Color

Chapter 3

Emma's POV

*4 weeks later*

Ashton and I were dating now and I couldn't be any happier. He was the best guy I could ever ask for and he made me happy, which I never was before. I now knew what Michael meant by how beautiful the world was. Color made life beautiful.

Speaking of Michael, his life has been spiraling down fast. His beautiful blue eyes has lost the ability to see the world in color. He won't let me see him and I'm so worried about him. His mom tells me that he spends his days in his room, crying and listening to music. I wanted to help him somehow but he wouldn't let me. He wouldn't let me near him.

Ashton wasn't aloud near him either, that's what led me to believe that all of this was somehow our fault, I didn't want to say anything though. Mikey would come around soon enough, he couldn't stay mad at me forever. We were best friends after all.

Tonight I had a date with Ashton, so the alarm I set to remind me to get ready snapped me out of my thoughts. He told me we were going somewhere nice for dinner, so I figured I would wear a dress. Before picking it out, I hopped in the shower. After drying myself off I went to my closet and picked out a black strapless dress that stopped just above my knee. I grabbed some black flats simply because I liked the idea of Ashton being taller than me.

Ashton arrived at my house around 5:00PM and I opened the door, greeting him with a hug. "Hey Baby..." I smiled happily as he kissed my cheek. "Hello beautiful, you look fantastic tonight." He says with a smile. I blush a little and smile "Thank you, you don't look to bad yourself" I giggle, pecking his cheek and taking his hand. He leads me out to his car and opens the door for me.

Fifteen minutes later we arrive at the restaurant. Ashton leads me inside and to a back room, with one single table and fairy lights dangling from the ceiling. The scene looked like something from a fairy tail. "Oh my god... Ash.. How did you?" I mumbled, looking around amazed.

After a half an hour of talking, our food came. I took a bite of pasta and smiled to myself "Ashton, you didn't have to do all this.. It's perfect." I smiled. He looked over at me with a grin. "Well, you've been so upset about Mikey lately.. I wanted to try and cheer you up." He said, smiling softly.

"Since you brought him up.. I've been thinking about something..." I said quietly, not sure about how Ashton was going to react. He probably going to be fine with it, but I wasn't sure. "What is it babe?" He asks.

"Well... Mikey always used to see in color.. And he used to be happy.. As soon as we see color and start dating and being happy, he sees in black and white, and now he's depressed. I think we have something to do with it.. Maybe it has something with us. I always thought about why people saw in color.. And maybe it was when they saw their soul mate, they saw in color. We're each other's soul mates.. But maybe I'm his."
