Harley is 18 years old. She lives alone with her 9 month-old daughter most of the time because her parents go away for their jobs and her older brother is in college.
What will happen when her parents have to go away for a year and a half?
Who will...
As I ran farther and farther away from the house that I was locked up in, I noticed a few changes in scenery.
There were old-looking brick buildings with spray paint all over the sides. And the sky seemed a little darker over on this side of town. The streets were deserted, except for the occasional car or taxi that passed by.
What had happened to this side of town?', I wondered inside my head.
I found a bench after a few more minutes of walking and decided to rest on it for a few minutes while I would try to see if I could get any internet connection so that I could call a taxi.
I dialed a taxi cab businessś number and was told that my cab would be here shortly.
Humming to myself, I continued to look around at the area around me, seeing beer bottles, trash, cand wrappers, and even broken glass almost everywhere! A gasp left my lips when I felt something rub against my legs.
Please don't be a rat, please don't be a rat!
I don't want to get rabies!
Not now and not ever!
After taking a couple of deep breaths to collect myself, I gathered the courage to look down to find out what was rubbing itself against my legs.
It was a puppy! A puppy!

" Aww!", I gasped before bending down and picking up the puppy.
" Welcome to the family, little guy/girl", I told the puppy earning puppy kisses all over my face.
A few minutes later the taxi arrived.
The taxi driver got out and opened the backseat door for us.
I carried the puppy with one hand and carried Laila with the other.
" Where do you need to go?", The taxi guy asked us after we got in.
