The Old Lady in the Bathroom

Janie opened the bathroom door and sniffled.
"Oh come here." She hugged Janie but she wasn't able to reach very high because Janie was extra tall in her heels.
"Here use this tissue. What's wrong? Who is this boy that's making you cry?"
"I-I don't think I could talk about it."
"Why not? Letting it out makes you feel better. Just give me the general idea."
"Well. I'm dating this guy and he's always so cold to me. I try really hard to be nice to him. I think I have even softened up to him. I didn't like him before but I can see some good things about him now. But he continues to ignore me. I know he has a girl on the side but I don't say anything because I feel like that will ruin our relationship. He makes me take the taxi while that girl gets to ride in the car."
"But you didn't like him when you first went out together?"
"A friend of ours persuaded us to."
"Oh, I see. So far I don't like this guy very much."
"I want to make him like me. I dressed up in this itchy dress and he still doesn't even give me a glance. And before in there he yelled at me. I get sleepy when music is soothing like that. He always regards me as someone who's plain and has no class. I feel much better now actually."
"Good. You let it all out. I actually get sleepy from that type of music too. That's why I'm in here."
The two of them laughed. The old lady led Janie out the bathroom and the two of split to get to their seat.

Hunter texted Janie and told her to come out again to go to Brian. But as soon as Janie stood up Logan grabbed her wrist. "Where do you think you're going? You just got back."
"I'm going back out to get a quick drink. My throat feels dry."
"You aren't going anywhere."
