Lynn: How... How do you know?!

Ronnie Anne: Back at the arcade, he mentioned things you did he considered unusual. He said you wet his bed and... You're gross. And also, the way you would look at him. You turned away when we kissed. You didn't think I would notice, did you?

Lynn: I'm begging you... Please don't say anything. You don't understand.

Ronnie Anne: I understand just fine. Don't bother speaking to him. If I were him, I'd get you some help. No, I don't think I can do such a thing. I won't tell him. If you steer clear of him. I wouldn't hesitate to beat you senseless, but... You're his sister, and I like him so much. This is your one chance. Get?

Lynn: ...oh. You know, this isn't what I wanted. Wait, why won't you tell?

Ronnie Anne: Because I don't want to hurt him, to disgust him. He'll be devastated if he knew. I'll have to hold your ugly secret.

Lynn: HAHAHAHAH YOU'LL GO DOWN WITH ME IF HE FINDS OUT. HE'LL BE MAD AT YOU FOR KEEPING IT QUIET.

Ronnie Anne: I hate you.


1 1/2 Weeks Ago

Lynn ate her meatball sandwich. She watched Lincoln, Clyde and Ronnie Anne sitting together laughing. She looked away, after Lincoln looked her way. She quickly devoured the sandwich, and took her Monsterade, leaving to the bleachers, where she could have her own solo time without thinking.

Its been several days since the deal. She found herself focused on her own activities more. The more she did, the less she felt able to keep going. She was becoming tired. Her legs ached heavily. She started to detiorate. It was no issue at all, until-

"Lynn! Why are you still here? You have school!" Lori stood outside the doorway, waiting for the girl to get ready. "Go awayyy." Lynn's voice was croaked, and sounded identical to Lucy's at the same time. Lori shook her from the bed. "We need to go!" That's when the unexpected thing happened. Lincoln was paasing by, wanting to know what the holdup was. Lori came tumbling down, with a black eye. "Lori! Are you-" Lynn dragged her feet from her room and shut the door. Lori, covering her bruise, stood silent, wondering why what just happened, happened.

"Are you okay?" She gently wiped away a tear. "She punches hard... Did I do something?" He knocked on Lynn's door. "Lynn, are you okay?" There was no reply. He entered the room. Lynn was gone, the window was wide open. "She went out the window!" He looked outside. No one in sight. Lynn was gone. "I don't see her..." He whispered softly, somehow hoping she could hear him. "Lynn, whats happening to you...?

Everything worked out, until it didn't. She was cornered, without any options. Ronnie Anne made sure Lynn had no choice. And she silently mocked the girl, letting her know who had power; in the full irony, the secret was not allowed to reach Lincoln. And yet...

Lynn snapped, and was on her way to Ronnie Anne's. She didn't know she'd be coming here, since that day the three hung. Past the little kids waiting for their bus. Past the adults. She finally reached her place. Bobby and Ronnie Anne were just coming out. Lynn hid under a bush, waiting for her to get closer. "Con prisa, tengo que llegar temprano al salon." Bobby laughed. "No te preocupes, llegaras a tiempo." Lynn emerged from her hiding spot, striking Ronnie Anne's face with a serious blow. She spit up blood, turning to her attacker. "You're not gonna torture me anymore..." Ronnie Anne dropped her backpack. "That was a nice punch, for a white girl. You'd better hit harder than that if you-" Lynn kicked Ronnie Anne off balance. "Less talking, bean bitch." She waited for the girl to get up, rather than putting her out. Ronnie Anne then tackled her after getting up. She headbutted her. Bobby finally tried to separate them. Lynn wasn't taking that, so she kicked him in the groin. "I'd like to see you and Lori have babies now!" Ronnie Anne watched her brother writher in pain. "No one hurts my family!" Ronnie Anne turned into Batman, beginning to punch Lynn left and right, and threw a punch upwards, hitting Lynn's bottom jaw and sending her on her back. Ronnie Anne stopped to see, believing she had stopped this barbaric attack. Lynn swept her off her legs, and holding her by the neck, she began to pound on Ronnie Anne's atomach. "You... will... not... hold... me... hostage!" Lynn ended it with a knockout. "Ronuhh... Ronnie Anneee..." Bobby sat up, watching Lynn let go of his unconscious sister. "You... You're Lori's sister..." She ran. Bobby slowly limped his way to his sister, noticing the blood on her face. "Hermanita... que te hico?"

Lincoln didn't see Ronnie Anne nor Lynn later that day. "Clyde, my sister's been acting strangely. And now, she's become rather hostile?" Clyde was curious. "Tell me its not Lori, is it?" Lincoln sighed. "No its Lynn. She ran off today. Won't answer my calls or texts. I'm worried about her. Lori and Leni skipped school to look for her."

"Relax, buddy. Lynn's always been a nice girl. She gives off that vibe. There's nothing to worry about."

There's something to worry about. He recognized me. Then he'll tell Lori. Damn! I led myself to my own Waterloo. Its only a matter of time when...

A familar honk rang in her ears. Vanzilla pulled up beside her. "Get in! We have a lot to talk about." Lori sounded mad, but not too serious. Lynn didn't know what do to know. She had just vented, and wanted to believe she was freed from Ronnie Anne's warden eyes.

She got in. The war in her head was on its third battle. More causalities this time.

Ronnie Anne opened het eyes. "Bobby?" She was on the couch, awaking to band-aids and cream on her body. "Hey, how are you feeling?" He was right behind her, unable to be seen from her eyesight. "I'm fine. I'll live." He touched his phone. "That was Lynn Loud, right? I should tell Lori about this." Ronnie Anne, in a high pitched tone, screamed. "NO! You can't tell-" She coughed. "-Anyone. Please. I never ask anything of you. This one favor. Don't tell her. Don't..." He sensed the fear in her voice. "Okay. But you have to tell me why. Otherwise, I will call her. Do you understand?" She wondered what to do.

"Where have you been?!" Lynn remained silent. "I was just... tossing beanbags." She giggled. "What does that even...? Okay then, don't tell us. But you can't get out of the house. All three of us are going to discuss about what happened this morning." Lynn looked down.

Lincoln snuck his phone through the desk. Nothing. Ronnie Anne didn't show up. Weird. She never got sick. Something was happening. Something he didn't know.

Ronnie Anne, Lincoln, and Lynn stared upwards, thinking the same thing.

Ronnie Anne kept silent, rather than telling him. So he rang Lori, as soon as she pulled into the driveway. "Bobby Boo-Boo Bear! I've missed-"

"Your sister attacked me and Ronnie Anne. I don't know what goes on with her in your home but she seriously hurt my baby sister. She ran off, I don't know where. If you find her, tell her I'd like an explanation, an apology or I'll have to report this..."

He hung up. Lori dropped the phone, in shock of what she had just been told. "Lynn, what the hell have you done?"

Leni escorted Lynn to their room. Lori came in a few minutes later. "Lynn, what's going on? You're going around beating people up. 'Beanbags' huh? I get in now." She sat down beside Lynn. "I want to help you. I really do." Lynn was very afraid. The truth was gonna be revealed, and all this happened so that she can enjoy herself. "You haven't been yourself. Something happened. Please, let me in. Or we'll have to take you to a professional." Lynn formed words in her mind. She let them out.

"Fuck you, Lorelei." Leni let a gasp. Lori turned away. "Lynn..." The girl began to yell now. "There's nothing wrong with me! Leave me alone!" She marched from their room and entered hers. Leni sat beside the now crying Lori. "This isn't on you, Lori. She'll tell us what's bothering her." Lori faced her closest sister. "What if it doesn't end here? Lynn could do some harm. And..."

"Don't. Don't say that. We have to let the others know. For their safety."

"You're not gonna tell me what that was about, right?" Ronnie Anne laughed. "I can't even answer that." "You picked so many fights. Nothing this serious. It was a disagreement, I know it was." She never planned to tell him. Even if they were that close. Not yet, at least. This was a secret not worth her compromised safety. She couldn't let him know she would tell him.

School was over. Everyone was picked up. Lincoln was the only person who remembered the morning's event. "Did you find Lynn?" Lori kept her eyes on the road. Leni turned to Lincoln. "She's home." Finally, some good news. "Where was she?" Leni turned to Lori, waiting some form of confirmation to say something. "She was... tossing some beanbags..." Lincoln found that answer funny. "Luan, if you even joke, I'll kick you out." The comedienne closed her mouth.

They arrived home. "Everyone, before you see Lynn, you have to know. She did something serious today. We can't tell you what it is. But please be careful and courteous around her. Don't anger her at all. Okay?" Luna whispered to Luan. "Period, dudes." Everyone quietly exited the van. Only Lori, who stayed, took out her phone and sent a text.

Lincoln's phone vibrated, and he looked over, hoping it was Ronnie Anne. It wasn't.

Hey twerp, this concerns you further.

He looked back at Lori, who motioned him to come back. She exited, as the others entered the house. "What do you mean?" Here came the hard part. "Lincoln... Lynn beat up Ronnie Anne..."

Lynn beat up Ronnie Anne... beat up Ronnie Anne... Lynn...

"No, I- I don't believe- Lynn!" He raced away and headed for her room. "Lincoln, wait!" He reached upstairs, seeing a crowd formed just outside her room. He burst through, and saw a disturbing sight; on the wall on her side of the bed was the word "Mine" written with one of Lucy's black markers. On the floor, there was Lynn, bawling her eyes out, on her knees, unable to see them. Lincoln now knew. Something was truly bothering her. Something led her to attack his crush. And he decided to find out what exactly that was.


AN: Going all out brutal tonight. I don't know how many more chapters are left after this one. But it won't go the double digits, that's for sure. Have you gathered the timeframe? Its a time period of over three weeks, starting at 4/11. And I'm trying to make it so this ends in real time like in the fic. Or at least, have that first scene attached to the chapter I'll release on the three week mark since 4/11. So, the end is vastly approaching. And its been fun writing this huehuehue. This chapter was going to end as Bobby called Lori, but, I don't know which way is better. This ain't no walk in the park. Enjoy.
