Lucy Montez was put into foster care at age 10. She has gone home to home, but has yet to find a forever home. It's had been 6 years since her parents abandoned her. Her current foster home is a wreck. Her foster mom always goes out in the morning a...
"Hi I'm Lucy," I say as the two teenagers stop at the bottom of the stairs. "Hi! I'm Debbie and this is my brother Carl," she explains to me. " I don't mean to be rude or anything but with the hell are you in this house and sitting on our couch?" "CARL!" Fiona yells. I giggle at this. I don't know why but I do. It just feels like this is normal. "Fiona it's fine," I say still giggling at the way she yelled at the boy Carl. I explain why I'm here in the house and sitting on the couch. "Oh um wow uh I'm sorry. I shouldn't of said that," he apologizes. "Ah don't worry about it I'll get u back sometime soon," after I say this he smiles and walks into the kitchen.
The rest of the day goes by I get to know Debbie some more. She introduces me to her baby Franny. And is surprised on how good I am with babies. She asked me if I wanted to go shopping on Sunday. Of course I said yes.
I end up sleeping at V's for the night on her couch so she can make sure I'm okay. I wake up I grab some clothes from my bag and make sure I don't wake the babies in this process. I close the bathroom door and get changed.(in pic above) I go down stairs I decide to make breakfast for V and Kev because they've helped me out a lot yesterday. I make scrambled eggs and biscuits.
They come downstairs to see two plates with their breakfast on them. "Did you do this Lucy?" "Yes I did, I wanted to thank you for helping me yesterday. It really help," I pause,"And for introducing me to the Gallaghers," I say smiling. "Are you bruises okay? Did you hurt them anymore?!" V says concerned. " They are fine clam down," I giggle.
I walk over the the Gallagher's house to meet Debbie so I can go to the mall with her.
I walk into the house without knocking because apparently that's how it goes around here.
No one is downstairs at the moment so I decided to sit down at the table and think.
I look around their admiring how much better it was that my old one. Besides their house the people are awesome. That Carl kid is pretty cute. His ocean blue eyes. I look into them and I get lost. He seems broken. Like he been through way to much for his age. Then again so have I. I'm brought out of my thoughts by someone running down the stairs. I see it's Ian. I smile.
"Hey," I say still smiling. "I love your shirt!" He pauses, " oh wow I do not sound manly when I say that" he laughs. I laugh. "Thanks! I felt like in needed to show off my pride for the LGBTQ community," I say proudly. "That's awesome," he responds. Debbie comes rushing down the stairs zipping up her pants. Just like Fiona. I giggle. "Ready to go?" She asks "I am but are you?" I look down at her feet that currently have no shoes on them. She slaps lightly slap her head and comes back downstairs with shoes on. "Now I'm ready," she says. As we're leaving Carl comes down the stairs and winks at me. I wink back. Just those eyes.
We get to the mall and we go into a shoe store I didn't bother looking at any of the names of stores. Because I'm not used to going shopping. So I didn't feel the need to know the store. I get a bunch of new shoes which is good cuz I only had 2 pairs. Next we go into a clothes store. I got some really cute tops, dresses, some great jeans and shorts, and comfortable pants. The last store we went to I dreaded but I went any ways because Debbie dragged me to go with her. Makeup. She picked out stuff that she felt would suit me since I know nothing.
We get back to the house and Debbie immediately wants to do my make and pick out and outfit for me. I let her do this.
Surprisingly she's really good a makeup.

She has me get dressed up on the outfit she picked for me.
I come out I admit I do look pretty amazing.
"What about my bruises?" I ask.
"Come here I'll come them up with foundation until the go away," she tells me. I smile. She lightly puts foundation over the bruises on my arm.
I walk downstairs to see V, Fiona, and Carl.
"Girlll you look stunning!" V says with so much excitement.
"I couldn't agree more," Fiona says shaking her head in a good way.
Out of the corner of my eye I see Carl looking at me. As soon as he sees me look at him he looks away, and goes back to eating his cereal.
