INT - Cruz's apartment (2003)
"A smile, eight year old Cruz stood outside the doorway to his apartment, his mother standing beside him. She was thin, with thin black hair. The hallway was dirty, with trash littered across the floor and pests crawling along the walls in broad daylight. The doorway to Cruz's apartment didn't have a door, rather a large cloth dangling from it's threshold to keep some form of privacy for his family."
Deep male voice from inside the apartment
Okay, you guys can come in!
"Cruz's mother bent down to look at him in the eyes. Cruz excitedly bounced in place, encouraged by his mother's soft smile"
Cruz's mother
Okay Cruz, I'm going to cover your eyes. Are you ready?
Cruz
Yes! I'm ready!
Cruz's mother
Okay, let's go!
"Cruz's mother stood up, grabbing his hand in one hand and covering his eyes in the other. She slowly walked them through the cloth and into the apartment, greeted by a scent of spice-scented candles and oven pizza. She quickly took her lifted her hands from over her eyes and Cruz's father (a short Hispanic man with wispy jet black hair) and brother (a thin, sickly boy in a wheelchair) both shouted at him"
Cruz's family
Happy birthday!
"Cruz's eyes opened wide as he saw their small studio apartment. It had small brown wooden round table sitting directly beyond the threshold in front of a small kitchen and a living room slash bedroom to the left where there were two beds lined up against the wall on the floor, leading up to an old school CRT TV. Cruz rushed to the table where he saw his birthday cake - a honey bun with eight candles. Next to it was a small oven pizza, split into four slices for each other them to divide amongst themselves. Cruz clapped joyfully as he hopped into a chair at the table and grabbed his slice of pizza"
Cruz
Oh my god! Thank you guys so much!
Cruz's father
(Holding his smiling mother by the waist) Make a wish son.
Cruz
Hmm, okay!
"Cruz closed his eyes for a few seconds before taking a deep breath and blowing out the candles of his honey bun. He then began to to wolf down his slice of pizza, nearly devouring it in two bites"
Cruz's mother
What did you wish for dear?
Cruz
Well...I kinda cheated...I wished for two things...
Cruz's father
What were they son?
