A Broken Image

The Change

-DJ's POV-

I was talking with the girls for a bit longer, and we ate a bit, waiting for Emma to get back, but it was late and she hasn't gotten home, so the girls left, and I ordered some pizza, knowing that Emma would be hungry.

When she finally got home, it was really late, and she was holding her side, and has a nervous yet happy look on her face, and it sorta confused me.

She would occasionally say "Hey DJ, umm.. Oh wait, I forgot", and then move onto what she was just doing, as if she is trying to tell me something, but scared to.

It came to the time where we would head to sleep, 12:00 as usual, and when she changed and hopped into the bed (not trying to sound sexual or anything XP) I heard crinkling, and she kept repositioning her self, and it just made more noises, and an occasional "Ow" under her breath when she moved.

The night was sleepless, or at least for me, because that stupid crinkling wouldn't shut up! So I stared at the ceiling trying to fall asleep.

-Later-

When I woke up, I went to the Kitchen, and as I walked in, I saw that Emma was already up. And I started to think why....

"Hey Emma..." I started

"Oh hey, um... You're up early." Emma said in reply.

"So are you, heh heh."

And we kept going on with this for quite a while, not really knowing what to say. But finally she asked something.

"So DJ... I've been thinking, and I think we need a new start. A new life, new identities..." Emma Said, looking between my eyes, and the floor, seeming unsure of herself.

"Sounds meta, what do you have in mind?" I said, and I thought... What could I possibly do to get a new identity.

"We could dye our hair, maybe get some piercings. New outfits?" She said, already looking up places to do it.

"Hell yeah! That's lit! I'm down! I said, grabbing my phone quickly also, and we were finding places to get our hair and piercings done.

We found the places and we got in my car, and left. We did hair first, just for the heck of it.

My hair color had changed to a red, that lit up my face, more than that brown would ever do, and got a it styled so my hair on the right was shaved, having the remainder, drifting over to the other side. I looked into the he mirror at the end and was just amazed, and it was worth the several hours.

Her hair was dyed black, and it was shaved on the side, almost the same look as mine, but her hair was a bit curly.

After we finished we got some piercings. But I couldn't decide.

I ended up getting a nose ring, and a tongue piercing, along with a lip piercing, and it kinda hurt, but it was manageable.

Emma got a lip piercing, and a tongue piercing, to go with the cartilage piercing and normal ear piercing that she already had.

We quickly headed to Hot Topic, as it was getting quite late, and grabbed some clothes.

I decided to wear jeans for a change, having ripped and frayed spots here and there, along with leggings... Stuff tighter than my lovable sweatpants. Along with the pants, I grabbed some sweaters, that were black, white, and red, hoping that it would look nice. While I was in the isle, I grabbed graphic tees along with some geeky shirts...

Emma did just about the same, but she usually wore jeans and leggings, so she mainly just grabbed a sweater like mine, white and black, along with graphic tees and band shirts.

After we were sorta low on money, but we didn't really worry about it. We just went back to the apartment to calm down for a bit.

Right away we both headed to the bathroom, and we both stared at ourselves, looking at the new us's. It was so surreal...

I looked to the side, and just stared at Emma... What had we become? Was this the new us?
