Chapter 21-

Jet lag sucks monkey toes. I was so tired, but I had no were to stay, so I went straight to the magazine office. It was one in the afternoon here, which meant back home it was seven in the morning back home. I sleep late, okay? I told the cab to wait, then I entered the lobby and went straight to the elevators. The receptionist almost said something, until I glared at her. At least she is smart enough to know not to mess with me.

I walked straight into Sally's office.

"What do you think you are doing?" she asked menacingly.

"I'm here to tell you that you can't use my name to write crap about people I love. I read the freaking article, That WASN'T what I wrote! I never said or wrote anything close to what that ugly piece of writing said!"

"Hailie, calm down and sit down," she waited for me to comply," What are you talking about? I read what you wrote and then I passed it onto my assistant so she could take it to the publisher."

"Sally, the article in your magazine said terrible things about Harry, I wouldn't write those things and I don't like the fact that it used my name. Someone must have switched it. The boys are really upset about it and so am I," I looked her straight in the eye. She stared me down, but I didn't look away.

She sighed and then pressed a button on her phone," Kiki, will you go fetch Rebekka from lunch and tell her to come to my office. Now," her voice was cold. A chill ran down my spine. She scared me, and I don't scare that easily.

The girl I had come to dislike to the point where the line between hate what getting kinda fuzzy, walked it. Talk about MEGA-BARBIE. The way her hair was fixed to the way her size 00 jeans clung to her body, screamed attention-whore. I just don't like some people, okay? Sue me.

She grimaced when she saw me sitting there. I guess feelings are mutual. She sat down and crossed her legs.

"Yes?" her two high pitched voice made my ears bleed.

"Rebekka, did you switch out Hailie's piece with one you wrote?" Sally asked, not even blinking an eye. Brutal. Someone give me some popcorn, please? I sat back and watched her squirm.

"No? Why would you think I did it?"

"Because it only went through my hands to yours. Don't lie to me. I can tell when people do."

"Okay, so I switched it? I was supposed to be assigned to it, I was supposed to meet Harry and fall in love with him! Then that ugly creature comes in here and steals him right out of my hands! Do you know how that feels?" the poor thing started sobbing. Am I being Punk'd right now or is this chick crazy?

"First, you're a lunatic. Secondly, what you did is illegal, so the magazine will be suing you and lastly, you're fired. Gather up all your stuff and get out," Sally said in a calm voice. She smirked slightly, when Rebekka got up and ran, crying, out of the room.

"I've always hated my niece," she said, shaking her head. Wait, what? Okay, now I get why such a ditsy hair brained bimbo got to work at this magazine.

"Hailie, I'm sorry that she went psycho, she is overly obsessed with that boy band, and it seems that we have a position that just opened up, want a job?"

Sally say what? Did I just get offered a JOB? Not an internship, a freaking JOB!

"Uh, yeah. I, I mean yes, I'd love to work here!" I exclaimed excitedly.

"Okay, you start in a week. That should give you enough time to find a place to stay and get your stuff settled. Now, get out of my office before I call security and never burst through my door like that again," Sally smiled sweetly at me. Why do I feel like I'm about to be eaten? I'm going to go.

"Right, sorry bout that. Thank you so much! Bye," I waved and I got up to leave. I so saw her smile before the door closed behind me. I ran outside and got in the cab. I told him to take me to the cheapest hotel near here. I've got to tell the girls!

Guys! You won't believe the news I have to tell you!!! I'll call you as soon as I get a place to stay. Tell my mom I love her dearly. *wink*

"Hi, can I get a room please?" I asked the guy behind the desk. He nodded and went on the computer.

"How many nights will you be staying?"

"Let's say three? And can I get someone to help with my luggage?"

"Absolutely, here's your room key. How will you be paying?"

"Debit card," I answered and handed over my precious card.

"Okay, thanks for staying!" He smiled really big and motioned for a guy to grab my bags. He was overly cheerful, if you ask me. Creep. I headed to my room and opened the door. He set my bags down and held out his hand. I gave him a one dollar bill. He wasn't exactly friendly. Sorry, dude.

--------A full minute after telling the news------

"Guys? Are you still there? Please don't die on me! Breath, you must live, I NEED YOU!!!" I screamed into the phone. Emma and Vera had me on speaker and they still hadn't replied.

"OMGOMGOMGOMGOMG!!!! You get to live in LONDON!!! And you have a JOB!!!!" Emma finally yelled.

"Hailie! I'm so happy for you! Wanna roomie?" Vera asked cheekily and I could see the stupid smile on her face.

"OMG! Yes, you guys are moving here too! You can go to college here and stay with me!!! GAH!!! This is too much to take in. Go beg your parents NOW!" I replied, jumping up and down. I heard banging on the wall next to me. Oopsies.

"YES, YES, YES!!!" I heard them chant. I heard a crash and I knew they had dropped the phone.

"Oh sorry, Hailie. Gotta go tell my parents! Byeeee*click*," the call ended. I laughed and called my mom. I explain how big of an opportunity it was and she finally agreed, but I think it was mostly because the girls would be here, too. She loved them more than me, but whatevs.

Holy cow. It finally sunk in. I was moving to London, for good, and I was working for my favorite magazine! I'm so lucky. But, there was still the Harry problem. Here come the tears and craving for fattening food.

****Okay, but seriously how awesome am I? I know the chapters are short, but FIVE CHAPTERS IN ONE DAY? I'm the best writer ever!!!(Yeah, right) Anyway, what do you think about Hailie's new job? Isn't Rebekka such a bad word? I know, right? What do YOU, YES YOU the potato on the computer there, think will happen? VOMMENT!!! LOVE YOU!!!! <3 ~Kita x
