Chapter 41 - FORTY ONE
- KILLIAN -
I’ve been behind her, keeping myself out of sight while following her. Hazel walks into the girls’ bathroom.
This will be hard. I waited a bit for anyone inside to walk out and anyone to walk in. No one did. By the side of the loo is a door leading to the janitor’s room.
I walk inside, looking for a good sign. I found one. This will do. I stroll out of the janitor’s room and stood in front of the door, holding a ’Do not use, under repair’ sign.
I took a deep breath in and put the sign out, in front of the ladies’ loo and walked in. This has to be the shittiest thing I’ve done but I need to talk to her. Not doing so is driving me crazy.
The sound of running water is the first thing I heard as I entered, then I saw someone. She was washing out something from her face. I didn’t need to look twice to know it’s Hazel. I look in the mirror and my eyes widened as I caught her reflection.
She’s bleeding.
"Let me help you." I said rolling out a tissue from one of the segmented toilet and went to her.
Hazel jumped when she heard my voice till she saw me. "Oh my god, what are you doing here, have you gone nuts?!" She ask, taking a step back. Her foot is injured and that hinders her movement, much to my advantage.
I press soap into my hand, rub my fingers against each other and placed it underneath the sink to rinse off. "Stay still." I said, placing my wet hand under the hand dryer while standing in front of her. I crouched my body lower so my head is leveled with hers.
Hazel didn’t listen. "Killian you can’t just barge into the girls’ toilet like it’s nothing-" Hazel charges, shifting her torso backwards. Well she’s right, but she’s hurt. And this was the only way for me to talk to her.
