It's Rough All Over

Chapter 6

Johnny and I arrived at this old abandoned church early in the morning. It was dusty and obviously hadn't been used in a long time. It was on top of a hill, the grass overgrown and went up to my knees.

"Okay so our descriptions will be in the paper. So we just can't fit them right?" I said, sitting down on the hard wooden ground.

"Right, give me your switchblade." Johnny mumbled.

My eyebrows raised, but I handed it to him. "What happened to yours?" I asked.

"I stabbed someone, remember?" He muttered, flicking out the blade.

"Ugh sorry, I haven't slept for 3 days. Two-Bit keeps me up all night drinking." I gave Johnny a curious glance, looking from his face to the blade.

"It's all right. I need to cut your hair." He sighed, sitting next to her.

"Okay." I wasn't happy about it but it would grow back.

"We should go into town after, use that money Dal gave us." I sighed, turning my back to Johnny.

"Only one of us should, seeing us together is going to make us stand out." He said, starting to saw her hair off, trying to be careful.

"I can. I'll try to pick up a book or something as well." It hurt slightly but I stayed silent.

"Ok, don't worry you can cut my hair after." He chuckled.

I smiled softly. "You could probably use a hair cut anyway." I teased lightly.

"So could you! Your hair is so long!" He teased back.

I laughed softly. "Yeah well try not to make it too short. I've had it long my whole life." I teased.

"About that, it's about up to your collar bone." He chuckled nervously.

I groaned. "I'm going to look bad." "Wait how much did you cut off?" My eyebrows raised.

"Maybe.. 7 inches." He mumbled.

"How about bangs?" He snickered.

"Seriously?" I asked. "Ughhhh."

"Yeah." He shrugged.

"Don't worry about it. It will grow back." I tried to make him feel better.

"Ok, you can cut my hair now. Get your jollies." He sighed, handing me the blade.

I smiles. "This will be so fun." I joked.

"Yeah yeah." He mumbled "not to short."

I cut his hair, trying to be soft and gentle.

"Should have said that to you." I rolled my eyes.

He chuckled but was cut off by his hair being sawed at.

"Dammn." He whined.

"Sorry. I'm almost done." I saw a small vial in his hand. "What's that for?" I asked.

"You gotta bleach your hair. I can't I'm to dark skinned to look good with it" he said.

"What makes you think I will?" I asked, glancing at him as I finished up cutting his hair.

"You will look good with anything" he chuckled.

I laughed softly. "Pfft. Ya right." I rolled my eyes. "Almost done."

"Finally." Johnny whined.
