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? Meant To Be is created by Samantha Auz, an eGlobal Creative Publishing signed author.

Chapter 25: The Demon Black Friday Shoppers

Tug of war used to be a fun game to play with friends. Maybe get tossed into mud or whipped cream if you lose the war.

However, this game of tug of war is absolutely a means of survival. If I don’t win this game of tug of war, then I’m going to ruin Christmas for a young boy. Teenager actually.

I may be dramatic by saying that I will ruin Christmas, but the happiness of my kids depends on these presents. They’ve given up so much in their lives and I don’t need them being upset on Christmas morning.

The kids could get nothing on Christmas morning, and they’d be happy just spending the day together. However, I know that deep down they enjoy getting gifts. Everybody does.

I’ve been fighting with this woman for a new skateboard for Seth. He wanted a specific custom-made skateboard with the Spanish La Santa Muerte on the back. For some strange reason, Seth wants to look like a bad boy when he rides his skateboard. It’s too bad that his nickname is Hermes.
