So that was a little part of my life, I'm Hayley and I'm finishing 9th grade, but I'm going to talk about 6th grade. I had just moved schools and everything was fun and happy, until one morning. My father had died recently from cancer and my mother was having a really hard time with it. One morning I was called out of school. I grabbed my school stuff and walked to the front office, to see my mom's friend Michael. I didn't know what was wrong but I was scared. He asked me if I knew if my mother did many drugs. I said, "No, not really. I never thought it was a lot, or bad." He took me into his car and sat me down and just looked in my eyes, and took a deep breath. "Your mother...well...she overdosed, and she passed away, they couldn't save her." It felt like I had just been shot. Tears rolled down my face and my heart
was beating fast. "And in her will, she said if she were to die, that I would have to take you to an orphanage, I don't know how she made her will, but I have a feeling she knew she would die." When he said that I felt scared but relieved. I didn't want to live with him; and I have never told anyone, but my mother abused me sometimes. She would always regret it and say sorry, but I had physical and emotional damage. "So, I'm going take you home, and your going to pack stuff you want to take with you, and I'm going to take you to an orphanage that is very big and you'll have your own room and everything, ok?" I nodded. This was weird. "What about school?", I asked. "They have school there." He said as he started driving me home. I didn't know what to feel.
