Lincoln was laying down in his bed with a pillow over his head to block about the yelling of his father giving Lori hell, he then heard his door crack open to hear a voice call his name.
"Lincoln, are you okay sweetie?" His mother asked him.
Lincoln didn't respond and just laid still.
"Sweetie, I know your upset right now, but trust me none of this is your fault" his mother explained to him.
"..."
nothing.
"Okay sweetie, I'll leave you alone, I love you" his mother then awkwardly shut the door.
Lincoln twist and turned in his bed and decided to get up from his bed and head to the bathroom, he opened his door and was quietly walking down the hallway when he heard Lori and his father yelling.
"That was uncalled for, Lori!" the father yelled at her while walking over to take her phone and charger.
"You're taking my cell phone?! But I went into my room without you, that's what you said!" Lori yelled at him while she was still fumed at what happened downstairs.
Lincoln stealthily watched the argument from the corner of the bedroom doorway, he kind of felt bad and still wanted to apologize to Lori even though she told him some pretty nasty stuff.
Her father unplugged her charger and held it in his arms.
"This ain't about the room Lori" her father told her while walking over to her stand to grab her phone, "It's what you said to Me, your mother, and especially Lincoln".
Her father reached for the phone and stuffed it in his back pocket.
"And until you apologize to your brother and us, you're not getting your phone back, do you understand Lori" Her father told her.
Lori got so mad that she picked up a bottle of nail polish and threw it at her wall.
Lincoln got startled and jumped a bit in fear, but their father just looked at her waiting for her to cool down.
"Well, looks like you owe Leni some new nail polish" her father told her and walked towards the door to leave.
Lincoln saw him and hid behind the door so he wouldn't be spotted, their father walked out and didn't notice Lincoln at all. Lincoln then peeked in Lori's room to see her laying face down on her bed, he quietly walked into her room and went up to her.
"Lori...?" Lincoln said while tapping her arm.
Lori got startled and jumped up from her bed.
"JESUS!" Lori yelled in fear.
Lori then calmed down and looked at Lincoln in anger, not towards him though.
"Jeez Lincoln, you and Lucy are going to give me a heart attack one of these days" Lori told him, "And why are you in my room anyway, get out!" Lori told him and then went back to laying down.
Lincoln looked down at his feet and then back at his big sister.
"I came to apologize to you Lori" Lincoln told her.
Lori was shocked to hear that and sat up on her bed to look at Lincoln.
"Thanks...? But why are you apologizing?" Lori asked him in confusion.
"I want to apologize for hurting you for the past couple weeks" Lincoln then looked down, "I didn't know that I was hurting you, I'm sorry".
Lori looked at him and felt kind of bad, she was going to say something but Lincoln started crying.
"And I'm sorry for being here..." Lincoln said while trying to hold back his tears, "I didn't mean to be a bother to anyone, I'm sorry for being in this family".
At that moment Lori finally realized what she did to Lincoln, she felt like absolute garbage after what Lincoln said, she felt like her heart sank and then got the shit beat out of it.
Lincoln was about to say something else but then got interrupted by the sound of crying, he looked up in confusion.
"Why are you crying Lori, is it because of me?" Lincoln asked her.
Lori then wrapped her arms around Lincoln and pulled him in for a huge hug.
"I'm sorry Lincoln, I didn't mean to say those awful things to you!" Lori told him while crying her eyes out, " I was just mad...and you were on the stairs...and..."
Lincoln hugged her back and started crying in her chest, this made Lori cry more and they both cried while holding each other.
"I'm so sorry Lincoln, I would never say those awful things to you" Lori told him.
Lincoln broke up the hug and looked at her while wiping away tears from his eyes.
"So, you don't wish that I wasn't born?" Lincoln asked her.
Lori looked at Lincoln and gave him a little smile.
"Lincoln, I'd rather rather have no room then no brother" Lori told him.
What Lori said made Lincoln feel a lot better and smiled.
"Really, Lori?" Lincoln asked her.
"Yes Dork, really" Lori told him.
Lincoln had a big smile on his face and hugged Lori.
"I love you Lori" Lincoln told her.
"I love you too Lincoln" Lori responded
They both hugged each other for a couple minutes until Lori broke it up.
"Okay, now if you'll excuse me, I have to go apologize to mom and dad about what I said to them downstairs" Lori told him while walking to her door.
Lincoln was walking towards her when he saw the big nail paint stain on her wall.
"Uh, Lori, what about Leni's nail polish?" Lincoln asked her.
Lori looked at the stain and just smiled.
"I'll just get a little glass bottle and put purple paint in it, she'll never notice" Lori told him.
Lincoln laughed a little, but then stopped when he saw that Lori wasn't laughing.
"Sorry"
Lori smiled and then put her arm around Lincoln and made him walk with her.
"Hey Lori?"
"Yeah Dork?"
"You were kidding, right?"
Lori didn't say anything and just laughed a little to herself.
"Well, were you?" Lincoln asked her again, but a little more confused.
