Blinded By The Light

Zelia, a 14 girl, was in a car accident at the age of 8. She was sitting in the middle of the backseat, and when two cars went into a collision, glass of the windshield shattered, some of it flying back and cutting her face.
Since then, she has been blind. Her mother died, and her father was arrested for drunk driving. Since her aunt was all the way in Europe, she had no one to take care of her. She lived in an alley for a few weeks, but almost got killed a few times.
One day, police had a reported sighting of her sitting on the side of a street all by herself. They asked her if she was waiting for someone, and she didn't look in the right direction to be looking at them, and so they figured out she was blind. She said she had no one to take care of her, so they took her to an orphanage. Many of the other kids teased her for being blind, and no one ever wanted to adopt her, because she couldn't see.
Once she was in the bathroom, and she was just leaving, when a few kids grabbed her. She was kicked and scratched and punched. When she returned to the bathroom, she felt her face. She felt blood. And a lot of it. When she was in bed she cried herself to sleep. She woke up in the morning pale and weak, and and adult saw her, and took her to the emergency room. She was suffering from loss of blood.
When she was taken back to rest in bed, she suffered loss of even more blood. She lay in silence, until finally, she died. The kids who beat her up where never discovered.
