Meant to Be

Taking care of children is hard enough when you're a parent. It's harder when you're a seventeen-year-old high schooler. Lucy Hastings is the caretaker of five foster siblings -Seth, Serena, Derek, Oliver, and Ariel. The six of them have been together for years, under the love of their foster parents. When their foster mom passes away their foster dad needs to work more to make ends meet. The kids want to be a family, so Lucy steps up to take care of the kids. Keeping everybody around her at arm's length, Lucy finds it difficult to hide her true self from new student, Wesley Reynolds. He seems to be everywhere, why can't she escape him? Lucy has denied feelings of affection for anyone. She pushes away anyone who could care about her. What's she to do when she can't deny her growing feelings for Wesley Reynolds?

Chapter 12: Halloween Horrors

Halloween is my least favorite day of the year. My birth father used to make Halloween special for me. He didn’t have much money, so he would spend weeks trying to track down the perfect affordable costume for me.

I’ve been a genie, a purple crayon, Where’s Waldo, a Lego piece, and a bunch of other strange things.

When Eric and Clarice first took me in, Clarice dressed me up like a Greek Goddess every year for Halloween. She would always say that I could have a different costume each year, but I always wanted to be a Greek Goddess. Clarice gave me a love of Greek mythology, so I wanted to always look the part, even if it was only for one day.

All Halloween costumes are bought a year ahead of time when the stores are having clearance sales on the extra costumes. If the kids change their minds during the year, they must live with that. We can’t afford to buy new costumes when they are most expensive.
