SAL POV

I saw Larry's eyes stare worriedly into mine. I bent over to pick up the shattered pieces of my prosthetic, being careful not to show my face through the underside of the stall. 

"Oh shit, oh shit, oh shit, oh shit!" I muttered under my breath. 

"Everything okay in there, Sal?" I heard Travis's shaky voice from outside of the stall door.

"Uhh, to be completely honest, no..." 

"What can I do?" I watched his neon green shoes shift awkwardly. 

I stared at the ground. "Not really anything..." I swiveled around and stared at Larry for suggestions, but he just shrugged. I rolled my eyes and turned back around. Thoughts were running through my mind before I turned around again and grabbed a roll of toilet paper. I wrapped it around my face and motioned for Larry to help me hurriedly. He helped me in the back- we ran out of toilet paper.

"Uh- should I leave or something? I mean- to help or something..." I heard Travis's voice again. I forgot he was there.

"No- no no! Can you go grab some toilet paper? From the janitor's closet? Please?" I rushed as I handed him a bobby pin from under the stall. Larry understood his assignment. Travis scurried out of the bathroom and Larry followed quickly after. The door closed, now it will just be me and Travis.

Me and Travis.

TRAVIS POV

"Shit! Oh shit, oh shit!" I whisper yelled as I took a bobby pin and stuck it into the lock hole, twisting it a couple of times before I heard the click. I pulled the door open and immediately searched the shelves, spotted the toilet paper, and grabbed it, sending a couple of other ones falling to the floor. I hustled back out into the hallway, slammed the door lightly, and speed-walked back. 

I broke into the bathroom door, but as I was entering as I tripped over my shoelace and fell flat on my face. I grunted and pushed my face off the ground, a small puddle of blood forming where I was laying. I looked in front of me to see Sal sitting in the corner of the stall, ripping the toilet paper off. He looked at me and I looked at him. Our eyes made contact.

"Travis- shit, aah, I'm so sorry!!" He scurried to cover his face. I just looked at him as blood dripped down my nose. Wow.

Half of his face was so complex, insane tears were from the top of his head to the bottom of his chin. His skin was textured and reddish-pink with tints of purple and blue. His eye was white and off-centered, and a bit of his nose and lips were ripped off, completely exposing the bone. He definitely wasn't pretty but something about seeing his face made my heart flutter.

"Right, no, don't be sorry, I'm sorry!" I came back to earth. "Don't worry about me, I'll be fine. I've had much worse, aha-" I was trying to lighten the moment and act like it didn't happen.

"Travis- can you help me?" I heard him say quietly. "Sorry, like, I need help wrapping this toilet paper around my head. Now that you've seen my face fully there's nothing more you can do, so help, please?" He said much louder as he began to unlock the stall.

Here we go.
