Um, it's...well, okay.

You need more descriptions. And spaces. You have to space after a period. xD

But I guess it's all right. But really cliche. You gotta make it unqiue.

 
Very weak beginning.

You can't just have nothing but periods, you need to work with punctuation and grammar to make it less childish to read. It's very weak for a beginning, you need to put something in it to make the reader want to read more. Also as Britt said, you need more descriptions. Try editing it then post what you've edited. :p

 
I also forgot to mention;

You can't just come out with the entire plot in one paragraph.

"Well mom left of on her buiness trip this morning.She will have the miss my Ballet.Dads In jail.So im staying with Aunt Rose.The mean old witch.Its almost dinner time.Roast beef."

Good writers make it less straight forward and more unique, to keep the reader interested, something like,

"My mother left on her business trip this morning. I can't say I'm the happiest, but what am I supposed to do? I have to live with my Aunt for a while. I never really liked Aunt Rose, something about her wicked nature and nasty roast beef just gives me a small hint that she may not be the best aunt. My father is in jail. He's been in there for a while now. I can't exactly say how I feel about that. I loved my father. I really did. But, when you commit a crime like him, you pay for it. Dinner will be arriving shortly, and wouldn't you know it? Aunt Rose's nasty roast beef is on the menu."

Notice how it's more interesting and makes the reader want to continue? Try that :p And PM if you need any tips, I'd be glad to help :(
