It's been getting pretty rough down in Chicago.
There has been a lot of shooting and protesters around the city. People dealing drugs in every valley,girls getting raped walking home from school.

My names Delilah,I don't have a mom,well I mean I did of course because she made me obviously. She died when I was 3 so I didn't really have any affect on it.

My dad was an amazing father,he cared about everyone,he was a police officer and was shot on the job,the day he died was the day I stopped caring about everything,afraid if I got too attached I'd get hurt from it.

I was 14 when he died so they had to put me in a foster home.

I didn't socialize much with people in my age group,people thought I was mean and didn't want to talk to me.

"Delilah,we have found parents that want to adopt you." One of the social workers came up to me

It's been a year since my dad died,which means I'd be 15,I knew soon to be parents wanted babies not teenager?

"Why do they want me?" I asked

"They have heard your story and really want to help you." A girl teased

"Pack up,it's your last day in Chicago." The social worker touched my knee and walked away
