When There Is Nothing Left But Love (Ashton And Scarlett)

“I have something that might work!” The sobbing woman muttered excitedly before she paused and whispered, “I am not going to take this silently any longer. Why do I have to put up with her? I’m going to make her burn her finger, and yet there’s nothing that she can do about it.”

Suddenly, the air grew still in the bathroom. A text came in on my phone. It was from Hailey. She asked when I would be able to meet her as she was planning to go back to K City.

I replied to her and kept my phone. Then, I heard a scream from my neighboring bathroom stall. “Ahh! Who is that?”

Sounds of water splashing could be heard, and I was stumped for a brief moment. I headed out of my stall, and bumped into two women holding two big buckets.
