Remember Me (L.T// AU)

8. I so wish this was alcohol

Emily's P.O.V

As I reach the 18th floor, I kept my head low and start walking towards my cubicle. I don't know why I held my head low, I knew it was not because of shame, but maybe it was down because of all the things going on in my mind about all the events that have happened since morning. Yeah, that must be it.

As I walk towards cubicles I see that Harry had rolled over to my cubicle on his chair and as I get there he asks, "Do you have my coffee now?". Though I got a little irritated at his comment but I was just too tired to argue so I said, "Oh right sorry. Forgot them in Niall's office. I'll be right back." He gives me a confused look and mumbles an 'okay'. I make my way towards Niall's office and knock before going in. He looks at me and smiles and as I go in he asks, "So, how'd it go? Did he like it?". He had this sparkle in his eye as if asking for a positive response but I silently shook my head and said, "No, he went all Godzilla on me..." I chuckled lightly to let him know that he shouldn't worry but he looked right through me and asked what was wrong. I didn't even try to hide it and just straight up told him, "I got fired." I turned around to wipe my tears with my pinky and turned around and smiled at him. "So anyways, I came here to pick up the coffee tray as Harry was getting a little cranky without his caffeine. So, gotta go..." I said walking towards the coffee tray to pick it up without making eye contact but before I could pick it up, Niall stopped my hand and this made me look up and his eyes held softness. The moment we made eye contact my eyes decided to betray me and went all Nigeria falls on me. 

He wiped my tears and pulled me in for a hug and I'm glad he did because I didn't know I needed this hug until I was in his embrace. He kept soothing me by either petting my head or rubbing my back slowly. After crying for a while and ruining his jacket we pulled away from our comforting session and he asked, "Better?" I smiled at him and nodded. I took my coffee cup holder and went to Harry's cubicle and handed him his coffee while chugging down my own. "Ugh I so wish this was alcohol." I said while putting away my cup. Harry just stared at me and then asked, "What happened? Are you ok?" Obviously Harry didn't know anything that had been going own so I stopped myself from yelling at him and explained everything to him slowly. "Wait, so you got fired?" he asked still confused as hell. "Oh my god Harry how am I supposed to explain it more clearly than I did?! Oof, yes the gist is that I got fired." 

"Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!" He exclaimed his voice going lower and lower as every 'o' passed. 

I rolled my eyes at him and said, "Drama queen."

"Hey! I'm not a drama queen. Don't you realize the seriousness of this situation? You will never be able to walk inside this firm to give this handsome looking god his coffee everyday!" He said with a serious face.

"Ugh Harry come on! I just cried my eyes out!" I said looking directly in his eyes.

"Oh come here" he said getting up from his chair to give me a hug. He hugged me by squeezing me in his arms and swaying a little from one side to the other. "I'll miss my desk buddy..." He said in a childish voice which made my heart melt. How can this guy get any cutter??

"Me too"

I had just finished stacking all my files together with a little help from Harry, to give them to Sam when suddenly the elevator doors opened to reveal Alex coming towards me. No let me rephrase that. Alex came stomping towards me and basically jumped on me as she hugged me. "Oh my god why?!" she practically screamed. "Shh keep your voice low!" I told her as I didn't want to grab attention that I just got fired. "Right sorry, but still.... why you?" she said while concluding our hug. "Well, it's not in our hands so..." I said while doing a shruggie. "Yeah but, let's still meet up on this Saturday okay?" she said with a sad smile. "Oh of course. You're not gonna get rid of me that easily." I said jokingly.
