Interrupted Bath

Lauren smiled as she soaked in the tub, blissfully unaware of her front door opening and closing. However, Lauren did hear the sound of her bathroom door open. Before the twenty-two-year-old could even move, Lauren looked up to see her sister, her work rival, her old high school rival, and her current college rival burst through the door.

"EEK!" Lauren squealed as she lowered herself into the water, covering her nonexistent chest and shaved privates in case the bubbles weren't able to. "What are you four doing in here?!"

"Lauren, Lauren, Lauren." Vanessa said as she shook her head, sitting down on the side of the tub. Her lips turned up into a cruel smile. "I'd like to welcome you to the corner of payback and vengeance."

"What are you babbling about?!" Lauren shrieked, "Get out of my bathroom!"

"Oh, I think that you know full well what I'm talking about." Vanessa said as she stuck a hand into the water, Lauren squirming to the side uncomfortably. "I've been talking with the girls, and after all the years of your bulling..."

"Instigating and job stealing..." Danielle added.

"Boyfriend stealing and life ruining..." May chimed in with a smirk of her own, Charlotte nodding in agreement as she smiled wickedly.

"That we decided that you need to be brought down a peg or twenty." Vanessa finished, looking Lauren dead in the eye. "Don't worry, we won't hurt you physically..." She said with a giggle, "But I can't say the same about your dignity, your reputation, or your pride."

Lauren could only stare at the four women, blushing profusely as she gulped.

"Now get out of the tub." Vanessa ordered with an evil grin.

"W-what?" Lauren whimpered as the color started to drain from her face. She then shook her head and glared up at Vanessa. "I'm not getting out of the tub while you four are in here!"

"Oh, sweet innocent Lauren." Vanessa chuckled mockingly, "You still think you have a say in this. I'll tell you what, I'll give you a choice. You can get out of the tub by yourself, or you can have Danielle and Charlotte drag you out. Either way..." Vanessa than reached into the water and pulled the plug of the tub, "I'd make my decision quickly if I were you."

Lauren watched in abject horror as Vanessa tossed the rubber bath plug out the window, the water slowly going down. If Lauren didn't decide soon, her secrets would be revealed! But both her decisions involved her revealing said secrets in the first place!

What was she going to do?!
