I'm thinking new hair. Spontaneous hair. Purple hair. That thought escalated quickly. Get these split ends cut, time for a drive to the store. Just as I was about to pull into a parking spot, my aunt called me. I immediately answered knowing that she only called when it was an emergency. "What happened to him? You are keeping him safe, right?"

"I'm tired of him, I haven't had a drink in years. Could you drive down here to come get him?" She asked back to me, I scoffed before disconnecting the call. I can not believe she called me for that.

I stepped outside, quickly huddling into the store before anyone saw me. You'd be surprised to see how far sunglasses and a hoodie gets you. I stepped into the unrecognizable shop, just one thing. A tap on my shoulder startled me, "Do you need any help?"

"Sorry, I'm still not used to things around here. Where's the hair dye?" I asked finally turning around to face a black haired- how many attractive people are around this area- boy. He smiled, showing off his straight pearly whites. "If you'll follow me, I will take you to your desired location."

I followed him around the entire store before he finally found the hair dye. He laughed- cute laugh if I may add- and turned around to face me, "Confession. I'm new too."

"I could show you around the parts that I already know of, if you'd l-" I started to say before black hair boy cut me off. "That would be amazing!"

I blushed slightly before walking backwards, "Meet me here tomorrow at nine. We'll go all over."

"Hey-" he called out. Turning around, I faced him. He had a small smile stretched across his face, "The name's Daniel."

"Skylar."

Walking back into the tour bus, I was greeted with silence. That's unusual. Zayn's head popped out from his bunk before he called Niall, Liam, and Harry. Are we having another congregation meeting? They all looked very serious though, "What?"

"Don't take this the wrong way, but I don't understand how El can be that mean. From what we've exprienced, you guys have had playful banter." Liam stated. My jaw must've hit the floor when he said that. No one in the room met my eyes, "You think that I would lie about this?"

"Why wouldn't you? Louis left you for someone else. You're thinking if you can't have him, no one can." Zayn concluded causing me to shake my head in disappointment. "That's for thinking for me, pal, but that's wrong. I told you I'm over him, and for your information, El has been harassing me. It isn't playful banter, ever heard of sarcasm?"

"Sky-" I cut Niall off with my fingers already feeling tears pool in my eyes. "Believe what you want. Someone you've known for almost two months, or some new girl that pops up from no where. It is your choice, and I am certainly not going to stand in the way of you making it!"

I shoved my way past their harsh stares before walking into the bathroom. Well it has been a change day. Might as well have one good change. As the dye was setting in, I could hear everyone's laughter from outside the door. Doesn't that hurt. They believed me literally a week ago. My phone timer went off signaling that my hair was done. Time to see the change, as I washed it out, the now purple water ran down the drain. Even through all this, I couldn't help but to be excited for the end results. I wiped my head up already loving the ombré style. Go me. I waltzed out of the bathroom dancing with myself, ignoring everybody else. At least I didn't have to listen to them anymore- headphones are an amazing thing. Louis' eyes met mine, showing a pitiful emotion. I scoffed before throwing him the middle finger. "Goodnight, assholes!"
