The Call That Changes Everything

Chapter 3

I was woke up to the sound of my phone alarm going off.

I want you to rock me, rock me, rock me yeahh!

This was my jam. I had about an hour and a half before I had to be at the record company, so I decided while Laura was still asleep, I'd take a warm shower then make some waffles. I couldn't make pancakes, because every time I did, I'd hear the same thing: " pancakes are just lazy waffles! ". Laura was a special one alright.

After I get out of the shower, I check to see I have a new message.

~ From: Cupcake (aka this is Harry.. Styles.)

Good morning sunshine! We have some business to take care of, so we'll have to hold off until this afternoon. See you soon (:

Wow. He must've taken my number when he had my phone. I send him a quick text back.

~ To: Cupcake (aka this is Harry.. Styles.)

That's fine! I actually have plans as well.. Just let me know when you guys wanna hang!

* message sent*

I throw on a cute business casual outfit, trying to make myself look presentable. My hair is up in a high pony, just how I like it. The smell of the chocolate chip waffles is enough to wake up Laura. She was quite a sight with her bed hair and uneven pajama pant legs hanging down.

" Morning princess, " I tease.

" Morning! I had a dream about Niall last night.. " she trails off, leaving a grin on her face.

I glance at the clock and realize I had five minutes to leave.. but decided it'd be best if I didn't risk being late.

" As much as I'd looove to hear about it, I gotta run. I'll text you when I'm done! In the meantime, don't cause any trouble! " I wink, ruffling her already messy hair.

I grab my bag and head out the door.

" Hi! It's nice to meet you, go ahead and head back, Mr. Sykes' office is the first door on the left. Just knock, he knows your here. " says the desk manager with a smile.

Breath, El. Be cool. This is just a regular meeting. 

I brace myself.. *knock knock knock*

" It's open! " I hear inbetween laughter.

I open the door to reveal six people, most have their back to me. Then, I recognize one.. and my jaw all but drops.

-----

" Louis..?! " I say, a bit confused.

" El! Brandon, why didn't you tell me it was El who was coming? " Louis says, motioning for me to come sit.

" Hi.. I'm Elly, " I say trying to keep myself together, extending my hand.

" Hey Elly, I'm Mr. Sykes, but you can call me Brandon. How do you two know each other? "

" We met her last night on the beach! " Niall pipes in.

" I didn't know you sang? " Harry said, amusement glittering in his eyes.

" I didn't know you were with this record company.. " I let out an embarrassing giggle.

I was so confused at the moment. I took a second to refresh myself, then decided to have my talk with Mr. Sy-- er, Brandon.

" So, my mom said you called? " I turn my attention towards Brandon.

" Yes, I saw your videos and thought you had some serious potentional to make it big. I just wanted to talk to you and see if you were interested in getting signed by us. You would start this summer, and we would start writing songs for you to record. I would get the word out and soon enough, you might even star on your own tour. " he smiles at me.
