Vicky had just got home from doing a run. She lived in the city in her own flat which she was living in alone. From time to time her little brother would visit her or stay a few nights in the spare room she had. When she came home he was already round and had been drinking a few beers. Vicky never minded him taking advantage of her place. He was only 18 and clearly wanted freedom away from their parents from time to time. "I see you've been knocking a few back. Things really bad at home?" she asked as she picked up one of the empty bottles.
