AN: That's right I'm back. And yes, I passed ALL of my classes during finals week in my last year at my current school. That school tried to fail me but that shit didn't work! Better luck next time, oh wait, there will be no next time because I'm transferring schools! Goddamn I'm so glad school is over with and I'm residing in the suburbs now. Y'know away from the that literal war zone in Chicago. Now all my friends is gonna miss me but I told them I'll still keep in contact if I need anything.

Now I noticed it's been a month since my last chapter, and due to obvious reasons I couldn't update. But the main reason or reasons was because I was moving into my new house, and because I been drawing ever since I set my PC backup and hooked up my new drawing tablet. And I've been drawing amazing art ever since. But, I decided to get back into the rhythm of writing again before I drag it out any longer than I need to. So without further adieu, let's get back to business.

UPDATE: I have an important author's note at the end of this chapter.

DISCLAIMER: I do not own any of the Loud House or make any money off of it.

There are many variables of not getting any sleep. Your energy levels can be at a all time high, you can go to sleep and then all of a sudden you wake up in the middle of the night because it's too hot and you can't go back to sleep, or just simply wake up in the middle of the night and just can't get go back to sleep. Butone of the worst scenarios of not getting any sleep, is when you have a nightmare and shoot up from out of your sleep. In this case, Luan was going through this right now.

She looked around and had to regroup to make sure that what she saw in her dream did not translate to reality. Once she realized that it was a dream, she started to tear up. Not because of the scary dream she had, but because she remembered that she is back in reality, and her brother is in the hospital. The only positive thing about this is that her brother is still alive. But still the fact that Luan's brother is hurt and in pain right now is because of her.

Luan's cries went on for a couple minutes before her roommate started to wake up and hear her cries. Luna started to hear her sister's cries and she sat up to see what was wrong. She climbed down their bunk bed, watching her step because it was too dark and only the only source of light was from the moonlight from the window in their room. Luna sat down on edge of her bed, but Luan didn't notice her yet.

"You okay sis?" The rocker asked the joker.

Luan looked up at her, she didn't say anything, all she did was cover her face with her covers on the bed. Luna frowned at her actions, but she still wanted to know what was happening.

"Luan, why are you crying?" Luna shook her a little bit.

"Leave me alone Luna." Luan depressingly said. "I don't wanna talk right now."

"Please Luan, I wanna know what's up with you. Just talk to me." Luna encouraged her.

Luan didn't respond. She stayed silent for the next thirty seconds, but before Luna was about to cut her losses and go back to bed, Luan took the covers off her head. Luna gave all of her attention to Luan as she sat up and wiped her tears off her face.

"I..had a n-nightmare." She started. "...About L-Lincoln."

Luna started to see where this was going. "What happened in your nightmare?"

Luan started to recall everything that she had dreamed about before she shot up from her sleep. "It was like any other day around here...but you guys had to go out and run some errands, while me and Lincoln stayed home." She said. "So I was writing an important essay paper for school, and it was ruined when he made me spill water over my paper that I worked hard on. I don't know what game he was playing, what was called...um, Fortmine? Or something like that?. But anyway, Me and him got into an argument which then escalated to a fight because of something I said…" Luan stopped as she felt another tear forming in her eye.

Luna scooted over towards her, and rubbed her back in comfort. "What did you say to make him want to fight you?"

"I said...I said that I wish I had a brother that wasn't much of a screw up as him."

Luna was shocked to hear this come out of her mouth. Dream or not, they were always thankful for the brother that they have right now.

"So then what happened?"

"Me and him, started fighting, and...I knocked him down the stairs, and I-I pretty much b-beat him to death." She said as a hot tear came out of her left eye. This made Luna's jaw drop to the floor and facial expression change completely.

"Did anything else happen?"

"Yes…" Luan said. "As I was beating his lifeless corpse, you guys walked in and saw me beating on him. Lisa had to confirm that he was dead." She started to tear up again. "Then Lynn came charging at me for murdering our brother. And that's when I woke up." She finished.

Luna felt the pain and guilt that Luan is going through. She often had to comfort her younger sisters whenever they had nightmares. And with Lincoln on rare occasions. Usually that's something their parents and even Lori have to take care of, but she often found herself looking after her younger siblings when I nightmare occurs.

"Dang dude, that's harsh. But the good thing is that it's over now." Luna comfort the sad 14 year old.

"That's why I had to wake up, I just felt too real." Luan replied. "I had to make sure that Lincoln was dead for real. Speaking of which, is he doing okay? Mom and dad didn't specifically say what happened to him."

Luna bit her lip trying to think of the right words to tell Luan. She didn't want to sugarcoat anything so she just told her the whole truth. "Lincoln's in pretty bad shape dude. His left arm is broken, and his shoulder is fractured. He sprained his wrist and his ankle. And he has a major concussion and cracked ribs from the fridge." She told her. "So he's going to be out for a while."

This only built up the guilt that Luan had about the entire situation. "Did he say anything about me?"

"Not per say, he did seem a little...you know...a little ticked off when we brought up your name." She explained.

"Oh god…" Luan said putting her hands on her head.

"I know this may seem a little bit much, but when you're ready we'll take you to go see him. That sound good?" Luna asked Luan. She only nodded in response.

"So do you think you'll be okay? You think you can go back to bed?"

"Yeah...I think so."

"Okay, good night sis." She gave her a hug, Luan returning the hug afterwards. And with that Luna climbed back up the ladder, and climbed back under her covers and drifted back to sleep. Slowly but surely, they were both out like a light. But for Luan, this was still just the calm before the storm. She still has to go to school tomorrow and not too soon she'll have to deal with a couple people that hasn't heard the news yet, and one that has been boiling over from the whole ordeal.

AN: Okay I know this chapter was WAY too short than what I intended for it to be. I was going to extend it to where either Ronnie Anne or Clyde gets woken up to the devastating news about their friend in the middle of the night, but I feel that would've been too unrealistic to have them receive a call at like 3 am, so I just stopped here. But don't worry, they'll find out within a short period of time.

Now onto the main point of why I've been MIA for almost 2 months. One reason was because we were still unpacking our stuff into our house, which we finally got done...mostly. But the main reason or reasons was because my world was turned upside down when I woke up to the news that XXXTENTANCION passed away a couple weeks ago. I've been going from sad, to depressed, to mad, and back to sad again. So it took me about a week to feel better and to get back into rhythm after seeing Incredibles 2, some people decided it was cute to spark up some drama and lies about me and my friends LoudTV, and TheLynnster.

We've had hackers after us left and right, and just pointless hate over some stuff me and TheLynnster said about 7 months ago about LunaLoudVevo. If you watch our videos, you will understand. So this has been going on for the past week, the hat is finally looking like it's slowing down. So I had to get this chapter out just to clear my head of all the bullshit going on recently.

P.S. I've been drawing and posting art on my Deviantart page so that also was the reason for the delay. My Username is GwoppyTrai just if you're interested in checking it out. But Chapter 6 is in the works right now and this time it won't take months to put out. Thank you for your patience.
