blue turned to navy blue, navy blue turned to the color of the night sky when the stars aren't shining and the clouds covered the moon.
black. loneliness. sadness. no motivation. almost giving up on life.
footsteps were heard outside of michael's bedroom door.
"michael, honey?" it was his mother. "dinners ready," she said.
no sounds were heard from her son.
it's been four and a half days since the boy came out of him room.
"michael, please open the door." karen pleaded.
the black haired boy finally stood up and walked to the door. his hands unlocked the door, and his mother quickly opened it, desperate to see her son.
she didn't have a smile on her face when she saw him, no. instead, her face showed no emotion.
her eyes meet with michael's hair.
black.
never once in her son's life has his hair every reached that color.
her face softened as she looked at her boy. his eyes no longer the vibrant green they used to be. they were replaced with a dull gray.
karen looked around the room. the meals she brought him for the last four days were left untouched on the table. michael's shirt fitted looser than the last time she saw him.
a tear slipped out of her eye as she reached out to hug the boy.
he showed no emotion, he was just standing there.
as soon as his mothers arms were wrapped around his body, he broke down in to a heartbreaking sob.
"l-luke," michael cried out.
"luke? what happened, michael?" she asked.
"he and calum," he said then shook his head.
"is calum that new guy you talked about?" and michael nodded in response.
"l-luke and c-calum k-kissed." The boy choked out and continued crying in his mother's shoulders.
