"I'll take room 17" I told the desk worker, throwing my money onto the counter in front of her and she picked it up handing me the key to my new room, but the whole time she gave me a strange look. "Do I know you?" she asked, staring at my unmasked face i smiled and asked her "Did any of your family or friends die recently?" she looked at me confused and scared and said "No" I walked off to go to my room saying "Then you don't know me".
I threw open the door to the apartment I had just bought and looking around at the dark room as I walked in not bothering to turn on the lights. I threw the bag I carried my stuff in onto the desk in the corner of the room and took off my shirt letting myself plop down onto the nearest bed. "Hey baby I'm sorry" I heard from outside "Just let! Me! In!" I heard someone repeatedly bang on a door and I knew what was happening. I sighed heavily and forced myself to get up stepping out into the hall that connected the rooms to see a man, drunk, with a gun and blood gushing from a cut on his arm pushing up against the door of whoever lived two doors down and I could also faintly hear a girl crying. "Hey Jackass!" I shouted "Trying to sleep here!" He turned to me his eyes were wide and he looked like he felt powerful, I bet he felt powerful. I aimed at me his hand barely even holding up the gun and fired missing my foot by 5 inches and hitting the ground. I laughed "You just gave me an excuse" I told him I dashed forward grabbing him by his collar and punching him into the door three times knocking one of his teeth out, then I stepped back and side kicked him but this time the door gave way knocking him into the woman's room. She was sitting in the corner crying and clutching a knife so tightly her knuckles turned white. I turned to walk away when I heard a clang as she dropped her knife "Thank you so much" I felt her arms wrap around my waist from behind and her tears on my back and mascara on my back I looked down at her "I don't know how I can repay you" she said, I laughed walking back to my room, but I couldn't help but tell her something, "Don't kill him" I said "And tell him if he comes back I'll put a bullet in him" then I slammed the door to my apartment.
