Chapter 4

June

I'm two weeks into the internship and I love it, it is so much fun. Tara and I are becoming really close friends and I love working there even though I am mostly getting people coffee, I still love it. I have been working really hard to get more of my foot further through the door so that maybe they will invite me back next summer and the summer after that and after that all the way through college. It would be amazing to get tons of connections for when I am out of college and trying to start up my career.

"Hey Elly I was wondering if you could come with me to my office," Mr. Lavery asked as he walked up to my and Tara's cubical.

"Of course," I said starting to walk in the direction of his office with him.

"Ooh somebody is in trouble" Tara called as Mr. Lavery and I walked away so I turned around slightly and flipped her off making sure nobody saw but her.

Right before we walked into his office my boss turned to me and whispered "don't freak out, just stay calm and try not to fangirl too much". When the words left his mouth I was quite confused but when he opened the door and we walked in I immediately knew why he said that.

When we walked in I saw a tall figure standing right behind the boss's desk and when he looked up at me I saw something amazing it was Harry fucking Styles.

"HOLY SHIT I CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S YOU, YOUR HARRY STYLES, THAT'S INSANE, Oh I'm sorry I freaking out, I am really sorry I just have loved you almost my whole life, Well since 2010, now I'm rambling, I am going to shut up now"

He just laughed and said in a comforting tone "Hey it's ok you're fine but I bet you are also a little confused about what I am doing here?"

"Um yeah a little bit"

"Well, Stan here and I are old friends. We were talking the other day and he mentioned the internship and you" Harry said with a cute little smile on his face. At this point, I am beyond shocked that my boss mentioned me to Harry styles. "He said how you wanted to be a manager and I thought that the best way for you to accomplish that would be working with the artist not serving the people that work for the coffee. So I decided if you wanted to you could spend the rest of the summer being a sorta groupie of mine. It would be nothing special you would just follow me around all summer to interviews, I have a few shows. And see the process of me starting to write my next album. If you wanted to that is"

"Of course I would love to but I would have to ask my parents first but if they say yes then yes"

"Ok cool if they say yes I am doing a promotional performance at STAPLES Center at 6 tonight here is your pass to get into the back," he said giving me a card thing with a lanyard attached to it. "I hope to see you there," he says walking out of the office.

For a good minute I just still there with my mouth open looking at the card in my hand until Mr. Lavery said quietly "you can have the rest of the day off to get your things together and I hope you do take this opportunity but we will miss you here at the label you were great at fetching coffee" he chuckled at the last part then sat down at his desk as I turn to walk out of the office with shock still written across my face.

I walked back to my cubical with the same shocked expression and it seemed to worry Tara because As soon as she saw me she jumped to her feet and rushed over to me asking me "what happened? Are you ok? Did you get fired? Why do you look like that?"

"No, I didn't get fired I kind of got a promotion"

"What do you mean 'you kind of got a promotion'?"

"Well he took me to his office and standing in his office was Harry Styles and he offered me an internship-ish thing where I would spend the summer with him instead of here," I say gather my stuff up to go home so I can call my parents.

"Wow... Congratulations are you going to take it?"

"If my parents let me then yeah I mean this is a dream come true for me, I'm sorry I have to go" I hurriedly say walking towards the elevators.

When I get home I put down muy stuff and facetime my parents. When they answer they look a little worried probably because I never call this early. "Hi, sweetheart why are you calling us this early I thought you had work?"

"Well I do kind of but my boss said I could leave early today so I could call you guys and ask you a question," I say getting a little nervous about how they will react.

"Ok what's up," my mom said with a confused look on her face.

"Today my boss called me into his office to talk to one of his friends who is a musician. The guy asked me if I wanted to travel with him this summer he isn't touring but he has a few shows and interviews. So what do you think? Can I do it? Please?"

"Elly you just got to Los Angeles..." My dad said sounding a little concerned. "Anyway, who is this guy?"

"Harry Styles!!! You know the guy on my wall. And the one I have been dedicated to since 2010 ."

"Well Elly we have never met this man and you are 16 you can't just jump join him on tour without barley knowing him," my mom said with a sad and worried expression.

"Guys this is a huge opportunity it could help me get the career I have always dreamed of having. How am I supposed to pass that up? "

"That is a good point but Elly you are in high school you should not have to worry about your career yet," my mom said with a sympathetic smile.

"Mom, dad I understand that this is crazy and I am 16 but when will I get this opportunity again?" I question with pleading eyes.

They have each other a look then my dad asked "when would you be starting?"

"Tonight, he gave me a pass to his show. I have to be there by 6"

"Ok we will talk then call you back"

"Ok, thank you," I say as they hang up.

A few minutes later they called back and as soon as I answered I said "so...?"

"This is a very good and cool opportunity and we know you would love it so we decided to let you go" my mom said with a cracked smile.

"No way! Really! Thank you so look much! I love you so so much"

"Your welcome but promise us that you won't get pregnant, drink, or do drugs" my dad said in a lecturing tone.

"I promise and I love you guys so much but I have to get packing and get ready for tonight."

"We love you too. Have fun. And call us tomorrow" my mom said just before I hung up.
