Bobby was exhausted, living on his own was a new and exciting venture at first but the hours he was working were killing him, in the day he worked at Pizza knight from 8am to 2pm. When he got off he'd text with Lori and try to apologize for whatever he did to upset her, from 10pm to 7am he worked at a local grocery store.

It was all worth it, Bobby patted the ring box in his pocket. When he saw his love next, he'd ask her to become Mrs, Santiago.

Lori was being distant recently, Bobby felt bad because he wasn't able to spoil her as much of go out with her as much as he liked. He loved Lori, but sometimes she could be a little pushy. She begged him to leave home to move down, his mom was worried but Bobby couldn't deny Lori or himself.

He dreamed of holding her in his arms, her her snore next to him. She was so mad at him most of the time, they would be starting college soon.

Lori was going on about needing to get out in the crazy world," I need to sow my wild oats before school starts, after first semester I'm going to start my dream job as a corporate lawyer"!

Wincing Bobby knew Lori's expectations were a little high, he'd tried to tell her that for one she needed to Acquire Undergraduate Degree for starters, then she would need to Pass the Law School Admission Test (LSAT). Not to be mean but Bobby knew Lori was no scholar, Bobby had no choice.

Bobby knew that he needed all the knowledge he could get for a good job, after watching his mom struggle to raise him and Ronalda on her nurses wage, Bobby wanted to do better.

Architecture was something that particularly interested him, but his better knowledge told him that electrical engineering was where the money was at.

Looking in the mirror Bobby grimaced when he sawyer heavy bags under his eyes, his face was kinda stubbley too. Dragging the razor out Bobby just prayed that he cut himself,again.

he wanted to look good for Lori, he was planning on going over to see her today to give e her his proposal. It was nerve racking but Bobby and Lori had been dating for three years now, just seeing her made everything seem worth it.

Just as he was about to hope Into his 2007 pt cruiser, Bobby was stopped by someone calling his name. Turing around he was surprised to see Lori's sister Leni running up the parking lot...

Bobby raised an eyebrow as the blonde stopped in front of him. Leni was visibly out of breath and Panting, her sunglasses were asku and strands of hair kept creeping into her face.

Feeling concerned Bobby lead the out of breath girl to his apartment, his mom always warned him about heat exhaustion as it moved closer to summer. In fact he almost always kept water in his car or close to him at work, it was an unseasonably warm day today too.

Sitting her down, Bobby went to the kitchenette and got a large cup of water. Leni accepted it readily, the exhausted blonde gulping it down almost immediately.

" what's wrong Leni, not the I don't appreciate the visit but this isn't like you"? Bobby questioned as he sat down across from her.

Feeling a little better Leni savors every drink of water, it's cooler inside than it was outside. " I've got something to tell you Bobby, I have one thing I want to ask you in advance. Please don't be mad at me", Leni said softly.

Looking serious Bobby stayed quiet but motioned for her to continue. Nodding Leni started explaining what she saw on Lori's home chats and her sonly fans, Bobby stayed quite but Leni could see his face harden as his eyes were focused on Leni as if absorbing everything she said.

Bobby looked intensely at the pictures, outrage and fury filled his very being. Time dates corresponding with days Lori was mad at him or they were fighting.

Her info page was damming, pictures of his girlfriend naked covered in sweat surrounded by nude guys. All this time she'd been messing around on him, apparently with his friends too.

Grinding his teeth Bobby struggled to keep his temper in check, Leni looked a little afraid so Bobby forced a smile. Leni was kind of sensitive to emotions and Bobby didn't want to scare her, especially since she just saved him from making a major ass out of himself.

The ring in his pocket suddenly weighed a ton." thank you for telling me", Bobby spoke carefully every action controlled. Leni nodded, her eyes wet with emotion.

" I'm sorry"

Sighing Bobby rubbed his for head, he could already feel a migraine brewing.

" do you want a ride home Leni, I don't think the bus runs this late on my side of town".

Squeaking the blonde looked at her phone and winced, it was well after four in the afternoon, " If it won't be any trouble"...

Fumbling for her purse leni pulled out a crumbled five and tried to hand it to Bobby.

Shaking his head the Latino gave leni a small smile, " it's ok Leni, I need to go talk to Lori anyway. I don't really think she'll care either way but I'm going to end our relationship".

Nodding Leni followed Bobby out to his car, he tried to joke around but Leni could see the hurt clear in the older boys eyes.

When they reached the loud house Leni got out of the car first and waited for Bobby, this would probably be the last time Bobby ever came here. In the living room Luna, Lynn, and lola were crowded around watching the dream boat. Luna looked up briefly but soon went back to watching the TV.

"Do you want me to go upstairs with you"? Leni hesitated unsure of Bobby's reaction.

Shaking his head Bobby turned to head up the stairs, not before turning back to take one last look at Leni.

The light over above caught the shine of her hair, to Bobby it looked like Leni almost had a halo." it's ok Leni, you're a good friend. I just want you to know that".

Bobby started up the stairs determined, as soon as his presence was known several loud kids fled from the upstairs. Lincoln refused to make eye contact, infact most of Lori's siblings looked uncomfortable around him.They all knew.

It hurt to imagine his little bro knowing about what Lori was up too and staying quiet.

Shaking his head Bobby knocked on Lori's door, the blonde answered it with one hand on the door and one holding her cell phone.

Looking up briefly Lori barley acknowledged Bobby's presence, " oh, hey Boo boo bear".

After that the blonde plopped down on the bed and went back to texting leaving Bobby standing at the door.

Clenching his teeth Bobby watched as Lori continued to ignore him, it was had to believe that he moved back to Royal woods for her. Even harder to believe that he almost proposed to her.

Clearing his throat extra loud to get Lori's attention, the blonde looked up visibly annoyed.

" what are you doing here Bobby, I told you we were taking pictures for swifty pic tomorrow"?

" I know", Bobby responded.

Texting away Lori, raised an eyebrow not botheringto listento his response.

" I literally have no idea what you'r talking about Bobby, but since your here I could literally use one of your special* back rubs", cooed Lori with a mischievous smile.

The blonde dropped her phone and posed on the bed as Bobby caught second hand embarrassment, " I think we need to breakup".

The sentence went over like a lead balloon, Lori did a double take and squacked, " what"!

Bobby Snorted before pulling out his phone and pulling out his now ex girlfriends sonly fans, "what was this supposed to be Lori"?

Flushed Lori fumbles with her words as she stands up, " it's not like that Bobby, we were fighting".

Frustrated and ultimately disappointed, that's just how Bobby felt in that moment when Lori started fumbling for an excuse, before he snapped, " I checked the time dates on all this crazy shit, I'm not stupid Lori"!

Lori froze but became visibly upset, " what do you want from me ok, you literally spend no time with me Bobby. I'm young and beautiful, and all you do is keep me home"!

Each word from Lori cutting deeply, Bobby winced. After all this time, Bobby wanted the best for her, at one point he loved her. Seeing Lori standing in the middle of the room ranting and pacing back and forth, Bobby wondered if he ever knew the real Lori.

" you know what, Fuck you Bobby. I don't need you anymore, there are lots of guys who would date me. I'm Lori fucking Loud, I'm a prize to be beheld"!

Rolling his eyes at the hulking she beast Bobby gave Lori one last glance before he closed the door, even if the encounter left him feeling like shit atleast he had validation.

When he got downstairs everyone was staring up towards the stairs, frowning Bobby noticed that Leni was the only person not present.

However he couldn't put much more thought into Leni's disappearance, Bobby wanted as far from Lori a he could possibly get.

Pushing past Luna and Lincoln Bobby slammed the door behind him. Lori erupted from her room like lava, Rita and Lynn sr ran towards the kitchen in fear as the rest of the Louds cowered behind various furniture.

Everyone had heard the breakup and could only wonder how Bobby had found out, that's until it became terribly obvious.

Lori screamed" where's Leni"!
