are listed as the emergency contact for Mel Burke' the woman kept talking but Joe stopped listening. Mel? What the hell happened?! "I'll be right there!" He yelled into the phone before hanging up. He frantically dialed Mel's assistant, Stephanie. 'Joe?' Stephanie greeted, confused. "Stephanie, just, just listen. Mel, she-she's been hurt. Bad. I need you to get the kids and meet me at the hospital." Joe explained before hanging up. He rushed to the hospital, trying to keep it together. when he got there, he ran to the receptionist. "I'm Joe Longo, i am the emergency contact for Mel Burke" he stated, nervous. "She's in room 343" the receptionist said lazily. Joe barely mumbled a 'thanks' before he rushed off to Mel's room. His stomach churned at the sight of Mel- funny, smart, confident, gorgeous Mel, HIS Mel- looking so broken, hooked up to all those sinister machines as they continued their rhythmic beeping. He almost lost it. He rushed to Mel's side, sitting in the uncomfortable chair, taking her dainty, cold hands in his as he prayed that she would be ok. And then he broke down. he sat there crying until he heard Stephanie burst in with the kids, who were both crying. "AUNT MEL!" Lennox screamed through her tears hysterically lunging herself at her aunt. Joe caught her before she reached Mel and just held her, his own tears returning. God, he loved Mel so much, he couldn't lose her now. He just couldn't. Ryder joined the embrace, also openly crying. The three staying like that until they heard Stephanie exclaim "guys, shes waking up!"
