Chapter 1: Broken Heart.
(Before this starts, just know this is actually the thirtieth book I've made. I didn't know at the time that you could create it on the site itself, so I used the Notes app on my phone. So it's taking me some time to get used to it.)
Lincoln was sitting down at lunch, trying to eat his food. He tried though, but he couldn't focus. He was daydreaming about the girl he is in love with. She was beautiful, nice, kind, smart, and she wasn't ever afraid to get dirt under her nails. He really loved her, and he would do anything for her.
Which is why he rejected a whole bunch of girls that confessed they loved him. He rejected about twenty because he didn't love them, he only loved her. But one girl practically attached herself to him, she never left him alone until school was over, and even then she would sometimes come over to his house and climb through his window. He always enjoyed her company though, so he never complained about her being around him and coming over, he even gave her a key to his window and bedroom door so that she could come over whenever she wanted. But he didn't love her, but she loved him, and they both knew this too.
She always showed him affection and she would do anything for him. She gave absolutely no effort at all to hide her love for him, in fact, she embraced it. He really liked that about her though, she was never afraid to do anything. So when she sat down next to him at a table he and she both smiled. She said, "Hey Lincoln, how are you today?", and Lincoln said, "I'm great, how about you Ronnie?", she said, "I'm wonderful now that you're here.".
Yeah, that was the girl that loved him but, he didn't love her. Ronnie Anne, never afraid to show affection to him. Even though she was known as the toughest and strongest girl in the school, she didn't care about her reputation when it came to Lincoln. On any other occasion though she would deeply care. Lincoln smiled even more at her comment, and he said, "I really like that you aren't one of those people that ty to hide their feelings.".
Ronnie Anne blushed a little, then she said, "And I love everything about you, handsome.", which made him chuckle a little. He loved that she flirted with him, he loved the attention she gave him. He didn't really get that with having ten sisters and all. He loved the feeling of being loved, and cared for. He never got to feel loved by his family, because the only time they ever showed him any attention was when he got blamed for something he didn't do, or when he would get into fights and arguments with his sisters.
So he loved having Ronnie Anne around, because she would give him all that, and she wanted to be around him. It was a win-win situation. He stood up and told her bye and she did the same and they waved bye. School had just ended for the day and Lincoln was on his way home. Clyde ran up to him and said, "Hey buddy, what's up?", and Lincoln said, "Hey Clyde, I'm just happy I get to go home and see the girl I love.". Clyde rolled his eyes and said, "You are one lovestruck puppy man. You do know she is your sister right?", and Lincoln said, "Yeah I know she is, but that won't stop me from loving her more than a sister. I love her with all my heart, and I can't wait to get back to her. Why do you have a problem with that?".
Clyde smiled and said, "I don't have a problem with that, I just think it's weird. You know that I would gladly help you, but it is weird. I won't interfere unless you want me too, but it is gonna be hard to get your sister to love you that way. I'm all for you being with her, but it will be hard.". Lincoln sighed and said, "Yeah I know, getting her to love me will be hard, but it won't stop me from trying. I don't care how long it'll take or how hard it is, I won't just quit because it's hard. Love conquers all they say, so that means it can also conquer somebody's heart. I love her.". Clyde smiled and said, "You have one heck of a heart dude, and I hope you win her heart. If she hurts you though, I'll hurt her, just a fair warning.", which made both of them laugh. After they got down laughing they went separate ways and Lincoln was at his house. He opened he door and went to the kitchen to grab a quick snack.
He grabbed a soda instead and was going to walk up the stairs, until he heard somebody say, "He's so weak.". So, being his curious self, he walked towards the voice but hide around a corner when he saw all his sisters in the living room, clearly having a sister meeting, which meant it was about him. He peaked around the corner just enough to see and hear them, and he watched and listened. Lori, Leni, Luna, Luan, Lynn, Lucy, Lola, Lana, and Lisa were there, except for Lily though, so apparently not all of his sisters were there. Luna said, "So what are we gonna do about Lincoln?", and Lynn said, "Yeah, he is clearly in love with one of us, but who is it?".
They all got into their thinking poses and Lincoln went wide eyed as he thought, "Crap! They know?! How could they know?!". Lisa said, "Well, it has to be somebody who spends time with him.", and Lucy added, "And somebody who shows him affection.". Lincoln then sighed in relief, because she never showed him any of that, but it made him frown at the same time. Leni said, "Yeah, and like, totes, has to be close to like, his age.", and Lisa said, "So with his age being eleven, the only possibilities that remain are Luna, Luan, Lynn, and Lucy. They are the closest to his current age.".
Which made the four blush, then Lynn said, "What?! Why would he love me like that?! I don't even like him!", and Luan said, "Yeah! I prank him all the time because it's fun to hit him with pies and stuff like that!". Lucy said, "I don't like him, so how could I even love him?", and Luna said, "I like the little dude, but I don't love him. He is way too weak to be my type.". Lynn said, "Yeah, he is weak. He couldn't ever hold himself in a fight, so how would he even stand up for himself? Not to mention he is stupid and ugly.". Luan said, "Yeah, and he isn't even funny. He is so slow and he would never be able to take care of himself. He can't even throw a punch. I'm a comedian, and even I can punch somebody.". Lucy said, "He isn't serious enough for me. He is too happy and joyful to be my type. I prefer the dark and wise kind of guys.".
Lynn said, "He is too weak and ugly to be my type. I prefer the strong and wild type of guys, the one that can take care of himself and others, and handsome.". Luna said, "He is too calm to be my type, not to mention he has that white hair that makes him look like a grandpa. I prefer the one that can show me a good time, and is wild and free.". Luan said, "He isn't funny to be my type, and he is too stupid. I prefer the funny type, the kind that can make me laugh, and the kind that is smart and kind.". Lisa said, "So what you are all saying is that he is lacking in many areas of your ideal type. He is lacking in strength, intelligence, charisma, appearance, humor, and all around lacking in everything.".
Then they nodded, and Lori said, "This is wrong, we shouldn't be talking about him like this. He is our brother, he is family.". Lola said, "Yeah, he is family, and family don't treat each other like this.". Lana said, "They treat each other with respect and love, they care for each other.". Lisa said, "You four may not love or even like him, but me, Lola, Lana, Lori, Lily, and Leni, love him like family. You four should be ashamed of yourselves for even thinking of him that low.". Which made Luna, Luan, Lynn, and Lucy look down at their feet in shame.
Lincoln was crying, but he managed to hold back his sobs. He couldn't believe it, he couldn't believe the only people he could ever call family, was demoting him. They actually thought of him like that? It made him feel sick, it made him want to run away, to just run away and never look back. He loved his sisters, keyword, loved, as in past tense.
But what made it hurt the most, was that the girl he loved actually said those things about him. She thought he was ugly, boring, weak, stupid…stupid. She thought he was stupid and weak…weak. He felt something inside his chest tighten, and he clutched his chest hoping to stop the painful feeling he felt. He wanted it to stop, he wanted the pain to leave and never come back.
He wanted to fight back the boiling rage building up inside him. He wanted to stop the sadness he was feeling. But he couldn't, because she said and agreed to what everybody said. Finally, after a full minute of standing there crying while clutching his chest. He backed away slowly and took his hand off his chest.
Then he ran up the stairs quietly and into his room. When he closed the door he locked it and threw his bag to the wall. Then he stood there clenching his fists with his eyes shut tight with tears streaming down his face, he was looking down at his feet. He started talking to himself, "Why? Why does she hate me? Why does she think I'm basically useless? I hate this feeling, I hate that she thinks of me like that. My own damn family doesn't even care about me. Does anybody even care about me if my family doesn't? Am I really useless? Am I really weak? Am I really ugly? Am I really boring? Am I really stupid? I don't get it, why does she hate me? Why? Why?! WHY?!?!". Suddenly, his rage was too great to control.
He grabbed his toy robot and stepped a few feet back, then he threw it at his mirror and it shattered the mirror and broke the robot into pieces. Then he grabbed an edge of his Glob Man poster and ripped it in half leaving the other half still on the wall. He grabbed his calendar off his door and ripped it in half and he threw it to the side. Then he grabbed the red book he had and threw it at the window, breaking the window and the book went flying outside. He grabbed a green book and threw it at his ceiling light, breaking that as well.
Then it went dark, but the sun from outside lit the dark area into a darkened yet visible bedroom. He stood in the middle of his room, clenched fists and felt some of the glass from his ceiling light fall onto him. He felt little shards of glass hit him but it didn't hurt, they were too tiny to hurt. Finally, he fell to his knees and hands. He felt unloved, unwanted, unneeded…he felt broken. He was broken.
He let his tears fall, he didn't care that he looked weak right now, he felt so much pain. He clenched his fists again, and he used his right hand to hit the floor. Lucky for him he didn't hit any shards of glass, so he kept hitting the floor over and over and over until his hand hurt so much he could barely feel it. He turned his hand and saw his bloody knuckles and the blood on the floor. He had hit the floor so many times that he bloodied up his knuckles.
He couldn't handle it, he couldn't handle the pain and sadness within him. He slowly stood up and walked over to his mirror which still had some pieces of glass in it. But most of the glass was on the ground, luckily for him he still had his shoes on. He looked up into the mirror and saw himself, but not himself if that makes any since. His bloodshot eyes screamed pain, misery, sadness, and regret.
His bloody knuckles screamed unrelenting rage. His frown screamed nothing. He heard a knock on his door but he didn't move or say anything. He heard Lynn say, "Little bro, are you okay? We heard sounds of glass being broken and some other things. We all wanted to know if you're okay.". She got no response, which worried all of his sisters which were all outside his door.
Luna said, "Little bro? Are you okay in there?", when they still got no answer, they all became extremely worried that something had happened to him. So Luan said, "Lincoln? Lincoln are you okay?! Lincoln?! Lincoln open up!". Then they still got no response, Lynn tried to open up the door, only to find it was locked. Then she looked at her sisters and they all nodded, so Lynn turned back to the door and braced her shoulder. Then she backed up a little and rammed the door knocking it off it's hinges and flat on the floor with Lynn landing on top of it.
Then they all came into his room and saw him looking at himself on a mirror. They all sighed in relief, then Lori grew angry and said, "Why the hell didn't you answer us Lincoln?!". She got no response, then Lucy said, "You had us worried about you Lincoln.". Which only made him scoff, and Lynn said, while standing up on the door, "Why didn't you answer us little bro? We thought you were really hurt and possibly dying. I had to literally break down your door to get to you.". Again, they got no response, which made them start to worry again. So Luna slowly walked over to him and put a hand on his shoulder and said, "Little bro? You alright?".
He shrugged her hand off of him, which shocked everybody, he was always way friendlier than this. Then Lori came over and tried to put a hand on his shoulder, only to have Lincoln hit her hand away. When he hit her hand away it, again, shocked everybody. Then they all noticed his bloody hand, apparently the blood from his knuckles had dripped down his hand and practically covered it. The girls were freaked out at this point.
Lincoln not acting nice, not talking, trashed room, and a bloody hand. Something had Lincoln off, and it clearly wasn't good if it had him acting like…this. Lynn tried to walk over to him, but he turned around and the fury and sadness in his eyes stopped her in her tracks. Then he brushed past his sisters and walked out of his room. That's when they started to go after him, and Lynn ran past him and cut him off at the front door, they were all now downstairs.
So he turned and went into the living room, where his sisters had already cut off every entrance and exit to the living room. He was trapped in the living room, the very room they all said those things about him. A tear escaped his eye and ran down his cheek, then hit the floor. Which caught everybody's attention. Lucy walked up to him and said with a concerned expression, as everybody had, "Big brother, please tell us. What is wrong with you? You can tell us, we are family.".
Lincoln made a pitiful laugh, then he forced a clearly forced smile and said, "Family? Yeah right. Family don't treat each other like they are nothing. They don't call each other ugly, stupid, weak, boring, and basically useless.". That's when they all realized, he had heard everything they said. Lincoln continued, "Family is precious everybody says. Family are the people who will always be there for you. Family will always help you, no matter what. Family treat each other with respect and love, not hate and anger. I thought you were my family, I thought you all loved me. But I guess I was wrong, god was I wrong. You don't love me, nobody does. You hate me, and now…I hate you…I hate you all!". Everybody backed up a little as Lincoln clenched his fists. Lincoln continued, "I loved you all, I really did. But after hearing all that, I realize that I was wrong. I still love one of you, that's probably why it hurts so much. The pain, the sadness, the regret, the anger. You have no idea what it's like to feel this, but I hope you feel this some day, because you all caused this.". They looked down at the ground in shame.
Lincoln started to walk out, but was stopped by Lori who was in his way. So he said, "Move out of my way, now.", and Lori said, with a shocked expression that her little brother would actually say something like that, "What did you say?", which only angered him even more. So he said through gritted teeth while he clenched his fists even more, making his knuckles white and the red blood stains on his hand more visible, "I said. Move. Out. Of. My. Way. Now.". Then he pushed Lori aside and walked out. That's when Lynn, Lucy, Luan, and Luna walked after him, leaving everybody else behind.
Lincoln had walked out the back door and when they got outside and in the backyard, he turned around and saw them. Then he turned away from them and started to run, then he climbed over the fence and kept running. They ran after him for a good thirty minutes. The others had stopped to catch their breath, but Lincoln was still running with Lynn right behind him. He was surprisingly fast, he was just as fast as her.
But eventually he started to slow down from exhaustion, and Lynn kept pushing herself. When she was within arms reach of him, she tackled him to the ground. He flailed his arms to get her off I'm but she grabbed his arms and pinned him to the ground. Then she sat in his lap and held his arms down as they slowly caught their breath. When they started breathing normally Lincoln said in a demanding and angered, "Let me go Lynn!", and Lynn said in a caring yet commanding tone, "No! Not until you calm down long enough for us to talk to you!".
Lincoln tried kicking but since Lynn was sitting on his lap, he couldn't kick her off, but that didn't stop him from struggling. As he kept struggling Lynn said, "Lincoln stop struggling! I'm trying to help you!". Lincoln yelled back in a furious tone and expression as his eyes turned a dark shade of red(This isn't supernatural. It happens to most people when they get super angry. Or at least it happens to some people, I know it happens to me for sure. Anyways, back to the story.), "No! I don't want your help! You've done enough!". Which confused Lynn, so she said, "What do you mean I've done enough?", which seemed to slowly calm him down, enough to were he stopped struggling. Then he said, with a pained expression, "You broke it, you completely shattered it. You want to help, but all you've done is damage my heart.", and Lynn said, "So, wait. How could I break your heart unless…". That's when realization dawned on her. Lincoln loved her, he was in love with her.
She was the one that he was deeply in love with. She blushed madly making her face look as red as a blossomed rose. Then she said, "You are in love with me?", and Lincoln looked away and said, "Of course I am, why wouldn't I be?". Which made him blush a little. They sat in awkward silence for a while, then she said, "…Lincoln…I'm so-".
But she was cut off when someone in a purple jacket pushed her off of Lincoln's lap. They looked at the person and saw it was Ronnie Anne, with an infuriated expression. Her teeth were gritted and her hands clenched into fists, so clenched that her knuckles were white. But her current state fell into a mixture of happy, sad, and thoughtful one when she looked at Lincoln, and she knelt down and grabbed his hand. Then she stood back up and pulled Lincoln up, and his furious expression fell into a soft and warm one.
Then when Ronnie looked back at Lynn, her old state came right back as if it never left. She stormed over to Lynn and raised her fist, and Lynn put her hands up to block her face. To her surprise though, she didn't feel any pain, instead, when she moved her arms away, she saw Lincoln, who had grabbed Ronnie's arm and he said, "Please don't hurt her Ronnie. She was just…trying to help me.". Lynn sensed the pain and sorrow in his voice, and knew he was trying his best not to cry. Ronnie Anne only said, in a firm and serious, almost threatening tone, "Fine.", and she lowered her hand.
Then she grabbed Lincoln's hand and pulled him away until they were out of sight. When they were gone, Lucy stood up and leaned on a fence, then she slid down until she sat on the ground and she pulled her knees up to her chest. She wrapped her arms around her legs and rested her head on her knees. She though to herself, "Why? Why was I so STUPID?! I NEVER should have said that stuff about him! I'm such an idiot! An idiot! A stupid ignorant idiot! I lost the one chance I had in being together with him! All because I was too afraid to admit my feelings towards him to my family! I'm an idiot! A good-for-nothing, useless, stupid, ignorant, stupid, stupid idiot!". She cried for what seemed like an hour, and she knew she deserved it.
She wanted to cry. She wanted to let it all out. She wanted to puke from the guilt. She wanted to run and find Lincoln. She wanted to beat the crap out of Ronnie Anne for taking him.
She wanted to scream for Lincoln to come back. She wanted Lincoln back. She wanted to be together with him. She wanted to do everything with Lincoln. She wanted Lincoln to love her again. She wanted…him.
She loved Lincoln, with all her heart. She was in love with him, and she knew it, but was too afraid to admit her love towards him to her family. Then she realized something and she picked her head up. This is how she made Lincoln feel. She made him sad and angry.
She wronged him and caused him so much pain. She felt all the guilt in he world hit her all at once. She quickly turned around and puked onto the grass. She knew she had to fix this. She knew she had to find Lincoln and fix everything she did wrong.
So she wiped off her the puke from her chin and tried to stand up, but fell back to her knees. She felt weak in her knees, so weak that she couldn't stand. Fortunately for her, Lucy, Luan, and Luna finally caught up to her and they saw her current state. So they huddled around her and Luna said, "Lynn! What's wrong?! What happened?!". That's when Lynn knew she had to tell them, so she explained everything to them, no matter how painful it was to say, she knew she needed as much help as she could get.
She told them everything, and I mean, everything. After a long silence, Lucy said, "So he's in love with you, and you're in love with him?", and Lynn nodded. Then Luna said, "Oh wow, that…really changes things. So you didn't confess you loved him because you were afraid?", and Lynn nodded again. Even Luan knew this wasn't a joking matter, so she said, "So, what do we do now?", which made everybody start thinking…everybody except Lynn. Lynn said, still sitting on the ground leaning on the fence, "We find him, and we do everything we can to earn his forgiveness. We really hurt him…and…I broke his heart.". The last part she shed a tear with a winced face, but she continued as her sisters listened, "We really hurt him, and I broke his heart. We have to earn his forgiveness. We have to fix what we did and said. We caused him so much pain and suffering. We caused him to break…we broke him.".
They were all on the verge of crying, because Lynn was right, and they all knew it too. Then Lynn said, "I know how he feels. I felt his pain, and it made me sick to my stomach. He is filled with rage and sadness, and we made him feel that way. He was happy, he was so cheerful. Then we broke him. We broke his soul, and I…broke his heart. God we messed up, he is our only brother and we did this to him.". A tear shed from their eyes, and Luna said, "We have to fix this.", Luan said, "Agreed.", and Lucy said, "I may claim to be a dark and gothic girl, but even I couldn't do this to my brother, and then just leave him like that. I will gladly help.". Then Lynn tried to stand up, but fell back to her knees, so Luna and Luan helped her to her feet. Once she was on her feet, and standing by herself well enough, she said, "Let's go find our brother.", and they all nodded.
Lucy said, "You said it was Ronnie Anne right?", and Lynn said, "Yeah, do you know her?". That's when Luna and Luan grew furious. They hadn't really paid attention to who had pushed Lynn and taken Lincoln, but now that they knew, they were furious. Luna said, "Everybody knows Ronnie Anne is in love with Lincoln, and she's the seductive type, but only to him. You know, the 'Face of an angel, mind of a demon.' type. She's twenty percent angel, eighty percent demon. Everybody knows she is deeply in love with Lincoln, and that she'll kick anybodys ass if they mess or flirt with Lincoln.". That's when Lynn grew angry, her expression turned furious and she felt more power than ever.
She had a mission now, and that mission was to earn Lincoln's forgiveness, win his heart back, and get rid of Ronnie Anne. She will stop at nothing to do what it takes to win back Lincoln's heart. Her sisters knew that determined look on Lynn's face, so Luan said, "Don't worry Lynn, we will do everything we can to get you too together. Not even Ronnie Anne can stop us.". Lynn turned to Luan with a surprised expression, and Lucy said, "We know that it's incest, but we don't care. If you two love each other deeply, then we see no reason for you two not to be together.". So Lynn smiled brightly as her angered and surprised expression fell, and she looked over to where Lincoln was pulled away.
Then she said, "Alright, let's go find our brother…and my love.". With that said, they headed out in the direction Ronnie Anne and Lincoln went, hoping to find him before Ronnie Anne could make any moves on him.
