TWO WEEKS LATER

Luna is going down the stairs, trying to put on a coat. Her parents notice her.

"Ehh… Where do you go, Luna?" Rita asked.

"I'll go to hang out with my friends and I'm late", she lied.

"Honey, it's 9:00 p.m. Don't you think is too late?" Lynn Sr. said.

"Never is late to be with the ones you love", Luna replied, a little angry.

"Alright. Take care, please. And don't come back home after 10:30 p.m.", Rita said.

"Yeah, Yeah. I know. Bye parents", Luna said, as she opens the front door and exits the house.

Both Lynn Sr. and Rita look concerned about Luna.

Meanwhile, on the second floor, Lincoln is talking with Luan in her room.

"I'm worried about Luna. She's been acting violent against us and recently she doesn't stay with us. Every day she has to go outside and never has time with her family."

"You have a point, Lincoln", Luan said. "She's not the same. Last week she kicked me out of our own room just to make a phone call. Another day she almost punched Lynn because she accidentally stumbled with her guitar in the garage. I don't know what's going on with her."

"I hope she's ok", Lincoln said, upset. "She and me used to be close siblings."

"Aww, Linc", Luan said, then she walks to him and hugs him. "Don't worry. I'm pretty sure she's ok. Maybe she has been too busy with the school and writing new songs. Being a rockstar can be stressful."

Lincoln smiles again. "Maybe you're right, Luan. And besides, she is a good girl. I don't think she's doing something gruesome."

In that moment, a cell phone vibrates on Luan's bed.

"I think someone sent you a message", he said and grabs the phone.

Luan looks to the phone. "Ehh, this is not my phone. Is Luna's".

"Oh no! She left her phone! Give it to me. Maybe I can get her and give it before she leaves."

Luan hand over the phone to Lincoln. He's about to exit the room, when suddenly another message is sent to the phone. Lincoln can't resist the curiosity.

"Hmm. I ask myself who is sending those messages to Luna", he said.

"You shouldn't do that, Linc. Remember what happened when you check another's phone without permission" Luan said.

"I know. But Luna is not here right now. So, let's give a little look to this, shall we?"

"Hmm. Ok!"

So both of them check Luna's inbox. They find out that the messages are from Sam. They read the first message that says: "Hey, my love. Are you gonna come? :/ I´m waiting for you. Nobody is here, so we can be alone."

"Isn't her one of Luna's bandmates?"

"She is."

"And why does she call her my love?"

"I don't know. Look! Here's another message from her."

They read the second message that says: "Are you gonna give me a tongue kiss? That would be tasty! ^^ ;)" . After reading the message, Lincoln and Luan get shocked and disgusted.

"Sibling meeting, now!" Lincoln screamed.

Three minutes later, Lincoln, Luan, and all the rest of the sisters are together in Lori's and Leni's room.

Lori hits the desk with her shoe. "Alright, everybody. Lincoln and Luan called us to talk about an important issue. What is it, guys?"

"Well, something is happening with Luna", Lincoln said.

"Eh, we already know that, Linc", Lynn said.

"Yeah. And whatever she's doing, it doesn't matter for me. We don't have to get involved in her businesses", Lola said.

"No, Lola! This is serious! Look it by yourselves", Luan said.

She shows to her other sisters the messages. All of them get shocked and disgusted.

"Sam is a girl…", Lucy said.

"And why did she tell Luna if she's gonna give her a tongue kiss? Augh! Gross!" Lynn said.

"And that's not even the worst", Lincoln replied.

He shows them the part where Sam wrote "Nobody is here, so we can be alone". The girls begin to suspect.

"According to my analysis, Sam is waiting Luna in a dislodge place to kiss her", Lisa said.

"And what does it mean?" Leni asked.

Lisa rolls her eyes. "It means that Luna is dating with her."

All the siblings get panicked after hearing this.

"It can't be. She likes men, right?" Lori asked.

"Yes, she does. But now it seems that she likes women as well", Lincoln said.

"And that means…" Lana said.

"Yes…" Lisa replied. "Luna is bisexual."

"Oh my God! That's terrible!" Leni said. Then she gets confused. "And what is a bisexual?"

"Is a term used to refer to people who feel attraction for both genders: male and female", Lisa explained.

"What?" Leni asked.

Lisa face palms. "It means she likes both boys and girls."

"Oh! Ok. Wait! That's weird! Well, I prefer boys rather than girls. Boys are handsome", Leni said.

"All of us prefer boys, except Lincoln", Lana said.

"Yeah. I'm a boy and I like girls. I don't know what to think about Luna. And besides, she lied to our parents. She told them she will hang out with some friends", Lincoln said. "My God, what's going on?"

The kids begin to discuss.

"Ok, guys. Calm down. We need to think this carefully. Is evident that Luna is doing something behind us. We need to figure out what is it. Any ideas?" Lori asked. Lincoln raises his hand.

"Yes, Lincoln?"

"This is something too delicate to handle it by ourselves. We shall inform to mom and dad."

"Are you sure?"

"Anybody else have a better idea?"

The sisters stay quiet.

"Alright…" he sighs.

I had no idea what was waiting for me after I dated again with Sam. It's something a father and mother don't want to do: confront their own daughter.

It's 11:10 pm. The house's lights are off and is completely dark inside. Luna enters to the house, avoiding to do any noise. She's about to climb the stairs, but she is stopped by her father and mother. He turns on the lights and glares to Luna with a displeased face.

"You came late, Luna", Lynn Sr. said.

"Yeah. Well…" she tries to think for a good excuse, but she can't. "The concert finished late. So, we left late and…"

"You never told us you went to a concert", Rita said, interrupting.

The rock girl doesn't know what to answer.

"Where did you really go, Luna?"

"Over there. Nothing serious."

"Nothing serious?! You came late to home, and this is not the first time, Luna. Tell us now what's going on!" Lynn Sr. said.

Luna can't tolerate it anymore. "Ok! Ok! I was dating with someone! Is that what you wanted to hear?!" she answered with rage.

The discussion caught the attention of the other Loud siblings. So they stay upstairs hearing to all the conversation.

"Don't talk to us in that way, lady! With who you was dating?" Rita asked. The rock girl turns her head to look to another place.

"Luna!"

"It was a girl! Ok?! It was a girl!"

Lynn Sr. and Rita can't believe it.

"You was… dating… with another girl?!"

"My God! Are you… lesbian?

"Yeah! I am! Is there any problem?! I fell in love with a girl, is nothing weird!"

The Loud siblings get impacted after listening to their own sister saying that she's a lesbian.

"Do you know what are you doing, Luna?" Lynn Sr. said.

"What did I do wrong?! This is a free country! I can do whatever I want and I can date with whatever person I want!"

"No, you can't!" Lynn Sr. said, yelling.

Luna gets quiet after Lynn Sr. yelled to her.

"I thought you like men."

"Well, I still do."

"So, why do you date a girl?!" Rita said.

"Because I fell in love with her."

"That's the problem, Luna! You did something that is… incorrect."

"I thought you will accept me as I am, but is clearly you don't care about me!"

"We do, Luna! But lying to us, coming late to home, and dating someone behind us is not correct!"

"By the way, why did you come late, huh?!" Lynn Sr. asked.

"Who cares!"

"Well, I do!" Lynn Sr. said and grabs her arm hardly. "I'm your father, Luna!"

"Let me go!" Luna screamed.

"What were you and that girl doing so late?! Did you have sex with her?! Is that it?! Huh?!

"LET ME GO!" and then she pushes her father away, but when she does this, a little bag with cocaine falls from her coat's pocket. Rita and Lynn Sr. notice this.

"What is that?" Rita said, picking up the bag.

When they saw that bag, my heart almost stopped. I didn't know what to say them.

Back to the flashback

"Ehh… That's not mine!" Luna said, very nervous.

"Luna! Have you consumed drugs?!" Lynn Sr. said.

Lincoln and the other sisters get scared after hearing that.

"And what if I did!? I told you. This is a free country! I can do whatever I want!" Luna replied.

"ENOUGH!" Lynn Sr. said, very angry.

A death silence invades the entire house in that moment. Then, the parents try to calm down themselves and don't get mad.

"Luna, go to your room… right now… and you won't get out of there until tomorrow…" Rita said.

"You are in very serious problems, lady. Now go…" Lynn Sr. said.

Luna is very angry. She climbs the stairs and when she gets upstairs, she looks to her siblings, who are afraid of her.

"What?! Do you have any problem with me, too?! Do you want to fight me, you faggots?! Huh?!" she said.

The younger sisters are afraid and are about to cry. They hug Lincoln, as the older ones stay in front of them. Lori is about to tell her something, but she's interrupted.

"I don't want that you bother me! You got it?!" Luna said.

None of them say anything, and Luna enters to her room and closes the door violently. The siblings get to our respective bedrooms after this. They are too afraid to talk.

"Linc, can I sleep with you today?" Luan said, scared.

"Yes, Luan, you can. Come on", Lincoln said.

They enter to Lincoln's room and close the door. In Luna's and Luan's room, Luna is getting enraged.

"WHY CAN'T I BE WHAT I WANT?! WHY DON'T YOU ACCEPT ME?! I CAN DO WHATEVER I WANT!" she said, hysteric.

Then she frantically kicks the dresser of her room, breaks a mirror, and throw some objects everywhere.

"AAAHHHHH!" she screamed.

In the parents' room, Lynn Sr. and Rita are trashed. Rita is crying as Lynn Sr. is trying to console her, and tears emerge from his eyes and fall from his cheek.

"What are we going to do?! That's not my daughter! That's not my daughter!" Rita said, crying.

"Calm down, honey. Calm down", Lynn Sr. said, almost crying. "We will find a solution. We will find a solution…" he said, and starts to cry anyway.

My parents were completely broken. I was so focus on myself, that I couldn't see the danger I was doing. Inside my room that night, I felt on my knees and I cried, because I thought no one in my family love me as a bisexual. That led me to do my second mistake: At 1:00 p.m., I packed all my stuff, exited my room and climbed down the stairs quietly, opened the front door without doing noise, exited the house… And in the moment when I walked away of the porch, I knew I was alone. I thought I had nothing to do there. I felt sad for a brief moment when I remember my siblings. But I already took my decision. The only thing I could say to them before leaving was… Goodbye.

To be continued...
