The sky was full of rain clouds when I pulled into the parking garage of my apartment and slowly got out of my car. My whole body ached from staying up until 3am trying to control a warehouse fire. I couldn't wait to leave the next day to go camping.

As I neared my apartment I heard the screaming further down the hall. Sighing I shook my head as I unlocked my door. The couple had moved in about a month ago. Since then every other night was screaming and fighting with a harsh male voice doing most of it.

I flipped on the lights. Glancing at the clock I realized it was past 9pm and decided to take a shower and go to bed.

When I got out of the shower the male voice was screaming a string of curses at the young woman I saw occasionally.

I walked into my living room hearing a door slam followed by a female voice crying. She was sorry and was hitting on a door. I sighed, shaking my head, walked over to my door unlocking it. Pausing I could hear her sobs echoing down the hall. Slowly I opened the door and started down the hall towards her.

She sat in the middle of the hall. Her waist long raven black hair cascaded down her shaking shoulders. She froze when she saw me. Her light blue eyes showed so much fear that I wanted to take her in my arms to comfort her. My eyes then fell on a long jagged cut that went from her shoulder down to her elbow, dripping blood onto her light blue jeans.

"I'm sorry," she whispered looking down to the ground.

"Why don't we fix that cut," I told her. Offering my hand to help her up, she paused. Then she placed her shaky hand in mine.

She sat in silence as I dabbed some peroxide on the cut. She winced and I did so with her.

"Sorry." I told her. My eyes traced the bruises that were scattered all over her arms. I sighed.

"Well, that should do it," I said calmly.

"Thank you," she told me. Getting up, she offered me a cute but shaky smile.

"You have a place to sleep?" I asked her.

She shook her head no, looking down.

"You can stay here if you want," I offered.

"I don't want to bother you. I have to get up early for work."

"You won't bother me. I get up early myself out of habit," I told her honestly.

"Are you sure?" she asked, unsure.

"Positive. Under one condition," I replied. "What's your name?"

She blushed, "Samantha. Sam." She smiled.

She had a pretty smile. Bet it would be even prettier without the bruises.

"What's yours?" she asked timidly.

"John. Johnny." I told her getting up. Glancing at the clock I realized it was already past 11.

"I'll sleep on the couch," she said just as I was about to suggest she could have the bed.

"You can.."

"No. It's fine. You've done so much," she interrupted.

"Okay." I could tell there was no use arguing with her. "Good night," I said as I turned towards the hall."

"Johnny?" she called.

I turned back towards her.

"Thank you," she whispered.

"Anytime. Remember that," I told her. "My door is always open." Turning, I headed down the hall.

She was gone when I got up the next morning. A thermos filled with coffee sat on the table along with a thank you note. I couldn't help but smile. She's a nice girl. I couldn't help but feel sorry for her as I packed up to go camping.
