Chapter 151
Julie's Point of View
Sarah's scream echoed through the bathroom. I masterfully painted a look of panic and distress on my face, rushing toward her. "Oh, Sarah! What's wrong? Are you okay?"
She was writhing on the floor, her features contorted. "It hurts... it hurts so much," she moaned.
"Oh... how did you fall?" I asked, feigning terror.
"I don't know," she replied, rubbing her lower back with a trembling hand. "My foot just slipped."
"Alright... here, give me your hand," I said in a fake, soothing tone. I extended my hand, and she clung to me with all her strength to rise.
As she gathered her weight and I lifted her slightly, I suddenly let go. She plummeted back down, crashing violently onto the hard marble. She let out a muffled shriek of pain. "Ow... my ass!"
I gasped in staged shock, covering my mouth. "Oh... I'm so stupid! I'm sorry, Sarah, my hand slipped. I didn't mean to."
"It's okay, Julie... it's okay," Sarah muttered, trying to choke back her tears.
