Lori exited Lincoln's room and sighed. "He refused to let it go." She informed her sisters.

"I guess it's my turn." Lana spoke up. She walked into her brother's room to find Lincoln still sitting on the bed. By now he had figured that they would be taking turns. "Lincoln?" Lana called.

"Yeah?" He responded.

"Do you remember when Goldie was flushed down the toilet?"Lana asked as she climbed up onto Lincoln's bed and sat next to him.

"Of course. Why?" Lincoln questioned.

"Do you remember how yo cheered me up?" Lana asked ignoring her brother's question.

"Yeah, I-" Lincoln cut himself off as he felt Lana wrap her arms around him.

Lana looked up at her brother as she rested her cheek on him. "Let's get more comfortable." She spoke. Lincoln wordlessly complied and they both shifted so their head were resting on Lincoln's pillow. "This is all my fault."Lana whispered as she looked up at the ceiling.

"What is?" Lincoln asked.

Lana suddenly turned to face her brother, surprised he had heard her. Lincoln looked at her with a confused expression. "If I hadn't got caught, you wouldn't be so closed off." Lana answered.

Lincoln's expression softened and so did his voice. "None of this is you're fault Lana. And I'm sure you can manage without me, while I figure this out." He said.

"Doesn't mean I want too." Lana responded.

Lana soon drifted to sleep, while Lincoln couldn't sleep. No matter how much he wanted to. Just like the night before, Lincoln's mind was plagued by his hatred of Hank and Hawk. And how pathetic he felt against them.

Soon.

Lola walked into Lincoln's room, and he turned to face her. "Wh-" Lola spoke up but was cut off by Lincoln shushed her.

Lola complied as Lincoln moved out of the way to reveal a still sleeping Lana. "What is it Lola?" Lincoln quietly asks.

"It's time for lunch." Lola answers with a whisper.

Lincoln wordlessly looks at his alarm clock and realised Lola is right. Lincoln turned back to Lana and gently called to her. "Lana. Come on Lana, it's time for lunch."

Lana murmured and shifted as she awoke from her slumber. Lana blinked. And then blinked again. A smile began to creep across her face as she looked at her big brother. "Did you sleep well Lincoln?" She asked. Her voice showed she was expecting a positive answer.

"I didn't sleep." Lincoln answered.

"Oh." Lana spoke as her face turned to disappointment. "I really hopped that would work."

"Don't worry about me Lana." Lincoln responded with a small smile. "Now let's get some lunch. Unless Lola wants to take her turn now."

Lola shuck her head. "I can't do my idea until tomorrow" She responded. "But I hope you're back to normal by then." With that they all went downstairs to join the others.

Once Lincoln entered the dinning room, while holding Lola's and Lana's hands, all of their sisters stopped what they was doing and looked at him. Lincoln sighed as he ignored them and took his seat next to Luna while Lola scrambled to the seat next to him before Lana had the chance.

As they all had lunch, a awkward silence filled the air. Luna eventually had enough of the tension and broke it. "This needs to stop Bro." She spoke out. Their other siblings immediately looked at the two.

"I can't." Lincoln answered without looking away from his food.

"What do you mean you can't?!" Luna furiously interrogated. She shot out off her chair and loomed over her younger brother. "You give me one good reason you can't!?"

Lori knew this wasn't going to end well and tried to defuse the situation. "Luna-"

"No Lori!" Luna shot back as she pointed at the oldest Loud sibling. "Lincoln can speak for himself!" Luna returned her gaze to Lincoln, and noticed that he still wasn't even looking at her. This angered Luna further, and she became more ruthless in her interrogation. "So come on Lincoln, speak!" Lincoln gave no response. "Say something!" Still, nothing. "NOW!" The surrounding sisters were filled with dread about what was going to happen next. Yet whenever Luna yelled, the somehow found a way to tense up even more. "COME ON LINCOLN, SAY SOMETHING! WHY! CAN'T! YOU! STOP!"

"BECAUSE IF I GIVE UP EVERYONE WILL BE TRYING TO PICK ON US!" Lincoln finally spoke up. He had shot out his chair. Knocking over his chair. Lincoln's face was red with rage, as he glared back at Luna. "I'M TRYING TO NOT LET THEM DOWN! AND THE LAST THING I NEED IS YOU SCREAMING I MY EAR, JUST BECAUSE YOU'RE TRYING TO GO DEATH WITH YOUR ROCK MUSIC, DOSE'NT MEAN I WANT TO LOSE MY HEARING TOO!" Lincoln roared at Luna.

Luna was taken back by Lincoln's comment. But she soon recovered, and was about to retort, before a loud noise caught all of their attentions. "WWWWWWHAAAAAAAAAAAA!" It was Lily. The argument had caused her to break down and start crying. Leni quickly tended to her baby sister while the others stood their with blank expressions.

Before anyone knew it, Lincoln was running up the stairs and to his room. Each thud of his footsteps echoed through out the house, along with Lily's crying. It only stopped after the harsh slam of Lincoln's door.

Luna looked around the room and felt a immense amount of guilt build up inside her. As Lily began to calm down, Luna decided to speak up. "I...I...I-"

Luna stuttered until Lori approached her and placed a hand on her shoulder. "We know Luna. We know."

Later.

Leni walked up the stairs with a plate of food in hand. It was now dinner time and Lincoln had not left his room from lunch. Fortunately he had done his business earlier. Leni knocked on her brothers door. "I'm not coming down for dinner! So just leave me alone!" Lincoln yelled from inside his room.

"Lisa though you would say that. So like, I brought yours up for you." Leni responded.

"Just leave it outside my door, and I'll get it in a minute." Lincoln spoke through the door.

Leni sighed as she placed the food on the floor. "I wish I knew how to help you Linky." Leni quietly spoke, not realising Lincoln could hear her. "But i'm just not that smart. All I can do is make clothes." With that Leni turned around to head back downstairs.

Before Leni reached the stairs, she felt a pair of arms wrap around her waist and something rest on her back. "You're perfect just the way you are." Lincoln spoke.

Leni was taken back by this, but soon placed her hand on top of Lincoln's. "So are you Lincoln." She responded with a tear in her eye.
