Sorry for posting this chapter late again, I still have allergies and I did got medication which is working pretty well but of course in the clinic the nurse did not warn me about the side effect of a steroid shot (relieve of open airways and mucus from my nose, and irritating eyes) that would cause me to go dizzy and sick for a day. Could not drive anymore at that time, or see who am I dialing on my phone so yeah that sucked. I live in Tx so there bound to be ragweeds all over the place!
Any ways, if you have problems with this chapter because of how the story goes, it may be because your answer is far ahead in the future chapters but I will not complain.
Now on with the story (coughs) god, where's my bag of cough drops?
At the loud house, 9:16 PM…an hour after the accident and two before the last chapter.
(living room)
All the loud sisters (except Lily, who was sleeping in her crib) are gathered for a meeting to discuss the situation. We see Lori pacing left and right in front of the tv with a worry expression, while the rest of them are on the couch. Each one had a scared look on their face which is only Lana, Lola, and lean. Luna, Leni, and Lucy were showing signs of sorrow and concern. Lynn Jr and Lisa expression are different, only have disgust and careless look on their faces. Of course, all are ready to begin the discussion, while all of them are in their PJ's since it's almost time for bed.
Lori then stops and faces front.
{i'm not going to shorten their names because I know their names only have four letters in each of them, so it could work easily for me}
Lori- (worried) "ok girls, we messed up pretty bad, mom and dad will definitely ground all of us even worst than before!"
Lola-(mad) "that's because Lynn here (points at Lynn) punch Lincoln!"
(Everyone faces Lynn)
Lynn-(irritated) "so? I don't care, that idiot deserves it anyway. I'm going missed my game bec-"
Somehow Lynn was cut off when Luna stood up from the couch and grabbed Lynn off the couch as well by the collar of her shirt, hoisting her up to Luna's level. Luna was not happy to hear what Lynn just said as she held an angry look on her face, Lynn was getting nervous at this point. The rest just stood and watched in shock.
Luna- (angry) "Lincoln wouldn't be bleeding out because of you! But instead, you care about your stupid pathetic game more than him!"
Leni- (also angry) "don't you even care about him?!"
Lori- (looks at Leni and Luna) "what are you two talking about? all I care about is what that twerp is going to get what's coming!"
Luna and Leni were shocked to hear what Lori had just said even Lucy, but the rest only said-
"Yeah!"
Luna, Leni, and Lucy- (shocked) "what!"
At this rate, Luna drops Lynn to the floor and faces Lori. Luna felt rage deep inside knowing how cruel her sisters are except Leni and Lucy. How can they be thinking of this right now, Don't they notice how serious this is? He was brutally beaten up and now realizing it was too far, but not for them?
Luna-(angry) "are you kidding me!? You all haven't come to your senses?!"
Lucy-(worried) "how can you all be thinking of this right now? We beat our only brother because of an accident that Lincoln did not mean to do, and he even tried to apologize!"
Lynn-(looks at Lucy) (careless) "pff, that's because he's a screw-up and an idiot."
Lola-(mad) "he electrocuted us, burn my dress, and we have to be punished? When I get my hands on his stupid face I'll-"
Luna-(shouting with anger) "ENOUGH, I will not let you all harm him even more!"
Leni and Lucy got up from the couch and stood next to Luna
Leni and Lucy- (mad) "me too!"
Luan-(mad) "that's fine it's only three of you and six of us, so what exactly are you traitors planning on protecting that idiot, huh?"
Luna-(mad) (cracking knuckles) "wanna find out?"
Lisa-(careless) "oh please, are you not hearing properly? You three are out numbered. Once he comes back home, tomorrow we can easily go after him since mom and dad have to work in the morning. He's going to get justice for the destruction of our property and my contract!"
Lucy-(looks at Lisa) (mad) "it's your fault that we have to go through this situation, you build that stupid machine that shocked us and we injured our brother because of that!"
Lana-(annoyed) "blah blah blah, he is supposed to be grounded, not us!"
Leni-(mad) "well I'd rather be grounded over a year than getting linky hurt by all of you heartless jerks!"
Lucy-(mad) "and if you all are going to hurt him, you all have to get through us!"
Lori-(smirks) "well that could be arranged"
Present 11:21 PM, Lincoln's mind still in a black void both Lincoln and Max are now sitting on the floor since they got tired of standing for a while.
{Lincoln = L, Max = M}
L-(board) "alright, your turn"
M-(also board) "alright let's see….uh hmmm, I gave you a red pill and blue pill. If you take both pills it will give you superpowers or shit. I gave you another pair just in case, but if you consume two same colors you will die. Also, you were kidnapped and placed in a dark room that closes with in 10 seconds to your death, you can't see the color of the pills because it's dark so… What are you going to do?"
L-(puts his finger to his chin and begins to think) "hmmm…...this is not easy to-"
M-(smiles) "time's up fucker, you're dead!"
L-(frustrated) "Oh come on, how is this riddle even fair and would you stop cursing!"
M- (amused) "I just can't help it, I just don't have a mute button for cursing language in my system (laughs)"
L-(irritated) "ugh, just tell me the solution again, you're only winning because you're an intelligent college student for who knows what degree!"
M-(finish laughing) heh heh good point, but this riddle is very simple all you have to do is bite all half of the pills and you live, so simple!(smile)"
L-(confused) "how is biting half of all the pills going to save my life?"
M-(laid back on the floor and puts both hands behind his head) "if you have two blue pills on your left hand if possible, and red pills on the other right hand. you bite both the pills in your hands in half. what will you have in your mouth?"
L-(thinking) well I would have both halves of the blue-(realized) ooh I see now, I would have two halves of the blue pills creating one whole pill, and same goes with the red pill"
M-(proud) heh heh yeah you got it, maybe this why Professor Burgess likes to teach the class for his career and how Alex feels when he looks after me. (Sits up) I'm proud of you Lincoln.
L-(happy) "Re-really?"
M-(smile) "sure, you remind me of myself when I was your age when I found math and riddles so entertaining. My brother, Alex, taught me many ways and logic behind them"
At this point, Lincoln starts to wonder what would it be like to have a brother since Max talked about his, but of course, he only heard a few details when he explained over the incident of the testing. His brother sounded more caring and supportive when it comes to Max's hard work but what is he like besides that?
L-(curious) "what was your brother like when you were my age?"
M- "my brother is always there for me when it comes to anything, games, movies, playing in the park, you name it. Although in those age kids at school teased me for my brains. Alex always stands up for me whenever that happens, even if it gets physical. Alex never back down from a fight, especially when it involves me getting into physical harm, he was willing to get in trouble for me. we always loved and support each other, (sad, looks down) I wonder what is he doing after the past 11 years without me.
This sounds very familiar to Lincoln, how could he not forget that Chandler and his goons tease him for his white hair, but he did get help from Lynn when he is in that situation.
L-(worries) "hey, uh Max?"
M- "what's up kid?"
L-(worries) "what will happen if I wake up? Will you…-"
M- "die? Probably, but I'm not going to question it."
L- (confused) "what do you mean? Don't you think that's scary?"
M- (looks at Lincoln, and smile) "no, because I have lived happily in my life. My brother, mother, father, Abuelo, Abuela, everyone in my family cared for me and I cared for them, so I don't have to worry about dying miserably because I was with them and I have precious memories to remember them."
This made Lincoln tear a bit out of sadness since all he could remember was how his family hardly have precious moments. They locked him out because of luck, attack him without any explanation, accused him of mistakes he did not attend, manipulated him, backstab him, left him, use him…. Injures him physically and now mentally. Lincoln then start to cry and Max notices this and begins to worry.
M-(worried) "Lincoln, are you o-"
Max was suddenly interrupted when Lincoln moved towards him and proceeds to latch around Max's waist and fresh tears begin to soak on his green shirt. Max understood his pain, Lincoln did previously tell about his tragic event so it wouldn't be much surprise
M- (strokes Lincoln's hair) "Shh shh, todo estara bien, your sisters may have done unforgivable things but I'm sure that they will not be forgiven for their crime."
Lincoln notice what he just said and looked up to see Max's face in confusion while having fresh tears still streaming out.
L-(crying but confused) "c-cr-crime?" (Hic)
M-(sighs) "look Lincoln what your sisters did was a crime, they committed assault and battery that would lead to probably a year or two in juve, maybe months if they were taken "off-case" and learned their mistakes, who knows but I'll be fucking mad if they just get away with it, but I bet your parents would know this, right?"
L-(sad and more tears flowed) "they won't do it, mom and dad always take their side of the argument against my, I doubt that they will ever understand my pain I have to go through. It's one of the ways of being me."
M-(sympathy) "jeez kid, your family must be bunch of pendejos burros. Kid, I promise that whatever ha-"
(Baby cries)
both Lincoln and Max stood up in confusion and startled and looks around.
M-(nervous) "did you hear that it sounded like an infant was crying!"
L-(unsure) "but it sounds so familiar like it was Lily's cries and-"
(Unexplained woman's voice)
L- "and that sounds like a woman's voice"
M- (unsure) "kid I think we might be-"
(A quiet echoing voice that seems to be yelling) "...Lincoln...please...home…!
L- (realizing) "wait, I know that voice, it's Leni!"
M-(confused) "Leni? Your sist- (looks at Lincoln with shock) WOW LINCOLN YOU'RE GLOWING!"
At this point, Lincoln begins to glow bright white and begins to float.
L-(surprised) "wait I think I'm waking up, (realize with fear) but wait what will happen to you?!
Max then gave a heartwarming smile and begins to sit down with tears flowing from his eyes
M-(smile) "...have a nice life kid"
L-(shock) "NO! (floats down and grabs Max's arm) I am not leaving you to sleep or die here forever…(tears) you need to come with me...you deserve to be alive with your family!"
Max was shocked to see his arm where Lincoln was holding begins to glow and rapidly spreading around Max's body, a color green to be precise. Both max and Lincoln then float higher and higher and then…
Leni's sad echoing voice- "Lincoln wake up please, I want you home"
The black void emits a large beam of golden light above, shipping both of them
L-(looks up) "well, here we go"
M-(unsure) "I am not sur-"
(Then it all went white)
In the hospital room, 12:38 AM, where Lincoln lays asleep on the hospital bed, we see Leni, Luna, and Lucy next to the bed where they can get a good close on Lincoln with fresh tears streaming out of their eyes, but we also see some bruises and scratches in them for...some reason. Next to them was Lynn Sr holding crying lily while his wife is outside of the room and we could hear was yelling with anger for some reason as well.
Leni- (looks at dad with sorrow) "will linky wake up?"
Lynn Sr- (looks down with sadness) "I told you...I don't know"
Luna- (looks at Lincoln and starts to tear up) "I ...I...regret...what I've...d-d-done."
Lynn Sr- (sad) "Luna I understand how you feel but now is the time to go home, and...we need to have a discussion."
The three loud sisters then nod and proceed to give Lincoln a tight hug
Lucy- (tearing) "We are sorry Lincoln (hic) but we will be gone for a long time and well…(sniff) I hope you'll wake up and visit us"
…
…
… "Can you please let go, I can't breathe and my chest still hurts"...
All but Lincoln- (confused but startle) "huh!?"
Then they all look at Lincoln and to their surprise he was awake but bags under his right eye (because of the bandage that covers his forehead and left eye) and having a sad/depressed expression.
{I will only shorten Lincoln's name because it's too long for me}
All but Lincoln- (joy) "Lincoln!" (All gave a tighter hug)
L- (in pain) "AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH LET GO!"
All but Lincoln- (let's go with cautious) "sorry!"
Leni- (joy) "Linky you're awake, how do you feel?"
Lincoln stares at them with the same expression for only a few seconds when his right eye begins to leak out tears and his lips begin to quiver.
Luna- (concern) "oh no, Lincoln look we are sorry for what-"
L- (tearing) "wh-why?" (Sniff)
Lucy-(sympathy) "please, we didn't mean to-"
L- (crying) "I don't (hic) understand, why do I-I have to live(hic) like this, a-and how much longer do I have to live too!?" (Sniff)
Lynn Sr- (worried while holding lily) "Lincoln, everything is going to be ok, we c-"
Lynn Sr was cut off when Rita open the door with an angry look on her face, but also followed by the rest of the loud sisters who also have scratches and bruises. To their surprise, they found Lincoln awake.
Rita- (joy) "oh my baby! I- (notice Lincoln crying) Lincoln what's wrong?"(walks towards Lincoln)
Lynn Jr- (mutters in disgust) "cry baby"
Leni, Luna, Lucy, Lynn Sr, Rita- (looks at Lynn Jr) (mad) "LYNN!"
L- (crying but also heard what Lynn Jr said) (sad) "why d-do y-you always have to (hic) make m-my life a l-living hell!?"
All except Lincoln and Lynn Jr- (gasp)
Lynn Jr- (mad) me?! You're the one who is making our life a living hell, (approach to Lincoln's bed) thanks to you dad is going to send us to Juve tomorrow (pushes Lucy and Luna out of the way)
Leni-(shocked) "what are you doing?!"
L- (begins to breathe heavily and grows frightened) (moves away slowly) "st-stay away!'
Lynn Jr- (mad) (grabs Lincoln's hand and applied extreme pressure) "all because you are a mistake to be born!"
L-(scream in pain) 'AAAHHHH!"
Rita and Lynn Sr -(shocked) "STOP! YOUR HU-"
Their words were cut off as Lincoln stopped crying, stood up to his feet on his bed and grabs Lynn Jr by the collar of her shirt and hoisted her up as far as he could. Lincoln's expression change from crying and depressed to… Nothing. His face looks tired but also motionless as he stares at Lynn Jr.
Lynn Jr- (nervous) "what the- uh oh"
…
…
L-(motionless) "...no te atrevas pinche pendeja…"
To be continued...
Ok, I am going to take a break from this because is hard to concentrate with all these symptoms and I do have medication but it's slowly working at this moment. also, i heard that I need to use beta reader but the problem is I don't know how to do it and I'm very shy with other people.
Sneak peek to future chapters or something -
Max. IM- (pissed off) "fuck this Lincoln, I am not just going to stand here and watch this idiot and his goons get away with it!"
L. IC -(whispers strictly) "are you trying to make this worst?"
Max. IC- (mad) "hey, puto!"
