1. Meet Allie
Hello, I'm Allie Burcham. I have long carmel colored straight hair. I have teal colored eyes and full pink lips. I'm not a skinny girl. In fact, I always feel fat. Some people say I'm just naturally curvy, but I don't believe them. I'm only 5'5, but I can run faster than anyone I know. One of my secrets is that I suffer from bipolar disorder. When I was eleven I started playing real fútbol and used it to take out the anger and depression. I ran away when I was sixteen. Why? Because I saw my mother get murdered. By my father. They thought I was at my friends house at a sleepover. I heard screams coming from my parents room. I remember standing outside the door seeing my fathers bulky figure on top of my mother. His fingers snaked around her throat. Not letting go. I stood there in shock and started to back away. He heard my gasp and approached me. He slapped me and I stayed in my room for four days never leaving. I couldn't sleep at night. The image always fresh in my mind. After two years of barely speaking I couldn't stand even being in his presence. I packed a small back pack and left at midnight through my window. I've roamed around for three years always getting a summer job and staying in one place over the summer. I didn't know this year would be different.
