"Niall! You actually showed up!" Zayn yells, hugging me. I stand there awkwardly as he keeps hugging tighter and tighter. "Well, I needed my son back." I say as Zayn let's go. "I know." He says. He winks, then hands me my apron. "Get to work creep." He says, chuckling. I laugh a bit. "Yeah, I'm the creep." I mumble.

"Niall, your back? Zayn told everyone you quit."

I turn around and look at my boss, Winter. "Oh yeah, I'm back. If that's fine." I say. "Yeah, yeah, that's fine. I just need to talk to you in the back for a second." She says. I nod my head, okay.

I follow her to the back, where her office is. "Niall, sit." She says. Winter is beautiful. She has this cute smile and blond hair and a perfect shape. She's just about perfect. The only problem is, she's my boss. "Niall.. You know the rules of having a job correct? Not only are we concerned about your background, but your families as well." She starts.

"A couple days ago, an anonymous person told me some very important things that might cost you this job." She says. Very important things? What 'very important things'? "What things?" I ask. "You know what I'm talking about Niall. Your not an idiot." She says. "I don't-" then it hits me. "Harry?" I ask. "Yes." She says. Who would tell my boss about that? That's none of her- "it was Zayn wasn't it?" I ask. "It's anonymous for a reason Niall." She remarks.

"So what does this mean?"I ask. "Now, I'm admitted to fire you right now. But, I'm not." She says. "Thank you so much Winter." I say. "Your welcome Niall. I just don't want you losing your career because of something you find interest in doing." She says. "Excuse me?" I ask. "You do this a lot right?" She ask. "What? No. It was only once." I say. "Oh.. alright. Well, go out there and work. I'll call you in here if I need you again." She says, smiling. "Thank you again." I say. "No problem." She says.

I exit her office and go straight to Zayn. "Zayn, I know it was you." I say. "Me? What did I do?" He asks. "You told Winter everything." I say. "Oh, that? Well yeah. Like, 3 weeks ago." He says. "So why is she telling me this now?" I ask myself. "Maybe because you quit 5 months ago. But I saw Bradlee come in here about 2 days ago. Try asking him." He says. "After work." He adds. I shake my head. "Thanks." I say. "Your welcome."
