Messed Up...Bad

Just a short story about a girl trying to find a purpose in life.

My name is....nevermind you don't need to know my name.That's not important now.What is important is that I tell you about my screwed up life. I'll start on the day that i was born I guess.That's where it all started.I was born in a back alley as a preme because my mother smoked at least two packs a day.And when she wasn't smoking cigarettes she was smoking weed in the bathroom.My father left before I was born and as far as I know he's still out there running from the police.Last I heard he had killed a guy.When I was three I my mom lost our apartment and we lived on the streets until my mom got another boyfriend and he took us in.That "relationship" only lasted a few months.But while we were living there she snagged some money so we could afford a train ticket to go and live with my mothers friend.We stayed with her until I was 7.During our stay my mother had won a poker game and came into some money.And when I say some money i mean $1,000.So she managed to get us moved into some crummy apartment.But I was good enough for me.On my 10th birthday our apartment caught on fire because my mother fell asleep holding a cigarette.We were on the streets again until I was 11.She managed to sucker some guy into "dating" her.One year ago,on my 12th birthday,I walked in my mothers room and found her dead.She overdosed.I packed some clothes and found $50 laying around.I packed some food and then I ran.I ran away from my life.I started fresh.I wondered around for one year.You see today is my 13th birthday.But I like to think of it as my first free birthday.I was just about to go and buy myself a cupcake to celebrate and you saw me.All ragedy.You took me inside gave me new clothes and let me take a shower.Then you told me that I could stay here as long as I like.I think that I finally have a purpose in life

I'm not sure what you'd like to do with this story and what you want to get out of writing, but I suggest taking a look at your grammar and spelling. Remember that you must put one or two spaces after a period, and use a capital "I" instead of "i."

Also, try to expand this story and have more character development and plot build-up.
