half an hour ago I heard a scream as I was lying on the sofa watching a movie. I knew it was coming from my female neighbour because she and her boyfriend have had some nasty fights from time to time. So I turn the volume down and listened to her and her boyfriend's voice in order to determine whether or not there was.... something going on.

The only thing I could hear was some mumbling and her going.. "I don't wanna do this anymore" and then she screamed again. As I stood there listening I thought about whether or not I should do something.

By her third scream I turned around, walked pass Loverboy as I said that's IT! and I walked up to her door and rang the bells several times. I folded my arms and prepared my strict tone voice. After a few seconds R. opened and she looked sad, confused and embarrased. So I asked "what the FUCK is going on?!" and she replied "nothing".

Then I said that all this screaming was not "nothing" and that I'd call the cops immediately if she wouldn't let me speak to her boyfriend. She refused and assured me that everything was allright. Then I asked her if he had been hitting her as I made her open the door and she said no. Her boyfriend who peeped out from behind the wall (he was lying in bed) said no as well with this chary voice. And then I pointed at him and said "for your sake pal, I fucking hope not!" And then I told them that if I heard anymore from them then I'd come back. And then I left.

So this happened like 50 minutes ago and they haven't said a word since.

I'm still kind of upset because this is the first time I've been involved in domestic disturbances. I didn't have time to think as I was talking to them but now all kinds of thoughts are overwhelming me. Did I do the right thing by intervening in their quarrel? Is she going to think that I'm a nosy bitch that overreacted?

I'm almost sure that he didn't hit her but I didn't feel like taking that chance you know?

I ..still don't know what to do with myself. Perhaps I should just go to bed.
