The Escape [ABLH]

Chapter 17

Luke and his girlfriend— eww— was walking ahead of me, while I walked behind them.

Alone.

While we were walking, I saw a girls bathroom. I took a glance at them. He's not going to notice anyway.

I quickly walked into the bathroom, and I dialed Mikey's phone number. (A/N I wish I knew his actual phone number)

It was the third ring when Michel answered.

"Hello, Mikey?"

"Hey Ems, what's up?" He said, I could picture him smiling when he talks.

"Oh, um Luke took me to the mall, and I'm in the bathroom calling you to pick me up. " I said leaving the fact that Luke is with someone.

"Wouldn't Luke be upset if I'd come to pick you up?"

"No, he doesn't know I'm in the bathroom. He thinks I'm still walking behind him. He's too busy with that Alissa girl. I thought it was just me and him, but no she had to come along. Mikey, please pick me up! —I'll let you to dye my hair!" I said pleadingly.

"Fine. Any color I want?" He asked.

"Don't push it." I said, and he huffed.

"Where am I picking you up?" Mikey asked.

"I'm in the mall where you always go to buy clothes," I said.

"Okay, see you then." He ended the call, and I popped my head out looking around if Luke was near. Though I heard faint screams to my left. So I'm going to my right.

"Alright. We're going to get you hair done," Michael said excitedly, driving up to a house that looks like someone from the government is living in.

Michael rang the bell, and a few moments later a middle aged woman opened the door.

"LOU!" Michael hugged her and then he hugged the little girl that just ran up to this 'Lou'.

I'm lost.

"Emma, this is Lou. Lou, this is Emma. She wants to get her hair dyed." Michael said pointing at me.

I waved at her.

She smiles warmly, "Well, come on in!"

We all walked in into the living room, and Lou said she will be right back.

When Lou came back, she had all these stuff that was in a bag. I figured that it was the colors.

"So, what color do you want?" Lou asks.

I looked over to Michael, who is smirking at me.

"Well," Michael said, "I really like to see her in blue, but there's purple. And again, there's green. I DONT KNOW!!!" Michele yells.

"Those are great colors! I want to have 'em all," I said.

"I can't wait to see it! " Michael said excitedly.

"What are you waiting for? Let's go!" Lou said picking the colors and walking towards the bathroom.

"After waiting forever, I finally get to see it!" I said jumping a bit.

I took off the tinfoils, and rinse my hair. After that I tried to fix it by brushing it through and drying it.

"Oh, my god. Oh, my god. Oh, my god!" I squealed.

Michael came in the bathroom, which I had left the door open.

"Is it horrible?!" Michael came in with a smile, but then faded when the color actually turns out really good.

"I love it!" I yelled.

I ran and tried to find Lou. Once I did, I engulfed her in a tight hug.

"Thank you so much! I love it!" I said excitedly.

We had to leave because it was time for Lux's nap time.

It took awhile to get to the house. When we did arrive, Luke called Michael saying that he couldn't find me, and that I wasn't answering my phone.

Michael asked Luke if he was almost home. And he said yes.

We both ran up to the front door, and Michael unlocked it with the spare key he had. We hid my shoe in the closet by the door, and ran up to the couches in front of the TV.

Michael jumped on the couch and turning on the TV whilst changing the channels. I sat there with my face on his lap; making sure that Luke can't see that it's me.
