《Best friend VS Boyfriend》We could all use a friend like Louis Tomlinson

Advertisement

Right after the Kendall-incident Taylor and Louis leave the party, quickly saying goodbye to Ed and some other friends of Taylor. They didn't stay for the other artists to perform. Taylor could see how uneasy Louis was feeling and after how her best friend had defended her only minutes ago, it was up to her to leave together with him when he feels uncomfortable. Taylor is happy that she has Louis as her best friend, no one is as supportive as he is.

The next morning Louis wants to wake up early. He really can't risk coming too late again. Mister Cowell will kill him. He wakes up by the sunlight shining through his window instead of the annoying sound of his alarm

"For real?" Louis groans when he takes his phone from the nightstand, seeing that his battery is dead. He stares at the wire that's lying next to the plug instead of connected to it. "Fuck my life, should I go or already look for a new job?" He murmurs to himself, morning mood ruined already. He decides to leave his bed, takes a shower because he is late anyway and grabs a granola bar that he eats on his way to work, probably for the last time by the way.

When he is on the subway, people around him start to whisper to each other, pointing at Louis. The boy starts to feel uncomfortable. Is there food between his teeth? Does he smell? Is his hair weird? Why is everyone staring, Louis is happy when he finally reaches his final destination three stops later. He quickly jumps out of the subway, ignoring the looks from people he gets all the way until he is in the office building.

"Look who has showed up!" Zayn says, not looking away from his screen. "Do you want to get fired, Louis? Are you like getting off on being too late?" he jokes.

"My phone wasn't plugged in so my alarm didn't go off." Louis curses. "Want some coffee?"

"I'd love to, but mister Cowell was already here to check if you were present, which you weren't so he left again. He told me to tell you that you have to come to his office immediately once you had arrived."

"Ugh, fuck my life." Louis groans, throwing his back on the floor. "It was nice working with you, Zayn." Louis says while he walks towards the office.

"Does that mean I will finally get the good stapler when you're fired?"

"Don't even dream about it. It's fired with me!" Louis yells back, making Zayn laugh.

Louis knocks on mister Cowell's door and just like yesterday the man shouts to come in.

"Good morning mister Cowell." Louis smiles as convincing as possible. "Look, first of all. I know I'm too late again and I'm very sorry, sir. It sounds as a stupid excuse but my phone wasn't plugged in the charger and it died in the middle of the night and-"

"Louis, why don't you just sit down and relax? It's okay, those things can happen. It's not a big deal. You can call me Simon by the way" He has a friendly smile on his face.

Louis is confused, very confused. Only yesterday Louis got a burner from his boss about being always too late, threatened to get fired. Today everything is alright, his voice is sugar sweet and he is understanding? Strange. This is also the first time that he says Louis' name correctly.

"Oh, okay..." Louis sits down in front of his boss. "Why am I here then Sir... Simon?"

"Do you remember what you asked me, Louis?" the man asks, hands folded and staring at Louis intensely.

"I uh- No?" He stutters.

"Does social media assistant ring a bell?"

And Louis' eyes go wide. It was months ago that there was a vacancy within the company where Louis applied for. That time Simon just looked at him, laughed, and gave the job to Kelly, some young girl that sucks his cock regularly.

"Yes, yet it does."

"Well, the job is yours Louis. That means you'll get the opportunity to go to events where we're invited to. Your job will be to post content about it, about the articles that are written. You'll get the passwords to our facebook, Instagram, snapchat and what's that new thing? Flick Flack?"

"Tik Tok, Sir." Louis corrects him.

"Yes, exactly that. The youngsters love it. My daughter is on it non-stop. An exact description will be sent over to you by e-mail. You will get paid 800 dollars a month extra. You'll still spent time on the office to write blogs but feel free to work at home as well. As long as your face is linked to our company, everything is alright. Is that alright, Louis?"

"It is... Wow, thank you Simon. I don't know how much I can thank you."

"Just remember who gave you this promotion, right buddy?" he smiles. "Lauren will send the contract over to you and then you can start from Monday."

"Thank you, wow really thank you, have a good day!"

"You too, Louis! Also, don't be shy to invite your friends over here or to put them on our social media. It's your platform!"

Louis waves at his boss before he walks to the Starbucks machine and then to Zayn, biggest grin on his face.

"I got promoted!" Louis shrieks. "Zayn, I got the social media position! I'm so happy! Instead of being fired, I got promotion!" Louis makes a little dance, the other colleagues ignoring him completely. They are used to him and don't pay attention to it anymore.

"I'm happy for you, Louis! You deserve it. It's really a dick move that he had to see your face on tv first to give you that opportunity. Everybody around here knows you were better than Kelly anyway."

"My head on tv?" Louis asks. "What do you mean?"

"What? Are you telling me now that you haven't checked the internet yet? Or watched some tv this morning?"

"I told you my phone is dead." Louis says, taking place on his desk chair. "And no, haven't turned on the tv yet."

"Let me show you, mate." Just like yesterday Zayn turns his screen so Louis can follow. There is this big article, a picture of Taylor and him showing and right under there is a video.

Louis quickly reads the article that describes how he defended Taylor in front of Hailey, Kendall and Gigi.

Louis' curiosity takes the best of him and he clicks on the video, putting the volume a bit higher but not too loud so only Zayn and he can hear it.

I'm all for supporting and it's a shame not everybody supports each other. The industry is not always easy and we should all help each other out, not talk bad about. I respect Louis very much that he came up for Taylor. It's not easy as an outsider to talk back to people who are very known around the world. Louis is a legend!

"I had chicken with him!" Ed says enthusiastically. "I'm friends with him after tonight!"

"And I want to eat chicken with him!" Niall Horan continues. "Louis, if you see this, this is an invitation to go to Nando's together mate!"

I'm sorry but Louis is just rude. If you have a problem then just keep it to yourself. Don't go interrupt other people's conversation, that's really impolite.

I really don't want to comment about this. My wife is involved. Just know that I do respect Taylor and I always have. She's a good friend of Selena.

I couldn't attend the party but I'm glad Louis defended Tay. He is the best!

Taylor has to stop looking for attention. If she doesn't write songs that are just overreacted, she uses her best friend to make a scene. Just be talented and get in the news like that, Taylor!

"What a pretentious bitch." Louis huffs.

"There is one more." Zayn says and there indeed Harry Styles appears on the screen.

I wouldn't say they were fighting about me. He was defending Taylor. That's how Louis is, always standing up for the ones he loves. Louis and I used to be close friends as well, and I wouldn't mind if we were again. My respect for this guy grows with the second. I don't care he wasn't praising me, his goal was to protect his best friend which he did. We could all use some friend like Louis Tomlinson.

Louis stops the video, pushes the screen back to Zayn.

"I can't believe that dickhead." Louis murmurs. "He's really talking good about me now? We hate each other!" Louis groans out of frustration. "Fucking Harry Styles."

"Damn, Lou. You should check your Instagram!" Zayn says. He gives his phone to Louis that's open on his profile.

"890 000 FOLLOWERS!" Louis shrieks. "What the fuck? There's only one picture on my Instagram and that's literally your arse."

"My arse got 300 000 likes now." Zayn smirks. "I feel famous."

"Well makes sense now why mister Cowell told me to invite my friends over at work. The man thinks I'll be having dinner at Nando's with Niall, I eat daily chicken with Ed Sheeran, besties with Taylor, which I am obviously but he didn't have to know that, and close to Harry Styles!"

"So, glad you went to that party Louis?" Zayn smirks.

"Feeling fucking amazing."

Note the sarcasm.
