Hello everyone. I'm sorry about not updating this story for a while. While I was gone, I made a second account by the name of Eclar1916 V.2. Currently, I have a Law and Order based story there called The Case of Lincoln Loud. Please give it a look if you can. Leave a review there too. The apology cake that the brothers are baking will make an appearance in a couple of chapters. I am gonna try my best to distinguish the two scenes. And as a reward for waiting, a Loud brother gets beat the hell up in this chapter. Guess who? Read and you'll see. Now that all of that is said and done, let's begin.
Back at the hospital, Linka just finished crying her eyes out. The only thing that stopped her from continuing was the fact that she ran out of tears. A sympathetic Nurse Simmons attempts to get through to her. "What's wrong sweetheart?" she asked concerned. Linka wipes her eyes, which are now red and puffy. "Nothing. I just had a nightmare, that's all." Linka replied, hiding the real reason.
"I know you're lying. Nobody cries that hard from a nightmare. Unless, something serious happened. Now tell me, what's wrong?" Nurse Simmons asked. Linka sighs, "Okay, I'll tell you." she says reluctantly. "I kinda had a falling out with my brothers. Nine of them to be exact." Nurse Simmons eyes go wide with surprise.
"You have 9 brothers? Damn, that's crazy." Nurse Simmons asked. "I can't imagine having 9 brothers. Three is already enough for me. Now tell me, what started this little falling out?"
"It's a very long story. But I'm just gonna say that my brothers are the reason I'm in this hospital room. They're the reason I have this broken leg." Linka explained. "I'll tell you how it all began." While Linka explains all of the events leading to that very moment to Nurse Simmons, Lynn nervously walks towards the counselors office. He is still having a hard time deciding whether or not to tell his counselor everything that happened.
He places his hand on the doorknob. Conflicting thoughts are racing through his head like a racer during the Indy 500. Come on Lynn. You won't feel better until you talk about this. Lynn told himself mentally. Lynn takes a deep breath and knocks on the door. A burly woman in a red blazer opens it. "Why, hello Lynn. How may I help you this evening?" she aks.
"I-I uh, need to talk about something personal." Lynn responded anxiously. Beads of sweat form on his head. He taps his foot against the office floor in a a quick manor. He takes a whiff of the air and notices that the smell of stress sweat has filled the air. "I don't know how to explain this, but-"
"Are you having girl trouble Lynn? Do you have questions about, you know, your body? All of that stuff is natural." she said.
"WHAT? Ew, no. That's not the problem at all Ms. Gargano. It's a family problem." Lynn replied.
"Are you being touched inappropriately? That's probably why you've been so irritable and moody lately."
"No, I'm not. I can't believe I'm saying this (sighs), but my little sister is in the hospital. And it's all because of my brothers and I. We hurt her in a fit of rage and now she's laying in a hospital bed with a broken leg." Lynn confessed. He bows his head in shame. Ms. Gargano places her hands on the sides of her head. She's quite surprised at this confession.
"Oh. Okay. Let's pick this up after school tomorrow." Ms. Gargano asked. Lynn got up and began to leave. He felt a little disappointed that she didn't have any advice, but at the same time, he felt a little better getting that off his chest. What Lynn didn't know was that Ron Andy was listening in on the whole confession. Lynn walks down the hallway and out of the school. Ron Andy fellows him silently. Lynn turns the corner, his house is just down the street. All that's left for him to do is walk through a dark alley.
"I better call Mom and Dad and tell them that I'm gonna be a bit late." Lynn says. He pulls his phone out of his pockets and begins to text his parents when a rock hits his hand, making him drop his phone. Lynn grasps his hand and turns around, only to meet the gaze of a very angry Ron Andy.
"You almost broke my hand. What the hell is your problem?" Lynn shouts. He doesn't get an answer. Instead, Ron Andy charges at Lynn and tackles him to the ground. Lynn manages to cover one side of his face. Before he could cover the other side, Ron Andy lands a punch on his cheek. He continued to wail on Lynn, landing body shots. Lynn remembers a move he saw. Lynn places his hands on Ron Andy's shoulders and flips him off.
Ron Andy lands on the ground back first with an audible thud. Wind rushed out of his lungs. Lynn takes advantage by kicking him several times before attempting to run away. Ron Andy gets up and chases Lynn down the street. He knows that he isn't going to catch Lynn, so he picks up another rock and throws it with all of his strength. The rock catches Lynn in the back. Ron Andy then smashes Lynn over the head with a garbage can lid. "That's for Linka you son of a bitch." he says while pummeling Lynn.
"HEY!" A deep voice shouts. Ron Andy turns to see a man running towards him. He runs off before the man could see his face. "Are you alright young man?" the man asked Lynn.
"Yeah, thank you." Lynn replied.
"Would you like me to walk you home?"
"No thanks. I'll just call my parents." The man walked away and Lynn picks up his phone, which now sports a small crack across the screen. Meanwhile, Rita is busy working when she receives a phone call. She pulls off her face mask. "Excuse me for a second." Rita says, stepping out of the room to answer her phone.
"Hello."
"Mom, can you come pick me up?" Lynn asked. "I might need to go to the hospital."
"Hospital? What for?"
"I got jumped when I was walking home. I think my hand is broken."
"Alright, I'm on my way." Rita said before hanging up. "Sorry Dr. Finstein, I gotta go. It's a family emergency." Rita jumps into Vanzilla and pulls off. As she is driving, Lynn managed to make it home and he is sitting on the porch. While Lynn sits in wait, Ron Andy trudges through his front door. Bebe is sitting on the couch texting on her phone. She catches a look at her little brother. "What happened to you?" she asked with concern.
"That's not the issue. Don't you know?" Ron Andy replied.
"About the bird?"
"What. Everybody knows that the bird is the word. Seriously though, you are in for some news." He then proceeds to tell everything that he heard Lynn say.
And there it is. This chapter is finished. Give a shout out if you get the reference. This chapter is the start of tensions between Lynn and Ron Andy that will peak in the next chapter during a hospital visit. Sorry if it's been so long. I've been busy. Goodbye and goodnight.
