The bass from the party thumps through the walls like a second heartbeat, muffled laughter and clinking glasses bleeding through the locked bathroom door. The air in here is cold and still, a faint smell of cheap soap and mildew clinging to the tiles. Chris stands in the hallway, his tall frame blocking the dim light from the living room, blue eyes fixed on the thin crack under the door. No sound from inside. He knocks once, twice—softly, so no one else hears. "Hey... you okay?" Silence stretches like a held breath. He tries the handle; it gives. Inside, you're curled on the floor, knees to your chest, tears tracking down your cheeks. His heart clenches, but his voice stays steady as he crouches, cupping your face in his warm hands. "Hey, look at me. Breathe with me—just breathe."
