What Have I done
Chapter 3: Encounter
Here he was once again. In the same place he was earlier today. In his room, but he wasn't thinking, he was crying instead. He ignored the constant knock that were constantly banging on his door. The cries of some sister telling him to let them in went deaf in all of his ears. I was just trying to help, he said over and over again in his head. He just wanted to make sure that his sister was making the right choice, but he guessed not all people want to think rationally.
He then heard a certain voice coming the door, "Son let us in in please."
It was his mother. Her voice soothed his mind along with the thoughts that were rotating around his head over and over again. He needs someone to calm him down, and that person had to his mother. This also made wonder where his dad was in both of the situations that had happened today. Maybe his mom was the one with the words and maybe he was the one with the authority. He still needed to think about how the power of his parents, because at some points it seems like one can have all the power while one sits on the outskirts.
He then got up and opened the door and saw his mother in the doorway looking down at him. She then entered his room., and it seemed that everything was going in repeat from what had just happened this morning.
"So what happened?" Rita said feeling like she was back in the same situation as before.
She felt just like how Lincoln was feeling. She thought like everything was going in repeat again. She didn't like this feeling one bit at all. She didn't want to feel how she felt earlier before. After she had finished talking with her son after the first problem. Se felt like she didn't do as well as she had wanted, and she feels like she will probably do the same thing that she had done before. She loved her son, but sometimes she felt like she didn't know how to help him sometimes.
"I tried to reason with Lori, but when I did, she didn't even think about trying to agree. She just wanted her way to go through this." He explained.
"What happened for you to be like this?" She asked.
"Well, when I tried to tell her that we maybe making a mistake and that we should let things be, it went deaf in all ears, and then told me that I would have to do it because she didn't want to loose what she had with Bobby. After that she threw me out of room while grabbed me by the collar."
That was it. You can argue, but when her children started to hit one another that drew the line. She was done with all of this madness about this problem of Ronnie moving and she was get up with it. She didn't care that her daughter's boyfriend was moving, she wanted this moving thing to stop.
"I'm going to have a talk with your sister. This is unacceptable!" Rita said as she got up.
"Mom wait," Lincoln called, "It's okay."
"What do you mean it's okay. She threw onto the ground for heavens sake!"
"Don't you remember the first time that Bobby had dumped her?" Lincoln questioned.
Lincoln remembered the mess she was in. Her hair was messed up, her mascara was running down her face as well. She also had a river of tears running down her face as well. He remembered the reason why she was like that. It was because of him saying the wrong thing in front of Ronnie Ann. He didn't want her to be the same reck she was in before, and plus it was because of him.
"I don't want her to go through that again. Even if they do keep in tact at long distances I don't think it would be the same for her. I want her to suffer like she did before, so I guess it's worth a shot."
"Are you sure son, you don't have to do this, even if you want to."
"It's okay mom, besides it's worth a shot, and plus it could work!" Lincoln said with a little bit more enthusiasm.
He wasn't enthusiastic about the chance of Ronnie staying, but the chance of his sister being happy was starting to get to him. He wondered a little but why he want that, even though his sister threw him onto the ground, but he didn't want to think about what had happened right now.
After the talk his mother walked out. He decided to stay in his room a little while longer, not to think about things, but just to get a little bit of free time. The house was a little more quiet than usual, but he knew that some of the loud house was still loud.
After about five minutes he walked out of his room and and went downstairs. He checked the time and it read 4:35. It still seemed pretty early so he decided to go outside.
"Hey mom I'm going outside for a walk!" He called.
"Okay, but make sure you come home before dinner. Your dad is making his pudding for dessert.
He then walked outside of the loud house and walked down the sidewalk. The birds were chirping, while the sun beamed throughout the city. The sky was spotted with clouds that gave temporary shade from the sun.
Lincoln was enjoying the fresh air. He didn't really like the tension in the house lately, so he needed a way to be relieved from the drama. He knew he was stressed from the whole scenario, so he needed to cool down. After about ten minutes of walking he sat a bench at the park.
The bench was right underneath a tree so it provided protection front eh suns evil beams of heat. He just at there and closed his eyes. He could feel the wind blowing through the air as he sat down and enjoyed the fresh air, but it wouldn't last for long as a voice called his name.
"Lincoln?" It said.
Lincoln instantly panicked as he realized what the voice came from. He didn't want open his eyes to prove him right, but he had no choice. As he opened his eyes he saw the infamous Ronnie Anne.
"H-Hey, Ronnie Ann." He stuttered.
Why as he so scared? Was it because that he had scared or was it because he didn't really know what to do it this situation? Or was it because he wasn't ready to face her face to face yet. He had a plane, and that plan was supposed to take place tomorrow, right then he would be ready to talk to her, but right now wasn't really best time for him to talk to Ronnie.
"What are you doing here?" Lincoln continued.
"Nothing much, just trying to chill while I have the chance." She responded.
"Why, what's going on?" He lied.
He knew why she was trying to chill out. She was probably being stressed out about her moving away. He was also furious that she was still trying to hide it from him. Why was she being so confusing? It would have been easy for her just to tell him now than just face him telling her that he had already found out.
"Right now, I really don't want to talk about it." She responded.
'Why don't you want to talk about it. Is it because you're too scared?' Thought Lincoln didn't want to stay here with someone who hides something from the person they "love". He didn't want to hear her lies anymore. She better have a pretty explanation for why she is doing this to him because if she didn't he doesn't know how to take it.
"I gotta go. See you tomorrow!" He said while getting up.
"Lincoln wait." She called after him.
"What's up?"
"N-never mind." She concluded.
Lincoln noticed this. Maybe she did want to tell him, but something was holding he back. Something was on her mind, and was going to find out what that was. Not now, but when the time came.
He then walked his way back home, but he walked slower this time. Mostly because he knew that he would need to know how to act when he meets up with Ronnie tomorrow at the arcade. He didn't want to act like how he did a couple of minutes ago. He tried to think that it didn't matter because he was caught off guard, but it didn't matter. He knew that he would need to know how he was going to lead his way into convincing her to persuade her father.
When he came home it was about one hour later from when he had left. He went up to his room and sat onto his bed to think about what had happened though our this day. Him and his sister had gotten into a fight, he had a mission to do for her as well. It was all getting to him, and he thought about quitting on the deal, but he knew that it would not end well, so he had no choice but to do it. He was too far into a pit for him to even be pulled back up.
He knew that she wanted to tell him, but something was holding her back from telling him. Was she scared? At this point Lincoln didn't even know at this point of time. He was confused, and worried at the same time.
Lincoln decided to take a nap and try and sleep for awhile. Maybe he would need to think about for a little bit.
A/N
OMG! I am so sorry for missing so many days. I was caught up in testing so I didn't really have time to write. Plus I had to rewrite this chapter twice because I was unsatisfied with what happened in the chapter. The chapter is also shorter than usual. Sorry about that. My chapter are usually over 2,000 words. I'm sorry if I disappointed you guys, I'll try to upload soon.
