" The Butterfly Tattoo "

Chapter 4 Of Colorless 

 " The Butterfly Tattoo "

Song ~ Kygo Ft. Conrad - Firestone

So the next morning wasn't exactly how I expected it. I found myself tangled up in my bed sheets with the dress I had on yesterday and my hair all over my head in a jungle mess. But surprisingly, I am more prepared for today than I was yesterday. Yeah, I may get lost a few times but other than that I think I have the hang of things.

It wasn't until I showered really good and wash my hair when I heard loud crashing and low groaning, indicating that now Hayden was awake. She maybe had a hangover because last night after I met Dakota and Tyler, I no longer seen her and she sort of disappeared. But I have no right to be mad at her for ditching me, something probably came up, I forgive her even if she did intentionally leave me there by myself. Plus Tyler was a sweetheart by walking me to my dorm.

I slipped on a simple dark grey hoodie and a pair of skinny's and put my hair into a messy bun on top of my head. Why do I not wear my hair down often? Well if you have long tangled hair like I do, then you know my struggle and plus it puffs up after a few minutes of me straightening it so there's no point of letting it down.

I walked into the kitchen to find Hayden slowly waking up from her cramped position on the couch, her hair looked like a bird's nest and her makeup smudge a little on her eyes, making her look like a raccoon. The sight was funny but I had to hurry and get to class before I was late. So I left a note on the fridge for when she would fully be up and aware, which might be later on in the day by the looks of things.

Entering the class, I saw that silicone barbie wasn't at her seat by Tyler, but he looked very relieved that she wasn't. So I dumped my bag by the chair and plopped down next to Tyler who looked like he was happy to see me despite the slight bags under his eyes.

" What time did you turn in?" I asked him as I got out my notebook and pen. He chuckled and rubbed a hand down his face as he shook his head.

" I don't even know, but I woke up late and rushed to get here, I'm surprised I wasn't late." He replied as he rested his head on his hands which were propped up by his elbows on the table.

" Oh and I never thanked you for walking me to my dorm last night. That was very sweet of you." I smiled my charming smile as a light blush set across his face, he hid his face in his sleeves as he avoided my eyes. He was so adorable it was funny.

" Awe, you blushed. Oh, you're doing it again." I teased as his face repeatedly flashed with pink over and over again. He laughed as I started to reach over and squeeze his cheeks like my grandma would every time I went over to her house.

Our fun was ruined when the professor cleared his throat at me and Tyler, his eyes flashing with warning. We both sat up straight in our seats as quick as possible, Tyler accidentally knocked his notebook off the table and that just made me bust out laughing for some reason. Tyler followed suit, making the professor shake his head at us, a smile upon his face.

After laughing till I felt a six pack coming on, we finally settled down and got ready for today's lesson which was just taking notes on the class subject. I started to wonder where Noah could be. Even though it's not my place to worry about him, it's quite odd not seeing him today. Class was almost over and he still hadn't shown his face. Maybe he was caught up screwing some girl, silicone barbie maybe? Or maybe he had gotten drunk last night and decided to take the day off from his hangover. But wherever he is..He can stay there.

As the day went on, I got to know Tyler a bit and found that he was a total goof and a sweet heart. I couldnt walk into a class room or sit down in my seat without Tyler either opening the door for me or pushing me in my chair. I could barely even hold my own books, he even offered to carry them. But I didn't wanna seem like I couldn't do things for myself, I hated that feeling so I denied him and he made the biggest deal over it by literally pretending that he was heartbroken.

" My gawd, Tyler shut up." I laughed as we both walked on Campus, it was mid day and I was finished with most of my classes. So me and Tyler decided to go get lunch together. And right now he was currently singing Blank Space by Taylor Swift in an annoying high pitched voice.

" So hey, let's be friends. Grab your passport and my hand. I can make the bad boys good for a weekend." He sang, making people who walked past us look at him funny. I don't even think the lyrics were correct but he continued on.

" Wanna grab some pizza?" I asked Tyler as he took a mini break from his performance he put on for everyone. He was truly something else but it was fun hanging out with someone like him.

" PIZZAAAAHH!" He shouted like he was a five year old, running around in circles, failing his arms around and about. I sighed before chuckling at him. I swear I meet the most craziest people ever.

So we happily bounded over to the small pizzeria shop that was right on campus. Me and Tyler order just one big slice of pizza and shared it by splitting it down the middle. We had gotten some compliments about how such a cute couple we were, but I only shook my head at their gestures while Tyler was soaking it in, even dared to give me a messy playfully kiss on the cheek. And I ended up slapping him for getting sauce all over my face.

Today ran rather smoothly until I spotted a fuming Noah barging down the campus, a furious look upon his face as he neared the dorms. My legs tingled for me to follow him and demand answers to where he has been. Although I had to admit that he looked quite sexy being so angry.

" Alright, see you tomorrow Ty." I hugged Tyler's waist as he hugged me back, twirling me around in his arms before finally letting me go. But that wasn't the end of his assault, the little booger decided to snatch my messy bun from it's pony tail, leaving my hair falling in my face.

" Leave it down more often, you look gorgeous.' He laughed as he ran off. I groaned and ran a hand through my hair. I'll break his arm when I see him again tomorrow.

Watching as Tyler faded away into the distance I turned my attention back to where I seen Noah scurry off and headed that way. I don't know why I was being so nosy, I had seen enough scary movies about how curiosity kills the cat and that is basically what I'm doing.

Once I got to my level where my dorm is, I had seen that Noah's door to his dorm was slowly closing like he had just slammed it open. Hesitantly, I walk over to his dorm, quietly entering. His dorm was trashed, smashed glass everywhere and his couches and tables either flipped up on their sides or in some odd angle. I instantly started to regret being so concerned with him. But none the less, I continued further into his dorm.

" Noah." I called out, stepping over the glasses and debri on the floor.

I followed a clear path to a bedroom I guessed as Noah's. It too, was trashed, clothes everywhere, the broken lamp sitting in the corner on it's side and a few deep dents within the walls.

" No-"

" I think you should leave." A deep voice spoke behind me as I quickly turned to see Noah's dark figure leaned against the wall, the sunlight only lighting half his face, leaving the otherr side covered with darkness and mystery.

I went against his wishes by stepping toward him to get a better look at him. His light green eye dark and vacant; deadly. He was shirtless and he made it very hard not to eye rape him in a serious moment like this. His disheveled hair looked like he had ran his hands through it many times but it never failed to look as soft as it did. My hands itched to touch it but it didn't seem like a good idea.

" Leave Eryn." His voice grew weaker as it cracked. He put his head in his hands as he slowly slid down the wall. I quickly dropped with him, sensing how hurt he is. For some reason I had to be here for him. Yeah, I didn't know what made him this way but my soul would not let me leave him.

Then, a loud sob sounded from Noah, so heartbreaking it even made me sad to hear such things.So I did my best to soothe him by sitting close to him and rubbing his bare back in slow circles. He surprised me by collapsing his head in my lap as he cried even more. Hesitantly I ran my fingers through his hair and that seemed to calm him after a few minutes.

And that was when he told me about the butterfly tattoo..
