THE CITY STREETS BLAZED IN RED AND BLUE as the sirens wailed on its undying outroar. Each second intensifying in volume as each car flew past. Even whips of a propeller from a few helicopters joining in the chaos.
The fourteen year old Y/N sat quietly on the mattress laid across the dirty cement, his eyes wandering across the open peak that showed a glimpse of the city around him.
But then he diverts his attention, now facing towards the younger latter across from him. Lips pouted, arms crossed, as a heavy sigh escaped his younger brother's breaths.
Y/N looks on in sympathy before an idea clicks in his head.
"What do you think?"
This catches Austin's attention. The little boy raises his head. "What?"
Y/N chuckles, "The noise." He gestured towards the small window, "You think you got a guess on what's causing it?"
Austin looks on at the view, noticing the array of lights before his eyes go in a bright wide, "What if it's a car chase?" He suggests enthusiastically.
Y/N lightly chuckles at his younger brother's statement, fascinated and amused from his little brother's evident array of imagination before playing along.
"Oooh that's actually a good one."
Austin giggles, which garners a soft proud smile from Y/N.
Recently, times have been tough. Eliza, the mother of the two boys, has been working additional shifts at the local hospital.
Iman, the father, quite surprisingly was the one incharge of the two boys. Eliza thought that it was much easier. Her husband tried dismissing the matter and insisted on looking for a job in order to give her some breathing room but she believed her two sons needed someone to look up to during these desperate times.
"Can I join?" a voice called as the two boys immediately whipped their head towards the sound.
"Papa!" Austin exclaimed as he jumped up from the mattress and clung onto Iman's right leg, "I missed you!"
