Lost Years: Prequel to Back Home by rainy__october

The four years that Lydia Deetz spent living on the streets of New York before broke her to the point of knowing she had no choice but to call on a ghoulish poltergeist. This is the story of the four years she was on her own. While this story is mostly about Lydia and is told through her perspective, it will also include segments from Betelgeuse's perspective and what his life, or afterlife rather, was during the four years after he saved the Maitlands from exorcism. This story will contain mature elements that may be triggering to some people including abuse, homelessness, and self-harm.
