But what happen's when...
"Sooo whats the first thing you wanna do?" My mom asked as she drove around the island we were staying on.
My leg was still in a cast and I couldn't stand on it too long or walk on it without my crutches so there wasn't much I could do.
" I wanna go cut my hair " I blurted it with no emotion.
" cut your hair ? All of it ?" She asked taking quick glances at me and the road .
" i don't know .. maybe."
She stayed silent as she just kept on driving. We arrive at a salon in about 20 min. She helped me out the car as I grabbed my crutches and walked to the door of the shop.
It was a very small salon and a little cramped but it was gonna have to do .
" Ou can mi help yuh?" The lady asked as she walked out to me whippinn her hands on her apron.
" I wanted a big chop" I said as I did the hand motion to my hair.
"Dats aal?" She asked
" and more color "
She nodded as she pointed to a chair near the sink .
" Ok cum sidung"
I followed her orders as my mom sat in the chair near the door and started flipping through magazines .
