Alex' P.O.V
"Oh my god" I chuckled as I was staring at my reflection, observing my new blue hair.
"Isn't it beautiful?" Michael chirped very proud of his work.
"It is" I turned around to face the guy and we ended up being awfully close. All the giggles that filled the room seconds ago was replaced with silence and tension. "Thank you"i leaned back and placed my hands on the edge of the bathroom sink.
"You're beautiful" michael said as he leaned forward and placed both hands on the sink as well and started to observe my face. I wanted to move or do something but I was frozen, I was so taken away by his bright green eyes.
My phone rang in my bag causing both of us to jump.
"Jesus christ." I put my hand on my chest. I grabbed my phone from my bag, it was ashton. I looked at michael who was casually putting everything back in place so I left the bathroom and stood in the hall.
"What do you want?" I said after picking up the phone.
"Woah there, am I interrupting something?" Ashton spoke.
"No..well maybe"
"Are you with michael?"
"Yea" I blushed.
"Well speaking of the devil, I think you should see this. Do you think we could meet up? I mean after you're done of course."
"Sure, I think I'm heading now by the way, I don't want carmen to get worried. I'll call you when I'm home tho"
"Okay, I'm waiting for your call, bye." And he hung up.
"Sorry" I breathed out and smiled at the boy. When he finished organizing his stuff he took a glance at his phone and saw that it was time for me to go.
"It's almost 8, we should take you home." He smiled then we headed out the door.

"What was the thing you wanted me to see?" I said as I walked to the kitchen.
Ashton raised an eyebrow causing me to cringe at his immaturity.
"My god, ashton" I said burying my face in the palm of my hands.
"I'm sorry, okay." He cleaned his throat and placed a giant book on the table that read "Immortals".
"What's that?" I tilted my head to the side. He looked at me deep in the eyes before opening the book to a page he apparently marked.
"I've seen this before" I furrowed my eyebrows In concentration.
"Of course you have, it's Michael's tattoo" he paused then continued "and calum's too"
"And you are implying that..?"
"I don't know" he sighed. What is he even thinking? Is he sick?
"You have a big imagination ash" I tapped him twice on the shoulder.
"Why would they have the immortality symbol inked to their skin tho?" Ashton frowned.
"I don't know maybe they were too obsessed with a show or something."
"Alex they've been my friends for over 4 years now I'm sure i know them pretty well-"
"If you know them pretty well then why do you think that they're-" I couldn't say it. It's just weird and impossible. Ashton's grip tightened on his hair. I walked closer and removed his hands from his hair.
"You're making a huge deal out of this"
We just sat on the kitchen table not saying anything.
"Wanna go for a walk?" I ask hoping he would say yes because I wanted him to forget about it.
"It's close to midnight" he said finally looking at me.
"I like late night walks." I smiled. "Let's go"

"I still can't believe you have blue hair now." Luke said from across the lunch table we were seated on.
"And that, is because of mister Michael Gordon clifford. And as you can see, he did a pretty great job" I smirked and in the corner of my eyes I could see michael hiding his face and giggling.
"It looks great. But my dumbass of a bestfriend didn't put gloves on so now he looks like he killed a smurf"
"Thank you people, I am proud of myself, but I'm pissed because you just said my middle out loud." He said the last part with more seriousness in his voice.
"What gordon?" I pretended I didn't hear what he said.
"Don't talk to me"
We all started laughing and lunch went pretty well.

When I went back home I saw the "immortals" book laying still on the kitchen table, so I just grabbed it headed upstairs. After thinking I decided to read it, just for fun.
Or at least that's what I thought.

So I made a mistake in the chapter "that's the normal life you wanted?" And I wrote that alex has been waiting for an answer about her parents death for 4 years, when it's actually 8 years. I fixed it now, and I hope you're not confused. <3
