I drove back to the newspaper office, smiling widely. Someone actually cares about me, finally.
I suddenly realized I was driving without any music on, so I turned on the radio. And luckily, the radio just began playing one of Justin's songs, Mirrors.
Aren't you something, to admire
Cause your shine is somethin' like a mirror, and I can't help but notice
You reflect in this heart of mine
If you ever feel alone and, the glare makes me hard to find
Just know that I'm always parallel on the other side
Cause with your hand in my hand and a pocket full of soul, I can tell you there's no place we couldn't go
Just put your hand on the glass, I'll be tryna pull you through, you just gotta be strong
Cause I don't wanna lose you now, I'm lookin' right at the other half of me!
The vacancy that sat in my heart is space that now you hold
Show me how to fight for now, and I tell you baby, it was easy comin' back here to you once I figured it out
You were right here all along, it's like you're my mirror
My mirror starin' back at me, I couldn't get any bigger
With anyone else beside of me, and now it's clear as this promise, that we're making
Two reflections, into one
Cause it's like you're my mirror, my mirror starin' back at me, starin' back at me
Aren't you somethin', an original
Cause it doesn't seem merely assembled, and I can't help but stare cause
I see truth somewhere in your eyes, I can't ever change without you
You reflect me, I love that about you, and if I could, I would look at us all the time
Cause with your hand in my hand, and a pocket full of soul
I can tell you there's no place we couldn't go
Just put your hand on the glass, I'll be tryna to pull you through
You just gotta be strong
'Cause I don't wanna lose you now
I'm looking right at the other half of me
The vacancy that sat in my heart
Is a space that now you hold
Show me how to fight for now
And I'll tell you, baby, it was easy
Coming back into you once I figured it out
You were right here all along
It's like you're my mirror
My mirror staring back at me
I couldn't get any bigger
With anyone else beside of me
And now it's clear as this promise
That we're making two reflections into one
'Cause it's like you're my mirror
My mirror staring back at me, staring back at me
Yesterday is history
Tomorrow's a mystery
I can see you looking back at me
Keep your eyes on me
Baby, keep your eyes on me
I don't wanna lose you now
I'm looking right at the other half of me
The vacancy that sat in my heart
Is a space that now you hold
Show me how to fight for now
And I'll tell you, baby, it was easy
Coming back into you once I figured it out
You were right here all along
It's like you're my mirror
My mirror staring back at me
I couldn't get any bigger
With anyone else beside of me
And now it's clear as this promise
That we're making two reflections into one
'Cause it's like you're my mirror
My mirror staring back at me, staring back at me
After the song went off, I turned off the radio. "He has such a beautiful voice.." I sighed, and kept on driving. I soon spotted the office building, and I drove back into the parking lot.

I went inside and sat back down at my desk, to continue my work. "Kacey! Office, now!" My boss shouted at me.
"I'm coming..!" I groaned and walked to his office. "What is it now?"
"You do realize you went over your lunch break. Your lunch break is from twelve to twelve twenty-five, not 'whenever you feel like coming back to work!'." He yelled at me.
"Sorry... I had met a really nice guy and he took me out to lunch. I promise I won't be late again!"
"Well, since you apologized, I'll let you go this time. But don't let it happen again!"
"Yes, sir." I let out a sigh of relief and walked back to my desk

I finally got home after a long day at work. I just wanted to sit down, and relax. I slumped down on the couch and turned on the TV. But that was when I remembered about Justin. He did say I could call him if I needed someone to talk to. I got my phone out of my bag and went into my contacts to search for his name.
I found it and tapped the screen, and dialed his number. "Hey." I heard him say when he picked up.
"Um, h-hi." I stammered, nervously.
"How was work today?"
"Eh, it was okay. Apparently I need a new job, I just hate it."
"Oh, I understand. But maybe I could do something about that."
"Really?"
"Yeah. What job do you want?"
"Well, I want to work at the New York Times newspaper."
"Oh. That seems easy."
"Mhm. How did your day go?"
"It was okay. I just went out for a bit to run some errands, that's about it."
"Oh." I sighed.
"Is something wrong, Kacey?"
"Umm, can you come over and we could, talk about it?"
"Yeah, sure." I hung up and threw my phone down onto the couch.
