Acceptance Chapter 6

Leni left the room feeling extremely happy. As she headed back to to find Lori; after all, her first person of interest already knows that Lynn is gay and it would be a pointless decision to allow her to do it anyway. As she was thinking this she realized she walked downstairs without realizing it, she was used to this but it was always something that she hated because it always perpetuated people's misguided opinion of her. She was to nice to complain. She wanted to call her family stupid, call them assholes anything and everything entered her mouth but nothing but self loathing and silence came out. If she could not make them see her as normal she would blend in and become invisible, if she is treated like she is nothing why feel like anything more. That is what she used to think. Now she thinks she need's to be seen and heard and she is going to change herself like Lynn is. She went back upstairs to confront Lori when she heard a loud BOOM!

The explosion knocked the door open and Lori stumbled out she looked to me and said "She knows and didn't care. She didn't bother warning me about her chemical mixing".

As they headed back into their room they hear a faint "And that is why you Neanderthals always knock first"

As they entered the room Lori fixed her hair and sat down on the bed. They picked up their list when they heard a knock.

Leni answered whoever knocked "Who is it. What's up"

The obvious dark and void voice made it instantly clear "It is I; Lucy, and I would like to speak to you my dearest sisters."

They looked at each other and quickly hid their list and Lori wanted to know so she asked her "Lucy is this important, it better be"

Lucy and nodded and said "I am not sure as to why this is, but Lynn has been lying a lot lately"

You could cut the tension with a knife as their nervousness was barely kept hidden from Lucy

Lori trying not to sound nervous said "What do you mean?"

Lucy smirked and said "I took one of her hairs last night and used it as a DNA connection to the other side. It is how I found out about you giving away your relatives belongings to Bobby. It is also how I found out that Lynn was lying. They did not say what or why. They just said that he lied, about something".

Well they knew that at least for now that deflection was the best thing to do here. So they sat her down and changed the subject.

Lori looked to her and said "So, how are you and Rocky"

Tomatoes matched her pale face by the time that sentence was over. And she looked to them and said "They are going great. I am going to meet up with his parent's next week".

They talked about his date plans for the next few hours that they could spend before going to sleep. They were ecstatic that they dodged a bullet. especially now that they were horrified to know that Lucy really could speak to people from the other side. Every time she said their Grandmother was disappointed in her; Lori disregarded it, and Leni ignored it. Now they were going to have to reassess things, like how to behave, and their life.

The following morning came and Lynn was up and running to meet up with Ronnie Anne before meeting up with Lincoln to go see Clyde. When she caught her Ronnie was waving.

Ronnie laughed and said in a jovial and humorous tone "What took you so long, I bet I could have scaled Michigan by the time that you got here"

Lynn laughed and chuckled and said "Oh yeah; prove it. I'll get the camera. that'll be great."

Laughing was making conversation difficult so they calmed down a bit to actually talk.

Ronnie Anne looked to Lynn and said hey there is no school today so do you wanna grab a bite and Lynn happily nodded.

They arrived at the burping burger and sat down. After placing their orders Ronnie whispered to Lynn. "So, I would like to ask you something. Are you comfortable enough to tell me yet."

Ronnie knew that Lynn was not her friend very long but at the same time, she also knew her longer than when they were closer and she was just as great a friend as she pictured so she decided she could trust her. So she whispered back. "Yes, I feel comfortable doing it now. Just not here."

Lynn felt comfortable telling Ronnie Anne for two reasons; one is that she is dating Lincoln Loud and there is also the fact that she could only assume how bad Bobbi would make her feel if she turned on her over this. Not that it mattered she was going to stay positive. They finished their food in peace and left a good tip for the waiter. Once they arrived outside Lynn looked to Ronnie Anne and said "We need to go to my house it's the only way for this to work".

Ronnie Anne did not get why the location mattered but did not push it; not her secret so she shouldn't judge. So she simply nodded.

Lori went to talk to Luna. The trip itself was exhausting with the bickering of the other sisters giving her a migraine. She was already popping a nerve when Lucy tugged on her pants leg and yelled

"Lola took my hat"

"Well, you took my tiara. You take my stuff and I take yours..."

Lori had enough and yelled "Enough". Lola and Lana looked surprised at her outburst, they just looked at her. She looked at them and sternly said "Lana; Lola's tiara and Lola; Lana's hat, now" They did as they were told and eventually got over it and went back to playing. As she left to go to the garage, the only thing running through mind was the garage. She got there and knocked".

Luna answered, The blaring music of Iron Maiden was filling the room. Making it hard to hear. She turned the radio off and went to her with a smile.

Luna asked genuinely "What's up dude, love the company. this is uncommon though, any reason you wanted to do this."

In a very serious tone she said yes and they went to sit on one of her studio chairs.

Lori looked to Luna and told her the truth "Listen Lynn has been having a bad week and not for the reason you think. Before I tell you why that is I need to know some things".

That was weird wording for Luna as she assumed that this was directed at her somehow so she got a little mad and asked "What is that supposed to mean"

Lori had to backpedal because she could see the steam coming from her sister's ear's right now.

So she decided to clarify "Don't worry. I'm not accusing you of anything. I realize this isn't much better, but the real reason is because I don't know if you knowing is a good decision".

Luna was getting really pissed but did not want in any way to prove her point so she cooled herself down and asked her politely "What did you want to tell me?"

Lori decided to cut the tension with honesty "Lynn is going through issues with her own demon's right now. The baseball thing was a facade and honestly not a good one."

Luna went from mad to confused to concerned so she was far more interested now so she asked her "If you knew that why keep it a secret what could be so bad that you would not tell your family".

Lori did not give a long counterargument; but she gave a good one "11 people in a household, with ten being not her is a really big mouth Luna when put together at least".

Luna nodded she did not like being wrong. Her pride was second to her sister and her pride would be further swallowed here. Lori looked to Luna and asked her a very simple question. "Are you okay with Clyde's parent's"

Luna was extremely confused so she said "yes, why wouldn't I be?"

Lori was dead serious too so she was left in silence to think before she figured it out and started laughing, really hard.

Lori was extremely confused so she said "What's so funny"

Luna laughed, and in a half mocking tone looked to Lori and said "I don't know, let's see. You go to the only bisexual in the entire household and tell her her sister is a lesbian and act like it matters, like at all. How did you not know, what the heck. I talk about Sam and smile any time you bring her up. Never crossed your mind. Not even once. Okay..."

Lori was dumbstruck with this information. Were they the only two or... it didn't matter, not to her. If it was true it would be if not than it wasn't meant to be. She looked to Luna and said "Well don't tell anybody else and come to our room later tonight as we might need you and your; insight."

Luna laughed harder than before and fist bumped her.

Lori went back inside and mostly ignored the white noise. She got to her room to find Leni. Lori asked her "Did you get get any progress with Luan."

Leni nodded no and said simply "Truth be told I fell asleep". I had a speech for AP Geopolitics and that is exhausting. How about you, did yours go well."

Lori beamed and said "We got an ally in this fight".

Just than the door opened with Lynn and Ronnie Anne. Lynn looked to Ronnie Anne and said "we need to go to Lori and Leni's room."

Lynn knocked on the door and opened it but with a friend and Lynn simply said with a huff and a sigh "I trust her, let's get this over with"
