Harley's Life-Personal Narrative

Great Essays
I crawled through the open window of Harley’s apartment on the fifth floor. I suspected that he wasn't home, with all the lights turned off. Although, there was a faint sound of music playing from his iPod hidden under the pillow of his desk chair, with the cord sticking out. I only noticed that he was home when I saw a light from the crack of the bathroom door, but I didn't bother to call his name.

You’re going to commit some sort of act, get caught, and get sent back to Nathan. He’s not going to know what to do with you but send you to another home. Instead, you’re going to come back to me.” “That’s where you’re wrong. I can’t go back to Nathan. I turn 18, a week after Labor Day. I’m not going to get hurt, and you won’t either. Just
