Hey guys TheCoffee here with Chapter 7. I decide to start answering some questions or thoughts on the authors notes. So if you have any questions or thoughts then you are welcomed to ask them in the reviews. I've also decided to try out some different writing styles this past week and the later part of the chapter might look a bit different due to that. Who knows you might not even notice it. Anyways enjoy the chapter!

Ronniecoln_88: Lily's not featured since she is a baby. If i had her in the story it would serve almost no purpose in my opinion.

Engineer1869: Yes Luna did get off pretty easy but she won't avoid Lori's judgement for so long.


Buildings passed as Lincoln watched out the window of the car. Thinking back to the fun day he had with his girl-friend, Lincoln manages to crack a smile. Not knowing what would come next Lincoln relaxed on the car seat with Jordan on his side.

"So, what are we going to do when we get home?" Lincoln asked. Jordan turned to face him before giving him a suspicious smile.

"Just having a normal talk." Said Jordan. She didn't want to freak the young boy out by saying that he was going to talk to both her parents about his problem.

Taking that as his answer Lincoln returned to relaxing on his chair letting the vibrations of the car guide him to more relaxation.

But Lincoln didn't watch out for how tired he was and accidentally fell asleep, both Jordan and her mom were alerted when they heard deep breathes coming from the boy.

"Well, he certainly has it easy to sleep." Said the smiling mother.

"In his defense, he does live with his sisters. And from the rumors, I heard they do live up to the name Loud." Explained Jordan.

"I'm really hoping that dad could help us with this," Jordan admitted.

"Me too. Let's just see what happens when we come home." The mother said. Seeing her daughter nod in the rear mirror she continued to drive talking less as to not wake the Loud boy.

After the drive, Jordan's mom pulled up to their house which looked more like a mansion. Jordan saw a familiar car in the driveway indicating that her dad was home. Not wanting to carry the Loud boy out of the car Jordan nudges him enough to wake him.

He opened his eyes and let out a yawn. Lincoln looked around the car before looking outside to see where he was. Seeing that he was outside the house Lincoln and Jordan waited for the car to stop before getting out.

After opening the door Lincoln was blasted by the familiar cold air that he had grown to enjoy. He followed the two people who had helped him all this time to the front door where the two kids waited for Jordan's mom to open the door.

As soon as the door was opened both kids rushed in. Lincoln got rid of his jacket and shoes leaving them in their respective places.

"Hey there!" Someone said from the kitchen. All three turn to see a man sitting down in the kitchen holding a coffee cup filled with coffee. Instantly Lincoln became confused, but his confusion disappeared when Jordan reacted.

"Hey, Dad!" Exclaimed the young girl before running to her dad to hug him. All the while Jordan's mom also walks over to the kitchen to greet her husband.

"Hey honey, how was work?" Asked the mother before giving a quick peck on the cheek.

"Pretty great." Jordan's dad responded.

Meanwhile Lincoln is watching all of this from a distance not knowing what he should do. If he were to judge, this would probably be one of his most awkward moments except the time where he tried to impress Stella along with his other friends. But this came close.

After the family trio greeted each other the dad turned to see Lincoln standing there awkwardly. The dad waved for Lincoln to come over and Lincoln looked around not knowing if it was for him before walking to the kitchen.

"Hi." Lincoln simply greeted the father of Jordan.

"Hello! I'm Jack, I already assumed that you met my wife Kate." Said Jack with a warming smile. Well guess he learned something new, he didn't know that Jordan's mom was named Kate but the more you know.

"And I also assumed that you also met my daughter Jordan." Finished Jack.

"Yeah, I did," Lincoln said trying to not sound awkward which he failed… massively.

"Why don't you sit down?" Said Jack. Lincoln noticed the change of tone in his voice almost as if this was an interrogation but more friendly.

"Alright," Lincoln said still being suspicious at all of this. Meanwhile, while Lincoln was focused on Jack Kate led Jordan out of the kitchen so that Lincoln and Jack could talk alone.

"So, what's your name kid?" Jack asked friendly.

"Well, my name is Lincoln," Lincoln said plainly.

"Now how old are you?" Jack asked. Lincoln got confused at the simple question wondering why he was asking all of this.

"I'm 12 years old," Lincoln responded.

"Do you have any family?" Asked Jack. Lincoln visibly froze at the question which Jack noted in the back of his head.

"W-well yeah, I have 10 other sisters. I also have my parents and pop-pop." Lincoln said stuttering a bit.

"Big family, must get tiring to handle all of that chaos," Jack told Lincoln.

"Well yeah, but I guess that's the price I pay for living with a large family," Lincoln said while letting out a yawn. Meanwhile, Jack processed what the boy said and thought about his next move.

"Where do you see yourself in your family?" Jack asked. The question threw Lincoln for a loop since his view of what he meant changed over the past days. After struggling to find an answer in his head he managed to come up with something.

"I used to think that I was the likable one and had a connection with each and one of them but…" Lincoln trailed off not having the words to finish the sentence.

"But what?"

"But something happened that changed my mind about them," Lincoln explained

"What was it?" Jack already knew what happened but needed to know in more detail if he was going to help the kid.

"I-it started with my sister Lori moving out with her boyfriend Bobby. It left a room free which caused a war between my sisters. I tried to avoid it knowing that it would end as all the other times but when the room was given to me…" Lincoln didn't even want to finish the sentence. Memories began infiltrating his brain which caused him to remember everything, every punch, and pain he felt. A cold chill was set down his spine. Jack noticed this and didn't need to hear the end of the sentence to piece together what happened. But something was still on Jack's mind.

"Wait are you saying that stuff like this happened before?" Jack asked Lincoln surprised. Lincoln felt like he had no words to explain all the times this happened.

"Yes, but we made up in the end. As all siblings do." Lincoln explained.

"Just because your siblings make up doesn't mean it wasn't a bad thing or that everything's fine." Jack said to Lincoln.

"Now I want to ask you. What do you think about your sisters and parents now?" Jack asked. Yet another question that made Lincoln unsure. But after some thought, he came to an answer.

"Well some sisters I don't consider responsible like Leni, Lori, Lily, but the others I have mixed feelings for. My sister Luna especially stings since she was the sister, I trusted the most and relied on. But I guess a room matters more than any kind of sibling bond." Said Lincoln in a hurt manner. The visible hurt even stung Jack who was invested in the young Louds' life.

"Let's not focus on the bad Lincoln. Tell me about the sisters who aren't responsible." Said Jack trying to keep Lincoln from getting too sad or emotional.

"Well for starters there's Leni who wasn't responsible since she couldn't know that the choice would lead to something horrible. She is our sweetheart sister who wants nothing bad for anyone."

"Then there is Lori. When Lori lived with us, she kept the house under control. But after she moved out it led to all of this. But as Leni, she couldn't have know that her moving to would lead to this."

"And Lily, she's just a baby. And she wasn't even a part of this." Lincoln finished. After hearing Lincoln explain all of this, he gave it some thought before asking another question.

"Do you want to go back?" Jack asked straight forward. The question shocked Lincoln down to his core and he got anxious about what to answer.

"Kid it's okay if you take your ti-"

"No." Was the only word to leave Lincoln's mouth.

"No, I don't want to go back." Lincoln clarified. Jack accepted the answer and prepared the last question. One he hoped the boy would agree and say yes to.

"Lincoln, there is no easy way to say this. I want to get the law evolved in this, but I want to know if you want this. I want to know if I have your support in this." Jack explained as best as he could. Lincoln's face changed almost instantly upon hearing the question to a face of unsureness. An internal war was going on in his head, he knew that what his sisters did was not legal and that there would be a punishment. But was he really about to betray his family in exchange for revenge?

"I would want to take some time to think about it. Is that okay?" Lincoln asked. He looked over to see Jack nodding.

"As I wanted to say before. Take your time. Nothing needs to be decided today." Jack pointed out.

Then Jack stood up from his chair and reached over to shake Lincoln's hand which he did.

"It's been a great time talking to you Loud. If you have any questions just ask, alright?"

"Yes, I will. Thanks, Jack." After Lincoln had finished thanking the man in front of him, he stood up and left the kitchen. Upon leaving the kitchen Lincoln saw Jordan and her mom sitting on the living room couch talking about something, but their talk was interrupted when he came too close.

Jordan heard the footsteps and turned around to see Lincoln looking at them both. She jumped off the couch and ran in for a hug on the white-haired boy. Lincoln almost lost balance from the surprise hug he received but luckily didn't fall. Meanwhile, the mother watched on in awe of those two.

"How was it Lincoln? My dad wasn't too intrusive or anything?" Jordan asked him hastily. While the two started a conversation, Kate got up from the couch and headed towards the kitchen knowing that her husband would want to inform her of what he learned.

"No no, he was fine." Answered Lincoln. After their hug split, he learned that her dad was a psychologist which explained the whole interrogation like talk. Lincoln was actually glad that he had that talk with Jack, it helped him vent some of his pain he was feeling on the inside.

Lincoln proceeded to explain to Jordan what he and her dad talked about and the choice he got from him. It didn't take a genius to figure out that Lincoln was struggling with it.

"And I don't know Jordan. My mind says that I should take the offer, but my heart says that I shouldn't do it." Lincoln said to Jordan. He entered a panicked state after he said that. His breathing became more erratic but a warm hand on his shoulder calmed him down.

"Lincoln don't stress about to much." Said Jordan before getting an idea. "Look how about we go and play some games on my PowerStation 4." Suggested Jordan which earned a small smile from Lincoln who agreed.

Lincoln followed Jordan to her room and was amazed at how much stuff there was inside. Band posters on the wall, dodgeball trophies on her desk, and as well as Ace Savvy comics all around the floor. Wait she didn't even live here, the thought of her actual room back in royal woods made Lincoln want to ask Jordan about it but when he looked over, he saw that Jordan was looking flustered.

"Sorry about my messy room. Didn't expect anyone else than my parents to come in." Jordan explained flustered but stopped when she heard a chuckle coming from Lincoln.

"Don't worry Jordan. What makes you think that my room wasn't messy." Lincoln said with a warming smile. Jordan smiled back at him with a chuckle of her own.

"So, what's the game for today?" Asked Lincoln. Jordan went over to her shelf and looked through all the games she owned before grabbing some of them and turning to Lincoln.

"Why not more than one?" Said with a smug grin. Jordan placed the games next to the console before taking out two beanbags from the corner of her room that both she and Lincoln sat down on.

For the next hours, Lincoln and Jordan played games and had fun. Most of the games Jordan would come out as the winner since she had the most experience with the games but sometimes Lincoln would manage to beat her in the game. Them hanging together and playing games helped Lincoln to get to know Jordan much better.

For example, the reason she is this good at dodgeball is that she played it with her relatives when they visited ever since she was 4 years old which shocked Lincoln. Meanwhile, Jordan learned that Lincoln liked to draw and hoped to become an artist one day.

After all of this Jordan realized how much she adored the boy she was currently helping. That he was still willing to protect his family from the law even after all they did to him. And that he was a genuinely nice guy who always seemed to want to help. Like when he gave Jordan his controller after her controller ran out of batteries. She asked if he needed help searching for batteries, but he said that he didn't want to stop her fun with the game.

It warmed her heart and his smile was intoxicating to her and she smiled every time she saw that smile. Jordan was actually surprised that she almost never hung out with him in school, after all, they share the same interests and likes. He and she were more compatible together than probably all of her friends.

Of course, she recognized what she was feeling. She wasn't dumb after all; she knew what the signs pointed to. Jordan knew that she'd have to think about it more but from the looks of it. Jordan liked Lincoln as something more.
