When I next wake up the first thing I notice is that I am very cold, the next thing I notice is that I am alone in the guest bed of my house. Sitting up I start looking around the room, in a way hoping for Ashton to be here in another part of me hopes that he really left.
“Looking for Ashton? He left earlier,” a voice speaks up from the corner of the room.
“Jeez Mikey, what the hell are you doing here?” I exclaim, grabbing my chest from surprise. I see him smirk as he walks towards me and sits on the edge of the bed.
“Well you missed the last day of school before Christmas break, and I need to dye my hair again so I just came over. But, think of my surprise when I walk up your steps about to knock on your door when Ashton walks out, walks out with might I say something that looks like sex hair,” he grins, knowing that he is teasing me.
“We didn’t have sex,” I groan, highly embarrassed.
“Well you may have to explain to me what is going on because you know I haven’t heard from you in the past few days, and last I heard you were scared Ashton was a murderer, so why was he in your house?” he asks, his tone instantly becoming serious.
“I don’t think Ashton murdered Luke’s sister. I think he was there, but I don’t think he did it,” I shrug, not needing to go into all of the details of the past weekend. “Wait, did you say it’s Christmas break?” I ask, just now realizing what Mikey said a few minutes earlier.
“Yeah, no more school for two weeks,” he grins, obviously excited. I didn’t even realize Christmas was coming up soon. I knew that we had pretty much finished all of our final exams, but I didn’t even think about the break.
“Wow,” I mutter, thinking about what I am going to do for the next two weeks, probably just sit alone and watch ‘Supernatural’. “So did Ashton tell you why he was leaving?” I ask, not upset at the fact that Ashton left but just confused as to why he left without saying goodbye.
“He said he had to go do something, that there was something he really needed to do but he needed to figure out how to do it,” Mikey answers, “I don’t know what the heck he was talking about but he just kept mumbling about needing to do something, so I let him go,” he shrugs.
I think back to last night when Ashton was going to leave before I asked him to stay. He said he needed to do something then too. Is it the same thing he left this morning to go do? What is this secret thing Ashton needs to do, you would think after everything that has happened Ashton wouldn’t want to keep secrets anymore.
“So what color are we dying your hair today?” I ask after a few minutes of pondering what Ashton is doing, finally pushing the covers off of me and deciding to get out of bed for the first time in two days.
“Orange,” he grins, showing me the box. I take the box as I nod my head and walk towards the guest bathroom with Mikey following me. He quickly starts his routine of washing his hair while I start mixing the dye.
“So what will Luke think of you hanging out with his enemy?” Michael laughs. Just hearing Luke’s name makes me cringe and I remember that I haven’t told Mikey we’ve broke up yet.
“Luke broke up with me,” I murmur, not looking over at the tub but instead keeping my eyes focused on the bowl of dye in my hand.
“Oh Ellie, I’m so sorry. What happened?” Michael answers, walking over and wrapping me in his arms.
“He just didn’t give Ashton a chance and pretty much said I was stupid for listening to Ash’s story,” I shrug, all of it kind of a blur now anyways.
