Bobby Santiago never thought of himself as a coward, growing up in an abusive home. Having to stand up for his Mamma and Ronnie Ann, Bobby grew up quick. Working to provide when his mom couldn't, Bobby was used to going without. When his mom started nursing school she sat him down, and thanked him. It was surreal for him as his mom started crying, Bobby never knew how much she appreciated him. After that she told him that he didn't need to work so much, Bobby was dumbfounded. He started slow working less hours, to his teachers relief his grades improved tremendously. Bobby finally felt that he was able to let his hair down, he even started dating. Swallowing Bobby looked at the door to Lori's home, lately things were off between them. Starting his relationship with Lori, Bobby was excited. Lori was beautiful, smart and funny...
The problem began after the first month of dating, Bobby remembered Lori leaning in for a kiss. He froze, unsure what to do. It felt awkward and it lacked the warm feelings he thought it would cause.
Bobby battled internally with this, telling himself that he loved Lori.
It was a lie.
Bobby had fallen for one of Lori's siblings. In the time they dated he started realizing that he wasn't in love with Lori, it was something that he felt for Ronnie or his mom that familial love. That was until he met them, Bobby knew it was unexpected but something just clicked whenever he saw them. He found excuses to come over to the louds home just to catch a glimpse of them. The guilt from lying to Lori was getting to him, Bobby thought she was an amazing person but he just wasn't attracted to her in the physical sense.
Knocking on the door, Bobby tried to calm his troubled mind. Lynn let's him in and Bobby walked up the familiar stairs, stopping to look longingly at his crush down the hall.
Hopefully Lori wouldn't be too mad.
Sitting together on Lori's bed Bobby tried to explain how he felt, the blonde listened quietly with a thoughtful expression on her face.
Lori waved good bye to Bobby as her now ex boyfriend went home, part of her wanted to be mad but a larger part had suspected that Bobby wasn't happy with her. The spark was missing and now Lori knew why, it wasn't her fault after all.
Bobby was gay, he was interested in guys. Lori had started to question Bobby's actions during their last break up, they hardly ever kissed, he didn't like to touch her. It was alarming but now she knew the truth. After a heart felt conversation they cried like in those lifetime movies that Leni liked. Lori and Bobby promised to be friends, after Lori got to thinking about how cool having a gay friend would be. However Bobby dropped some serious news on Lori, " I have a crush on one of your siblings".
Lori froze for a minute as an image of Lincoln flashed through her mind. Grinning the teen already shipped them together.
From the living room Leni, Luan and Luna watch TV. Luna turns to the side to see Lori rubbing her hands together and laughing, raising an eyebrow Luna turns to Luan in concern.
" should we check that out "?
Yawning Luan changes the channel turning on dream boat. Squeaking Leni claped her hands, "I love dream boat, it my totes fav"!
Lynn walked out of the kitchen giving Luna a dry look, " we are not included in this part of the plot, it's a Lori and Lincoln problem".
Growing more confused Luna wished her parents were home, she almost never saw them.
So weird.
" Don't be an attention whore, you've gotten more writing time than a good portion of us. Heck Lisa isn't even in this story" Lynn lectured.
Luna frownd realizing that she was a fictional character forced to live out in a scripted fashion.
Sitting with the same lack of compassion of her sisters Luna watched the TV endlessly.
Lori sat Lincoln down like any good sister would, Lincoln was such a cute kid, Lori knew she was mean sometimes but she loved her siblings even if they were pains in the butt.
" Lincoln there is someone I know who has a crush on you", Lori began.
Lincoln looked at his sisters in astonishment, one of her friends liked him? The knowledge that a high-school girl wanted him was a total ego boost. Plus Lori had tons of hot friends.
Grinning Lori stood up and looked down at her brother, "there is an age difference between you but your crush has a secret they also need to tell you.
Nodding enthusiastically Lincoln could practically imagine what this friend looked like, Lincoln was just discovering girls and just the thought of one made him hard.
Texting Bobby, Lori let him know that Lincoln was into the idea of meeting. She was the best, Lori basked in a glow of self satisfaction knowing that she wasn't only helping a sibling but also a friend. Leaving Lincoln, the blonde turned of the light to give them a romantic atmosphere.
Lincoln frantically stripped his clothes, there was girl that liked him coming her. His prepubesent body was coursing with arousal, reclining on the bed Lincoln hears a figure quietly slip in and sit next to him. The two just sit for a minute, Lincoln feels a warm hand grasp him. Gasping Lincoln savors this feeling before Bobby Santiago's sultry voice whispers in his ear, "I love you Lincoln".
Leaning against the wall by the stairs, Lynn can hear Lincoln scream in horror. Lori came down earlier, gloating about being the best sister ever. Lynn stared blankly at the teen, Lincoln runs down the stairs naked being followed by their sisters ex boyfriend.
Blinking Lynn wondered if this was real life?
Lynn was unsure what life really was, sitting down next to leni. Lynn pondered the very meaning of her existence, Leni smiled pleasantly and wrapped an arm around her.
" it's just the way the story's got to go"
Looking deep into her older sisters eyes Lynn searched for some reassurance from leni, something to help sooth her fears. Luna was uncaring of both of them, almost in her own world. " it's not our story, it does us not interest to bother. We couldn't help anyway ".
A themed music played as credits started to roll, Bobby chased Lincoln through the neighborhood, while Lori posted pictures to swiftly pic. The other louds waiting patiently in a different story, waiting for their turn.
