Previously on -basement-

Before I came close to the door I checked if anyone was around.

I stuck the key in the door.

It fits..

I heard someone coming close to me.

I gulped, I shoved the key in harder and quicker.

My heart was beating, I was sweating.

Come on.

That's when I heard it.

"Mia?"

************

I turned around.

My heart dropped as I saw my aunt.

"What are you doing?" She asked.

"N-nothing." I stated quickly.

"I-um." I walked past her as I felt relieved.

I made my way to my room, somehow.

I sat on my bed and let out a big breath.

You should be more careful next time and actually not get caught.

I ignored myself.

The basement, I was so close.

I decided now was a good time to take a shower. Yes, again.

I went over to my closet, grabbed my pj's and underwear, then finally, my towel.

I checked the clock 2:30pm.

Just great.

It already felt like a long day and I was tired.

I showered quickly, then headed out into my room.

I brushed my hair and started trying new hairstyles.

I noticed my hair was long and went past my butt.

I walked towards my vanity space.

I sat on the chair and looked into the mirror.

I split my hair in half and began to wet my hair even more, even though I just showered and my hair was damp.

I soaked my hair and brushed it again.

As I brushed it, drops of water fell at the tips of my hair.

I set down my brush and opened a drawer.

I found some black pair of scissors and began to cut my hair.

I cut it until it went to my shoulders.

As I was cutting my hair, I just randomly thought of someone.

Josh.

He came up on my thoughts and I started to wonder if he was still mad. Or was he even mad to begin with?

I finished off my hair.

It didn't look bad.

It was simple.

It was just dark brown.

What if I dye my hair?

I sat on my regular desk, and I turned on the laptop.

When it was fully powered, I went on the web and started looking at images of different colors of hair.

One specific color caught my attention.

It was this dark-light Orange faded ombré color.

I shut my laptop not bothering to turn it off and went to my shoe closet.

I grabbed a random pair of shoes, put them on, and grabbed my purse.

I headed out the door, I saw Brandon and got in front of him.

"Get out-"

"Will you drive me to the store?" I asked not caring what he had to say, I grabbed his arm and led him out the door.

"Mia, no, wait why?"

"I'll explain on the way."

He shrugged his shoulders in agreement.

As we drove, we pulled up to the market and I got out.

I walked in looking for a section of hair products.

I found boxes of dye and started looking for the color I loved.

There was so many to choose.

I saw three different shades and I grabbed the one in the middle.

I saw Brandon just barley entering the market.

"Brandon." I called out to him.

He looked over in my direction.

"I'll be back." He said walking further into the store.

I waited patiently in line as the cashier helped a customer.

I looked around and counted the registers.

Fifteen registers and only one open.

Okay.

The customer was grabbing his stuff from grocery bags and putting it in his cart.

After he was done and left, I gave the dye to the cashier and he asked,

"Is this all?" He sounded so dull.

Before I could answer Brandon set down four chocolate bars, two big packets of skittles, a bag of hot Cheetos and two Gatorade.

I looked at him in surprise.

"What?" He said innocently.

I paid for the stuff and Brandon grabbed the bags.

We walked out of the store both happy, I got my hair dye and Brandon got his...food?

As Brandon drove I noticed that he was awfully quiet.

I wanted to ask what's up, but I decided against it.

When we got home I got out of the car and ran straight upstairs.

I stood in front of the bathroom mirror, I then realized I had no clue how to do this.

"Uhhh." I thought.

The only person I could think of was Brandon.

I knew this was going to be a disaster but he was the only close person I could talk to right now.

I walked out of the bathroom and went to Brandon's room.

He wasn't there.

As I walked down the stairs I ran into my aunt.

I tried to pass her but there was no avoiding it.

"Mia?"

I turned my head.

"What were you doing in front of the basement door?"

I shrugged my shoulders.

"I was um just- have you seen Brandon?"

I changed the subject.

"In Josh's room I think." She walked downstairs and I ran upstairs.

I wonder what they're doing together?

I wasn't hesitant to go to Josh's room, I was like looking for an excuse to a e him all day.

I knocked on his bedroom door.

Josh opened.

"Mia, uh." He said it in a low whisper.

"Ahem." I cleared my throat then said, "I-is Brandon here?"

"Uh he was, he just left."

"Do you know where he is?" I asked.

"No." He said offended.

"Oh okay." I responded.

I turned to leave but he grabbed my hand.

"Wait Mia."

I turned around.

I grabbed him and pulled him close, then kissed him.
