A/N: Hello everyone, I am back with chapter twenty-one of this story. Here, Lori talks with her friends and Bobby.

Disclaimer: I don't own the Loud House

Lori was grounded indefinitely by her parents. The rest of the night past in awkward silence as did the following morning. Lori stayed in her room all day being suspended from school. As she went to the kitchen for a snack, she noticed a trio of familiar faces at the back door and let her friends in.

"What are you doing here?" asked Lori.

"Checking up on you." answered Becky concerned.

"You'll get in trouble if you're caught ditching. I'm not worth it." answered Lori.

"Yes, you are and its study hall." stated Dana.

A minute of awkward silence followed.

"So...you went through with it." noted Whitney.

"I pawned my bracelet for a flask and lost it so that's how I got my new one." answered Lori.

Whitney, Becky and Dana didn't respond.

"Let me guess, you're here to tell my you can't be friends with my now." said Lori hurting.

"We'll always be by your side Lori." replied Dana.

"But we also think you need help." added Becky.

Lori laughed coldly.

"That's literally rich coming from you." said Lori coldly.

"This whole...issue with the pictures was a wakeup call for us and we all quit drinking." revealed Becky.

"Seriously?" asked Lori surprised.

"We all talked and agreed this had gone too far and needed to stop." explained Dana.

"Plus, I realized I was acting just like my mother." groaned Whitney.

"That's great." said Lori.

"So, you're getting sober too?" asked Dana hopefully.

"I literally never said that." answered Lori.

"Why not?!" asked Becky surprised.

"I need it to calm me down." answered Lori.

"Even after this?" asked Whitney.

"We're changing the subject!" declared Lori firmly.

Becky, Dana and Whitney decided not to push the issue right now.

"Do I literally want to know what people are saying about me?" asked Lori.

"No, you don't." answered Dana.

Lori took a moment to think.

"I'll regret this, but I need to know." replied Lori.

"Mostly that you're a whore." said Whitney.

"Figures." sighed Lori.

"There's a bunch of stupid rumors about fucking guys in the bathroom or working as a prostitute." added Becky.

"You've got a new nickname: Whori." revealed Dana.

"I can never go back to school." stated Lori.

"Of course, you can." replied Becky.

"We'll be there with you." added Whitney.

"It's better you distance yourself." replied Lori sadly.

"What about Fairway?" asked Dana.

"I'm not going. My acceptance was suspended." answered Lori.

"I'm so sorry to hear that." replied Whitney stunned.

"I'm such an idiot for doing that." groaned Lori.

Becky put her rights on Lori's shoulders.

'It's okay. We'll get through this." said Becky.

"You guys are literally the best." stated Lori.

"have you heard from Bobby?" asked Dana.

Lori winced.

"No and I'm scared too." answered Lori shamefully.

"I'm sure he'll understand." said Whitney.

"That is girlfriend is a drunk who'll take her clothes off for her next drink." scoffed Lori.

Becky checked her cellphone.

"We have to go so if we want to make it back in time." noted Becky.

"Go. You guys helped me enough." said Lori gratefully.

Lori watched her friends sneak out and leave. She spent the next hour feeling overall a bit better. However, her concern over explaining the situation with Bobby loomed over her like the Sword of Damocles. The fact her parents took her cellphone at least gave her time. Lori was snapped back to reality when the home phone rang. Knowing it could be an emergency, Lori picked it up.

"Hello. Loud residence." said Lori.

("Hello Lori.") said Bobby stoically.

Lori felt her heart skip a beat.

("I know you didn't hang up.") stated Bobby.

Lori gulped nervously.

"I think I know why you're calling." noted Lori.

("No shit you know why I'm calling!") snapped Bobby furiously.

Lori was taken aback by Bobby's tone.

("We need to talk now!") declared Bobby.

"Okay." agreed Lori.

Both waited for the other to go first before Lori bit the bullet.

"This was a mistake." said Lori.

("Or was the mistake getting caught?") asked Bobby bitterly.

"What is with you?" asked Lori concerned.

("Nude pictures of my girlfriend, which I knew nothing about, are on the internet!") answered Bobby irate.

"Bo Bo Bear..." began Lori.

("Don't Bo Bo bear me.") said Bobby coldly.

Lori felt her heart ache.

("Who?") asked Bobby.

"Who what?" asked Lori confused.

("Who took those pictures.") clarified Bobby.

Lori took a deep breath.

"Flip." answered Lori.

Bobby scoffed.

("Don't bullshit me.") demanded Bobby.

"I'm not!" declared Lori.

Bobby laughed.

("Don't is Monty?") asked Bobby.

"I don't..." began Lori.

It suddenly hit her.

"He's a basketball player at Saginaw State." answered Lori.

("So, you accuse me of cheating when you're cheating.") replied Bobby.

"I kept him from taking advantage of my friends." said Lori.

("Is that why he says you gave him a handjob?") asked Bobby.

"I never..." began Lori.

Lori suddenly had flashbacks to her second run in with Monty.

"Oh My God." said Lori horrified.

Lori had to stop herself from puking.

("Lori...") began Bobby.

Lori was horrified to hear Bobby use actual name not Babe.

("Don't pretend you aren't there!") declared Bobby.

"I might have..." began Lori.

("You fucking slut!") screamed Bobby.

"I was drunk!" cried Lori.

("So that makes it okay?!") asked Bobby angrily.

"Of course not!" cried Lori.

Lori began to sob.

("How do I move past this?") asked Bobby hurt.

"I'm sorry!" cried Lori.

("That won't be enough.") stated Bobby.

"I'll do anything!" declared Lori.

("Lori...") began Bobby.

"I'll let you bang Leni!" screamed Lori.

("What?!") asked Bobby surprised.

"If that is what it will take." explained Lori.

("That's low.") spat Bobby degusted.

"I'm just trying to fix this." said Lori.

("Frankly, I don't know if it can be fixed.") sighed Bobby.

"Don't say that!" gasped Lori horrified.

("I'm supposed to trust you won't screw around again?") asked Bobby agitated.

"It will never happen!" declared Lori.

("And you had the balls to accuse me of cheating on you.") said Bobby disgusted.

"I'm sorry!" wailed Lori.

("I don't think this is going to work.") stated Bobby.

"What do you mean?" asked Lori horrified.

("The trust is broken and I don't think it can be repaired.") answered Bobby.

Lori froze in terror.

"Please tell me you aren't saying what I think you are." begged Lori.

("I'm breaking up with you.") confirmed Bobby.

Lori felt her heart shatter.

("You broke my trust and I can't get over that.") stated Bobby.

Lori began to cry wildly.

"Please!" begged Lori.

("Goodbye.") said Bobby.

"Don't go!" cried Lori.

Bobby didn't respond.

"I'm begging you!" exclaimed Lori.

Lori dropped to her knees.

"I'm on my knees begging!" declared Lori.

("You're embarrassing yourself.") stated Bobby.

Bobby hung up.

"No!" screamed Lori.

Lori dropped to her knees and sobbed. After several minutes, she hung up the phone and raced to her room. Once her siblings returned home, they stayed clear of Lori who enjoyed the privacy. However, one sister in particular heard Lori crying and had to do something about it. There was no way Leni Loud could hear someone crying and not try to brighten them up.

"Here I go." whispered Leni.

Leni knocked on the door.

"Go away." said Lori firmly.

"I said go away." repeated Lori louder.

Leni opened the door and popped her head into the room.

"Leni, I thought you knew what go away means." huffed Lori.

Leni entered the room and shut the door behind her.

"How can I leave when you're crying?" asked Leni.

Normally, Lori would have found this endearing. But she was not in the mood.

Please tell me what's wrong." requested Leni.

Leni walked over to her sister.

"Bobby broke up with me!" wailed Lori.

"Oh My Gosh!" cried Leni.

"I'm a slut. That's all I am and all I will be." sighed Lori mournfully.

Lori buried her face in her pillow.

"I want to be alone." said Lori.

"It's okay Lori.

"Leave." said Lori.

"But you're totes sad and I want to help." said Leni.

Lori shot up.

"You know how you can help?" asked Lori.

"Yeah." answered Leni enthusiastic.

Lori pointed at the door.

"By leaving." answered Lori firmly.

Rather than follow her finger, Leni noticed something was missing from Lori's wrist.

"Um Lori, like where's your bracelet?" asked Leni innocently.

Lori laughed coldly.

"You really want to know?" asked Lori.

"Yeah." answered Leni confused.

"I sold it." revealed Lori.

Leni felt her heart shatter.

"Why would you do that?!" asked Leni horrified.

"I needed money for my first flask and that bracelet got it." answered Lori.

A devastated Leni felt her legs wobble and Lori began to feel guilt.

"It was just a piece of metal. I can be replaced, but our bond can't." stated Lori.

Leni hung her head.

"I bought that as a gift and you just sold it. As far as I'm concerned, you're not my sister anymore." stated Leni coldly.

A/N: That's where we'll end thins. I never intended Lori's friends to be antagonist and they had their eye opened now that Lori's photos are public. Also, Bobby has dumped Lori and Leni, of all people, has disavowed her. Next time; we deal with this, check in with Rita and Lynn Sr. then do I have an ending planned. Please review.
