Ashlynn's POV.

I woke up the next morning feeling hung over, it was weird because I wasn't. I was just exhausted. I didn't have to be at work today but for only an hour for a meeting with Shannon and Eleanor. I was nervous about seeing Eleanor, especially after seeing the 10 missed calls I had from her when I woke up. Who else bothered me while I was sleeping?

Jayci:4 missed calls. 7 text messages.
Eleanor:10 missed calls. 2 text messaged
Shannon:1 text message
Harry: 6 missed called. 17 text messages.

I decided to only check Jayci's, El's, and Shannon's before I got ready for work! I threw on a pair of skinny jeans with my red converse and my Mayday Parade concert tee. I ran braided my crazy long hair and put some light make up on. I went to get my jewelry out of my bag and couldn't find the my necklace. I wore it every day and of course the day I wanted it the most It wasn't here. I must have left it at Harry's.

I walked to work with everything I needed. I ran into Eleanor on the way there and we finished the walk together. "HEY! I called you last night! I have something for you!" She said to me in excitement.

I laughed at her enthusiasm. "Man El, who spiked your cheerios this morning?" I jokingly asked. "Yeah, sorry! I passed out! Was so exhausted! What do you have for me?" I asked her as she stuck her hand in her bag trying to find whatever it was she had for me.

"This!" she said as she pulled out my necklace and handed it to me. A sense of relief washed over thanking God for this girl! "Harry found it and I told him I would give it to you!" she said to me. His name made me nauseous just hearing it! "Thank you so much! I was freaking out this morning!" I said to her eternally grateful!

"No problem sistahh, that's what friends are for!" She said to me. Friends. I'm glad I had a friend like her. I didn't know her all that well just that she was so kind. That's all I needed to know.

We walked into YLWM head quarters and gathered in Shannon's office!

My phone buzzed, I looked down to see a text message from Harry.

Harry Styles: Eleanor has your necklace. Make sure she doesn't forget to give it to you.
Me: Got it. Thanks.

I put my phone away knowing he was just looking for an excuse to talk to me. Honestly he was the only person I wanted to talk to but I was still just so hurt.

"So ladies, here's how it works. Ashlynn, you give me the thumb drive with the photos and I go to Don's office and we go over them and we pick our favorites and y'all come back in we critique both of you. Pretty painless process." Shannon said to us. I nodded handing her the thumb drive that basically contained my heart. "Alright,we will call you back when we are ready! Shouldn't take but 15 or so minutes!"

"Are you freaking out? Cause I am freaking out!" Eleanor said to me. I looked at her with amusement on my face.

"WHY ARE YOU FREAKING OUT? I'm the one who had to take the damn pictures! You're going to be fine!" I said to her re assuring her that she had nothing to worry about.

"I know I'm scare for you. You just did such a good job, I just hope they see that. Who's Don anyway? Sounds like a big fat bald guy!" She said causing me to laugh out hysterically!

"He's the big boss!" I told her shushing her words!


------20 minutes later-----

Shannon walked back in with a pleasant smile on her face.

"You know why I chose you for this program out of all the other 49 applicants?" I shook my head no wondering and worried where she was going with this. "Because you make me look good. Don loved all the photos he said he couldn't choose a favorite. There are a few lighting things we could work on but other than that they were beautiful! Eleanor you belong in front of the camera, especially Ashlynn's! Good work girls! Can't wait for your next shoot together. Going to call you both the dynamic duo!" she said to me as she walked out of my office leaving me totally speechless.

I looked to Eleanor and we both just started shrieking! " OH MY GOD I TOLD YOU THEY WERE GOING TO LOVE THEM!" she yelled at me as we were jumping up and down! "OHMIGOD I HAVE TO CALL LOU!" she yelled as she walked out. I then grabbed my phone to go and call Harry before I realized that it was over. That the part of my life with him in it was a just a dream and I had to wake up. I text my best friend from home instead!

Me: DON & SHANNON LOVED THE PICTURES. THANK YOU FOR BELIEVING IN ME!
Jayci: BEYOND PROUD OF YOU! I'M TELLING YOU LONDON WAS WAITING FOR YOU! LOVE YOU! XOXOXOX

I looked up from my phone to see Eleanor, "Lets go to lunch and celebrate, it's on me! My friend Sophia and Perrie are going to meet us up there so you can meet them! I promise that they are almost as nice as I am." I stood there for a second trying to think of an excuse not to go but I couldn't. "Sure, let's go!"

I was making more friends. Finally.
