Flashes Chapter 1

This is going to be my new story aside form Hello? Hello. So I hope that you like it! And give this a review if you want more! Thank you and enjoy!

I bet you have your life planned out. I bet if your in your last years of high school you're probably thinking about what College or University you want to go to. If you have what it takes to be excepted into the most prestigious medical school in the United States. Or maybe you're already studying in some collage far away from your family and you're stressed out about wanting to be excepted to be one of the few to study abroad for a semester or maybe even a full year so that you can be even farther away from your family. But maybe you haven't thought about any of that at all, and maybe you won't. Some of us don't have there life planned out. And even if you try to plan your life out, fate will always throw a bullet at you. And it's up to you whether you want to dodge it or face it head on. Ally Dawson, definitely had everything planned, but fate intervened and everything went downhill from then on.

Ally's POV

July 17th

I whistle at a taxi driver who was driving down the street. The cab driver stopped the vehicle and I run up to the cab and hopped inside the back. "Where am I taking you dear?"

"Diamond Daily Building." I told the taxi driver.

The driver takes off and I look out the window of New York City to see huge business buildings. I am practically living the dream. I got the best fiancé ever and the best friends ever.

I arrive at the building and enter inside through the revolving doors. The first thing I look at when I enter the building every morning is the magazine covers for Diamond Daily Magazine. July's Issue just got up and Megan Fox posed for the cover. 'Megan's sexiest tips for when in bed with your hubby!' I just love my job as a journalist. I actually got to talk to Megan herself and ask her questions about her next project. I even met her for lunch and we got to know each other personally. So, you can see Megan and I are friends, which I think is pretty cool. My job has given me tons of opportunities and when I find the chance to take one, I do. This job has even given me the opportunity to go to a red carpet premiere for a movie where I actually met my fiancé!

Austin Moon, the man of my life. I met him at the movie premiere for Lost and Cornered. I was given the opportunity to interview him but then we actually got to know each other personally and I haven't been happier with him. Our wedding date is planned to be in August of the 25th. I can't believe I'm going to marry him next month. It felt like yesterday that I met him. I met him two years before we ever decided to take anything further in our relationship. So, I've known him for quite a while. If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't have met my best friends ever Dez and Trish.

Dez and Trish were married before I even met them. They are the cutest couple I've ever seen. Another cool part of my job is that I get to work with Trish here at the Diamond Daily. Trish is also a Journalist. She started working here last year after she got fired from her other job. I was actually the one who convinced her to become a journalist when she didn't think she had what it took. She is amazing at what she does and I wouldn't be surprised if she got promoted.

Our boss is choosing two people to get promoted and I really hope that's Trish and I. She deserves it more than anyone that I know. She's worked so hard this past year and a half to get a spot in the higher class. I'll be so upset if she doesn't get a spot.

"Hey!" Trish greeted me as I entered the elevator.

"Hey." I smiled at her with a happy sigh.

"What's got you so chipper today, Ally? You know that Mrs. Jessie picks who gets promoted today, right?" Trish asks me nervously.

"Yeah, I know. And I know that you and I are going to be the one to get chosen."

"Then if that is not why you are so happy today, what is it?" She laughs.

"Austin and I had some amazing fun last night."

"Good for you two but you don't have to go into any detail."

I laughed, "I wasn't going to. You're so weird."

The elevator rang and we walked to our desks. I set my jacket on the back of my chair and sat down on my spiny chair. I turned on my laptop that was set on top of my desk. I open up my emails to see that I never got anything special. My then I look back again and it was an email sent to Austin and I from our Wedding Planner.

I am pleased to say that we are officially done planning the wedding! All you two have to do is be there in your tux and dress. Can't wait to see you two next month. Congratulations! Have an amazing day you two.

I reply a long thanks and send it to her.

"Promotion time!" Trish comes up to me.

I get up from my chair and follow Trish to the one corner of the building and Mrs. Jessie starts talking. "Hello everyone! As you all know today is the day I pick who will be chosen to be promoted to the next point in there career. I would just like to say before we start that all have you worked very well and I wish you all the best. I am going to be promoting Amanda James and Ally Dawson! Congratulations! Now, for the rest of you, get back to work, please!" She smiles.

I can't believe Trish didn't get picked to be promoted. I feel so sorry for her.

She sends me a smile and walks back to her desk as I walk with Amanda to Mrs. Jessie's office where she is going to be explaining everything to us.

"Als, why are you so stressed? You got the promotion. I thought that's what you wanted." Austin says walking over to me from the kitchen as I sit in the living room couch with my legs crossed looking at the TV but not really paying attention to is since I am talking to Austin.

"It is but I just wish Trish got it, too. She worked really hard for that promotion." I say to him. Austin comes up to me and starts massaging my shoulders. He knows exactly what to do when I feel stressed.

"Just don't let it get to you. You got what you wanted. Trish will eventually get it."

"Thanks. I'm tired. I'm just going to go to bed."

"I guess I'll go to bed with you."

The next day I go to work and start packing up my boxes because I am begin promoted to the next level. I am so happy that I got this promotion.

My life is amazing right now. I just got promoted to work with ever type of person out there and I get a new assignment! I'm getting engaged to the best man in the world. How could it get any better.

I reach to the top of the building and find my room. You heard me! I get my own office room!

As I sit down on my chair the alarm goes off! I start coughing as I look at the door and see smoke piling into my confined room. I run to the door and grab onto the handle when I burn my hand from the heat of the door knob. I cry in pain as I just burnt my hand really badly. I grab the sleeve of my coat and open the door but as soon as I opened it a burst of flames made my mind go blank.

I hope you enjoyed this! If you like it follow it and leave a review! Thank you!
