For a second, nobody moved.
Even Vanessa looked shocked.
Then she did it again.
Another section.
I screamed.
The door rattled outside.
Security.
Someone shouted.
I pushed Vanessa away.
She stumbled.
The door opened seconds later when security overrode the lock.
Two guards entered.
Then Owen.
Then Adrian.
I stood in front of the mirror.
My hair was destroyed.
Uneven chunks.
One side near my jaw.
Another section close to the scalp.
The rest hanging strangely.
Vanessa held the scissors.
One guard took them immediately.
Adrian stared.
“Claire.”
Then he looked at Vanessa.
“What the hell were you thinking?”
