15 Days ( a.f.i / Weekly Chris)

Chapter 1

- Skylar's POV-

Ever since my parents had passed away 3 years ago it wasn't the same as it was with my brother Colton. It feels like I've been cut off of any contact with him. He now lives with his girlfriend in Orange County, Ca. I sometimes just wish he at least maybe called me once or twice a week to make sure I was doing alright. Well I'm actually doing fine with my work here in Chicago, my hometown. But it doesn't feel the same without him by my side everyday.

The sound of my ringtone had kept ringing and ringing. Sooner or later I had gotten annoyed by it and decided to answer the call. "Hello?" I asked. "Skylar? Hello I'm Susie from Barlins Co. , I've been told by your boss to tell you to come to the office immediately." One of the agents of my Boss called called me. "U-Um may I ask, why does he need me today it's a Saturday?" That was a risky question to ask, usually I would never question someone with higher power than me, I just follow their orders and that's it. "Well it's one of your stories that was an eye catcher to him and now wants to make a deal with you, if you don't want him to change his mind I suggest you come to the office right now." She said in a serous tone. "Yes! I'll be there in 15!" Panicking I quickly changed and left to the company.

| The office |

I hurried myself into building and asked Shirley the receptionist if the boss is still free. "Is Mr.Grayson still awaiting for me up in his office?" She nodded, "Yes I'll call him that your coming up to his floor, go ahead to the elevator." I bowed, "Thank you!" I ran to the elevator and headed up to the top floor of the building.

The elevator had rang and opened slowly. My heart beating rapidly of nervousness and anxiety. I tried to calm myself down and as I stepped out all I heard was the clitter clatter of my heels against the marbled floor. Following the corridor down to the white door with a golden knob. My hand that was reaching to the knob had started to shake. 'why am I so nervous?' Asking myself wasn't going to get me nowhere. I took a deep breathe and opened the door. There was my boss seated on his black leather coated sofa. "There you are Skylar! I've been waiting the longest to talk to you about your story." He smiled.

"Well what are you waiting for? take a seat." He pointed towards the single seat in the front of his desk. I sat down, then he asked me a question. "Ms. Kingston there's a huge once in a lifetime opportunity that I'm going to announce to you right now." I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion, "What kind of opportunity?" He lightly smiled, "Don't worry it's nothing bad, it's just that one of the Directors of Hollywood had taken a liking towards your story that doesn't have a title yet I'm afraid." I laughed nervously, "That'll be taken care I promise." He stood up and had put a small paper on his desk. "Now this is a plane ticket which will expire at 11:00 am." He looked at his watch, "Right now it is 9:46 am, you can choose to take this ticket and fly to Hollywood to make the big bucks or stay here and continue with writing stories that may not be given the chance to be a movie just like the one that the director loves." He explained towards me. I smirked and put my hand on the plane ticket, "I think I'll be taking this ticket towards Hollywood Mr.Grayson." He smiled mischievously, "Alright Lady Skylar, I wish you the best of luck and remember to promote us in interviews." I nodded, "Of course why wouldn't I?" Then we both shook hands and I left his office. "Oh shit...I think I just quitted my job." Fuck! "It was a good decision, it was for the best." I told myself and headed to the elevator to the main floor, then headed home.

| Home 10:08 am|

I've packed my necessities and headed towards my car. What's that smell? Smoke. I quickly turned around and saw my home had lit on fire! My treasured pictures of my mom and dad destroyed! My personal belongings as well! Tears welded up in my eyes and started to slide down my cheeks. "Why?!!!" I shouted in agony. "Why does this have to happen to me, what did I do to deserve this?!" I shouted on the top of my lungs. Mostly everything that I've owned is now pure ashes.

Out of nowhere I hand laid on my shoulder, "Miss I assure you everything is going to be alright." I took my hand off my face and looked behind me. A blonde hair with eyes brighter than my future had smiled and assured that 'everything' was going to be okay. I threw his hand away from my shoulder and shouted, "How is everything going to be like okay!? Everything that I fucking owned is now burnt into ashes!" His eyes widened at my words. "Can you quiet down that tone of yours Miss?" Another guy had came out of nowhere with 3 other men. "Why are you all here?" "It's a pretty easy to tell, you saw that fire correct? Yeah you were suppose to die in there." The man with curly locks told me. "W-What!? This is all non-sense! I have a plane to ca- Not so fast, your suppose to be dead Skylar." The blonde told me. Oh no. "You're all going to kill me aren't you psychos!!" I ran to my car and tried to start the engine, but..it wouldn't want to start. All of the men standing outside my car were all laughing at me except for one. "Skylar do you really think you can escape?" I locked my opened car door and started ganged up to the curly haired guy. I started to hit him with my fists onto his chest.

"What do you think you're doing you pathetic human?" He threw me onto the floor, but the one that didn't laugh tried to help me up. "Harry..I think we shouldn't be mean to a lady." "Louis back off will you? I can do what I want whenever I desire." He laughed. "But she's yo- Shut up you imbecile." The blacked haired one tugged Louis away from me. "I'll do anything please just don't kill me!" I pleaded and pleaded towards Harry. "Please just shut up." He came closer to me and wiped my tears away. "Look I won't kill you." I put his hand on the top of my head. "H-Harry did you just!" The blonde shouted in astonishment. "Niall I did what I had to do, now Skylar you have a plane to catch am I correct?" I nodded, "Yes." He weakly smiled, "Go catch it before it's to late." "Of course!" I grabbed my luggage and headed away from my burnt home.

"Niall and Louis I need you to fix this house immediately, Zayn, Liam, and I will be headed to Hollywood. Meet us at the sign before 1 pm." Was all Harry said before he vanished with the others.
