By now Jeff was sitting next to the woman while the doctor stitched up her arm. Mean while the nurse asked her some questions.
"What is your name", the nurse asked gingerly?
"Amanda", she replied quickly.
"How old are you"?
" 23"she said.
This went on for a while until the doctor was done with her arm. So she and Jeff were free to go. They were walking down the streets in an awkward silence until Jeff broke the silence.
"Sooooo your name is Amanda"?
"Yeah" she simply replied.
"So where are you going now" he asked?
"Obviously home"
Jeff looked at her in a curious way. " Obviously, what do you mean obviously. You can't go home with your so-called boyfriend. Only God knows what he'll do to you next," he retorted.
" Got a better idea? Its either that or sleep on the street", she said.
" That's not true. You could stay with me, my brother, and his girlfriend."
" Jeff that is really sweet but I don't want to intrude. Especially with your brother and his girlfriend there", she said kindly.
"Well I don't think you have a choice", he said still trying to convince her. "Look just one night. We are staying in a hotel and we are leaving tomorrow anyway."
"Oh you don't live here"? , she asked kind of confused.
"No we live in North Carolina, so will you come? Just one night", he asked with his puppy dog face.
She looked into his pleading eyes and reluctantly agreed. They got to the hotel room. As soon as Jeff opened the door Matt was already on his back saying how he should've been back already not realizing that Amanda was behind Jeff. While Matt was yelling at Jeff he started smiling a little, because Matt didn't know he was making himself look so stupid in front of Amanda and Matt had no clue.
"What are you smiling about"? Matt asked with a frown on his face.
"Matt I'd like you to meet my new friend Amanda" he said.
Amanda stepped out from behind Jeff.
Matt turned red in embarrassment. He looked at her bandaged up arm and looked at Jeff in a confused fashion. Jeff shot back an I'll-tell-you-later- look.
Matt extended his hand and Amanda did the same. Matt then introduced her to his girlfriend Amy.
"Hi I'm Amy," she said
"Hi I'm Amanda," she said as they were shaking hands.
"Um I was just ready to go downstairs to the lobby to get some coffee do you want to come"? Amy asked.
"Okay"
As the girls shut the door and left Matt started asking questions about Amanda.
"When did you meet her"? Matt asked eagerly.
"I will tell you if you promise you won't get mad."
"I promise."
"Okay remember last night when I said I was going to bar to meet some friends? Well that was a lie" he said almost in a whisper.
"What, so where did you go"? Matt asked with a little concern in his voice.
"Ummm, I just needed to go for a walk," Matt was ready to interrupt but Jeff told him to let him finish.
"Anyway, I was walking around and I ended up by this alley and that's when I saw her in a corner crying." he said sadly.
"Wait, why was she crying"? Matt asked.
"Well her boyfriend kind of beats her up a lot. That's why I asked her to stay here tonight." Jeff said.
"Jeff, what is up whith her arm."
"Oh tonight her boyfriend took a knife and well, you know." he said
"Well how did she pay to get stitches"?
"I paid" he said simply.
"Well is she going to pay you back"? Matt asked
"She said she would but I'm not worried about it." Jeff said.
