Lincoln Loud was sitting in the living room by himself, staring blankly at the TV as he was lost in his train of thought. He was thinking about how things worked in this household, having to deal with his sister, along with everything he's been put through with them or because of them. And in the end of it all, things don't always seem to go his way, and he felt like either himself or his sisters were mostly to blame. He suddenly had to put those thoughts aside as he heard his sister, Lori, calling out to him, saying "Hey, Lincoln? Can you come out here? We need some help."
"...Coming.", said Lincoln. Heading outside, Lincoln found his sisters, Lori, Lynn, and Lola working on some kind of...thing. A pully system to be exact. Lynn and Lola were holding onto a rope while Lori was checking on what they were lifting. It was some kind of case and it looked extremely heavy.
"Uh, what's going on?", Lincoln asked. "We just need help keeping this thing off the ground while Lori takes a look at it.", said his sister, Lola, who was straining to hold onto the rope. "But, THIS IS GETTING RIDICULOUS!"
"Oh, calm down.", said Lori. "That's why I asked for Lincoln to come help you hold onto the rope."
"Me?" Lincoln questioned. "I'm not sure if that's a-"
Lori interrupted, saying "Lincoln, no one else is home right now, and this is taking forever. Help us out now, and it'll be over before you know it."
"...Alright then.", Lincoln sighed. Soon after, Lincoln positioned himself in between Lynn and Lola, holding onto the rope tightly with all his strength.
"Try not to mess up.", said Lynn. "We've worked months on that thing."
"What is it?", Lincoln asked.
"Oh, just a new case to put in the house.", Lola replied. "We've spent months working on it, and now, we gotta find a way to put inside."
Lincoln started asking"And, how is a pully system supposed to-" Suddenly, Lincoln could feel like his nose was getting tickled, causing him to get a little sniffy. Lynn and Lola knew where this was going, and panicked, knowing if Lincoln sneezed, he'd bump into them and they'd loose their grip.
Lola yelled out, "Lincoln, don't you dare sneeze!", followed by Lynn saying, "Pinch your nose our something!"
Thinking quickly, Lincoln his nose as best he could, and felt the urge to sneeze go down. Relieved by this, both Lynn and Lola let out sighs. But suddenly, Lynn sneezed, causing her to lose her grip and fall backwards, bumping into Lincoln, who bumped into Lola, who also lost her grip. The only one who didn't let go as Lincoln, who couldn't pull the rope on his own and it ends up pulling him upward as the case ends up falling down to ground. Lori, Lynn and Lola were panicking as the case rattles for a few moments, but then stops and everything seems to be okay, which makes them relieved once more. Except, Lincoln falling down and landing on the case, which then shatter beneath him, leaving the three girls twitching to see months of work ruined...
"Ow.", groaned Lincoln.
Lori yelled, "Lincoln, look what you did!"
"We spent months working on that thing!", Lola continued.
Lincoln replied, "I'm sorry, I was just trying to help."
"Maybe you should be more careful next time! Now, we gotta start all over!", Lynn growled.
"He won't get to help next time, Lynn.", says Lori. "Seeing how's bound to mess up!"
"Hey, you're the ones who asked me for help!" Lincoln argued. "Plus, Lynn's the one who sneezed and made herself and Lola lose her grip!"
"Don't try to put this all on me! I'm not the one breaking things!", Lynn said back.
"Oh, come on!", yelled Lincoln. "You're not even asking if I'm alright or not! I could've been seriously hurt!"
"Not everything has to be about you Lincoln.", Lola said, snobbishly.
"...Oh, forget it.", Lincoln said. "There's no point talking to you guys."
With that said, Lincoln storms back inside and starts heading up the stairs. As he did, he said to himself, "I can't stand those three sometimes. Lori's always angry, Lynn's prick in my side, and Lola's just a huge brat! They ruin there own things and blame me for it."
He then heard some footsteps coming from behind him, and turn to see Lynn walking towards him.
"Hey, Lincoln.", said Lynn.
Lincoln replied, saying "Lynn, I told you, I don't want to talk you right now."
"Can you chill?", asked Lynn. "Look, what I'm trying to say is sorry for going at you like that. But you did ruin all our hard work."
"How is that an apology?" complained Lincoln. "All of you went against me and it wasn't even my fault! It was an accident, and you couldn't even understand that!"
"Okay, there's no reason for you to be lashing out like this!", argued Lynn
Lincoln argued back, saying "Yeah, actually, there kinda is! You guys take me for granted and you don't even see it!"
"When have we ever-?", Lynn started, but stopped herself "...Wait a minute."
"That's what I thought.", said Lincoln, as he continued up the stairs.
"Okay, we may take you for granted, but we treat you fairly.", Lynn replied.
"Really?", Lincoln said. "'Cause half the time, that doesn't even seem like the case to me."
"Okay, now you're just getting mad over nothing!", said Lynn, forcefully turning around. "We treat you fairly, Lincoln; we care for you, we wouldn't keep you around if we didn't."
"You hardly seem to be the caring type, Lynn!", growled Lincoln.
Lynn argued, saying, "That's not the point, Lincoln!" It was then that Lola, who was still peeved, came in to tell Lincoln something. She said to him, "Hey, Lincoln! Lori says you should help clean up the mess you made!" Hearing how he was responsible didn't sit well Lincoln, who continued to grow angry, as he yelled out "Oh, shut it, Lola! I've had enough with your bratty attitude!" That left Lynn and Lola surprised by Lincoln's anger. But it didn't stop Lynn from talking back, saying her already enraged brother, "Watch it, Lincoln! You don't get to talk to Lola like that! And maybe, if you weren't such dead weight, we wouldn't have to start over because of you!"
"...That's what you think of me, Lynn? Dead Weight?!", said Lincoln with a twitching eye.
Lynn soon realized what she just said and regretted it instantly. She was about to tell Lincoln that she was sorry for saying that, but suddenly, her vision turned black and white as she felt pain on her face and she felt herself flying across the hallway. Lincoln punches her so hard that she ends up slamming onto the door at the end of the hall. This left Lola shocked, as she quickly went over to look at her sister, who now had a bruised eye and a nose that is starting to drip blood. Then, Lori came in, saying, "Hey, what is taking so-?..Oh, gosh, what happened!"
"Lincoln punched Lynn in the face!", screamed Lola.
Hearing this left Lori shocked, as she didn't expect Lincoln to have punched Lynn. This also left her angry at him, as she scowled at him and then went to go check up on Lynn. Lincoln was taking a look at his fist, seeing the blood stained on it, wide-eyed, as if he just woke to realize what he just did. He looked over to his sisters, than back at his fist, clenching it tightly as tears formed in his eyes. Without warning, Lincoln went into his room, slamming the door behind him and locking it, hoping no one would be able to come in. He sat on his bed, let the tears run down his eyes, feeling like he only had himself to blame. Why did he get so angry? He loved his sisters, but...now, it feels like he just can't stand them. He's had about enough of them, leaving him with only one thing to say...
"I need to get out of here."
