Through The Dark (Niall Horan Fan Fiction)

Chapter 10: Destiny And Work.

*Edited*

*Ashley's P.O.V*

*The next morning*

I woke up to my phone ringing. I picked up the phone without moving from my place at the bed and answered.

"Hello?"

"Ashley! Where are you?"

"Rosie? What's wrong?"

"OMG! You're still sleeping. For God's sake, Ashley! It's 9:45! You are late and Mr. Johnny keeps asking about you! I covered you up -don't worry- but just be here as quick as you can."

"Holy shit! I'm gonna get ready, now! Thank you so much, Rosie!"

"Nope, baby! Just come, quickly and when you come don't enter from the front door, enter from the back door and act as you just got out of the toilet! OK?"

"OK! Thanks, again! Bye!" I hang up and jump out of bed and to the bathroom. Since I don't have enough time, I just wash my body without getting my hair wet, I'll just wash it when I come back. Right now, I need to get ready, quickly. I walk out of the bathroom in my bra and panties and hurry to my wardrobe. I pick out a blue chiffon shirt and a pink slim jeans and put them on in the quickest possible way. I search for my galaxy VANS and find it. I wear it and put my hair in a high ponytail. I grab my makeup bag and put mascara and eyeliner, only as usual. I wear my studded wrap watch, my smiley diamond ring, which was my parents' birthday gift to me, my infinity heart pendant and my white messenger bag. I grab my phone and throw it in the bag along with my wallet and keys. When I reached the bus stop, the bus had had just started moving. I literally ran behind the bus until the driver saw me and stopped. I basically just kept breathing since I ran now more than I've ever ran from the minute I landed in London. When I reached my stop, I thanked the bus driver, payed and rushed to the back door. I called Rosie and asked her to come out. Few minutes later, she was here.

"Hey, sleepy head!"

I looked at her and crooked a smile then started saying, "Hello! So can you tell me why have you told me to get from the back?"

"Because when you didn't come and Mr. Johnny kept asking about you, I told him that you are in the toilet, 'cause of feminine things. So the toilet is just beside the back door. You have to get in the toilet and few seconds later, get out as if you were inside from the beginning. Shawn and I told him about the whole thing since 9:15, so you have been 'in the toilet' for 45 minutes, now. OK?" I nodded and she left. I did as I was told and here I am face to face with Mr. Johnny. I am good at acting. So let's test my skills.

"Hey, Ashley! Are you okay?"

I say in a tired voice as if I was throwing up, "Yes, sir! I'm totally fine."

"Ashley, you don't look fine. Listen, if you need to rest, you can take the rest of the day off."

"No, no! Thank you, though. I really appreciate your worry, sir. But I'm not that bad to take the rest of the day off. I can be the cashier, at least." I wear my work outfit and my name tag.

"As you'd like, Ashley." He turned to go to his office. I almost jumped and squealed when I saw him enter, but when he turned back to say something, I act as if a car have just hit me. "Oh! And Ashley, tell the whole cast to not go home, until we talk, together."

"Sure, sir." I nod and he gets in and closes the door. I jump up and down then run to the cashier.

"He believed my acting. I'm still good at that!" I high five Rosie and Shawn. "Oh, guys?!" I say, loudly to the whole cast and I make sure all of them are listening then start to say, "Mr. Johnny wants us after work. He wants to talk about something with all of us." They all nod and mutter 'Sure', 'K' or 'Whatever'.
