Burping Burgers
Lori sat in the diner fiddling with her spoon. She nervously looked around to see if anyone was coming. She stared at her glass of ice cold water, the feeling of the cold burned against her soft warm skin.
"Seems only right" She thought to herself. Its funny something as powerful as guilt can burn the icy cold heart of a demon.
"Why am I such a monster?" Lori sighed.
"You're no monster kiddo, maybe irrational at times but never a monster."
Lori's head jerked up. She smiled with joy and leaped from her booth. "Pop Pop! You made it!"
Albert smiled as his oldest grandchild hugged him tightly. His smile faded as he felt hot tears absorb into his shirt.
His arms wrapped around her waist tighty, but gently. "Its alright Lori just let it all out."
Once those words left his mouth, the waterworks began. She cried and cried until she couldn't make anymore tears.
The two hugged a little longer until Albert gently pulled away from Lori. "Ok kiddo now what seems to be gnawing at you?"
Lori looked up and wiped the tears from her face. "Ok Pop Pop I'll tell you everything." The blonde haired girl and the white haired Old man sit in the booth, and Lori tells him everything.
Albert sat back in the booth stroking his beard in thought. "Wow you kids and your electronic doohigys. So you knocked him out a window because he broke your screen on your phone?" He chuckled a little.
Lori looked down in shame, tears forming around her eyes. Albert was taken aback by this. He sat up a little and reached out to Lori.
"Hey don't beat yourself up about it kiddo, we all make mistakes."
She looked up at him with anger flashing in her eyes. "I sent my brother to the hospital because he accidentally broke my phone I almost killed him because of it! How was that a mistake?!
Albert looked at her with self-reproach. She backed up and lowered her head. "Pop Pop i'm sorry...I didn't mean to-
Albert smiled and shushed her. "Lori its ok, you're going through a pickle. Believe it or not your mother was like that at your age."
"What do you mean?"
Albert chuckled "When your mom was your age she had a pink glass snowglobe that her boyfriend had given her for their 5 year anniversary and your uncle Reese came into her room looking for something and broke it. Rita threw the biggest fit and chased him around the house threatening to rip his arms off."
He squinted his eyes ever so slighty, he scratched his face. It looked as if he were reliving the incident.
"But I thought Mom and Uncle Reese were really close." Lori stated.
"Yes they were but that didnt stop her anger taking over, shoving away every loving emotion she had for Reese. She didnt hurt him your grandmother and I put a stop to that. Once she had seen what she was doing she stopped and comforted Reese until he forgave her."
Lori stared at him with confusion written over her face. Why was he telling her all of this, what was the point? Albert saw the confusion over her face and explained.
"What i'm getting at is she went about this the wrong way. She tried to hurt her brother over an object, well a very special object but an object nonetheless. She realized hurting her brother would only worsen the situation. He made a mistake, she made a mistake, Lincoln made a mistake, you made a mistake."
Lori swallowed hard in her throat. She hadn't thought of that.
"You lost your temper. We all do. You shouldn't blame yourself for reacting the way you did. Everyone feels anger and it does no harm, as long as no one ends up hurt. Knowing Lincoln he would have already forgiven you."
Lori shook her head. "I can't go back there Pop Pop...Lynn and the others..they...they hate me. Mom and Dad hate me, Hell I'm sure Lincoln hates me too."
Albert sighed. "Lincoln doesn't hate you Lori, in fact it might be the other way around for all we know he might be thinking you hate him. You have to go back to make amends."
"But the other- He shushed her. "The others will come around but it will take some time. They love you Lori and nothing will change that."
She sat back in her chair. Maybe he was right. Of course there was only one way for this to work. She had to go home to her family.
"Ok Pop Pop I'm gonna try it." Albert smiled and he stood up to hug his granddaughter.
"Glad I'm you gonna try it this way kiddo. Love you sweetie, please don't hesitate to call if you need any advice or if you just want to talk."
Lori smiled for the first time in which seemed like forever (two or three days) She felt like she in control. But nothing could stop that feeling in her stomach. What if it doesn't work?
Loud Residence
Lynn sat on the floor next to her bed. She was tossing a ball against the wall and catching it. Lucy laid on her bed reading one of her vampire novels.
The silence was too much for Lucy, even for a girl who practically longed for the silence and darkness couldn't help but feel troubled.
"Sigh" She sighed aloud hoping to grab Lynns attention. But she didn't take note.
Lucy again sighs out loud. "Sigh."
Still no answer. This is getting ridiculous she thought to herself. Might as well try it one last time. "Sigh."
Lynn groaned in response knowing that if she didnt answer soon there was gonna be hell to pay. "What?" She growled.
Lucy turned over, facing upside down. "Zuul, I would like to speak Lynn please." Lucy replied with a small smile trying to make the mood lighter.
Lynn snarled at Lucy and turned to face away. Lucy smile slowly faded and her grim facial expression soon returned. "I'm sorry Lynn...I'm just trying to lighten the mood a little."
Lynn scoffed "I don't see why you out of all people would be trying to lighten anything up."
"Believe me I would rather everything be seen in my point of view but not all the time. Its too quiet in the house and not in a good way."
Lynn turned back around to look at her sister. "Don't worry Luce everything will be back to normal in no time, besides Lincolns coming home tomorrow. That should cheer everybody up."
"Everyone but Lori" Lucy replied. Lynn scowl returned once Lucy said her name. That no good selfish piece of dogshit, no she isn't even worth to be called that, Lynn read aloud in her head.
"Lori can suffer for all I care." She jumped up from the bed and walks to the door, and pauses in front of it. "But if she even lays one finger on him or steps out of line." she cracks her knuckles and punches a hole into the wall. "That is will be her face for the rest of her life."
Lynn stormed out of her room and shuffled downstairs. Luan and Luna came out of their room to see what all the fuss was about.
Luna looked down to where Lynn stormed off and back to where Lucy was standing. "Dude whats the ruckus all about?"
Lucy stared down at the stairs. "I mentioned Lori's name while talking to Lynn and she flipped out."
Luan and Luna shared a glance. All three girls then stared down at the stairs saying nothing at all. Nothing could be said, Nothing could be done. What was gonna happen now?
