16 - Hair dye

"Guess what." I stopped scrolling trough my tumblr feed and looked up. Michael stuck his head around the corner of my door.

"What?" I asked. He walked in with his hands behind his back, hiding something from me. "No really, what is it?" I stood up and jumped on him, trying to get the thing he was holding.

He grinned and from behind his back, he showed the box of lilac hair dye.

"No Michael, I'm not doing it! No!" Thinking of how my mother would react, I'd never do it.

"But you promised!" Michael pouted. He looked like and actual kitten. Well, a redhaired, skinny jeans wearing kitten, if that makes any sense.

"Michael, I'm not dying my hair lilac!" I playfully threw a pillow from my bed at him.

"Ouch." He acted like it hurt him and pouted again. "It would look so good on you though! And we would match and it'll be super awesome!" I shook my head. "Only for the Jingle Ball. I promise I'll dye your hair back afterwards!" He was almost begging, going down on his knees. At this point, it was actually kind of funny seeing him like this and I couldn't help but laugh.

"You're such a dork." He laughed and hugged me. "I know. So you're doing it?" I smiled. Only because you're such a dumb potato head and I can't say no to you."

He threw his arms up in excitement and ran out of my room.

"She's doing it, Luke, we're gonna dye our hair!" I could hear him shout from down the hall. Such a dork.

I was sitting leg crossed on the floor of my room with my acoustic guitar and a notebook. Writing songs is something that can take a lot of time and since the last few weeks had been really busy, I didn't have time to write any.

I already had a riff for the verses, which sounded quite sad; guess this wasn't going to be a happy song.

The riff reminded me of home somehow, and my family, and how my life always had been a little complicated.

While playing the riff, I just started singing words that popped up. Maybe I'll figure a verse out.

"All the battles, all the wars, all the times that you've fought
She's the scar, she's the bruises, she's the pain that you brought."

That sounded alright. I was just writing it down, when Ashton knock on my already open door.

"Can I come in?" He asked, lovely as he is. I nodded and he sat down on the floor next to me.

"Are you writing a song?" He looked at the notebook. I felt like I was getting very red. I blushed and nodded.

"What pain are you talking about?" He asked and looked at me with his brown eyes.

Ashton and I hadn't really had a serious conversation between us yet, so it felt kind of weird opening up to him about my life. Maybe he'll find out we have something in common and we'll bond over that.

"Well, eh, my parents broke up when I was 11. It has really affected who I am as a person right now."

"Really? My parents split up when I was younger too."

"I know." I said and regretted it soon after.

"That sounded extremely creepy I'm so sorry."

"No, Michael told us you were a fan, it's fine." He snickered and gave me a pat on my back while standing up. "Hey, if you want any help with the song, you can always ask me." And he walked off.

"I'm scared." I was sitting on a chair in front of the mirror in the bathroom. Michael wanted to do my hair first, so I can help him when he's doing his.

I had a towel turban on and the timer said my hair would be ready now. "Okay, time to remove the towel!" His hand slowly undid the towel. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. "Does it look presentable?" My breath faltered.

"Holy shit balls! This looks so good on you!" I opened one eye. A soft toned purple head was sitting in front of me. I brushed my fingers trough my hair and curled a wisp around my finger. It did sort of look good on me. The bright color matched my warm brown eyes very well. I just looked so different.

"Do you like it?" Michael whispered next to me. "I don't know, to be honest." I sighed and looked at the mirror, making a pouty face. "Maybe I just have to get used to it."

"You know, the first time I dyed my hair, I got really insecure about it, but everyone loved it! They'll love your hair too." He said and we then did his hair.
