Just when I thought that I was out they pull me back in

They asked me to stay another week.
I think I’m going to yell. I thought I’d paid my final rent check, but no…
The editor called me in and asked me if I could stay until the 12th. I couldn’t think of a suitable excuse to say no, so I agreed.
Now my friend who has a yearly party that I’ve never missed and don’t plan to start now, just asked me if I could make it on the 11th. This party is a pretty big deal, but I can’t see how I could explain that and don’t think I should. What do I say to say, ‘yeah, I can work another week, but I can’t make it for the two last days that are so difficult.’
HELP!

Could you…be sick?
I wish. If I were sick, they’d make me come in anyway. There’s no one to fall back on. There’s a severe shortage –everywhere– of people that can do what I do. If you want to go into journalism, I highly recommend knowing design and copy editing. Even if you don’t want to do them, either one will get your foot in the door.
No, I need something to say that will explain, in advance, why I cannot be here on my last two days which, coincidentally, are the two busiest days of the week.
