No wonder I lock my doors - GOOD read? I dunno, maybe..

Alright, so its now 230 AM, on saturday. I was approached by someone today about 20 minutes ago, kind of scared me, so here is my story.

I was at my friends house drinking some beer, blah blah blah, the night goes on etc. Around 2 oclock we decide its bed time, so my friend drives me to my car which is parked at my buddies house because me and my friend were both drinking. As we pull up, we see this huge guy walking on the sidewalk, no biggie, right?

We get to behind my civic and say goodbye etc etc do what people do. Then this car pulls up to my left and signals to roll down the window, my friend who was driving got really scared because it was so dark and couldnt really see, she told me not to get out but I have been in situations like this and first thing you need when someone is going to do some crazy shit is something to hit them with and a running start. I had bought 12 beer earlier and I still had a bunch left so I grabbed one and got out, just incase.

The driver turns the light on and it is some middle aged women, and she looked scared etc. I immeaditly ask her what the problem is, because people dont approach you like that unless they have a problem. She then tells me that she is a student, who is pregnant, and that she needs help, she lives just down the street from my friend. She said that she has a daughter, who is staying at a neighbors house. She told me that she is not drunk, or high, she doesnt do drugs or drink because she is pregnant, and she understands that it is very fucked up when someone tries to talk to you at 2AM.

Lady claims that she has no money, and that she works and goes to school. She also said she has an abusive alcholic boyfriend who hits her and her daughter. I was still like WTF is going on, so I just let her talk. Her boyfriend got really drunk, and had hit her and her daughter and then left and started to kick and damage her car, and that he was all drunk and shit and going around breaking stuff. I told her that she needs to get her daughter, and to go to a shelter. She tells me that her daughter is staying at her neighbor(cop) and that she is going down to the womens shelter, but she has nothing on her, she couldnt even grab her purse or anything as she left. Understandable because I saw that she was wearing pajamas, she even said that later. She said she had no money what so ever, and that she had no gas.

I told her that she needed to call the cops, she said she did but I was about to phone them anyways, but she told me that the cops had already came around, and then other cops were meeting her at the shelter. I asked her why she didnt have her daughter with her, and why she didnt bring her to the shelter with her, she seemed sympathetic with my uneasyness, maybe its because I was ready to hit someone with a beer bottle.
She then said that her daughter she knew was safe, and that her native 6foot 6 boyfriend wouldnt even look for her there, simply because she is a cop.

I didnt really know what to feel, except that I wanted to bash this fuckers head in, people like that who abuse others make me sick. But its even worse with kids involved and especially when a woman is pregnant. What I think is even worse is when the woman are too ignorant to leave or use law on there side, or even to fight back. When someone believes someone will change, or that its “only when hes drunk” is just plain retarded.

I told her that she needs to make sure her daughter is safe, and that she is safe. I told her that its OK to ask for help, even though a lot of people can’t do it. I also told her that she needs to be with her daughter and should consider taking her to the shelter with her. My friend gave me 2 dollars to give to her, and I grabbed all the change I had in my pocket and handed it to her and told her to be safe and to get help quick.

So theres my story, some people are really fucked up and that shit scared me. I went to see if that huge guy was still walking on the sidewalk so I could call the cops and follow him from my car, but he was gone. I hope everything works out for her and that she and her 2 children are safe and that fucking asshole gets whatever he deserves.

Thanks for reading

Nothing?

Turns out I was scammed. Just some crackhead looking for a few bucks, glad I didnt feel too bad for her and give her bills.

How did you find that out?

Some guy on beyond, named her car ETC. Bunch of people said it too.

Come to think of it she didnt shut her car off when she was talking to me (roughly 5 minutes)

oh well, some people i guess

Better to ‘help’ someone who doesn’t need it than stiff someone who does. Good call given you weren’t sure at the time.

Whatever. Who knows what she used it for…you never know when pocket change for you can do huge things for someone else. Besides, it’s good karma. :smiley:

hehe… i just use my change for carwashes… i know the attendant hates me… especially when there is 12 bucks in loonies and lower…

Oh well, so hard to find decent folk nowadayz… yeah…

Just think of it this way… She deserves the $2 for keeping for what seems to me like a long ass time to be in the middle of a street, in the middle of nowhere with a beer bottle in your hand!!
