              He lets me in and closes the door. Its like a dressing room. I see her in front of her mirror looking at her bloody nose.

L: *sigh* fuck he just HAD to hit me right in the nose didnt the bastard-

H: s-so this is where you go on mondays?

L: *turns around* HOPE?! what the hell are you doing here?-

                She gets scary when shes mad but im not gonna show her im scared. I pull a chair up next to hers to talk

H: well you wont be busy after this right?

                    Shes abouta wipe her nose on her hand so i get out a tissue and hand it to her.

H: here 

L: uh thanks

                   I notice her knuckles while shes taking care if her nose. Their bleeding...I get her 1st aid kit and take her hand and she yanks it back looking at me.

L: what the hell was that for?

                    hey she actually said please...cool. I take her hand and put the disinfectant over it

L: AHHH FUCK

                  Her eyes start glowing for a sec but she shakes her head and they go back to normal.

H: sorry

L: i-its ahhh fucking fine 

                 I wrap that fist and then start on the other one. Her hands kinda rough for a female but i mean i guess that happens when your a fighter.

H: so um i guess this is how you keep fit huh?

L: least i could do is give ya a decent seat away from all these assholes dont worry as long as ya wear that you'll be fine well uh i gotta go back ta work follow me

                          She leads me to her seat which is in its own section and also the front row away from people. She walks in and someone with a hood up walks in too.
