Chapter 85

When we got home my mom ordered the pizza and we all ate, watching Age of Ultron until my mom decided to take my brothers out for ice cream. I decided to stay home and clean up before heading up to my room to take a shower.

I grabbed clean clothes out of my dresser and walked into my bathroom, taking a long look at the mirror and pulling my long hair out of the pony tail I had on.

"Fuck it." I said and walked back into my room, grabbing a pair of scissors from off my desk. I went back into the bathroom, parting my hair into two and tying them with two small hair ties to where I wanted to cut.

My hair grew past my chest, almost reaching my belly button, and the hair ties now reach my collarbones. I took a deep breath in, holding the scissors in my hands and beginning to cut.

"Holy shit I'm doing it." I snickered and kept going until I was holding the tied off hair in my hands. I put it down and continued to the other side until I was free of my long hair. I cut a little bit more so it would be even and finally finished, taking a look in the mirror and smiling.

I threw away the hair and hopped in the shower, feeling my short hair in my hands and laughing. After about 30 minutes in the shower, feeling the warm water fall on my body, I stepped out and dried myself so I could change into some gray sweat shorts and a white tank top.

I grabbed the blow dryer and dried my hair so I could show off my short hair to my family when they get home.

"Nicole! We got you some mint chocolate chip!" My mom yelled and I smiled, finishing up my hair and walking downstairs. When I go to the bottom of the stairs I saw my brothers sitting at the table eating their ice cream while my mom put away mine. Once they saw me their jaws dropped and I laughed.

"You guys like?" I asked as I flipped my hair.

"How'd you do that!" My mom giggled and came over to feel my hair. "It looks beautiful!"

"Thanks mom." I smiled.

"You look great sis, why'd you do it?" Jacob asked and I shrugged.

"Needed a change and my hair was getting long." I sighed and went to grab my ice cream from the fridge, sitting down next to Hunter who had ice cream dripping from his fingers. "I think I'm going to keep it this way for a while."

"Good idea." My mom said as she combed her fingers throw my hair.

I smiled and ate a spoonful of my ice cream while we un-paused the movie and continued watching before everyone went to their rooms to get ready for bed.

I made my bed, getting underneath the covers, leaving my lamp on as I went on my laptop to check my emails. I archived a bunch of spam emails and emailed back the diner's vendors, preparing everything for the next few months.

As I scrolled through my emails I was about to delete one, but it caught my eye because it mentioned Shawn.

I sighed, clicking on it and seeing it was from one of the editors of the Daily Mail News.

Dear Miss.Ortega,

I am writing to you regarding the whole scandal between Shawn Mendes and you. I understand you both were in a relationship for a while and I do not mean to intrude, but we at the Daily Mail News wanted to hear your side of the story.

We know everything ended pretty badly, especially with the photos that were leaked to the public, and we wanted to offer you the opportunity to speak to the public and maybe Shawn Mendes himself.

Attached you will find the guidelines and legal PDFs. Our plan to publish this article is next week, so please have it before then if you choose to.
