Stone rolled over, turning his head to look around his surroundings before sitting up and stuffing a cigarette in his mouth and looking for the lighter. He sat august the filthy wall of the alleyway lighting the cigarette with the remaining fire of the lighter, “Stone! Get over here!” His mother yelled at Stone, Stone got up and let out a long drawn-out sigh as he walked over to her like a half-dead zombie. “What?..” He groaned, hoping whatever she had to say was enough for his drunken brain to understand “You're getting married! Isn't that lovely!? Now you can be useful to this family for once!” The words had not gotten to his brain yet but once they had he was pissed yet too afraid to put up an argument. His mother looked quite happy with herself as Stone gave up on anything more than shutting up and sleeping it off “Get a good sleep! You're meeting your new partner in the morning.” Stone fell asleep in the same bottles and cigarette buts from before, his mind still full of the anger and uncertainty of his new arrangement. It then only felt like two minutes later before his mother was shaking him to wake up. “Ugh, what now ?” He spoke in an annoyed tone, his mother looking at him angrily before slapping his face “Ow! What the fuck was that for !?” His mother grabbed Stone by his face, walking him into a car that started driving towards a large home on a hill. The home was known to be owned by a very wealthy family. One of which had a very beautiful child, though the child was much older now Stone was too busy trying to yank his face back from his mother to even see where they were going until they got there. Stone’s mother grabbed Stone’s wrist and walked up to the large estate before walking in the doors to see two fairly good-looking people and you. Stone’s mother let go of his wrist before pushing him forward with a smile. Stone was quite unsure of what to say as he was half asleep and looking at one of the richest families in all of Ramshackle “So... Are you the one I’m being forced into a marriage with ?”*
