"Zane come on I don't want to be in there alone I have social anxiety and don't like people." I groan trying to pull him out of the car after we parked at the salon. Reluctantly he gets out following me inside. At the front desk is a girl in her early twenties with ombre mint green to pastel pink shoulder length straight hair
"hey I'm Melanie how can I help you two today?" She says with I smile on her black painted lips, I give zane a look to say please talk and he steps in straight away
"Hey channing here would like to get her hair cut and dyed."
"Okay well sweetheart just follow me and we will get started." Following her she gestures for me to sit in a plush black chair gladly I abide and sit laying my arms wrist up on my thighs, looking up I see her giving me a look of sympathy
"Melanie I don't like pity or sympathy my cuts aren't that big of a deal." I mumble looking back down
"Channing do I know you from somewhere? Oh yes that's it do you have an older brother James?" She asks looking all excited
"Um yeah why?" I question getting a bit freaked out
"James used to date my twin brother Charlie." She smiles "okay now channing what would you like me to do with your hair?" Showing her a picture she nods and gets to work.
After two hours of bleaching dying and cutting, my hair is finally finished. Looking in the mirror all I can do is grin and touch it (picture on side is what her face and hair looks like now)
"This is amazing thank you so much!" I squeal giving her a hug
"That's alright doll hey maybe you me and our brothers can catch up sometime, I'll give you my number" she says grabbing a pen from the desk and writing the number on my hand "okay well bye channing it was good seeing you." She says giving me one last hug before me and zane leave.
"So what do you think zane?" I ask looking up at him.
*Zane's P.O.V*
While channing gets her hair cut I sit on my phone, two hours later I look up to see a girl with short blonde hair hugging the hairdresser. The blonde turns around and faces me I see it is Channing and all I can stare. I'm pulled out of my trance by channing tugging my sleeve
"So what do you think zane?" She asks looking up at me
"Y-you look a-amazing" I stutter. I taking her hand I lead her out to the car, once we are belted in I realize I don't know where we are going next "so channing where next because I was thinking we get lunch." She stiffens in her seat at the thought of food
"I'm not hungry but we could go we mum at work I need to apologize I was a real bitch this morning." I states
"Okay we will get some food then we can to see your mum and take some lunch to her. How about subway for lunch or burger fuel?" I ask wantING her to eat
"Subway" she whispers.
Starting the car I drive outo of the car park and head off the the closest subway to the primary school. We get food much to Channings dismay and drive to the primary school. Getting out we carry the bag to the office and walk in seeing Carrie at the front desk we walk up to her
"Zane where the hell is channing and who is this." She whispers giving me an accusing look.
*Channings P.O.V*
"Hey mum." I whisper giving her a small wave. A look of confusion washes over her as she gets up and walks around her desk "channing you look so different. Wait why did you do it."
"Lewis thought I looked better blonde and I thought if I'm going to get better I should change myself." I smile giving her a hug. Mum grabs my handson and looks at my wrists
"Channing why?" She says as a silent tear rolls down her cheek
" I-i s-scratched them in th-the sh-shower and w-when we got to th-therapy I was nervous and angry and scared. I'm sorry mummy" I sob pulling her into a hug
"Aw sweetie it's alright you want to get better and right now that's the most I could ask for." She says hugging me back "now what are you two doing here?"
"Zane got food." I grimace "and I wanted to have lunch with you."
"Oh okay well let's go eat in the break room." Mum says leading us into the break room. Sitting down we get the food out of the bag and zane and mum begin eating. "Please Channing. For me" mum pleads, glaring I pick up my food and start taking small slow bites in between sips of water. Half an hour later I've finished half of my sub and mum has to go back to work.
"Okay well I see you at home mum." I say giving her a hug
"Yeah see ya and can you two pick up Donnie from school?" She asks hugging back
"Yeah sure thing bye mum." I say taking Zane's hand and leading him back out to his car. "Okay we have three hours till we have to pick up Donnie what do you want to do?"
"Well we could go to the mall" Zane answers
"Sure but I need to go home and change."
