"Wow." AJ beamed as I stood up from the hairdressers chair.

"What do you think?" I asked as I posed like a model.

"You look amazing." AJ answered as his smile widened.

"Gorgeous." Skylar added.

"I feel like a new person." I giggled. We paid the hairdresser and left.

"Hungry?" AJ asked.

"Yeah, you?" Skylar asked me.

"Yes." I answered as we got into the car.

"Are you doing this for yourself, Small Fry?" AJ asked.

"Why wouldn't I?" I asked giggling.

"Or is this another way to annoy Nick?" AJ asked.

"I'm not doing this to spite him. I asked how he felt about me cutting and dying my hair and he doesn't mind it." I answered.

"Good because I don't know if you're still arguing anymore. You two talk until a certain time period. You seem civil but he still sleeps on the couch." AJ said.

"We are trying to give everyone else less stress that's why we aren't screaming at each other." I replied.

"To be honest you're not." AJ responded.

"How so?" I asked.

"You two are cute together. We are all rooting for you. I think everyone is scared you'll break up and everyone will have to choose a side and ruin friendships and possibly other romantic relationships." AJ answered.

"Yes we're in a rocky place in our relationship but I can't keep focusing on it and neither should he." I said.

"Maybe you guys should talk." Skylar suggested.

"Why, so he can lie to me again?" I asked.

"He didn't mean to lie--I think he tried being supportive but his insecurity got the best of him." AJ replied.

"I just need some space from him... that's all. He can cool off and so can I." I mumbled.

"We just don't want to see you guys hurt." Skylar said.

"I miss him." I whispered as a tear fell on my face.

"Then talk to him." AJ insisted.

"What if he lies again?" I asked.

"What if he is honest this time?" Skylar encouraged.

"What should I do?" I asked.

"Give him a chance." Skylar answered.

"Right." AJ agreed.

"AJ and I fought a bunch of times." Skylar mentioned.

"You have?" I cried.

"Sure we have. But we talk it out and move forward." Skylar answered.

"We're not a perfect couple. No couple is. Society made up that term." AJ chuckled.

"You're right... I should talk to him." I agreed.

"But we should eat first." AJ laughed.

"Yeah." Skylar and I both agreed at the same time. Then we burst into laughter.
