Tumblr media
While hiding in the bathroom during her lunch period, YN removed her hood from her head. She stared at her hair that was wrapped in a bun on top of her head.
She took a breath and took out the clip from her hair, letting her long locks fall down past her shoulders to her tail bone.
YN closed her eyes for a moment before opening them and staring at her reflection in the mirror.
And tears almost instantly filled her eyes.
For as long as she could remember, she had long hair. And the only reason she had never cut it was her father.
Jensen had always and will always see YN as his little girl, his first born, his baby. And no matter how old she gets, Jensen's views of her will not change.
Which sucked as a high schooler when image was everything.
And right now, YN hated the image she saw in the mirror.
She had tried so many different hairstyles, from straightening and scrunching to braids and buns, but nothing really fit. Her hair was just too long to manage.
It surely didn't help with her shyness either. YN had been shy for the past 3 years, not really talking in school, keeping to herself, and not having friends to hang out with.
So she used her hair to hide herself during school days. She'd sit in the back of the class, not answer any questions, and not sit near anyone during lunch.
Most of the time, she'd just go into the bathroom during lunch and wait it out.
She wiped her eyes and tossed her hair back into a bun on top of her head before covering it with her hood. After one last look in the mirror, she turned and walked out of the bathroom just in time for the bell to ring for lunch to be over.
YN went on with the rest of her day and when school was over, she waited outside for Danneel. She stood by a tree in the front while other students were hanging out and talking with their friends.
A horn honking startled YN out of her thoughts. When she looked up, she saw Danneel sitting in her car and waving.
YN grabbed her backpack and walked quickly to Danneel's car. She opened the passenger door and jumped in, slamming the door behind her.
"Hey, YN. How was school?" Danneel asked.
YN shrugged, "Fine."
Danneel thought maybe she could get YN open up, "Anything to report?"
YN shook her head in response.
"Well, why don't you tell me something you learned?"
"Um, we talked about Shakespeare in English."
Danneel stayed silent, thinking YN would continue. But she didn't.
"Anything else?"
YN shook her head.
Danneel let out a long sigh, "Do you want to tell me what's on your mind? Did something happen? Is there something I can do?"
YN turned to Danneel and stared at her for a moment. Tears welled up in her eyes as she reached out and twirled Danneel's hair in her hands.
"I really like your hair. It's a good length for you," YN said fighting back tears.
Danneel was confused for a moment before it suddenly hit her, "You wish your hair was shorter, don't you?"
YN nodded as tears fell down her cheeks, "I've never had it really cut. Dad just took me to get the ends trimmed and thinned out a bit over the years. But..."
"But?"
"He won't let me have it shorter. He always says his 'baby girl' needs to stay young forever. I guess this is his way of doing that," YN explained.
Danneel smiled sadly, "Well, I happen to have an appointment at the salon to color my hair. Why don't you take it? And you can do whatever you want to your hair."
YN whipped her head up to Danneel, "Are you crazy? Dad would flip!"
"YN, you're a 15-year-old girl. At your age, my parents let me do whatever I wanted to my hair. You're old enough to make your own decisions about how you look. You're in high school. If you want to do something to your hair, just say so."
YN thought for a moment. She slowly pulled down her hood and took her bun down. Her hair fell on her shoulders and all around her.
She took a breath, "I've always wanted to have a blue and purple bob, but I couldn't ever make myself do it."
"Well then," Danneel put the car in drive, "We will go do it." -------------------- A few hours later, Jensen was setting the table for dinner for himself and his family. He had gotten a text from Danneel earlier that said YN was going with her to her appointment and they'd be back in time for dinner.
As he set the last plate down on the table, he heard the front door open.
"We're back!" Danneel yelled in the house.
Jensen smiled as he walked down the steps of the dining room and into the living room. He saw Danneel standing by the door and YN by her side.
Well, he saw Danneel's face clearly, but YN stood with her hood over her head and face.
"There are my girls. How was the salon?" Jensen asked.
Danneel smiled, "Great. She got my hair back to the way I like it. And a little something extra."
Jensen chuckled, "Extra? Oh, she styled it."
"Well, yes. But that's not what I mean," Danneel turned to YN, "Come on, show him."
YN took a deep breath and pulled the hood off her face. Danneel smiled down at her, happy to see the smile on her face.
Jensen, on the other hand, was speechless. And not in a good way.
Tumblr media
YN ran her hands through her hair, "So, um, I told Danneel an idea I've had for the last couple years. I've always wanted to have multicolored hair and you know how badly I've wanted to cut it short."
Jensen still stood in silence. Danneel and YN waited in anticipation for him to speak.
"Well, Jay? Do you like it?" Danneel asked.
Jensen took a deep breath and closed his eyes, "Danneel can I speak with you...in private?" he whispered.
Danneel turned to YN, "Honey, why don't you go get ready for dinner? I'll come get you once-"
"No, I'll get her once we're done talking, Danneel," Jensen interrupted her.
YN looked up at her father in shock from his outburst. Jensen stared at Danneel in anger while Danneel looked frightened. YN took a step away from the two and slowly walked towards her bedroom.
Once in her room, she shut the door lightly behind her and walked straight over to her mirror. She took off her hoodie and ran her hands through her hair again.
She stared at her reflection as a smile slowly spread across her face. She couldn't remember the last time she smiled at herself.
For the first time in years, she felt pretty. She felt like herself. She felt...normal.
YN jumped and gasped in fear when a heavy knock interrupted her thoughts. She slowly walked over to the door, turned the handle, and pulled it open.
Jensen stood there with his arms crossed over his chest. And he did not look happy at all.
He walked past YN and into her bedroom, but kept his back to her, "So, do you want to explain it to me?"
YN was confused for a moment, "Explain wh-"
"Explain why in the hell you dyed your hair and chopped it all off, YN!" Jensen turned and yelled at her.
Tears formed in YN's eyes, "Y-you don't like it?"
"No. In fact I think it looks horrible. What did you do, stick your hair in a can of paint? Grab a pair of hedge trimmers and go to town on your hair?"
YN started to sob, "B-but I-"
"No, YN. You knew better. You knew not to mess with your hair."
"Danneel said-"
"Danneel is not your mother, YN. She is your step-mother. She has no say in anything with what you do or how you will look."
Anger started to flood her mind as YN took a step towards Jensen, "At least she saw that I needed to change, Dad."
"Excuse me?"
"For years now, all I've wanted to do was cut my hair, even just a trim. But you wouldn't allow it. Danneel saw how upset I was after school today and thought maybe if I just changed a little it would bring me out of my shell. And it did! It's only been like an hour since we left the salon and I can already tell my confidence has doubled!"
Jensen held a finger up at YN, "Now hold on a minute, young lady-"
"I'm not finished. You never let me change without your permission. I'm in high school now, Dad. That's already a huge change for me. I'm so scared of changing, too. And I know you don't want me to change and grow up, but I am. Change is happening, Dad. And this," YN pointed to her hair, "Needed to happen. Don't live in the past, Dad. I'm not that little girl anymore."
Jensen took a step back as tears formed in his eyes. He turned and walked over to YN's bed, sitting down on the edge. He hung his head in his hands and started to cry.
YN blinked a few times in shock as she walked over and sat down next to her father. She laid a hand on his back to comfort him.
"It's not that I didn't want you to change, YN. It's that I didn't want things to change," Jensen began, "After your mom died, it was hard to adjust to life without her. Change was so hard for me that I need to try and keep something constant. I think that's why I never allowed you to grow and change. You keeping your hair long like when you were a little girl was a constant thing that made everything okay. I didn't think I would make you miserable with it," he sighed, "I'm sorry."
YN wiped her own tears, "Dad, change has to happen in life. Or else the human race becomes crazy. Besides, you did change one thing.”
“And that is?”
“You brought Danneel into our lives. She can't replace Mom, but she really tries to make us both happy. And she knew this made me happy. She just wanted to help."
Jensen smiled, "When did you get so mature?"
"About an hour ago when I didn't have to hold my hair up to sit down in a chair," YN chuckled.
Jensen laughed with her, "Well, I do like the length of it," he stared at her hair, "But did you have to color it like this?"
YN rolled her eyes, "Didn't we just have this huge heart-to-heart with 'change' being a thing? These colors help me express myself."
"Just...don't come home with piercings or tattoos please," Jensen sighed.
"No promises on the piercings. You know, I've always wanted my navel pierced."
Jensen shook his head, "Absolutely not."
"How about my second holes in my ears?"
"That we can discuss."
