Chapter 6

Season 3, Episode 13
~•~•~•~

Lianna always loved Halloween, she always gets excited whenever October would come. She couldn't wait to eat chocolates and candies again, and the fact that she can dress up as anyone excites her so much. From Princesses to Fairies to Actresses. Even if just for a day she can be someone who's life is not as fucked up as hers. She can be someone who doesn't have someone that threatens her, which leaves her with no sleep.

But this year? She wanted out. Not with everything that has happened the past month, she wouldn't be able to stomach being in a party. She was thankful that Caleb's surgery was successful but she still had other problems to face...

Jason.

"Lia, please, you have to go to the Halloween Train with us." Hanna's begging voice said through her phone's speakers making Lianna roll her eyes. "I am not in the mood to party, Han. I don't think I'd ever be in the mood to party anytime soon." She replied back, picking up Leo's clothes for the day from their drawer.

"Besides, Logan is out taking care of our parents' will. No one will be looking after Leo." She added as she started to change her son's clothes. "My Mom said she can look after Leo if you needed some alone time, remember?" Hanna retorted back.

"Han," Lianna sighed, fixing Leo's hair before giving him a kiss. Little Leo giggled, grabbing his Mom's face as Lianna pressed another kiss. "Please?" Hanna pleaded.

"Fine. I'd have to go to the mall to look for a stupid costume." She muttered, sighing as Hanna cheered loudly. "Okay bye! I'll see you later!" She exclaimed before dropping the call.

"Looks like we'd have to go costume shopping now, big guy." Lianna said to Leo who had no idea what his Mom said but still beamed at her.

"Mrs. Marin, thank you so much for taking Leo in for tonight." Lianna said softly as she handed Leo to Hanna's Mom who's eyes lighted up at the sight of the baby. "Oh Lia, it's nothing! You deserve to take a break every now and then. Besides, Leo and I will have a great time handing out candies tonight, wouldn't we?" Ashley gushed, taking a giggling Leo from Lianna's arms.

"I added extra milk in this bag and his pacifier to soothe him when he cries. Ever since, the uh, last month's uh, incident, it seems like he understood what I went through and became extra clingy to me so I am not sure how he'll react to me being away from him." Lianna stated, placing the bag on the counter as Ashley rubbed Leo's back.

"Don't worry, Lianna." Ashley said, nodding at Lianna. She could still see the brokenness in the younger woman's face. What she went through the past month was very intense for a teen to go through and Ashley only hoped that a piece of her would be healed today by attending a party with her best friends. "You have fun today, okay?"

"I'll try, Mrs. Marin. I'm getting there." Lianna smiled softly, her lips shaking as she was taken in for a tight hug. "We're always here for you, honey."

Wednesday Addams was the right character for her. All she had to do was to frown all evening which was perfect since that's what she was feeling, depressed and mad at the world. It was convenient to put together this outfit, a black hair dye that drastically changed her light brown hair and a black dress with long black socks did the trick.

Her arm shielded her face when a sudden flash met her eyes as she stepped foot inside the dim room that was filled with Rosewood citizens ready to party. "Sorry!" Lucas apologized, running off to the side when Lianna frowned at him.
