The cracking of thunder and blowing of breeze followed a swift bolt of lightning that tore through the sky.the rain poured down hard at 10:00pm and the streets were filled with people and vehicles trying to hurry home after a long,gruelling and rigorous workday.two individuals in particular are seen running through the rain late at night,their shoes plunging into puddles of water as they headed towards their apartment building .These two were nighteen -year-old Luis and his fifteen- year-old sister molly, Luis was dressed in a t-shirt and shorts now soaked, while his sister wore a coat that he had given her as they steered through the rain, hurrying into their apartment.
Luis was freezing cold, shivering in pain as the frosty rainwater salted his wounds on both his face and arms but he endured it, guiding his sister up the stairs until they reached out their family apartment building.
The strong smell of old cigarettes and decaying food from the nearby trash bin filled the hall way.
Are you alright?he asked with a husky voice, surprised he could still talk clearly after receiving a huge blow to his throat during the fight.
Mary simply nodded ,warn with the coat Luis had given her after he had come looking for her late at night.she glanced at Luis as he searched for his keys before groaning in frustration and dispair.
He had just came back from working his grueling shift at a still factory, where he spent hours lifting heavy machinery,only to earn $400 at the end of the month which is not enough to cater for him,his sister and mom
when his mom told him that his sister is yet to come home after flouting the curfew that none of them must be in another place apart from home by 8:30pm and his mom telling him to go look for his sister and his mom's plea was something he couldn't say no to
