I left the house and went to my new one to unpack the rest of my belongings so I can settle in properly since it was becoming dark already.
Logan's Mind: Glad I can see them again though I wish Lori would've forgiven me too but can't say I blame her.
When I reached the house, I admired it for a few seconds before proceeding to enter my new home.
Logan: Wow, I gotta thank my Agent for this one.
I mean what do you expect? My old house looks like a dump compared to this one but hey, I'm not gonna bite the hands that fed me.
I was about to go inside but then took notice of my car right beside the house and it looks just like how I left it, it was a "Rolls Royce Bugatti" still in mint condition.
Logan's Mind: Look's like he took care of it with no problems.
I went inside and noticed that most of my things were already placed and furnished across the house seems like my agent was busy I'm surprised that there wasn't much noise when they did this. I noticed a few boxes left in the corner with a note as he read what it said.
Logan: "Sir, we have already placed All of your furniture and these boxes are the ones you specified to not invade on the private belongings inside, If you require our services again don't hesitate to call."
Logan's Mind: Wow, He's good.
Narrators' POV
As Logan finished reading the note he threw it away, then following to unpack the rest of his items which took him an hour at most before finally settled down as he ate dinner, took a shower, before proceeding to bed.
(Meanwhile at the Loud House)
Rita was trying to convince Lori to join them for dinner with Logan at his house as she was still crying in her room with the door locked.
Rita: Sweetie, Logan invited us over for dinner tomorrow, and we want you to join us.
Lori: (Crying softly) Go away, Mom! I'm not going and I don't want to see anyone right now.
Rita: (Concerned) Honey, I know it's difficult accepting that your Big Brother came back after he left us, but he had his reasons.
Lori: (Angry) I don't care about his reason! Where was he when I needed him, He just left without saying goodbye he could've done that at least!
Rita sighed, knowing that it will be hard in persuading Lori to join them knowing that she and Logan were really close back then and he just left her, leaving Lori crying for days of the loss of her brother, but then he suddenly comes back.
Rita wondered if she should tell her the truth about why Logan left, but was quiet for now.
Rita: Well, Logan lives next door since he just bought a house recently and he invited us over for dinner tomorrow so we're going, you're joining us and that's Final!
Lori wanted to refuse but knew she shouldn't push her mother too far cause she knew when she's serious.
Meanwhile, the other Loud children were in the living room below while the younger kids barraged their older sister's questions about Logan.
Lana: What happened to Logan? Why wasn't he here when we were around?
(Said Lana with curiousness in her eyes)
Lola: Tell us! We need to know everything!
Lola said demandingly.
Lincoln: Yeah! It would've been nice to know there was another brother in the family beside me.
Lincoln exclaimed in a tantrum.
Lisa: If you withhold any information from us, we can use other methods to retrieve it.
Lisa explained with a weird apparatus in her hand in a threatening manner.
Lucy: Even the spirits were unaware of a second brother, so this really hardens my shattering heart.
Lucy stated in her low monotone voice
Lily: Iwy Wad!
Luna: Look, dudes, say it one at a time, okay!
Luan: Yeah, we can't tell you guys if you ask us all at once.
Leni: I mean like, we can, but it's just confusing.
Lynn: Yeah, so why don't you guys calm down first and then ask us.
(The younger siblings breathed in and out before asking together in unison)
Lincoln, Lucy, Lana, Lola, Lisa: Who Is Logan!?
The older sisters sighed before individually answering them.
Leni: (Smiling a bit) Big Brother Logan when we were younger was someone very important in our lives-
Luna: He was there when we needed him and always had a solution to every problem-
Luan: He took care of us when we were hurt and was also very protective of our well being-
Lynn: He placed us first before anything else and above all he was-
Leni, Luna, Luan, Lynn: The best brother ever.
The younger siblings look at each other smiling from what their older sisters said, Logan, must've been a good guy and brother if their sisters spoke so fondly of him, all of them understood what Logan's like now after hearing what their sisters said apart from Lincon who rolled his eyes in slight annoyance which Luna took notice of.
Luna: Aw, C'mon Linc, Don't take it like that (Ruffles his hair) You're also a great brother but Logan is just different.
Lincoln's mood softened from what Luna said and stop being annoyed.
Luan: Yeah, cheer up Lincoln, Logan was there when we were born so he means more to us in some points.
Leni: But that doesn't mean we'll love you any less, Linky.
Lincoln: Aw, Thanks guys, but I guess Logan must've been a good brother seeing as how you guys talk about him so much.
Lynn: You don't even know the half of it Stinkoln, Mom said that my first words were Logan.
Lincoln: What?
Luna: Yeah dudes, he's also the reason I love music in the first place, before I also took a liking to rock.
Lucy: Really?!
Luan: Yeah, and he helped me when I was just starting out to be a comedian. He was also the one who got me Mr. Coconut's.
Lola: Excuse me!?
Leni: Oh and like, he also saved me from a blizzard once.
.
.
.
Luna, Luan, Lynn, Lincoln, Lucy, Lana, Lola, Lisa: WHAT?!
What Leni said shocked all her siblings, even the older ones since she and Logan told no one about that incident, but they all shrugged it off knowing that Logan looked like the kind of guy to do that.
After a few hours of chatting between them about Logan, they soon had to go to bed and most of them kept thinking of what tomorrow brings.
Morning at Logan's place
Logan began stirring awaken from a relaxing slumber before opening his heavy eyes, turning to his side, and looked at the framed picture of his family from Leni, He smiled knowing he can finally make it up to them now that he's back.
He got up, took a shower, brushed his teeth, and dried off. He wore his clothes which comprises a white t-shirt and a black button-up shirt over it, blue jeans and a pair of black and white sneakers for today.
Before proceeding to get breakfast and decided to hang out with the family for today before dinner comes.
We can see Logan leaving his house and walking next door to his family. He reached the steps of the front door before proceeding to knock with Leni answering it.
Leni: (Cheerful) Yay! Big Brother!
Leni gave Logan a big hug that's slowly gripping him harder and harder by the second with him motioning Leni to release him.
Logan's Mind: How can such a slim girl be this strong?!
Leni let's go after a few excruciating painful seconds for Logan.
Leni: What brings you here? I thought you said it was dinner that we'll be eating at your place? Or was it breakfast?
Logan: Oh, I just thought I could hang with you guys before then so we could catch up after ten years.
Leni: Yay! I'm sure the others will totes love that idea.
Then Rita was looking for her daughter on what's taking Leni so long and then she saw her other son by the door.
Rita: (Smiling) Logan, What brings you here this early sweetie? Shouldn't it be dinner time that we're stopping at your place?
Logan: Yeah it is, I just thought I spend some time with my sisters and brother before then maybe we could go to the mall, I also wanted to buy them late birthday presents altogether.
Rita: Well, that's a lovely idea, sweetie, and I'm sure the kids will love it. Come on in they're eating breakfast right now could you wait till after they finish?
Logan: Sure.
Leni: Today will be so much fun!
Rita invited Logan inside and they went towards the dining room as Logan saw his other sisters and brother with their dad eating their breakfast.
Rita: Kids look who came to see us.
The Loud children looked up to their mom, seeing Leni and Logan with her, as they all shouted (Except Lori who just sneered at Logan) when they saw Logan.
"LOGAN!" they loud children shouted (Sans Leni and Lori)
Logan: Hey guys.
Luna: What are you doing here early in the morning, Bro?
Lynn Jr: Yeah! I thought you said it was dinner that we're supposed to be meeting.
Logan: I just thought I could spend the day with you guys before then cause we have a lot of catching up to do.
All the Loud children cheered joyfully (Sans Lori) excited to hang out with their Eldest brother for the day.
Rita: But finish your breakfast first kids before going with Logan for the day.
The Loud children eat their breakfast with haste so they can hang out with their long-lost brother for the day.
Rita: Why don't you go sit on the couch, for now, Son, I'll tell you once they're finished.
Logan nodded and went to sit on the couch patiently waiting for his younger siblings to finish their breakfast. He took out his phone to pass the time but then noticed an acoustic guitar on the other end of the couch.
He went to pick it up and began tuning the guitar. He slowly started strumming the strings before he began singing a song unbeknownst to him that his family can hear him.
(OneRepublic - Apologize, begins to play)
I'm holding on your rope
Got me ten feet off the ground
And I'm hearing what you say, but I just can't make a sound
You tell me that you need me
Then you go and cut me down, but wait
You tell me that you're sorry
Didn't think I'd turn around, and say
That it's too late to apologize, it's too late
I said it's too late to apologize, it's too late
I'd take another chance, take a fall
Take a shot for you
And I need you like a heart needs a beat
But it's nothing new, yeah, yeah
I loved you with a fire red
Now it's turning blue, and you say
Sorry like the angel heaven let me think was you
But I'm afraid
It's too late to apologize, it's too late
I said it's too late to apologize, it's too late, whoa
It's too late to apologize, it's too late, I said it's too late to apologize,
it's too late, I said it's too late to apologize, yeah
I said it's too late to apologize, yeah
I'm holding on your rope, got me ten feet off the ground
As Logan continued singing, he could not notice his family looking at him for he was too focused on the song he sang.
Logan was oblivious from the fact that his family was listening to him singing as they felt concerned about him with some on the verge of tears, Logan was almost finished with the song, completely ignoring his family watching him.
Logan finished his song and was startled when he heard soft sniffles, he looked at where they came from and saw his family looking at him with some already crying and most brimming with tears in the corner of their eyes, Lori was facing her back towards Logan.
Logan: Oh hey, you guys finished?
Logan's sibling came at him, hugging with tears flowing down their cheeks. [Except Lori, who was just on the sidelines with their parents]
As Logan remained oblivious his brother and sisters tightened their embrace with him trying to calm them down but gave up trying mid way and just hugged them back with a single tear being shed.
Logan's Mind: Sorry Guys.
