"Frankie, Josh! I'm going out to the store! Ill be back by 5pm!" Shouted my mother.
Finally, some peace and quiet.
~~|~~
"One moment, Frank." Whispered Josh as he pulled out his phone and began texting someone.
"What's going on, Josh?" I asked, smiling at the mystery of it all.
"I'm inviting Tyler." He said back.
"You going to make out with your boyfriend in front of the family?" I joked.
He laughed back, putting his phone in his pocket.
"I mean we could. But no, we're not doing that... I have something better in mind."
I felt myself grow more and more excited. "Tell me!"
Josh shook his head, "Nope."
"Aww come on!" I begged.
"Nope, sorry." He said, grinning a little.
I crossed my arms and groaned. "Fine."
He petted the top of my beanie and laughed, "You'll be happy with it, don't worry."

Tyler arrived at about 10am.
He snuck through the halls and into Josh's room unnoticed.
"Hi Tyler." I said, smiling.
"Oh. Hi Frank." He said back.
I began screaming internally from excitement in hearing that name.
"So... What's going on?" I asked, after I had calmed myself down.
Josh grinned and gently took off my beanie, causing all of my hair to fall over my shoulders.
"Frank... Tyler and I are going to cut your hair."
I stumbled back a little, shocked by the words I just heard.
"Wh-what really?!" I squealed, not caring about how high my voice became.
Josh nodded and pulled me into a hug. I felt myself begin to cry. This was it. This was the day I was going to come out to my family.

Tyler had managed to pull a cool, spinning chair into the center of Josh's room.
He seated me down on it and pulled out a hair tie and scissors.
I bit my lip to try to keep my excitement under control.
I couldn't believe it... This was really happening.
Tyler quickly tied up all my hair and hovered the scissors over it.
"Are you ready, Frank?" He asked.
"YES!" I cried.
And then I heard it... The oh so satisfying sound of the scissor-blades slicing through my hair.
In a few snips I felt the hair drop to the floor.
I was frozen in shock.
I reached my hands up to feel the hair on my shoulders, but it was gone.
I felt myself tear up from happiness.
"Josh..." I said quietly, trying to hold back my tears.
He leaned down to me and hugged me tightly.
"I know Frank... I know." He whispered.
Tyler then put down the scissors and pulled out an electric razor.
"We're going to shave the sides on I think the 6th setting, and then leave your fringe kind of long. It'll resemble a Mohawk." Said Tyler.
I nodded eagerly, "Please!"
"As you wish!" Tyler replied, giggling a little.

The feeling of the machine sliding up the sides of my head, and seeing Josh's reaction as the hair fell to the floor was amazing...
This was really happening...
~~|~~
"Frank... It is done."
Hearing those words from Tyler was all that I ever wanted.
I slowly got up and walked to Josh's mirror.
Tyler and Josh waited on his bed.
"Oh my god..." Is all I could say.
"I look... Oh my god." I put my hands through my hair, feeling every inch of it.
I walked back towards them, still stunned.
"I'm going to do it today..." I said.
Tyler and Josh looked at each other briefly, before returning their gaze to me.
"Do what?" Josh whispered.
"I'm going to come out to the family." I said confidently.
"Are you sure you're ready?" Tyler said, smiling lovingly.
"Oh I'm there, baby."

It was about 4pm when I got up and continued to work on my appearance.
I added a red tie and a studded belt to my outfit... Wow Josh was an emo motherfucker.
~~|~~
Today is the day it all happens.
