A/N: Hello everyone, I am back with chapter nineteen of this story. Here; Lori deals with what she did, Carol and Bobby return, Luna talks to Lisa and then there's the ending.

Disclaimer: I don't own the Loud House

The siblings split up with the meeting down for now. The younger siblings had to process this new information. Luna Loud walked to the bedroom of Lisa and Lily. She took a deep breath and knocked.

"Lisa, you in there?" asked Luna.

"I am preoccupied so you must return at a later date and time." answered Lisa, sounding relieved.

"Lisa, I need to talk to you." said Luna.

"I told you I am busy." replied Lisa.

"It's about Lori." revealed Luna.

Lisa did not respond.

"That tells me what I need to know." muttered Luna.

Luna opened the door and found Lisa at her desk screwing pieces into a machine she was working on.

"It's important." said Luna.

Luna began to shut the door.

"Please leave it open." requested Lisa, unnerved.

Luna agreed and walked over to Lisa.

"The others know Lori has been drinking." stated Luna.

"Hopefully, a resolution can come of this." replied Lisa.

"Did Lori hurt you?" asked Luna.

Lisa dropped her screwdriver.

"That tells me what I need to know." sighed Luna.

"That proposition is utterly preposterous!" declared Lisa, clearly lying.

"You're not a good liar." noted Luna.

"It seems the charade has come to its conclusion." groaned Lisa.

"What happened?" asked Luna worried.

"She burst in her and threatened me if I informed anyone of her drinking." answered Lisa.

Lisa tensed up.

"She also pulled on my arm in a forceful manner inducing pain." revealed Lisa.

"Lori actually hurt you." said Luna horrified.

"I am afraid so." confirmed Lisa meekly.

Luna put her hand on Lisa's shoulder.

"I'm so sorry that happened." said Luna.

"It's ridiculous that with my intelligence, I couldn't figure out a solution." confessed Lisa.

"Your wicked smart, but your also four." noted Luna.

"I guess." mused Lisa.

"Anything else happen?" asked Luna.

"No. She yanked on my arm, threatened me if I told anyone and left." answered Lisa.

"I need a second." replied Luna.

Luna began thinking of the next step.

"I believe it is time to bring our parental units in on this." proposed Lisa.

"The problem is...it's still our word against hers." noted Luna.

Lisa was clearly unpleased with this.

"We'll figure out something." said Luna.

"I hope so." muttered Lisa.

Luna looked at Lisa's arm.

"How's your arm?" asked Luna.

"It's fine. Just a little pain after Lori pulled on it." answered Lisa.

"Good to know you're okay." replied Luna.

"So, what should our next course of action be?" asked Lisa.

"Some people refuse help until they fall so low, they can't go any lower." mused Luna.

"The preverbal "rock bottom" as it were." noted Lisa.

Luna nodded her head confirming.

"I'm afraid there might not be much when can do until she reaches rock bottom." sighed Luna.

Luna went to leave, but Lisa grabbed her shirt.

"Don't let her hurt me again." begged Lisa.

"I won't." vowed Luna.

Carol Pingrey was in her room. Carol was on her bed deciding what she needed to bring with her to college and what she could leave. She still had months, but Carol wanted to be prepared. However, Carol found herself far too distracted taking constant glances of a photo of her and Lori on the golf course together. Her train of through was interrupted when her cell phone rang. She didn't recognize the number, but decided to answer.

("Um...is this, Carol?") asked a familiar voice.

"Bobby Santiago. Yes, it is." answered Carol.

("I hope I'm not interrupting anything important.") said Bobby.

"No, but I am curious as to why you're calling me." said Carol.

("I was hoping for your advice.") revealed Bobby distressed.

"It's about Lori, isn't it?" asked Carol.

("Yeah. Your good friends with her so I was hoping you could help.") answered Bobby hopeful.

"Unfortunately, Lori and I aren't on good terms either." reveled Carol regretfully.

("I see.") muttered Bobby disappointed.

"When exactly did this, all begin?" asked Carol curious.

("A few weeks ago.") answered Bobby.

"Lori isn't acting like herself." noted Carol.

("I wish I could tell you what it was.") sighed Bobby.

"Maybe you can." mused Carol.

("Hey, I'll help anyway I can! I miss babe so much!") said Bobby.

"This was caused by not paying enough attention to her...or so she says." began Carol.

("I got busy and neglected her.") sighed Bobby mournfully.

"What exactly did she say to you?" asked Carol.

Bobby thought for a moment.

("Mostly about how I was neglecting her.") answered Bobby sadly.

"Anything else?" asked Carol.

("She did accuse me of cheating which I never did.") answered Bobby.

carol had a horrible idea come to her.

"Sometimes, when someone accusers their partner of cheating...it's because they're guilty over cheating." revealed Carol.

Bobby didn't respond.

"I know it's not likely..." began Carol.

("Lori would never do that.") said Bobby firmly.

"I don't think so either." stated Carol.

("Then there was no need to bring it up.") huffed Bobby.

"Sorry." said Carol softly.

("No. I'm just stressed to hell.") said Bobby.

"I get it." said Carol comforting.

("If I was a few years older, I'd go for a drink.") joked Bobby.

Carol winced at this.

Bobby deserves the truth." muttered carol.

("Did you say something?") asked Bobby confused.

"Where was Lori when you called her?" asked Carol.

("I assume at home.") answered Bobby.

"But you don't know that." replied Carol.

("What's going on?") asked Bobby worried.

"Did Lori every drink alcohol around you?" asked Carol.

("Lori doesn't drink.") answered Bobby.

"She does know. She's been drinking for a few weeks." revealed Carol somberly.

Bobby had to process this bombshell.

("Why didn't you say anything sooner?!") asked Bobby angrily.

"I thought it was personal between you two, but I should have." answered Carol.

Carol heard Bobby muttering in Spanish.

("So...what do we do?") asked Bobby.

"She doesn't want help so there's nothing we can do." answered Carol sadly.

("I'll go to Royal Woods and talk to her.") decided Bobby.

"That would likely make the situation worse." noted Carol.

("So, we're fucked then.") groaned Bobby.

"I'm afraid so." confirmed Carol.

At his store, Flip was having a dull day. He had not had many customers in and the few he did were too wise to tricks for him to fool. On the bright side, he still had the nude pictures of Lori to look forward too. Flip was snapped out of his fantasies when the phone rang. Flip hurriedly picked it up fumbling the phone a few times before getting a hold of it.

"Flip's Fuel and Food." said Flip.

("Hey you son of a bitch.") said a man happily.

"Hey Joe, how ya doing?" asked Flip.

("Good thanks to pics you sent.") answered Joe happily.

"I knew they'd be a hit." replied Flip.

("Barely legal is just how I like 'em.") said Joe.

"I take it they're very popular then." mused Flip.

("Almost five hundred hits in an hour.") said Joe.

"Damn!" exclaimed Flip surprised.

("Please tell me she has a sister.") requested Joe.

"Ten and a couple are almost eighteen. Three in the next three years." noted Flip.

("I could kiss you!") cried Joe ecstatic.

"Hey, you Flip isn't a homo." noted Flip.

Joe chuckled.

("How did you convince her?") asked Joe curious

"I told it was modeling and she bought it no questions." answered Flip arrogantly.

("Softcore pornography is like modeling...except our clients are horny teens sad old men.") joked Joe.

Flip felt offended.

"Is that a slight at me?" asked Flip.

("Of course not.") answered Joe reassuring.

"Okay then." replied Flip acceptingly.

("You should get this girl back; the site is flooded with hits.") stated Joe.

"Old Flip can pull her strings easily." stated Flip.

("I hope so.") said Joe.

The phone called then ended.

"If Lori didn't want naked pictures online, she shouldn't have agreed to pose nude." shrugged Flip indifferently.

Lori Loud felt like crap. She had her money and had new flask full of rum to make her feel better. However, Lori felt sick to her stomach. She knew that her parents wouldn't let her stay home as she showed no symptoms. Normally, they siblings would go to Lisa, but that bridge was burned. It was a new morning and Lori got into the bathroom to shower before school.

"I literally wish I could stay home." groaned Lori.

Lori began to undress, but it stirred up memories of her photo shoot.

"Dammit." moaned Lori.

Lori removed her removed her clothes as quickly as possible and stood nude.

"That wasn't so bad." said Lori.

Lori suddenly found herself posing nude before a lusting Flip.

"Stop!" cried Lori.

Lori turned the shower on and made sure the water was hot.

"I did what I had to do." whispered Lori.

Lori hopped into the shower and began washing up.

"Your boyfriend is one lucky bastard!" declared Flip.Lori couldn't help but wince at the mention of Bobby.

Lori shook her head.

"Squish your breasts together." ordered Flip.

Lori used her arms to squeeze her breasts together as a drooling Flip took pictures.

"Stop it." said Lori to herself.

"Time to lose the panties." said Flip.

Lori turned the heat on the water up to the point it was scalding.

"Turn around and bend over." demanded Flip.

Lori turned around and bent over for Flip.

"You got your mom's wide hips." whistled Flip.

"Get clean. Get clean." said Lori frustrated.

Lori pulled down her panties in one swift motion. A minute of silence followed.

"Flip?" asked Lori.

Lori looked back and saw Flip starring at her womanhood.

"Why can't I get clean?" asked Lori freaking out.

Lori was forced to leave the bathroom after her siblings complained she was taking too long. Lori had used up the hot water forcing her siblings and parents to take cold showers to their dismay. Lori drove herself to school still all of her siblings decided to maintain a distance. Upon entering school, Lori noticed people point and snickering. Becky and Dana suddenly ran up to her.

"What's so funny?" asked Lori.

"Oh My God, she doesn't know." said Becky horrified.

"Do we tell her?" asked Dana.

"She's going to find out eventually." noted Becky.

"You two are literally confusing me." said Lori.

The two shared a glance.

"There are some...photos that have been circulating since last night." began Becky.

Lori felt her heart drop.

"Show me." requested Lori.

"We don't know who..." began Dana.

"Show me dammit!" barked Lori.

Becky handed her phone to Lori who saw her nude pictures on the internet for everyone to see.

"I'm going to be sick." said Lori disgusted.

A/N: That's where we'll end things. The story progresses and Lori's photos are out. Next time, the explosive fallout. Please review.
