"Zuri! Open the door! Z!" I crazily banged on my younger sisters door.

She swung the door open looking at me like I'd lost my mind but quickly stepped aside letting me in once she realized I was drenched in rain.

"Girl what the hell?" She walked back to her linen closet grabbing me a towel while I waited by the door.

"My car broke down, I dropped my phone in a puddle trying to see what the hell was wrong with my car and then it started pouring while I walked here. What the actual fuck." I complained wiping myself off thoroughly with the towel.

"That's.... eventful." She looked at me suspiciously.

"Where was Rah when all of this was happening?"

"Corah is at work Z." I chuckled.

"Where does he work again?"

"Z come on!"

"Street pharmacist.. right." 1 shook my head looking away from her. This is why me and Her weren't close. She damn near treated me like the little sister sometimes.

"Where's your car now?" She waved for me to follow her back into her room so she could grab me some new clothes.

"Down the road, by the corner store." I grabbed the clothes from her.

"Alright, go get washed up while I call the tow company." I nodded going into the bathroom and stripping of my wet clothes.

I gave myself a once over in the mirror and noticed the rain had caused my makeup to run, thus revealing my bruised lip.

I'd left all my makeup in my car like an idiot so I had no choice other than to ask Zhuri.

"Shit." I mumbled to myself.

"Zhuri!" I yelled.

"Yeah?"

"Do you have make up in here by any chance?"

"Why you need make up Stori? Just get washed up and once your car is being taken care of and the weather chills ill take you home." 1 groaned to myself and gently placed my hand on the bruise flinching at the intense amount of pain that this small bruise was causing.

I stepped in the shower as the water brought a rush of calm and warmness to my body. I lathered my body in soap making sure to clean every inch.

I quickly washed my hair and rinsed off. I stepped out of the shower and wrapped a towel around my wet body. I stood in front of the mirror once again while 1 dried off and put on the clothes Zhuri got for me.

Once I was fully dressed and I placed everything in the dirty basket I stood in the mirror thinking of how to cover the bruise. 1 decided to move most of my hair to one side, covering half of my face. Satisfied, I shut the bathroom light off and walked back out to where Zhuri was.
