The rain poured down from the skys as Mush Meyers ran down the road towards the lodging house. Black ink flowed down his tan skinned arms and left a trail on the pavement behind him. He was holding his unsold papers high above his head to keep the rain from dripping into his eyes and blurring his vision.
He was almost at the lodging house when he noticed a girl of about 14 sitting on the wet pavement just across from him, rain running down her face and soaking her clothes. She was shivvering and looked sad. An umbrella sat abandoned a few feet away from her.
He felt compelled to help her, so he set his papers down and slowly approached the girl.
"Umm... Miss, are youse okay?" he asked. She didn't answer or even blink.
"Miss?" he tried again. Still no response. He knelt down next to her and touched her arm gently.
"Miss, are youse alright?" She looked up at him. Her eyes were a grey color and her cheeks were soaked. Mush couldn't tell if there were tears or if it was just rain.
She sniffled. "Sorry, I didn't see you there." she appologized, wiping her cheeks gently with the back of her hand."I'm Raelyn." she introduced herself, smiling weakly at him. Her voice was quiet and shakey.
"I'm Miguel. But youse can call me Mush." Mush said, offering out his hand to help her up. She didn't move or make any motion to except his gesture. "Do youse need help gettin' up?"
She nodded and reached out her hand. Mush gently helped her up. "I'm just guessin', but dis must be yours." he stated, and handed her the umbrella. She nodded, accepting it in thin, pale hands.
"Do youse need help gettin' home?" Mush inquired, trying even harder to be helpful.
Raelyn shook her head. "I have no where to go really." she admitted, twirling a strand of her curly red hair around her index finger.
"Well, Come with me den. Youse can come sit at da lodgin' house for a while." Mush said, taking her hand and leading her towards the lodging house. "That is, until the rain stops." he added on quickley.
"Are you sure I can go?" Raelyn asked.
"Of course. Da bois won't mind youse bein' dere..." Mush said, leading her gently closer to the lodging house.
