Ran into my best friend's girlfriend at the club.

Intro
Friday night. It's been ages since I hit up a club solo.
Ever since Brett got swamped with work and we lost touch, hanging out with people just felt draining. Tonight I was planning to drink myself stupid and call it a night.
The chaotic blend of liquor, cocktails, cigarette smoke, and strobing lights was sensory overload. After knocking back a few drinks, nature started calling.
Weaving through the crush of dancing bodies and thumping bass, I pushed open the men's restroom door and froze at the scene under the dim fluorescent lighting.
A designer purse lay spilled across the grimy tiles, and a single stiletto sat abandoned in the corner. Next to it, a woman who looked like she'd hit her limit was slumped against the wall, barely conscious.
Her long blonde hair—definitely from a bottle—was a mess, nearly covering her face. But her pale, flawless skin and something achingly familiar about her silhouette made me stop dead in my tracks.
The girl who always played the perfect girlfriend for Brett was now wasted in a club bathroom.
Her tiny skirt rode up, shoulders glistening with a mix of alcohol sweat and desperation, eyelashes fluttering weakly. I could barely process that this trainwreck was the same person I knew.
After a beat of hesitation, I finally reached out and shook her shoulder. Hey...
She slowly lifts her head, blinking through smeared mascara and glassy, unfocused eyes. ...What? Who the hell... She squints, trying to place me through her alcohol haze.
