"You're fired Willow"

I looked at my now former boss a Mr. Jason Stone Co founder of  Stone and Walsh Co. a top leading marketing corporation , in disbelief  how could he fire me I put my all in this job and I always do amazing "what do you mean I'm fired?" I was outraged he had no means to fire me I've done nothing wrong.

"It's simple really I decided that you are not the right person for this job I need an assistant that will go the extra mile to make sure that I am doing well not just the company." I couldn't believe this I've been in this job for two years and because of me this company has excelled. I nodded "you're making a mistake letting me go, I hope your new assistant can handle the pressure and high maintenance of this job because you are not an easy man to work for" with that I took my leave.

I quickly packed my desk and walked out with my head held high I did my job beautifully and was fired without any real reason as to why I did nothing wrong.

"Miss Foster pleas wait! Miss Foster!"

I stopped and looked back to see Bryan Walsh running towards me I set my box down and approached him to save him the rest of the trip he just made.

"Mr.Walsh how may I help you sir" I kept my tone leveled and respectful he has done nothing to me for me to be rude to me he's always been nice, "Ms. Foster thank heavens I caught up to you" he said trying to catch his breath "I'm aware that my partner has let you go and I just wanted to say I don't agree with what he did but I cannot fight him on the matter seeing as you were his assistant, but I just wanted to give you this" he held out a business card I took it and it read:

Daisies
6543 hurst ave Los Angeles Ca 91342
818-665-5432 ext. 546
daisiesmodels@gmail.com
818-796-3410 call me ASAP

I looked back at him in shock why was he giving me the card to the owner of the  top modeling agencies in LA, "Mr. Walsh I don't understand why you're giving me this" he smiled "Ms. Foster you are incredibly smart and gifted not to mention exceptionally gorgeous and I think you can have a future there and be successful you deserve to be seen and admired not behind a desk working for someone. I know Daisy real well tell her I sent you she'll take care of you"
I felt myself start to get a little teary eyed

"Mr. Walsh i don't know what to say I can't believe this" I shook my head I can't do this I can't be a model I have a full figure with a little extra not was I pretty enough to do this " I can't do this Mr.Walsh I'm sorry but thank you"
He let out a slight chuckle "I'm not giving you the card because I'm the only one that thinks so, Daisy has seen you and thinks you would do exceptionally well with her she asked me to give you her card so you can go see her. Just go see her model for her one time if you don't like you don't have to stay it's just an option especially now that you  are without work"

I nodded and shook his hand and made my leave picking up my box on the way out, I'll check it out and see but it'll probably be a waste of time on both parts that's bound to leave me embarrassed and crying.

I arrived at my new apartment that I recently got not even two months ago it was barely furnished and full of unpacked boxes. I placed the box from work on another box I have yet to in pack and went to the kitchen for a late lunch/early dinner since I spent my lunch period being fired. I opened my fridge and there was barely anything there which ment I was going back out, I slammed the fridge and turned to head back out grabbing my purse and coat on my way out.

I drove to this little diner I like to frequent not to far from my apartment and asked to be seated by the window which I got which was awesome because this place is usually packed
"Can I get you something to drink while you wait for your server?" I nodded "can I get a water with lemon please" he nodded his head and walked away.

A few minutes later a woman came with my water and asked if I was ready to order, I nodded and order a cheeseburger with a side of fries she wrote it down and said it'll be out shortly. I people watched as I waited wondering if they're day was going better than mine or were they going through something worse that made my problem seem small in comparison, it made me wonder how many people suffered in silence or weather they suffered for the world to se but the world wouldn't listen or care. It also made me wonder about the happy people and how they got to that point in life a point where you're happy with what life has given you and what it's going to give you in the future.
I was drawn out of my thoughts by my waitress setting down my food and asking if I wanted a refill of water I nodded and  thanked her.

I ate my food in peace and was happy right now if I was still working stone would probably be yelling at me over a mistake he made and blamed me for. This was a nice change of pace. I finished my food paid the bill and left a nice tip.

I decided to go home and watch a movie before I turned in for the night. I stopped at the grocery store for some snacks knowing I was going to want ice cream and candy for my movie date with myself. How pitiful is that.

Upon arriving home I put the ice cream in the freezer then made a beeline to my bedroom that was also full of boxes that needed to be unpacked. I opened the box that I knew had all of my comfortable clothes in it and picked out a pair of leggings and an oversized t shirt and  got in the shower I washed up with my my favorite lavender body wash and got out and optioned my body down. I did not have time to be ashy even if I was just in the house. I got dressed and grabbed my fluffy warm blanket and headed back to the living room where I threw the blanket on the couch and went to fix myself a bowl of ice cream and grabbed my candy   and plopped myself down on my couch and got comfortable before starting my all time favorite movie big hero six, it's such an underrated movie that got overshadowed by frozen. I finished my bowl of ice cream before the movie was even half way through and fell asleep shortly after that.
