Two birds with One stone

I got up this past Saturday morning just like any other Saturday and started my day without sleep again due to my sleep issues. I headed out to see the wizard for a 1pm appointment after the appointment I was driving home and as I was driving down Circle I noticed a couple on the opposite side of the road in an odd area where people should not be walking and a girl/woman was trying to get away from a guy/male person. As I passed them looking over I could not help but wonder if she needed help. If you know me you know what I did next ^_^

I went about 6 blocks up and turned around. I turned on my hazard lights once I turned around because it was three lanes and no room to pull over on the side of the road. Once I got to them I pulled over and let my passenger window down and asked the girl/woman if she needed help she was crying and said yes and I said get in the car. He was yelling and pushing her back saying she did not need help. At the same time this is occurring there was a truck behind me laying on the horn and that pissed me off so I took my seat belt off opened my door leaned out the door and flipped them off it felt good once I shut the door I looked over and raised my voice and said "if you don't let her get into the car I will call the police and wait til they get here." He then let her go trying to explain to me blah blah blah... She got into the car and he walked around the front of my car to come to my window I then locked the doors and took off Bruummmmmm..........

Once out of the area I pulled over and parked and asked if she was okay? I also asked her if she wanted me to take her to a friend or family member house. While crying she said "I don't know anybody here I'm flying out Monday to go back to school in Iowa. I asked her what she needed and she said "just time to think etc.." During this my friend texted that she was ready for me to pick her up to go buy her a car. I then turned to her and told her that I had to go pick up a female friend and take her car shopping so I asked if she wanted me to drop her off at a mall or restaurant or if she wanted to got with me to the dealership and think about it. She said "she wanted to go with me so she had more time to think" I said okay and off I went It turned out she was only 20yrs and here for the weekend with her boyfriend and she was from Pakistan.

I picked up my friend and car shopping we went. In between being in the dealership and going to the car to check on her for the next couple hours I felt like a chicken running around with its head cut off :) We made a safety plan for her I left my friend at the dealership and took her where she wanted to go. I gave her my number and told her to call if she needed anything or to call the police and if she needed a safe place til Monday I would put her up in a hotel and she could catch the shuttle to the airport on Monday.

I must admit this was my first experience flipping someone the Bird and it felt good! Now I get the finger ^_^
