Chapter 11: The letter

10 days has passed since Alice died and Lala still didn't left her room except when she had to use the toilet. She barely ate anything, didn't watch her favourite shows or cartoons, didn't play with Ab who was very lonely without her, and she didn't really take a bath too. She just sat in her room and cried. The Loud sisters tried everything to bring her out from her room. For example they said they would take her to the arcade, the beach, Dairy Land and a lot of other places. Emma tried too. She came with Aria and said they could go and walk the dogs in the park. Michael was the next one who swallowed his pride and said he would like to spend some time with her, just the two of them. However everything was ineffective. Everyone started to lose hope and the fact that the funeral would be the next day didn't help either. However Lala wanted to see her Grandmother one last time so she came out from her room, but there was no guarantee she wouldn't close herself again.

The funeral wasn't a big one, but a lot of people were there. There were the whole Loud family, Emma and her parents, Michael and her parents, Alice's former collegues and friends and of course Lala. She came out of her room but everyone knew after the funeral she would go back to her room. The priest said his funeral speech then Alice's friends and collegues said some happy stories from their past that they had with Alice. When they finished they asked Lala if she wanted to tell a story. Lala shocked her and said she was unable to tell a happy story when she was this sad. Everyone understood it and left Lala alone. After the speeches everyone went to the coffin and put some flowers on it then it was let it down to the ground. In front of the grave there were wreaths. One was from her Aunts and Grandparents, one was from the collegues, one was from the friends and for her suprise there were two from her classmates and her baseball team. Lala smiled for a moment because it made her happy that everyone remembered her. After the funeral after everyone left she visited her parents' graves. She stood in front of them and then started to cry.

''Hi Mommy. Hi Daddy. I don't know if you can hear me or not but I hope you can. I was so sad when you left me then I was adopted by Aunt Lori and slowly I started become the old me. You know the easy-going and lovely girl. I continued the studying in a new school where Aunt Lynn protected me from the bullies. I got new friends, like Emma who likes teasing me but we always help eachother out and there is Michael. He is a very kind boy and I think he has a crush on me. Of course Daddy you would scare him away with a chainsaw or something but he is a good guy. I started to play the guitar and play baseball. I am good at playing the guitar but I still have much to learn. And the baseball, we just won the state championship. But now Grandma died. And now I am just like when you left me." Said Lala while she cried and after a few minutes she collapsed on her knees and continued.

''Why did you lie to me? Why didn't you tell me? Why did I have to lose so much? Just why?" Screamed Lala at the graves, but the answer didn't came.

''Lala." Said Lori who was right behind her with the other Louds.

''I want to go home." Said Lala while she cried and the others nodded and took Lala to the cars. However Lori stayed for a few minutes.

''I will go too just give me a minute." Said Lori and the others nodded.

''Hello Lincoln. I don't really believe in the Heaven or the afterlife, but we need help now. And unfortunately in this kind of situations only you had solutions. I and the others don't have any idea how we can help Lala. When you died she was broken but slowly she recovered and now she isn't just broken, she is completly ruined, destroyed. Please help us find a way to help her." Said Lori who started to cry.

After this Lori went back tot he cars and said it's time to go home. Unfortunately at home Lala went to her room immediatly and closed it. Lori could only sigh because she knew this would happen. After she changed clothes her first task was to call Alice's lawyer to ask when they can meet. The lawyer said it was good for him the next day, but Lala has to be there because she inherited everything. However Lori said Lala wouldn't come out from her room because of the trauma. The lawyer understood it and said he would visit them at the weekend if it was good for them. Lori said it was perfect and maybe she could lure Lala out if she heard about the inheritance.

The weekend came very fast but Lala still didn't leave her room. At 10 o'clock the lawyer arrived and knocked on the door. Lori opened it and saw a middle age man with short brown hair. He was wearing a black suit. Moreover he had a briefcase.

''Good morning Ms Loud, my name is Albert Spear, Ms Taylor's lawyer." Said Albert.

''Good morning, Lori Loud, please come in." Said Lori and let Albert in.

''Would you like something to drink? Coffee? Tea?" Asked Lori.

''A cup of coffee would be nice, thank you." Said Albert and Lori left to the kitchen.

''A minute and I will be back please sit down in the living room." Said Lori and Albert nodded and sat down on the couch. A few minutes later Lori came back with a kettle of coffee and a lot of cups. Albert didn't understand it then Lori said that her family would be here soon. And suddenly they heard the knocking and Lori opened the door for her parents and sisters. Everybody introoduced themself then Albert started it.

''Well then about the will. Before I read it I want to ask where is Lala?" Asked Albert and everybody started to look down.

''Well she still didn't came out from her room, the only times she came out when she had to use the bathroom and when we went to the funeral." Said Lori.

''Isn't there anything we can use to lure her out?" Asked Albert.

''We told Lala about you and the inheritance but she didn't care about it, she only said she wanted her parents and grandmother back." Said Rita.

''Well she has to be here to hear her grandmother's will and….." Said Albert then suddenly stopped.

''That's it maybe she will come out if she hears this. Can you show me her room?" Asked Albert but nobody understood what he would do. Lori showed the room then everybody watched what would happen. Albert knocked then said.

''Hi Lala my name is Albert, your grandmothers's lawyer." Said Albert.

''Leave me alone I don't want to hear about some stupid inheritance, I want my Mommy, my Daddy and my Grandma back." Said Lala a little louder than the normal.

''I know you are upset but it won't solve anything if you close yourself in your room. Your aunts, your grandparents, your friends, even your dog are worried about you. I know this last year was hard for you and everything that happened to you wasn't fair, but what would your parents and grandmother say if they were here?" Asked Albert but this time Lala didn't answer.

''I know you don't want to hear about the inheritance but I have something else too." Said Albert and this made Lala a little curious.

''What is it?" Asked Lala.

''A letter from your grandmother. She wrote it after your last visit. She asked me to give it to you as soon as I can." Said Albert. For a few minutes nothing happened but after that they saw the door was opening. Lala wasn't in her best condition. Her hair was messy just like her clothes moreover her eyes were red and puffy.

''Can I read it?" Asked Lala with a weak voice.

''Sure come to the living room and we will read it together." Said Albert and Lala started to walk to the living room. In the living room Albert gave the letter to Lala. On the envelope the only thing was her name. Lala took out the letter from the envelope and started to read it.

Dear Lala

If you read this then Mr. Spear gave you this letter. I am sorry I and your parents never told you about my illness but we just wanted to protect you. We knew if we told you, you would worry about me everyday and it is not healthy for the soul. I know you think the World hates you because you had to lose so many thing. But please don't think this. If you start to believe this you will just find yourself with the thought that you hate the World and everything else that it has. I don't deny it sometimes the World is cruel but I believe it gives more than it takes. Maybe I am not with you anymore but you still have your Aunts.

There is Lori who will guide you to become a mature and respectful woman. But I hope she doesn't spoil you too much.

There is Leni who can always give you tips in fashion. But please don't let her that her ditzyness stuck on you.

There is Luna who will teach you playing the guitar and I am sure you will be great with that I am sorry I couldn't hear you play. And if you go to a concert with her please be careful there are weird people there like hippies.

There is Luan who will take you to L.A. for a vacation and I am sure she will show you what she is doing. If you are lucky maybe you can get a role in a movie too. And if you are in L.A. can you get an autograph from David Hasselhoff. I loved his movies and my dream was to meet him.

There is Lynn who is your gym teacher too, but she will always protect you from the bullies and the boys who doesn't understand the meaning of no. Just be careful when she wants to jog with you because it can be more than 10 miles.

There is Lucy who also can scare away those you don't want to see and I am sure there are more in her that she showes. However if she tries to summon a ghost or demon I would prefer if you run.

There is Lana who can help you with Abraham and show you how you can repair everything. But after the meetings wash your hands very extensively or better take a very long bath because you don't know where her hands and clother were.

There is Lola who can help you with fashion too, but please don't apply to pegeants. It only make the girls vain moreover if you use that much makeup you just hurt your skin. And I think the makeup only hide the real beauty. Your Daddy always said that he loved Mommy more when she didn't wear makeup.

There is Lisa who can help you study and if you study hard you can become a doctor just like me. But don't let her experiement on you. Your Daddy said some of her experiement didn't work like it should have been.

There is Lily who can play with you video games. Just hold back a little when you play video games so she can have some chance to win.

There are your other grandparents too who can help you with anything. But I hope I am still your favourite.

There is your dog Abraham. An animal always know when its owner is sad, so if you are sad just let him to yourself. Pet him and let him to sleep with you and the next time you wake up you will be happier.

There is your friend Emma. You said you like doing everything together like doing sleepovers, playing or walking the dogs. Just let her help you and don't push her away. And if tease you too much find something which you can tease her.

And finally there is Michael. I know you don't want to confess it and you think you are too young for love. Well you are right in the last one, but there is nothing wrong with that you have a crush. I think it is cute. My advice is that you should spend more time with him and get to know him a little more. And my last but most important advice I can give you is that it is hard to find real love which can be from family, from friends, or from a boy, but if you found this love never let it go and fight for it everyday, because if you aren't careful you will lose it.

The life wasn't kind to you in this last year but remember that I and your parents will always be there in your memories and your heart. However if you have any doubt just read the last line of this letter, but don't show or read this line for your aunts. So let this line be our little secret.

Love Granny

Lala finished the reading and by the end she was crying like there was no tomorrow. The others cried too but they were a little annoyed about what Alice said about them. A minute later Lala looked up with a smile then said.

''Can I hear what she wrote in her last will?" Asked Lala and the others were suprised, because in the last 2 weeks they didn't see her smile. They knew that last line was that caused this. But the better question is what is that line?

Hello everyone here is the next chapter. It was hard to write it but I hope you like it.
