Sal sits in his room as Niki knocks on his door
"mom and dad are gone again, and Ali is to young to be left alone, what are you going to do?" Niki asks sal clutching a book in one hand
"I might just stay in bed all day." Sal replies to Niki looking at the floor
"I'm sixteen! I can be left alone by myself!!" Ali says breaking the long silence. Their apartment is pretty small, but big enough to raise the three of them. Niki Looks at Ali with her arms crossed
"Yeah, your only sixteen, but remove the teen, Ali you may be sixteen but you are mentally six!" Niki says. Ali huffs and sal looks confused.
"Why don't we all just do something so Ali doesnt have to be home alone." Sal proposes.
"I'm fine with that. Niki are you?" Ali asks leaning in sal's doorframe
"Fine, but it's not my fault if Ali dies." Niki says looking at Ali and walks out.
