You Are My Best Friend

"Skyler...You don't have a job here anymore".

"What??? Ally, why?"

"Look, the district manager came by yesterday and told us that we needed to downsize. I'm sorry, but it was either me or you..."

"Ally! HOW COULD YOU?", I yelled, and hung up.

I put my phone in my pocket and leaned up against the wall. How could this happen? My job had been fine and now I had just gotten fired. As the reality started to sink in, I felt like going up to my room and crying, which I started to do. But then, I remembered Taylor and Harry in my living room. I trudged back down the stairs, and went into the living room. When I walked in, they both looked up at me, concerned. I guess they had heard the yelling.

"Skyler, is everything okay?", asked Taylor.

"To be honest, no. I mean, I just got fired", as soon as the words left my mouth, I sank down onto the couch. And, to my extreme embarrassment, started crying. Taylor tried to comfort me.

"Well, Skyler, you know, there are always other jobs out there. You'll find another one!", she said, ever the optimist.

"Thanks, Taylor, but I don't think I will. I mean, not everyone is looking to hire a stylist. It took me six months to find this job", I said.

Harry looked up, as if contemplating something, then excused himself, to make a phone call, he said. Taylor and I kept talking while he was gone. About ten minutes later, he walked back in with a huge smile on his face. I almost resented his smile, given this tragedy that had just happened.

Then he said, "Skyler. I may have found you a job".

"What!!! Where?", I exclaimed, totally out of my funk now.

"Erm, well, we, One Direction I mean, are going on tour in two months. One of our stylists is going to get married and she's taking a couple months off. Would you like to be her replacement? I mean, I just talked to the guys and to management. They all said it's fine as long as you have the needed credentials".

I thought I would collapse. "Of course, I'll take the job!!!! Thank you so much Harry! You are a lifesaver!", I yelled. I gave him a huge bear hug, and, remembering that his girlfriend was right there, pulled away. "Thanks", I said again, this time in a normal tone of voice.

"It's nothing", he said, "Any friend of Taylor's is a friend of mine".

He smiled and pulled Taylor to him. They were so cute!

After they left, and I had given Harry copies of my styling license, Gram came down from the sunroom where she had been talking to my Aunt Hester on the phone.

"Skyler, what was all that yelling about?", she asked.

"Oh, Gram, I got fired. But, then, Harry got me a job with his band as a stylist. I'm going on tour with them!"
