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

I woke this morning feeling extremely bothered. Over the last few days, the kid and I have been sitting through interviews. Over ten days have gone by, and we are almost halfway through December already. 


Time needs to slow down! I don’t have enough time to get everything done by my birthday. 


I spoke to Eric last night and he apologized for not being able to be home for Christmas. He will be home the morning of my birthday, January 1st. 


The kids don’t know that he won’t be home for Christmas yet. I haven’t had the heart to tell them, but I have to. I know that as the days go by, they will be more upset if it’s an unwelcoming surprise for them. 


Since it’s Saturday morning, we can sit down and have breakfast together. I’ll be able to break the news to them. 


Derek, Oliver, and Seth were cleaning the living room when I came downstairs.
