Hockey and Curls Dont Mix

I'm Bald

Today has to be the worst day of my life, in honor of removing this damn thing growing on my brain I have to shave my hair off, simply because the cut would be along my scalp and had to be free of my hair.

I brushed my hair for almost an hour while I cried, I haven't had to cut my hair any shorter than the middle of my back ever.

I got dressed and dried my eyes, Harry is here to take me to take me over to Hunter's, where I will be sitting in a chair in his backyard while his mom shaves my head. My mom thinks I'm going to have it done at the salon. I walked down the stairs where my parents were standing with Harry, my mom was just as upset as I was about my hair but her more so since it's for a surgery.

"Ready?" Harry asked when he saw me, I nodded slowly. "As ready as I'll ever be." He nodded, giving me a small smile, he held his hand out for me to take. I took it with a small blush on my cheeks. "Are you sure you don't want one of us to go with you?" Mom asked me, I hesitated before answering, I really don't want my mom there and I don't want my dad there and grandpa wouldn't be able to handle watching to through this.

"I think I'll be alright with just having Harry. I don't want a whole audience." I sniffled, Harry wrapped his arms around me and kissed my forehead. He's so comforting. "Well, we'd better go, yeah?" Harry asked, I nodded and grabbed the door handle, pulling the door open. "Be safe." My dad called behind Harry, "I will." Harry replied. I walked down the drive way to the car, Harry opened my door like a true gentleman.

I thanked him quietly and climbed in to the car, he nodded with a small smiled and went around to climb in the other side. "We'll make it through this yeah?" I asked him before he started the car, he grabbed my hand and brought it to his lips. "Yeah, we'll make it through this. But.." He hesitated and I tensed. "Don't tense, it's nothing bad, but there's a promise I want you to make me." He said, I only nodded, I didn't want to know what he wanted me to promise him.

"If.. If you ever get overwhelmed, and you want time to yourself, I don't want you to feel like you have to have me around. I want you to tell me if you feel like you need to be alone, I've had friends that had girlfriends that felt like they didn't get time to themselves and they ended up ending things." He explained and I felt warmth flow through my chest, he's willing to do anything. "I don't want to lose the girl I love because I bugged her too much." He kissed my hand again.

I took my other one and placed it over his jaw, causing him to look at me. "H, you won't lose me, but I promise to let you know kay?" I told him, he smiled before leaning to connect our lips, no tongue just lips. "Kay, now let's go." He started the car. I felt Harry grab my hand, linking his fingers with mine on the middle counsel. We drove in a comfortable silence, my mind was racing. "Penny for your thoughts?"

I heard Harry asked me, I looked to him, we were at a stop light, waiting behind about ten cars. "I'm afraid." I said, he frowned. "Scared of what?" He asked. "Of losing my hair, of something going wrong and possibly losing my memory or something, if that were to happen I wouldn't remember you." I sniffled. Harry started to move forward before pulling off in a parking lot. "Babe, nothing like that will happen, wanna know how I know?" He asked, I frowned but nodded. "I know that won't happen because you love me too much to forget." He smiled cheekily. I smacked his arm with a small smile, he hugged me, holding me tight.

"Let's go, I want to get this done and over with." I mumbled, he nodded and pulled away with a peck to my forehead.

When we finally got to Hunter's house I was nervous. We walked up and knocked on the door. A few seconds later Hunter's mom answered the door. "Mac, hi how are you?" She said stepping aside letting us in. "Uh, as well as I can be." I answered, gripping Harry's hand, she nodded. "Well Hunter is out back, I think the sooner this is done the better." She said and I nodded, I led Harry and myself through the small house to the back door where Hunter was standing by a chair with an extension cord plugged into a razor his mom used to cut his hair. That she'd soon be using to cut mine. "Hey Mac." He said, walking over and pulling me into a friendly hug.

"Hey Hunter." I whispered into his shoulder. He pulled away soon and looked at me with a sad smile. "Don't look at me like that Hunter." I begged, feeling like I could just cry. He nodded and looked at his feet, the three of us stood in an awkward silence until Hunter's mom came outside. "Alright Mac, have a seat." She had a pair of scissors in her hand. I kept a hold of Harry's hand and walked to sit down, harry sat on the ground holding my hand, he knew this would be hard for me.

"W-what are the scissors for?" I asked. "To cut your hair down some, it's too long to just start shaving because it'll hurt." I nodded as she ran her fingers through my hair untangling it. "Ready?" She asked me, I felt tears prickle my eyes, I looked down at Harry and he gave me a reassuring smile. I nodded. "Let's get this done." I huffed, when I heard the first snip I let a tear slip down my cheek, I felt Harry's thumb wipe it away gently.

After cutting it down she picked up her razor, once it flicked on I started sobbing. I felt Harry's grip on my hand tighten. I sat still as tears blur my vision while she shaved my head.

Once it was done I got out of the chair and wiped my shirt free of the hair, I threw myself in Harry's arms and cried, he held me tightly as my tears got his jumper wet. "Sh, love." He tried soothing me. "I-I'm b-bald Harry." I sobbed, he pulled my face away from his chest and looked at me, wiping my eyes. "Darling, please don't cry I'll start crying." That's when I realized Harry's eyes were slowly filling with unshed tears. "Please don't leave me because I'm bald Harry." I sobbed, that's when his tears started flowing. "I love you, whether you have hair past your knees or bald. I love you and I'll be here for you every step of the way." He hugged me again.

"I love you too."
