The prolog to a coming out story as told by a schizophrenic little sister

LINKA POV

I was in my room doing my right hand's nails. My younger brother Lexx did the left one but he wasn't very good at it. Seriously, my left hand was teal everywhere EXCEPT the nails. I would have gotten Loki, Loni or Lane to do it but Lexx wanted too and I could not say no to a face like that.

Speaking of Lane, I heard him and Luke fighting in the hallway. "Come on, Lane! You told me, now ya gotta tell Mom and Dad!" He said while attempting to pull Lane from the door frame.

"That's my brother Lane. About a month ago in our super secretly secret club of secret secrets and the secret secret keepers of secretly secret secrets, he told us a secret secret that was more secret than anything else in in our super secretly secret club of secret secrets and the secret secret keepers of secretlysecret secrets."

ONE MONTH AGO…

"Guys, Linka, I…uh…I don't know how to tell you this but…uh…I'm…uh…well…um…"

"He's bi," Luke interrupted, to Lanes annoyance.

Lane looked ashamed and scared. He knew it was stupid, though, as his siblings loved him and none of them ever said anything anti-gay before (except for "faggot" when on Xbox, but who doesn't?)

Lexx and Leif looked at him with confusion, which was understandable considering they have no idea what that is. Leon couldn't really understand us, and just by looking at Levi it was obvious he didn't care. I tried to keep it cool but was still a little shocked. Loki, Loni, Lynn, and Lars were shocked (even more obvious than me).

"You're leaving?" Lexx asked, head tilted along with Leif.

Lane gave a quick chuckle which was turned back into annoyance when his over protective roommate butted in, "No, he's not leaving. Bi is…You know how mommies like daddies? Well, Lane likes both." Luke said in a very explainy tone.

"Wait, I like Mommy and Daddy too. Am I a bee?" Leif asked, head tilted much farther. Luke looked frustrated as if he thought he was talking to someone older.

Lane then cut in "I want to date boys and girls." The twins were still confused but I could tell that explanation made a little more sense to them.

Loki then asked, "So how long have you known this?"

"8 months or so. I wasn't completely sure until about a month ago."

"So, is your companion that we've been seeing more of lately, Marcus, your boyfriend?" Levi asked.

"Yes, he is," Lane nodded, "Well…secretly. Mom and Dad don't know." Loni trying to help said "Wow oh my gosh you two are so cute!" Resulting in Lane blushing.

I then spoke up, "Mom and Dad love you, Lane. They'll accept for who you are. Honestly, after Luke, they should have been the first to know."

Lane sighed, looking at me lovingly like I was the most precious thing in his world, "Linka, I get what you're saying, but…um…Mom and Dad are not very accepting people."

I looked back at him, seeing his teary eyes. My dorky big brother who was always cracking jokes was crying. I haven't seen him like this in years, at least not since he started taking his medicine. He always smiled, even when there was nothing to smile about, he smiled because he thought that if smiled long enough he would have SOMETHING to smile about. But this…this wasn't him staring at me; this was a depressed guy who thought he was all alone in the world.

LEON POV

I don't know what was going on but I know one thing: my favorite bubby was sad and when that happened to me he would hug me and make me and laugh. I wasn't sure how to make him laugh though so a hug would have to do. I waddled over to bubby and gave him the biggest hug ever! He looked at me and smiled.

IT WORKED! I made bubby feel better!

But then he started crying. I made bubby sad. Am I bad? I don't know but I started to cry, too. He stroked my little hairs it felt nice. Everyone else came and hugged bubby too. Why is he still sad?

BACK TO THE PRESENT…

LINKA POV

"So yeah, that's what happened. It's been a month, and Lane STILL hasn't told Mom or Dad. We've tried to convince him to, but anytime we bring it up he gets worried and upset, so we drop it. 'Sigh' I hope my bro can figure this out."

Just then I heard Luke get his fingers slammed in the door by Lane and judging by the yelling and cursing it probably hurt...
