Welcome to L.A.

When black turns purple

---Back to Amy's POV---

I don't know where I am. The boys and Maddy are around me as well as strangers... As tiredness leaves me, I manage to identify the place. It looks like a hair salon. Why do I always end up to be the center of attention every time I fall asleep?! Seeing them all crowded like that means that something's happened again. I'm on a styling chair and the mirror's hidden by a black sheet. Wait... Is it because...

No way!! It is! The sheet has just fallen and I can see... I can see what happened. I'm shocked. Hands on my mouth, I'm looking at my best friend who's smiling at me next to Dan's camera and Ashes applause.

"Mad's, I can't believe it! Why... how is it..." I'm almost crying. It was so unexpected.

"It's always been what you wanted, right?" She's proudly smiling at her work.

"Yeah, but how come didn't I wake up? Did you..."

"Yeah I made you sleep with sleeping pills."

She's so indifferent with the situation, with what she just said. Like it was totally normal! I never thought she'd do so much for me though. Honestly. My hair is... different. When I was younger, I always wanted to die my hair without bleaching it again, it never happened. I couldn't keep it long either and I was upset since I always wanted long wavy hair, but I only have something that looks like waves, so... But now! I can't believe that she set the appointment and made it happen... in my sleep...

"Stand up, turn around few times and don't forget to smile for the camera." Ash is impressed by our relationship if not a bit upset that it competes with his and Dan's.

I used to be a girl with ordinary mid lenth light fawn hair. It grew up in my nap and inherited a purple ombre hairstyle. Extensions. I have extensions. It's longer than it's never been before and the degraded starts with my original color and finishes with a dark plum brown color. I got beach waves from a curling iron and I love it!! Dan looks confused a bit, but Ash loves the look and how cool I am with this unexpected surprise. Not everyone's fund of this kind of gift... Of course, I'm paying. I don't mind at all. Back then, I never had the guts to do it since I was still living at home, before University, but now, nothing can stop me from being who I wanna be. My parents were kinda.. old fashioned and classic, so I couldn't really come back home with purple or blue hair.

Cameras have been flashing since I woke up. I'm pretty sure that people will hear about my blind makeover... Maddy and her ideas... Why am I always her victim...

"Poor Mili... always the victim, uh?"

"What?" She interrupted my thoughts. " Well... it was really unexpected. I was literally shocked!" As we walk to the car, she stops me with her arm.

"You needed a new... a fresh start. And I thought today would be perfect!" As I'm hugging her, I'm thinking about what this trip whole really is about.

"This trip... is it for..."

"You to start over as well? Well, maybe. Honestly I have no idea. You are going in England, don't even bother I know you'll be accepted, for our 10 year frendversary. You are going to be in the UK! I won't be able to tell you, show you what you're worth to me anymore... so this whole... year would've killed me if I wouldn't have been able to bring you here." So that's what all this is about? Being far away from each other? "Being far away and knowing that I won't know where you'll be in your life after. It scares me to lose you in England... you know that?" Mads's... you shouldn't be afraid. You are my best friend. "I know that being your best friend isn't only a name or a status for you, but I'm scared that you love England more..."
