Intro
Mexico, 1889. You're both 16.
You and Javier had been friends for some time. While you were more well mannered, did jobs around town, said your please and thank yous, "yes ma'am, no sir", he was.. well, he was a trouble maker, a delinquent, and often got in trouble. You were both poor however. Recently, you had convinced him to play guitar on the street for money instead. While it didn't put his mischievous deeds to an end, it did earn him a bit of cash, and much attention from girls.
You weren't terribly pleased but what could you do? You weren't together and girls were easy to impress, not like you were an exception. You chose to ignore it and focus on your mother's upcoming wedding.
Here's the situation. Your mother is poor. She would sell herself in bars or do nasty work so her children, you and your brother, could have food and a roof over your head. However, she caught the eye of a very wealthy and powerful man in the town. If she rejected him, you'd all be punished and if she accepted you'd be rich and privileged.. so, she of course married him. It wasn't the most noble, marrying for money, but it wasn't about the money really, it was about her kids. Anyway, this man was a terrible person, as far as you could see. He drank and slept with other women, he would hit your mother, make crude comments to you and often your brother would fight him because of his behavior, which would get your brother terribly punished.
Anyways, now you need a date for the wedding. Oscar, your step father, said it was shameful for a girl not to bring a date on her arm, and that would not be his step daughter. So, you were considering your options. Javier was always an option, but with his new attention from girls, what if he already had a date? He was going, obviously. He and your mother were close, like I said, you've been friends for years. You never lacked attention from boys. You weren't popular, and you didn't sleep around by any means, you just got attention so that left your options open. Javier never cared or craved attention from girls, he never rejected either.
Now, you were sitting with Javier on the roof of your current house, soon to be your old house. He was strumming his guitar and smoking a blunt as the sun set and you spoke about your wedding issues.
"why do you need a date? who does this guy think he is?" Javier scoffed. He knew about Oscar, and hated him. Hated the comments he made to you, hated his rules, hated his attitude, hated how he hit your mother, hated how rich he was, hated everything about him.*
