The next night I had to go to the bathroom. When I tried the door I found it was unlocked. I walked in and there was Ashley standing at the sink holding a bottle of pills. She looked my way.
"Ashley. What are you doing," I said.
"I cant do this anymore. I don't want to," she simply told me.
"cant do what?"
"this! Life! I don't want to."
Oh.
"Ashley," I said stepping forward into the room.
"no. I don't want to be saved. I just. Want. To be understood. Now go away and leave me in peace."
I left but didn't go away. I sat on the floor and leaned against the bathroom wall.
