Ashton POV

I walk into Michael's house to be greeted by Michael's mom. "Sorry Ashton, Michael doesn't want visitors." She told me with a sad smile.

I nodded. "I know. I'm here to cheer him up." I tell her with a smile. She nods approvingly and motions upstairs where Michael must be.

Michael had been stuck in his room for over a month, only coming out to go to school, eat, and use the bathroom. I haven't seen my best friend like I use to and I blame that damn Isaac kid.

I walk into Michaels room to be hit with the worst smell to ever come to contact with my nostrils. I instantly bring my hand up to pinch my nose.

"Yuck, Michael!" I yell and he looks at me with puffy red eyes and tear stains on his cheeks. My face softens as I approach him. I sit on his bed that's covered in used tissues and empty ice cream cartons with a grimace.

"Mikey.." I say softly and he opens his arms wanting to cuddle. I don't usually cuddle with anyone but when Michael is sad I'll cuddle when he wants so I nodded and played down pulling him into my arms. He instantly cuddles into me and sniffles.

"I-i'm so s-sad, Ash" he tells me in a croaky voice that made me cringe a little. I look down at him and frown I hate seeing my best friend sad. He actually loved Isaac and all Isaac did was hurt him.

Suddenly an idea occurred to me. "Hey, Mikey?" I say earning his attention. "We're gonna go to Adelaide soon right?" He nods so I continue, "let's make Isaac regret ever cheating on you" I finish with a smirk.

He looks at me confused so I continue,"let's give you a make-over! We can redo your hair again to get rid of that fading red,ugh, then get you looking good and Isaac will regret everything". He looks at me excitedly and nods eagerly.

"Great! Now go take a shower you stink." I say pinching my nose again. He slaps my arm with a fake glare then giggles and leaves to take a shower while I clean up his room.

Right now we're at Target trying to find a nice hair dye that'll look good on Michael.

"Purple?"

"No."

"Pink?"

"No."

"Green?"

"No."

Every color I suggested he declined. What color does this boy want!

"Black!" Michael said excitedly. I looked at the color then at Michael and nodded. If that what makes him happy. I thought.

I paid for his dye because I'm just that good of a friend and we headed to his house to do his new color.

Michael's POV

I'm sitting in my kitchen with Ashton waiting for my hair to change color. Ashton was tapping away at his phone which was weird because he's not usually texting this much.

"Who you texting?" I ask curiously. He looks up at me then blushes a deep red as he replied slowly,"no one..." I snatch his phone out his hands and start running to my room when Ashton chases me. I slam the door shut and lock it looking through his messages realizing that he's texting/flirting with "Luke?!" I yell and open my door to a nervous and red Ashton.

I'm not mad I'm happy Ashton found someone even if it's my cousin it makes me happy if he's happy. "Cool." I say simply. He looked shocked but nodded as I gave him back his phone

I walked to the bathroom to look at my hair. It looks ready to be washed so I do just that, with the help of Ashton, in the sink.

Ashton doesn't let me look until my hair is completely dry, which makes me worried thinking it came out bad. Like what if it came out blue? What if we used the wrong dye? What if-

"Michael, look" Ashton says loudly finally turning me around. I must have been thinking for a while."here's the new you".

I look in the mirror happy with what I see. The new me.
