~Heather's P.O.V. ~

We went to Hot Topic 1st. I didn't even know this store existed!! Mason got me A LOT of T-shirts all with names of random bands, songs, and people I didn't know. For example 'Make it Rain' what's that? All the shirts felt skin tight. Mason wouldn't let me have a mirror so he, himself, was the judge. While we were there he got me a bunch of belts with designs and some kind of metal stud thingers. Then he took me to some other stores I didn't know, and we got me skinny jeans; I hate skinny jeans! But at least there were a variety of them. We got ripped ones, patch ones, and colored ones. Next we went to a shoe store of some sort. And he bought me 'Vans' and 'Converse' I didn't even know those brands but, Ok. He took me into Victoria's Secret too!! Where I got lost...

"Mason! Where are you?"

"Over here!!"

"Where??"

"HERE!!"

"I CAN'T FIND YOU!!"

He didn't reply and I got scared. Then he came out of nowhere and handed me a bag. "Already bought it." he winked at me. What did he get?!? I looked inside the bag... he got some lacy bras and thongs. EWW WHY? "Mase I'm not really going to-" "Don't say it! You're going to dress like that on the outside, why not inside?" "Hehe.... That sounds funny- do you want me dress like that in the inside, or something?" I teased. He turned red and looked away. "Just wear it Heth..." he murmured. "Hahaha, ok..." I laughed. "So where to??" he changed topics? Hehe... I embarrassed Mason. "Um... how about hair and make-up? Or we can get me contacts?" We were walking around now just looking for the right store to come along. "You want to get rid of your glasses?" He asked. "Well yeah, I hate these things." I mumbled. "Really? I think they're kind of... Cute." He put an arm around my shoulder. "Yes, well, I doubt Aaron thinks that.... And I don't like them either." I said putting an arm around his shoulder too. "Right... Aaron." He mumbled. What's his problem? "So... hair??"

We loaded onto his white truck and took off. We stopped at some hair salon. "Sit." He told me. I did. He walked to the counter and started talking animatedly. They spoke. Then some man came from around the back. The man was black with a shaved head. He wore a white apron around his waist, with 'Ellery Hair Salon' stitched on in red cursive words. He was tall, and wearing a fitted black V-neck and tight jeans. Mason pointed at me and said something. The man shook his head and looked at Mase. Mase said something else that made the man fall on his knees and beg. What are they saying?? Mason rolled his eyes and said something else. The man got off the floor and dusted himself off. He nodded his head and they both came my way. "I'm Jimmy." The man said. And he sticked his hand out for a hand-shake. His hand was SOFT!!!! He kind of smelled like Jasmine too... "I promise..." said Mase. A promise????? WHAT!?!?

Soon I was sitting in a white egg chair. The man, now known as Jimmy, looked at my hair. He shook his head. "No..." he turned my chair just slightly and examined my split ends. "No..." then he turned me around so I was looking in a mirror and he was behind me. "No... I can't do, it. There's no hope. It's horrible. It's not going to work. It's ruined. Flat. Greasy. Split. Dead... must I continue?" He counted on his fingers. "Can't do it, honey, sorry. I quit." He said examining his perfectly manicured nails. "Jimmy, we're begging you! Please!!" ask Mason. Was my hair THAT bad?? "UGH! Ok then! Make SURE you tell your mom I want a discount next time I come in." He ordered. "I will, I already promised you." Oh.... That promise, good as long as it didn't involve me!

Jimmy snatched at a bottle of shampoo and conditioner. "Come on honey, were going toward the sink. Lord knows you need it!" I took a glance at Mason in nervousness just before I sat down in the cold green leather seat. "M-Kay sweetheart, I'm gonna have to completely remodel this... Cause THIS," He said, waving a finger at my supposedly dreadful hair. "... Ain't working!" He then pursed his lips in a funny looking way. I've seen something like that before. Like those girls in Facebook pictures with the bathroom as their background. He went around the wall to talk to Mason. I guess I don't get a say in what I want? Mason and Jimmy were behind what I'm guessing was a sound-proof glass wall or something because I could see, but I couldn't hear anything. Mason pretended he had hair and made gestures about how he thought it should look. Jimmy just sat there and nodded. Occasionally he would make a different gesture to Mase or shake his head. I turned away there was no point in staring if I couldn't read lips well. Plus it's rude to stare.

Then, it began. Jimmy started with washing it. Later he blow dried and snipped... and snipped.... And snipped. I was scared I wouldn't have any hair when he was finished. "Jimmy, the shaved look is good on you... I don't think I'll like it on me though." I said. I WAS NOT GOING TO BALD!!! "Shut up sweetheart. I'm in the zone." He said calmly. That shut me up. Later he got some foil. Why foil?? What's he going to do to me?? Foil DOESN'T go in hair!!! The air started to smell funny. And he folded the silver material... OMG IT WAS STUCK TO MY HAIR!? OK... ok.... Ok, calm down heather he knows what he's doing. He sat me down on some weird looking device with like a helmet attached to it. I sat there for a long time with hot air being blown on my head. I hope they aren't brain washing me...

~Aaron's P.O.V. ~ (Back to when he barely dropped Heather off)

I drove away from Heather's house. She was so different than I expected. Every time I thought of her another little fantasy would go to my head. WAIT!! Isn't it supposed to be her with the fantasies?? What's wrong with me?? I do kind of wonder where Mason was... I mean I thought he would be there quicker than usual because of the text I had sent him. But he just took his sweet time. If only, if only, he had gotten there when she was going to kiss me. I thought bitterly. I HATE THE GUY. He interfered with what I want and anyone who does that is dead in my eyes. Not only that, but he beats Heather up!! WHY!? She's so nice... and hot... wait hot?? Whatever. But still she's innocent... I think. Well... she's kind... I guess. WOW... I really don't know her AT ALL... that's surprising.

But then... why do I care so much about her? Out of nowhere too... ok I'm calling a guys night. Yeah... that's exactly what I need. I called over my friends: Jeremy, and Chris. They had been away on vacation. I was beginning to miss my brothers. They're way better than my blood bro. I hate Keith... I was supposed to go on vacation with them. But I decided against it... WHY?? I don't even remember what was going through my mind at the time. Why did I stay?? Oh well too late now anyway. I thought as I pulled up to my drive way. Keith was on the couch. "Hey." "Hey." That was about all we ever said now. I went upstairs and texted Jeremy and Chris.

'Meet me at Temptations at 4:30 I need some help... FAST' Me

'Ok' Chris

'Sure' Jeremy

~Heather's P.O.V. ~

Mason and I were in my room now. My dad and I had just had our talk... now mason was trying to comfort me. In a nutshell, our conversation went like this:

1)Dad trying to explain

2)Me not listening

3)Dad getting annoyed

4)Me yelling at him

5)Dad yelling back even louder

6)Me crying and running away to my room

All through this Mason was waiting patiently in my room. When I got there he didn't even ask what was wrong. Just held onto me and let me sob on his chest while my dad was trying to break down my door... "HEATHER!! LET ME IN NOW!!!" I just cried even louder and held Mase closer. "Shhh... it's going to be ok Heth, it's going to be ok...." Mason muttered into my hair. "HEATHER!!! I SAID NOW!!!! IF YOU DON'T LET ME IN I WILL BEAT DOWN THIS DOOR!!" you might be wondering why he's so mad... well you see I kind of said things... along the lines of 'you're the worst father in the world' and 'I bet mom hates you now, I bet she's looking down from heaven wishing you were a better person' oh and 'I hate you, burn in Hades' I know it was harsh but it was all his fault this had happened. ALL OF IT! His fault mom died! If dad wouldn't have left mom alone... she might be alive...
