Chapter: 1

(Nichole's pov)

"Don't ever publish that crap. No one is going to read that anyways. Why are you even wasting your time?" Her constant words rang through my head.

I jolted awake, shaking and sweating. "Nichole are you okay?!" Jenn and Wylona ran into my room. "Yeah. I'm fine. Just a nightmare I guess." They shrugged it off and we all went back to sleep.

*Beep Beep* I rolled over to see the time, 7:17 am. "Great." I muttered to myself as I sprang out of bed and into my closet. I threw on the first business outfit I could find and ran out the door. I stood outside the office building right when the clock struck 7:30. "Another fun day of work." I said sarcastically to myself so that no one else on the streets on London could hear me.

"Oh good! You're right on time. Lots of work to be done already and the da has just begun!." Mrs. Tanner, my boss and owner of the company, turned her back as I rolled my eyes. "You have about 3 stories to type, 2 to proof read, and 2 to print. Get busy!" I listened to her high heels click against the marble floors down the hall before heading the opposite way to my desk.

I work at a publishing office. I sit here and type stories of successful authors for other to enjoy, while my stories sit in the notebooks under my bed. "They aren't even good." The voice inside my head told me. I shrugged it off and began to work.

A soft knock came to my door. "Come in." I answered, continuing to type away. The young man in the doorway cleared his throat when I peeled my eyes off the computer screen.

There stood Louis Tomlinson.

Trying very hard to stay professional, I quickly said, "You must be looking for Jane Tanner. She's down the hall, 3rd door to your right." I went back to typing, when I noticed he hadn't moved.

"Would you like me to show you?" I smiled softly. "Hm? Oh no. I came to see you…." He paused, waiting for me to tell him my name. "Nichole, Nichole Hubbell." He held out his hand, which I gladly took. "I actually came in here to see you Nichole." My jaw dropped and my eyes widened. He was there to see me, and I was more than thrilled.
