After six hours of fighting against the guy who tried to molest my friend, I was finally discharged by the police and took her along the way.
"Thank you." She hugged me from the behind.
"No problem." I said as I whipped out the umbrella.
"It's raining like there's no tomorrow." I looked up.
"Yeah." She nodded.
"Give me a moment." I gave her the umbrella and entered a store.
After 5 minutes I came back with two sandwiches.
"Here." I took the umbrella from her and have her one sandwich.
"Thanks." She took it with both hands.
"I'm sorry." She said.
Her body was shaking as she said it.
"Don't apologize." I hugged her with one hand.
"That makes me want to apologize more... sorry!" She started tearing up.
I gave her some time to cry, until it seemed like she calmed down.
"Sorry." She said in a timid way.
"We should return to the dorms now. They're ten minutes away. We should get moving." I patted her back.
After exactly ten minutes we arrived somewhat close to her dorm.
"My dorm is on the other side. You can have the umbrella." I handed her the umbrella.
She timidly stayed silent looking down.
"Okay. I'll take you home. It's okay Hilda." We walked again.
"Sorry." She placed both her hands behind me.
"It's okay." I said.
After approximately seven minutes we had arrived, and the rain became a drizzle.
"Take care." I said and was about to walk away.
"No. Please." She grabbed me.
"Huh?" I looked at her.
"Come in. I have no one to give me comfort other than you." Her eyes were about to tear.
"Okay." I entered with her.
"I always felt a little scared being alone." She said.
"And yet you came all the way here alone?" I sat next to her.
"My parents forced me into it. I'm just thankful that you're here Nate." She started crying again.
We sat for an hour, and she told me she'd take a shower.
"One of the lights don't work." She said.
"Damn. Bad luck." I noticed that there's barely any light coming out of her bathroom.
"Nate. Do you have clothes in your bag?" She asked.
