"The ceiling stopped spinning for me. Is it still spinning for you?" Steve asked me. I looked up.

"Holy shit. No." I rubbed my eyes.

"You think we puked it all up?"

"Maybe. Ask me something. Interrogate me." I mocked the russians voice.

"Okay." Steve chuckles. " Interrogate you. Sure. Um When was the last time you, uh, peed your pants?"

"A few days ago." I said as looked at the wall.

"What?"

"When the elevator dropped."

"Oh, my God." We laughed.

I feel like, last year, I have laughed harder than I have laughed in a really long time. And she's smart. Way smarter than me. You know, she can play guitar, like, really good. You know? She's honestly unlike anyone I've ever even met before." I didnt say anything. He was describing me. I pulled my knees to my chest. I silently banged my head on my knees. "Wendy?" He tapped on the wall between us. "Wendy, did you just OD in there?" I started to cry.

"No

"No." I sniffed and sighed. "I am still alive." I saw him come from under and into my stall. We both looked at each other. "The floor's disgusting."
