Chapter 1

Harry

"Allyson! Why would you do that?" Harry shouted running after his sister, who was storming through the hallway with a big grin on her face. He was dressed in on of the hated suits and he had a difficulty even with walking. As one of the owners of Styles Inc. he had a special dress code, which was the worst thing about the whole job.

"Harold! You are twenty years old acting like a baby! It's just a date your big sister set up for you" Harry chuckled hearing her words, because Ally was about three times smaller than him. But the smile quickly left his lips as he remembered what they were talking about. She extremely cared for him, but sometimes it could get too far when it comes to Harry's love life.

"Ally, I don't want another girl. You could have bought me another car" Harry pouted like a little kid, causing his sister to smile fondly. They were walking towards Harry's office, although he was just twenty, he already had to run the family business. Every Styles, except Harry and Ally, loved to repeat that the good job is the key to success. Besides, their parents believed that their kids were way too spoiled and it was time to stop it. They were being prepared for this work since the beginning of high school.

"Hazz, her name is Dinah and I promise you will like her. We met at the hairdresser last year, she is really a great person. We quickly became friends and she is also dealing with a breakup. Don't be so fussy!" Ally picked up some files from the desk and carefully started looking through them. In reality it was all they had to do, control the finances and employees.

"I'm not fussy at all! Anyways, could you drop me at my duty place?" Harry rolled his eyes. Some months ago when he went to the party with his friends, they were caught while stealing the warning sign. They got totally wasted and decided that normal party was too boring for them. Of course, he had to pay the charge and got 200 hours of cleaning the parks and streets. His parents weren't exactly happy about that and took Harry's car away. Usually he would ask his friends, but unfortunately Lauren and Niall were both part of his wild behavior.

"Wait a second...is that a new bag?" He eyed the small girl paying the attention to the black bag hanging on her arm. Sometimes Harry felt like indeed they didn't really know the value of money and how to save them.

"But only if you will go out with Dinah and well, every day is payday, swipe my card and I do the nae nae" Ally smirked and slightly waving left Harry speechless. Since his recent breakup with Taylor, who was a singer at bars he wasn't really into dating. Especially not people fond of his money and not personality. He sighed and finally started working on the new project. Suddenly his voice phone ruffled and Harry quickly picked it up.

From Lo💞
My parents just told me they want to find me a husband, what do I do?

To Lo💞
Tell Niall to come meet every candidate and eat dinner with them. They will never come back x

Harry closed his eyes in anger, Lauren's parents were really strict and had pretty odd habits. That's why she was desperately looking for a flat and work. He felt bad for his best friend, because now she will have to deal with one of their crazy ideas one more time.

Zayn

Short boy opened the door of cafeteria just to revile the sight of his best friend sitting behind the counter and slowly sipping coffee. Some customers were sitting next to windows, chattering and eating Jade's famous pies. She was most likely the only person who understood what was going through his mind. They were friends since the beginning of primary school and went through a lot of crazy moments. Zayn could always trust her and she helped him even in the hardest times.

"Hey, Jadey!" He quickly put his bag down and pecked his best friend's cheek. She grinned at him and gestured to sit down. Zayn yawned loudly, but gladly took a place next to her and stole some sips of the delicious caramel latte. He earned himself a playful punch, because Jade's coffee was always untouchable. Even he didn't have proper rights to drink it.

"Morning Zee! Did you draw a new advertising poster?" Zayn took out some of his projects, because they were changing the decorations to more pleasant. Their boss decided, that the cafeteria needed to become more cosy and colorful.

"How is Izzy doing?" He asked curiously, while she was admiring his drawings. Jade looked at him with obvious sadness in her brown eyes, but when she was about to answer, the bell announcing a new customer interrupted them. They both got up, she started to taking the order and he was preparing the ingredients.

"It was getting better, but now the nightmares came back. My heart breaks when I have to leave Isabelle alone, although she stays at grandma's a lot" Jade smiled weakly looking at him above the mug she was cleaning. Because of bad experience from the past Jade's sister started to have very serious anxiety attacks. It was painful to see how from the happy and bubbly girl she turned into tired and sad person.

Zayn's thoughts were interrupted by the next customers. At the end of the day he made so many coffees, cakes and cleaned all the tables, that he could feel his fingers ache. Covering two shifts with just one, fifteen minutes break was sometimes too much for the young lad. If it wasn't enough, one of the clients spitted his drink on Zayn. He said it tasted like sweat and decided that it was Zayn's fault. The only thing positive about this job was the possibility to have some chats with Jade.

When he came back to the empty house, firstly he too off the dirty shirt and tried to wash the coffee stains away. Then he put his tips into the massive jar, which wasn't full even in the half. The hardest part of the day was when his parents were coming back home. They weren't the richest people in the world, but they didn't realize that Zayn was actually working his butt off too. Sadly they thought that his work is the easiest thing ever, although they loved him so much and Zayn could appreciate that.

"Son, why don't you bring us some tea and a cake?" Here we go again. Once you become a waiter, you will always remain one. Zayn smiled weakly at his mom and obediently went straight to the kitchen. While his parents started talking about the upcoming rent payments and their works. Sometimes, despite the all love Zayn felt lonely and ignored.
