Chapter fifteen (Sometimes Change Is Good )
After a long, uncomfortable silence I decided to start a conversation. "Loki," I started but he cut me off.
"I don't want to talk."
"Loki, honey, we need to. I know you don't to, but we have to." I stated.
"How about you talk and I'll listen and agree casually." He said chuckling a little.
"See, you're already laughing! Um well I'm thinking of dying my hair a different color, because I'm tired of black, so that means I need to go to the mall. Would you like to come with me?" I asked him. He looked up at me, nodded and smiled his god damn beautiful smile. I went into my room, changed, and we left. The drive to the mall was silent until Loki spoke.
"What color do you want to do?" he asked me.
"Well, for starters, I'm going to bleach it and I'll probably get some colors like blue or green for my bangs." I responded.
"I bet you are going to look quite extravagant with blonde hair."
"Why thank you Loki!" we got to the mall and went into Hot Topic. At first I could tell Loki was way out of his comfort zone, but he eventually got used to it. After looking at everything in the store I bought Manic Panic Flash Lightning Bleach and a deep blue color. We checked out and went back to my car. "Are you gonna help me do this?" I asked him jokingly.
"If you would like that then yes," Loki said. "It's not the manliest thing I have ever done but I can help you if you please."
"Thanks Loki, I'm a pro at it though so I think I got this." I said laughing. We were about halfway back to my apartment when I felt Loki entangle his hand in mine. I felt tingles rush through my body and my cheeks flush a bright crimson. "I really want to say sorry about when I smacked you, Loki, I don't know what came over me. It's just really be an eventful and stressful week for me, and then me telling all about my ability. It also doesn't help that that girl and guy decided to come to me with their problems, all I want to do is help but I just couldn't handle it."
"I am sorry for making this ruining your chance at becoming an Avenger, if you would like I could go back to Asgard and serve the rest of my sentence there." Loki suggested.
"No, of course not. I'm just struggling right now, but I'm happy someone is with me because if you weren't I'm afraid I wouldn't be here anymore." I responded quietly.
"What do you mean Aubree?" He asked his voice becoming concerned.
"I guess I'm trying to say, if you weren't here right now I don't know if I would be able to survive myself. I mean, honestly, I don't if that means you are helping me not want to kill myself or if I would have gone insane." I told him. "Let's just go do this okay? We can discuss this later." I said, pushing my emotions back like I always.
"If that is what you would like, then let's go." Loki said. When we arrived at my apartment I realized I left my key inside.
"Shit!" I mumbled to myself.
"What's wrong?" Loki asked me.
"I left my key inside and I gave my spare to my dad…. Let's go to his place. I can just do my hair over there because I also need to talk to him about some stuff." Loki nodded and right before we got in the car he stopped me.
"Would it be inappropriate to hug you?" He asked me.
"No, I kind of need a hug right now." I stated somewhat happily. He walked around to my side of the car and embraced me in a hug. Jesus his arms felt so good wrapped around my body. Wait, did I say that?
"Okay, let's go." We both got in my car and drove over to Star Towers.
