Hair Dye & Emotion

Chapter 14

*Michael POV*

After I dropped Luke and Calum off at their house, I lingered in their driveway to gather my thoughts, my thoughts that consisted of a certain red and blue haired girl... Alicia. Her perfect smile, the way her greeny brown eyes shine when she becomes passionate about something. I had seen the way a fire had burned in her eyes when she had delivered her little speak to Luke and Calum about telling the fans today, it was an inspirational sight. She was beautiful and I knew I was falling for her. I thought I had been in love with Lucy after all these years of knowing her, but the recent events had made it clearer that she was meant to be with Ashton. It also told me that the amount of time you know someone doesn't determine how fast feelings can develop. I'd known Alicia for a little less than a month and I was already feeling this way. If that wasn't an indictation then I didn't know what was. Taking a deep breath, I pulled out of their driveway and began to make my way home. I wanted nothing more than to do something about these feelings but I didn't want to force Alicia into something that she would regret. I pulled up to my house and my phone beeped next to me. I looked at the name on the screen and automatically a smile pulled itself onto my face. It was a text from Alicia.

1 new message* ALICIA :-)

*Hey, I'm sorry for using you as a pillow before xD xo

I smiled at the message and clambered out of my car, walking up to my front door as I typed a reply.

*Its fine, if you're anything like me then I know how much sleep means to you; where you sleep doesn't matter. Besides you looked cute :3 xox

I sent the reply and fumbled with my keys, trying to unlock my front door. After many failed attempts I began to get agitated when the door finally swung open. I walked inside, phone still in my hand as I slipped my shoes off my feet and flipped on the lights as I travelled through the house. I finally crashed down on my sofa and turned the T.V. on but there wasn't anything on that took my interest. I sighed and lay back, staring at the ceiling, thinking of her. I glanced at the clock in the corner of my phone screen to see that it was almost 2am. I really wanted to make her mine, but rushing her wasn't going to get me anywhere and would probably scare her off and for all I knew, she might not even feel the same way about me. Thoughts of what Jason could have done to her if she hadn't have called Lucy and then Lucy called me that night flooded my head. It had taken everything in me not to seriously hurt him, to rid Alicia of him for good. My head became clouded with negative and dark thoughts and I squeezed my eyes closed to try and rid myself of them. I wasn't used to feeling like this; having emotion spring itself on me with so much force, and my feelings for Alicia had made themselves know with such a force and at such an accelerated pace that it literally knocked the breath from my lungs. I didn't know whether it was a good think or not. Time could only tell.

*Alicia POV*

I lay down on the bed in my room and sighed with contentment. Now I was completely and utterly convinced I felt something towards Michael. When he had asked me out to coffee at the hospital, I had been internally screaming. I hadn't even known him for over a day and he already made me blush and caused butterflies to flutter in my stomach. The boys band has a lot of female fans that I knew would die to even speak with him, and yet there I had been, drinking highly priced coffee and talking flirtatiously with him. I would be lying if I said I wasn't silently fangirling. Of course that had all been ruined when Jason showed up. My thoughts flickered back to that night nearly 3 weeks ago but I quickly dismissed them. Nothing good came from dwelling in the past, especially when it was a past like mine, a dark and dangerous placed. I wanted something to happen between me and Michael but I didn't know if I wanted another relationship considering how fucked up my last one had been. I didn't want to rush and ruin it. I wanted it to be special, meaningful. Glancing at my phone, I saw it was nearing 2am and I gladly let my eyelids slide close, finally loosing the battle I had been fighting against my own fatigue. I knew Michael would be sleeping now, that or playing a video game.

*skip sleep*

"Alicia! Get out of that bed!" Lucy screamed at me. She was bouncing on my bed banging a pot with a wooden spoon. I groaned and rolled over, annoyed that she had woke me up. I covered my head with a pillow.

"Why the fuck are you waking me up!?" I shouted back at her, but it was muffled considering I had a pillow clamped over my head so I highly doubted she could tell I was shouting back at her.

"If you remember, we are viewing a house today, in an hour and a half might I add, that could possibly be your new home! Now get your ass out of bed and go get a shower and I will make you breakfast... lunch... BRUNCH for when you're ready" she practically dragged me out of the warm confines of the bed and pushed my in the direction of the en suite bathroom. I laughed at her as she scrurried out of the room and I opened the cupboard that contained the towels before stripping down and getting in the shower; altering the temperature of the water to make it hotter in the hope that it would loosen my muscles and wake me up. I washed my hair and body and completed other shower based tasks before wrapping a towel around my hair and body. I brushed my teeth and moisturised before going back into the bedroom. I put on my underwear and pulled on a pair of ripped skinny jeans.

"Lucy! Green Day or Pierce The Veil band tee?!" I shouted down to her. She replied Green Day, saying that I wear my Pierce The Veil t shirt too much which was correct. It was one of my favourites. I pulled it over my body and continued onto the vanity dresser to style my hair and apply my makeup. After my hair was dry and straightened, I applied my concealer, foundation, mascara and my eyeliner on my eyelids, adding minimal flicks for dramatic effect. The smell of food wafted up to me and my stomach growled ravenously so I made my way down to the kitchen. When I got there, I saw bacon, eggs etc placed on a plate on the counter with a glass of coffee next to me.

"Sit, eat. ASHTON BRE...LUN...FOOD!!" Lucy was in missionary mode, flying around the kitchen and cleaning it at the same time to save herself the hassle of doing it later. Ashton wandered into the kitchen then and placed a kiss on Lucy's cheek before grabbing his plate of food and joining me at the table. After we had demolished it, I helped Lucy clean up before pulling on my black vans and coat, it was almost time to view the house.

"Ash, baby, we will be back later. Please don't make a mess" she told him before walking out to the car.

"Later Ash" I told him before following Lucy out to the car.

"HAPPY HOUSE HUNTING!" Ashton called out before I closed the door behind me.
