after several shots and a slew of less-than-positive altercations with her housemates, liv stormed off to the bathroom, locking the door behind her and turning the faucet all the way one. ( yes, she knew california was in a drought, but this wasnât fucking california ). liv was a crier, mostly when she was drunk, which she was. she was drunk, and miserable. it was cold, and she fucking hated everybody, and she was totally getting cut out of the will to be on this show, and she wasnât even having a good fucking time. and, like, she knew everyone was gonna hate her - sheâd basically made it that way on purpose, âcause everyone would hate her anyways, and sheâd rather be the master of her own fucking destiny - she sure felt stupid now, stumbling drunk and crying against the wall with her heels in her hands. really weak and pathetic and dumb, and sheâd die before she let anyone see her like this, but some things - like livâs inclination to start weeping in the bathroom - couldnât be helped. iâm getting, like, fucking disowned for this, she thought drunkenly, looking at her blurry reflection in the mirror. the fact that she looked like a mess made her cry harder, and then, it got worse: a knocking at the door, a fucking voice, holy shit, what a nightmare. she froze, fuck fuck fuck, then yelled: âfuck off!â hoping the wavering, teary quality of her voice was concealed by the fact that she was really slurring. goddammit!!! she tried to steady her breathing, back against the door to the bathroom. she waited several minutes before moving, but when she was content in thinking whatever rude bitch outside had left to go piss in the bushes or whatever, she finally took to the mirror, realizing she looked like a fucking mess. she did what she could to fix the teary quality of her eyes, but she basically had to make a b-line to her bedroom and drunkenly reapply her makeup if she wanted to look - like she wasnât a mess, which she totally was. taking a deep breath, she straightened up, squaring her shoulders and holding her head high, trying to look like she was normal and dignified and not completely embarrassing. she opened the door, and was nothing less than miserable to realize the hallway wasnât actually empty as sheâd thought itâd be.
in her drunken haze, fizzy honestly hadnât even considered what kind of reaction she might get out of the person inside the bathroom. granted, if she were on the other end of things, she probably wouldâve done something similar, which is why the fuck off only took her aback for about five seconds. if anything, it was less the words and more the quality in the personâs voice that took her off guard. something in fizzyâs head told her to ignore all her instincts and just shut up for once in her life, and so she did. she waited, and waited, and waited â it felt like a million years, and at the same time, she knew it was maybe five minutes, max. fizzy couldnât have said what she was lost in space thinking about as she leaned against the wall, because as soon as the door opened, her attention was drawn immediately to the girl leaving through it. liv, her drunken brain supplied helpfully, throwing her a bone for once. âoh,â fizzy let out a soft sound, not just at the realization of who it was, but of the next observation she made: that this girl who had been nothing but entitled and argumentative when fizzy had met her, now looked like sheâd been crying her eyes out in the bathroom for god knows how long. her brain short circuited as she considered what to do next. say something, right? she couldnât just walk away now, that would be a major asshole move â and fizzy was an asshole, sure, but not that much of an asshole. besides, despite her best intentions, she felt a twinge of sympathy tugging at her heart; sheâd been on the wrong side of a drunken cry in a bathroom more than a handful of times. âdo you smoke?â the words took even fizzy off guard as they passed her lips, because was she really offering to smoke her out? yes, yes she was. âweed, i mean. i have a joint in my room if you want. least i can do,â fizzy offered, you know, since i interrupted your emotional breakdown. âplus, you know. you seem like you could use it.â
