Chapter 10. In this chapter Rita and Lynn Sr. will have a talk to their daughters about their treatment towards their one and only brother Lincoln Loud. Rita has discovered that Lincoln has been suffering from depression. The kind that makes her son question his own existence. Lincoln has forgiven Luna, Luan and Lana, but will other sisters, Lori, Leni, Lynn, Lucy, Lola and Lisa will be forgiven as well? Let's find out.
All the Loud's were at the dining room table eating breakfast. Luna and Lana are sitting next to Lincoln, while Lori barley touched her food and so did Lola. Leni was feeding Lily, which her mother appreciated for doing so. Luan gave a quick glare at Lynn Jr., but others enjoyed their meals none then less. After breakfast, everyone turned in their dishes to their father and he was cleaning up all the dishes that came from the dining room. When the Loud kids exited the dining room, they stopped and got really nervous seeing their own mother giving them a stern look, while she crossed her arms and tapped her left foot on the floor.
The children didn't know what to say, when they gave each other nervous glances, until Rita said: Lincoln, I want you to go to your room and take Lily with you. As for you others, I want you to go the living room NOW! We are having a family meeting.
Rita said to her daughters with a angry voice and Lincoln did as he was instructed. He took Lily from Leni's arms and walked upstairs with her towards his room. Lincoln took a quick nervous glance at the others and was afraid of what was going to happen next. The sisters went towards the living room and sat on the couch. They heard their father finishing up cleaning the dishes, when they heard him turning off the sinks from the kitchen. Lynn Sr. walked inside the living room towards his wife and they were standing in front of their 9 daughters with very serious looks on their faces.
Rita pinched her nose and took a deep breath and breathed out. She then looked at her daughters and said: Alright. Can some of you explain to me, why is Lincoln so mad at you and how it all started?
The sisters looked at each other with worry. Lori, being the oldest said: Lincoln is going through something difficult. When I barged in his room, I saw him being hurt emotionally. I told the others not to disturb him and leave him be for a while, but then…
Lori's last sentence changed into an angry tone. She was really angry. She and the rest of the sisters furiously looked at Lynn Junior. Lynn for the 1st time looked scared. Everyone, including her own parents looked at her with anger. And her siblings looked at her with hate. Lynn never felt like this before and she realizes how she messed up.
Luna then spoke with a very angry tone: Until our sporty, bully type of sister just kept pushing buttons to our bro and made him so angry, that he got into a fight with her and also punched Lori with pure rage in the stomach.
Rita and Lynn Senior gasped and in shock and then looked at their sporty daughter with fury. Lynn Junior wanted to just drown on the couch. She wanted to be as small as possible. She sweating and trembling with fear. Lori then said: That's the worst what Lynn has done.
Rita and Lynn Senior looked at Lori and she spoke: She kept on provoking him and trying to make him angrier. One time, when we were driving back home, Lynn blamed Lincoln for a certain incident and told him that he is talentless looser, which made him really upset.
Rita and Lynn Senior yelled: WHAT?
That was it! This was a moment, when Lynn is seriously getting into trouble. One thing Lori left out, was the fact that Luan was about to run away from home, but they stopped her in time, before she could do so. Lori knew, it's better to leave some recent incidents to herself, because she doesn't want her parents to worry even more. Only thing that came to her mind was: I deserve to be punched by Lincoln.
Lori was about to walk away crying, but her parents stopped her for doing so. They know how upset Lori has become recently and they know it's because of her brother Lincoln. Lori nodded and sat back down on the couch. Lori was wiping away her tears with her hands and Leni gave her a handkerchief so she could blow her nose on it.
After that Rita and Lynn Senior looked at their sporty daughter once more. Rita said: Young lady! Do you have any idea of what you have just done? You provoked your brother in the worst possible moment and you are so stubborn, that you don't even care of how your brother feels right now. I am very disappointed in you Lynn Loud Junior.
Lynn simply nodded. She felt shame of she treated her brother. Lana then said: Lola is no different. She also agreed with Lynn that everything that is happening right now is Lincoln's fault.
Lola was shocked and said: T-that's not true.
Lana was angry and looked at Lola with fury, which made Lola scared. Lana then said: Don't you DARE LIE! YOU BRAT!
Everyone, including the parents gasped in shock of what Lana said to Lola. They always knew that the twins always got into a fight, but they would never expect that one of them would finally snap at them.
Leni then said: Lana. That wasn't very nice!
Lana then yelled: I DON'T CARE! At this point I really don't care. Lola is the worst out of all us here. She never cared for Lincoln and always treated him more like a slave, then a brother. And she also said that Lincoln doesn't deserve happiness!
Everyone just became shocked. Lola was also starting tremble and sweat with fear. The fact that she was sitting next to Lori, wasn't good either. Lori gripped the handle of the sofa and angrily said: What?
Lola was weeping now. She started to get afraid. She fell from the couch on her butt and quickly backed away from Lori. Lori got up looking angrily at Lola. This wasn't just normal angry, it was: "I'm going to kill you right now" kind of look. Leni was scared and grabbed Lori's arm, but she quickly yanked it off. Lori was getting closer to Lola and Lola was crying from fear. She covered her ears, so she couldn't hear Lori's yelling. Lori kneeled down yanked Lola's hand with brute force. Lola didn't open her eyes. She was too afraid to look at her older sister right now.
Lori then said, while yelling: Lincoln doesn't deserve happiness? Are you literary kidding me right now? How can you say that? Out of all things to say about our brother, who is suffering from emotional pain, this is the lowest thing you have to say about him!
Lori then grabbed Lola by the hair, who was crying loudly and her parents and even her siblings were completely shocked of what is happening right now. Lori then walked all the way to the kitchen and grabbed a chair along the way from the dining room and sat on the chair, while she let go of Lola's hair. She then grabbed Lola by the arm and put her in a position on her legs. Lola was about to jump out of the Lori's lap, but Lori grabbed her by the hair and what Lori did, made everyone go completely silent. They heard Lola crying loudly and it sounded like she was in pain. They heard some slapping noises and the parents realized what Lori was doing to Lola. She was spanking her. Something, not even the parents had the courage to do so. But Lori was one sistes, which Lola knew is the wrong person to mess with.
5 minutes have passed and Lori walked out of the dining room. She saw everyone looking at her with complete shock. Lori looked she wasn't in the mood right now. She was too angry to even think straight. They saw Lori's right hand being sore and they knew why. Lori rubbed it and said: I'll be in my room.
Lori went upstairs to her room and closed the door behind her. Everyone then saw Lola coming out from the dining room and looked at her with pity this time. Everyone, except her twin sister Lana. She was still angry at Lola, but she also smirked of the punishment that Lola got from Lori. Lana knew that Lola deserve it and she got what she got of what was coming to her. Lola was really sad and walked upstairs to her room. She was walking slowly, while she was rubbing her butt, which was in pain from all that spanking that Lori gave her.
Everyone then didn't know of what to say or what to do. The parents looked at their children and saw how completely shocked they have become. Rita sighed and said: Alright, everyone to your rooms. We will discuss Lincoln's situation another day.
Everyone nodded and went their separate ways. Lana was going outside and plays in the mud and Leni decided to walk to the mall. She didn't want to provoke Lori, more then she already has. Other went to their rooms. Lori and Lynn Sr. looked at each other with worry. This is something, they know that will be hard to fix. They sighed and went to their bedroom to rest and think things through.
Lincoln is in his room and he heard the commotion and realizes that things are getting heavy. He could hear Lola crying loudly, but not so loud, that you could hear it in the entire neighborhood. He realizes that she buried her face in the pillow. He also can hear Lynn angrily punching her punching back, while also he could hear her being emotionally broken. Some part of him, liked the idea for these 2 to be punished, but the other side told him, to help them feel better. Lincoln angrily growled and put pulled his hair in frustration. He wants to show his sisters that he is no pushover, but he also doesn't want make them suffer as well. Lincoln knows that deep down, he is a kind person, but that kindness always is being thrown back at his face. There are also times, Lincoln feels bad for the things he himself is done. He doesn't know his true talents and he made bad choices in the process. That's what makes Lincoln confused the most. Is he the villain here or is he just a person, which one cares for anymore?
Lincoln sighed and was about to call Clyde with his walkie-talkie, until a knock on his door was heard. Lincoln sighed and said: Come in.
Luna came in and looked at Lincoln with worry. She saw how upset he looked and that made her feel awful. She sat on Lincoln's bed, while she closed his bedroom door and said: Listen, Linc. Things haven't been going good lately. Mind if I and you go to Gus n Games Crub?
Lincoln nodded and said: Sure, let's go.
Lincoln put down his walkie-talkie and he and Luna walked out of the room and the scene ends the door being closed behind them.
Well. I should have released and written this chapter sooner, but I have allot of things going through my head right now and sometimes it makes me feel frustrated. It also doesn't help, when I watch BoJack Horseman on Netflix. That show really speaks to me and shows me how much the world has changed. And it has changed not for the better. We live in time, where people care less and less of how other people feel.
Now days, it feels like people care only about 3 things: money, power and fame. And nothing else for them matters. I understand that money is important to do things and make your life better. But many people are consumed by greed and there are many people in other places that are starving from lack of food and water. We have people, that have all the money and power in the world, but they don't use that power to help others. And that makes me feel like, that now day's people just don't care anymore.
Sorry, if I got too deep here. I hope you enjoyed my new chapter of Lincoln Loud's Anger and Sorrow. Right now, I am going to feed my dog and after that will take a warm, relaxing bath. See ya later guys!
