Don't Forget Where You Belong

Chapter One

"Hi, I'm Madison Morris. I'm here for the job interview ?" The Receptionist looked up at me, handed me a clipboard & went back to typing on her computer. I took the clipboard off of the countertop & went to a seat to fill out the application.

"Nice dip dye ! I like the pink !" I looked up to see the receptionist was smiling at me. "Thank you !" I replied. Wow ! nice people here too , I really hope i get this job.

The questions were simple, easy for a first job thing. By the time I had completed the form , I was greeted by a woman , who looked like she worked here.

"Madison ?" I jumped up from my seat. She shook my hand, "Hi ! I'm Lorie Metcalf. I'm the owner of 'Mix 97.7, I understand you want a weekend job ?" "Yes, please!" I replied, handing over the clipboard. As she lead me to her office , I couldnt help myself but to admire her Hot Pink walls. I had never seen a woman over 30 have such a thing.

"So, your an early graduate & your now taking early Collage classes ? Impressive !" i nodded , crossing my fingers that i would get this job. Babysitting want working like it used to. "Well thats great ! You are mojoring in Music & Drama ! We'd love to have you here ! You'll be working Friday-Saturday, 8:00am to 8:00pm." She said it , but i couldnt believe it !

"Thank you so much ! I exclaimed. Lorie stood up and put her hand on my shoulder. "No problem hun! Your application is awesome ! You have a good evening , alright ?" "Yes ma'am , you too !" I replied.

I walked out of the building, got into my car , blared the radio , & drove off to celebrate with my best friend Ashlyn.

I grabbed my phone which was surfaced at the top of my purse , & hit the dial pad icon. I typed in the number 69 & listened for an answer. 69 was alway mine & Ashlyn's speed dial number ever since we were kids.

"Hello ?" "Hey Ashlyn !" I screamed. "Why you so hype nigga ?" Ashlyn asked. " I GOT THE JOB NIGGA !" I yelled into the phone. "THATS GREAT MADDIE ! Let's celebrate ! Hurry home !" She said. "See you in a few !" I replied. "K.k". She hung up while I squealed in excitement. I was so HAPPY !

I had calmed myself down to hear something that I wasn't expecting on the radio.

"And now , we have some new music from the hottest British boy band around , ONE DIRECTION !" The man on the other side of the radio said. He then played the song 'Summer Love'. That's when the excitement flushed out of my body.

I listened carefully to the song from their new album, I studied Niall's voice & how much it had changed since I had last spoken to him 3 years ago.

I pulled into the apartment parking lot & parked myself in the first spot. I just sat in the car & listened to the music. I felt the tears filling my eyes & by the end of the song , they were trickling down my cheeks.

I couldn't help but think about the moment when I last kissed him , I remembered his exact words. He promised he wouldn't forget me.... He promised. Now here I am , three years later listening to him , wondering if he even remembers my name. I bet he doesn't even know I moved.

The tears kept falling. I had been crying a lot more often lately.

Those memories kept flooding back into my head, making me remember, making me cry myself to sleep most nights.

I looked up through the sunroof of the car. I could only make out a few words. the few words that had been on my mind lately. "But, you Promised.."
