Thanks for trying out my story!
This is my first one so I hope it's alright! Leave reviews! I don't own Austin and Ally or How to lose a guy in 10 days! ENJOY!
"it's good, Really good ally." Trish wasn't stupid, the article was amazing, beyond amazing even, but even she knew there were limits when it comes to Margret, their overly dramatic, domineering boss.
"Really? You think?" Ally asked hopefully. As one of the head journalist, she has been working on this one particular article for weeks, hoping to get it published. "Yeah I really do…but you know she's going to hate it."
Ally knew she was right. Ever since she got this job she's has been writing nothing but gossip and fashion. "ugh I know Trish! But I'm sick of writing stupid gossip and fashion that no one in their right mind would ever dare to try! I didn't graduate from the top journalist school to do THIS! I did it to write about music and art! I'm the 'how to' girl Trish! People listen to me!" By now Ally had raised her voice, making everyone in the office to turn and stare at the petite brunette and her curly haired friend.
"Okay! Calm down would you? Haha, I never said you couldn't write it. I'm just saying, if you play by Margret's rules just a bit longer you will be able to create as many articles the way you want!" Trish said trying to reason with her best friend.
"I know, you're right. Sorry." Ally sighed. Trish gave her a sympathetic smile.
"Meeting in an hour journalists!" called out one of the workers. Ally started to make her way to the meeting room. She wanted to be early, maybe talk to Margret about letting her publish her article. As she gathered her stuff she looked at the empty desk across from her. Where was Cassidy? She looked over to Trish and saw she was staring at the desk too. Their eyes met for a moment before Trish spoke.
"It's your turn."
"CASSIDY OPEN THE DAMN DOOR!" Ally yelled, annoyed that her friend was taking forever to answer her door. "Just go away and leave me to rot away in my misery!" Ally heard from the other side. "Oh god you are such a drama queen." Ally muttered under her breath before she spoke again, softer this time. "Just open up Cass please." The door than crept open slowly and Ally waited patiently till it was fully open. There on the other side was Cassidy dressed up in sweats and a funky smell that Ally hoped would air out soon since the door was now open.
"Hey! Don't you look great?" Ally lied. "You don't have to lie to me Als I know I look like hell." Cassidy sighed while climbing back onto the couch. "Well okay look why don't you get dressed, I'll go get us some coffee and then we can make our way to the meeting. C'mon hurry before we both get fired!" Ally demanded calmly, hopefully avoiding the drama this time. "No I don't mind being fired. There is nothing good in my life anymore anyways." Yup, same old drama Ally thought to herself while rolling her eyes at her blonde friend.
"Look I'm not going to let my friend lose her job on top of everything." Ally smiled down to her now crying friend. "really?" Cassidy asked. "you really want to help me again?" Cassidy was no fool. She knew this was probably the 107th time that either Ally or Trish has come to get her to go to work after a nasty split.
"really really. So please clean yourself up now or I'll just drag you by your hair and go to work like this." Ally said dead seriously and with that Cassidy went to change knowing that Ally would really do it.
"I just don't understand! I thought we really hit it off Ethan and me!" Cassidy complained while Ally and Trish struggled to keep up with her pace. "Well you know what they say…" Trish began. "What?" Ally asked as both Cassidy and she had turned to hear what Trish had to say. "I don't know I just hear people say that a lot…" Trish muttered which made the other two girls laugh. "Seriously though, the sex was GREAT!" Cassidy continued "I remember our first time too! It was AH MAZING! I even cried!"
Ally and Trish suddenly froze. "Wait what? You cried?" Asked Ally who was still a little taken back. "Yeah you mean like a single stray tear right?" Trish asked hopefully. "Nope I was full out bawling! That was the first night I told him I loved him!" Cassidy sighed as she remembered that night. Ally's eyes grew huge "After how many days?" "I don't know like 5…okay 2…but I mean love is love! It's weird though, right after that he was always too busy for work and never answering his phone." Cassidy replied. "Cass you can't do that! No wonder he left you!" Trish said bluntly. "Yeah Cass, Trish is right, I mean if even an extremely gorgeous supermodel would get dumped if they did the things that you did." Ally muttered, trying not to hurt her friends ego. "That's not it though, I already know why I got dumped!" Cassidy said speeding up her paste to catch the next elevator. "What's the reason?" Trish questioned as they stepped through the closing doors. "I'm too fat!" Cassidy said with a shrug. "You're not fat!" both Ally and Trish yelled as the doors had finally closed.
"Sit." Margret demanded while everyone scrambled to their seats. "Okay idea's people! Stacy! What do you have?" She asked impatiently. "Oh um well I got this great new yoga piece that I think the-" Stacy started but was suddenly cut off. "hate it! next! Ah, Cassidy what about you." Cassidy's eyes grew large. With everything going on she had forgotten about this meeting. "Oh well um you see Margret, I um just had a nasty break up and well I really didn't have time to-" she started but was cut off just like Stacy. "oh sweetie, it's okay I completely understand. STACY! You write it!" Margret interrupted. Cassidy's eyes had grown to saucers by now. "WHAT? Oh no I don't think Stacy has no business involving my life and I'm not too comfortable to uh share my um-" Cassidy started. Ally seeing her friend in need quickly stepped in to help.
"I'll do it!" Ally said without thinking. "WHAT?" both Cassidy and Trish had turned their head to their supposedly best friend. "You will?" Margret asked raising an eyebrow. Ally muttered a quick trust me toward Cassidy and Trish before answering her boss. "um yeah I will, well something like that I mean, look at Cass. She is doing so many things wrong in a relationship, no offence, that so many woman out there do too! What if I wrote about things woman should not do in a relationship kind of thing?" Ally improvised.
Margret smiled which Ally assumed that was a good sign. "I like it! A 'how to' on what not to do." Margret thought. Ally sighed. There goes her opportunity to publish her actual article. "Exactly! I can um start to date a guy, and then gradually become a nightmare that he would have to break up with me!" Ally made up. Where was she going with this? "Perfect! How to lose a guy in 10 days!" Margret replied. She was sure this would be a hit article. Ally on the other hand was starting to get nervous.
"Um why 10 days?" She asked. 10 days was not enough time at all! "Because, 5 is too short and we go to press in 11." Margret answered quickly, growing impatient on the subject. "Oh okay." Ally muttered. She looked over to her two friends, both having huge smiles on their faces. "Thank you" Cassidy mouthed. "You owe me." Ally mouthed back.
"I can't believe you did that for me!" Cassidy said while hugging the small brunette. "Yeah me neither, how are you going to pull it off?" Asked Trish bluntly. "I have no idea, I guess I'll just find a guy at the dinner party tonight and act like a total crazy person." Ally sighed.
"AH Ally there you are!" Margret quickly grabbed Ally and led her to another girl. "Tilly, this is my 'how to' girl Ally, Ally, this is Tilly from Music Mania." Margret introduced. Ally's eyes widened when she realized where this girl was from. Music Mania was the top music advertisement lable in America! "Nice to meet you Ally!" Tilly said. "Yeah you too!" Ally replied, maybe a little too quickly. "So what is the 'how to" girl working on now? I've got to say I love your columns!" Tilly asked. By now Ally felt the crazy fangirl inside of her trying to break free, but she remained her cool. Just when she was about to answer, Margret cut in.
"She's doing it on what not to do when dating someone. She's going to date a guy then drive him away! Genius isn't it?" Margret smirked, proud of her young journalist. "Wow, really genius." Tilly said impressed. Ally let out a breathy laugh "thanks, I uh try."
Ally wasn't too sure on how this would all work out. In fact she hated where this article was going. But if she wanted to write about things she liked, then she had to play by her boss's rules.
"what am I doing?" Ally muttered to herself.
