Chapter 4 - Chapter 4

The next day i called off work, with the state am in right now i don't think i can concentrate during work i would definitely mess up so i did Greg a huge favor by calling the day off

Like i said i wanted to start my life anew ,a new start for the sake of Ethan and my mom so today's gonna be a 'me' day a day i want to dedicate to myself and no one else

And the first thing on the agenda of my 'me' day was to dye my hair, it was a fading brown ,since i wanted to start anew why not dye my hair,the colour black seems to fit me besides it was Ethan's favorite hair colour

Ethan was the one who would always suggest i should dye my hair if he saw it was fading or if it didn't suit me anymore,he was too good to be true

"Don't you think the pink's fading" he said while holding strands of my hair "of course i know Its my hair"i snapped at him i didn't understand what it was with my hair i love the colour pink and besides a guy at the mall called me beautiful yesterday

"you don't have to be so salty about it and i wasn't suggesting it i was telling you"he replied firmly ,if not for the fact that he used that tone with me i most definitely would have argued with him but once he talked like that i knew he was serious and arguing with him would be pointless

"okay i will go to the salon tomorrow, what does his highness suggest i change my hair colour to" he smiled at my childish remark "black would be nice" he suggested ,no anything but black i don't understand what's his problem with black

"please anything but black i promise i will dye it black next time not just now" i begged "you know that's what you say everytime i ask you to dye it black"he was right though i didn't like my hair black it wasn't really my style and i didn't think i'd look beautiful in it

"okay after this i will dye it black i promise" i continued to beg " you promise?" he asked with a raised brow "yes i promise for real" "okay" shrugging his shoulders "try brown then" anything that's better than black is okay so without arguing i said it was okay

We went to the salon together to dye my hair brown,after it was done i looked into the mirror like i always do after i've dyed my hair and i gotta be honest the brown looked better than the pink ever was on me i should take Ethan's advice next time maybe try the black i resent.

He never got to see the black hair on me till he died if only i could go back in time i would've changed alot of things but that's now possible now is it?

If he knew i was going to dye my hair black he would definitely tease me about it, i can visualize his goofy smile which brought a small smile to my face.

I would use our good memories to give me strength to move on .Nothing has ever made me happy like the Ethan did to me and nothing has made me sad like Ethan's death,i just wish he could come back.

Instead of walking i took my car,the car Ethan bought as a birthday gift for me , it was actually a suprise the day my eye landed on the car it was such an happy moment for me , i never imagined he would buy the car for me ,this is one of my most cherished possession.

Starting the car i headed to the salon ,since it was like fifteen minutes drive i decided

to play some songs not wanting the car to be silent 'pov' by Ariana Grande was playing

Though i haven't heard the song before it was really soothing i didn't even know when i started singing along with it ,the song was a masterpiece this had to be my best song of Ariana Grande.

Not quite long i reached the salon , this was a different salon from the one i and Ethan used to go to ,i didn't want to go there it would just make me feel lonely again

"Ma'am what would you like me to do?" a brunnette girl came up to me and asked her name tag was 'Alexa' not a bad name and besides she looked nice,she had a mole on her upper lip and wasn't really tall,her eyes were hazel which made her look beautiful.

"I would like to dye my hair black please "i replied giving her a smile. "right this way ma'am" she directed me to go sit on a chair

"please don't call me ma'am just call me Stacy" i really didn't like formalities even at work i didn't like it

She smiled at me and nodded ,she really has a nice smile "am Alexa" well i already knew that but i still gave her acknowledgement.

She left and came back with the dye and immediately started to dye my hair while she was doing it i started a conversation "for how long have you been working here?"

She looked like she was pondering on her answer before saying "it should be about five to six years now" my eyes widened at that ,she giggled at my expression which i found pretty nice i really liked this girl

We continued to talk about random topics ,she was a final year college student studying history and she had an elder brother who was apparently a single father ,this also was just a side job that she liked doing ,her family was rich but she didn't want to depend on them

I told her about Ethan to which she apologised for but i just smiled and said it was nothing and besides i feel pretty good talking to her she really was a nice person

About an hour later i was done with dyeing my hair "Wow you really look beautiful Stacy" Alexa complimented to which i smiled at her i looked into the mirror and she wasn't kidding i did look beautiful and here i thought black would look awful on me ,it complimented my deep brown eyes .

This caused me to frown Ethan never got to see me in black hair, as if she was reading my mind Alexa hugged me saying " don't worry am sure he's looking down at you smiling wherever he is" this brought an actual genuine smile to my lips ,i guess i made a new friend.
