The Story Of Hailey Miller

When I was only six years old, my parents always had huge fights. Thankfully, I had a room to hide away from my parents. My room is basically where I live (besides the washroom of course) I stay in my room all day with my little white yorkie. Now, you're probably wondering why my parents always get into big arguments and all aggressive with their body language. Well, my parents are crazy for alcohol, that there was even one time where they robbed a store for more alcohol. Now, you may be wondering who I am and why I'm telling you my story? Well, my name is Hailey Miller, and I live in Galveston, Texas. I was born with extremely beautiful emerald, green eyes with lushes wavey brunette hair. I basically live by myself, because my parents don't really care about me, they want nothing to do with me. They feed me if I'm lucky enough, and even if they do the food is not all fancy and appetizing, it's more like soggy and bland. I decided if they didn't care about me then I would run away. Running away from home would be easy peasy, I thought when I ran away then my best friend (Bailey) would let me sleepover, but that wasn't the case. When I knocked on her door, she gave me a gross look the slammed the door in my face. I then realized I was now homeless. To remind you I only packed one day worth of food and water, I then sat on a bench and ate the supplies, took out a cup, waiting for money.
