Note: Welcome back and Happy New Year! Enjoy!
Peace, quiet, and tranquility.
Peace, quiet, and tranquility.
Peace, quiet, and tranquility.
Bubbles floated from T.K.'s nostrils as he meditated underwater. With a keen ear, he can hear his siblings screaming and shouting joyfully above the surface, playing in the pool or relaxing in the beautiful sunny weather. Quiet can definitely be associated with the boy since he really keep to himself. Calm can also be grouped with him as well. Anyone can tell that his skateboard was broken and he'll just shrugged his shoulders and go, "Meh, I'll buy another one." Although, he may be miffed more easily when he has an off day.
He been with the Louds for a while. The skater quickly had to get adjusted to the zany lifestyle lest he wanted be left behind. As much crap that they knowingly or unknowingly put him through, it would be very hard for him to outright hate his brother and sisters. T.K.'s meditation halted suddenly as a small finger tapped his nose.
Opening his eyes, he found Lana grinning and waving at him. He grown to the dirty Loud twin more so quickly than Lola. He sometimes helped her with her pets or with fixing various things in the house. Thanks to her, he know some ins and out of plumbing. Lana pointed upward, signaling him to come up for some reason. T.K. nodded as he followed her up. He needed some air anyway.
The two breached the surface as they both gasped hungrily for air. "There you are, T. Lana and I are about to have a chicken fight but she needs a partner," Lynn informed with Luna on her right side. T.K. looked to his left and saw Lana with the most ADORABLE puppy dog look ever.
"Please, T? Lincoln won't let me climb his shoulders," Lana begged, leaning on T.K. for more effect. T.K. chuckled before rubbing the young girl's head.
"Say no more, grease monkey. Climb on," T.K. instructed coolly, leaning forward. Smiling widely, Lana quickly climbed up. She almost kicked him in the process. "'Ey, watch the face!"
"Sorry!" Lana apologized, sitting securely on his shoulder.
"Oi, ya loves ready ova there?!" Luna shouted, Lynn already resting on her shoulders as well.
"Yeah! Let the rumble commence!" T.K. responded, sounding like a 1920's commentator. The two teams made their way to each other. "Get ready, baby girl!" T.K. warned to Lana, who nodded in response.
"1,2,3, PUSH!" Lynn counted, clasping her large hands with Lana's smaller ones. The two pushed and pushed for dominance but neither side was giving in. Lana was giving everything she got with her shocking amount of strength. Or it could be that Lynn was simply holding back and giving her a false sense of hope. Lynnsanity was about to let her have it until…
"Lynn, don't be literally too rough with Lana!" Lori called from the other side of the pool on her floatie. Lynn groaned before turning toward the elder sister. Lana quickly act on this lack of concentration.
"I'm not, Lorrrrrri!" Lynn screamed after Lana gave her one mighty push. She was sent falling into the pool with a splash while Lana cackled victoriously.
"Ha, ha! I win, you lose! Woooo!" Lana hollered happily.
T.K. patted her back, "That's my grease monkey. Such a lil' opportunist!" He reached out his hand for a high five, which Lana slapped his hand with glee. Lynn finally resurfaced with a frustrated frown.
"I demand a rematch! That was totally cheating, Lana!" Lynn complained angrily. Luna patted her shoulder in a attempt to calm her down.
"Dude, chill! It's just for fun. Not everything is a contest," Luna reminded flatly.
Lynn couldn't believe what she was hearing, "Come on, Luna! That was total bulls-"
"Everyone, come on. It's time to go," Lori ordered, climbing out of the pool. Everyone groaned as they climbed out also with their pool toys. Lana looked down at T.K. with a worried look.
"You don't think Lynn's mad at me, right, T?" Lana asked, hiding behind his dreadlocks in fear.
T.K. waved a dismissive arm at the question, "No, no. She just need to simmer down a bit." He looked towards Lynn, who ripped apart a towel with her bare hands like a rabid animal. Who knew losing could make you look and act like a raging psychopath? "Actually, make a meatball sub as an apology. Or maybe two." With Lana still on his shoulders, he made his way out of the pool.
Twenty minutes later…
"Alright, twerps! I called first dibs on the shower," Lori gloated, walking through the front door. This drew immediate ire from the younger siblings. She always have the first on any and everything or so help her GOD!
Lincoln furrowed his brows and placed his hands on his hips, "Wait a minute, Lori. There are other people in this house, ya know!"
"Yeah, I'm not sitting around while I waited for my turn. I reek of chlorine!" Lola whined, stomping the ground.
"Poo poo!" Lily babbled, slitting her eyes at Lori as well. Everyone chipped in with their own reasons to use the shower as well until a new voice ended the peanut gallery.
"My, aren't the all of y'all the cutest bunch of kids ever!" A female voice chirped. T.K.'s pupils pinpricked at the famililar southern twang combined with ebonic richness in the voice. There…there no way that she's here of all places! …Is she? Sweating profusely, T.K. turned to the source of the sound. The Louds followed suit to find a middle aged African American woman sitting peacefully on the couch with a cigarette in her hand. She wore a peach long sleeve shirt, denim short shorts, and black sneakers. She wore a cheetah print headband that had a big, poofy afro behind it.
"Oh, like, hi! We honestly didn't notice you there! Say, you looked—familiar. I can't, like, put my finger on it," Leni pointed out, causing everyone but the woman to face palm.
"She IS familiar physical wise, Leni. The woman looks like our adopted sibling," Lisa compared, making everyone zip their heads back and forth.
Mouth agape, T.K. finally founded his voice. "That's…that's my ma. Yvette," He revealed quietly, causing everyone to gasped in shock. This woman had some nerve to come out of the blue after all these years! This is his chance to get some answers outta her! Squinting his eyes and gritting his teeth, he moved Lynn out of the way roughly and pointed to her. "What the HELL are you doin' here!?"
Quickly, Yvette snapped out of her seat with a glare of her own. "How dare you talk to your mother like that!?"
T.K. let out a dark chuckle at the word, mother. What made her so special to use that word!? To T.K., she's an utter disgrace to every mother around. "HA, mother!? You may given birth to me but you don't DESERVE the right to be called my mother!"
The Louds' mouth curved downward and they furrowed their brows as well. They finally get to meet the woman that caused so much turmoil to T.K. and his father. Now, this was there chance. "So. We finally meet." Luna remarked sarcastically.
Lincoln crossed his arms, "Where is our mom and dad?"
"They're out. I wanted alone time so that I could explain to Terrence about what happened long ago and during the trial." Yvette responded, sitting back down on the couch.
T.K. snorted, "Well, start right now. You have the floor, Yvette."
"Yeah, and it better to be literally good!" Lori warned. Now, this will end, she would be out of his life once more, and everything will be back to normal. The sheer number of people made Yvette nervous. She's letting her pride get in the way of explaining it. She pulled at her shirt collar in a cold sweat.
"Well!?" Leni urged impatiently, tapping her foot rapidly.
"Terrence, please. I really want to discuss this alone with you!" Yvette begged.
Lucy shook her head, "We have as much of a right to listen as T.K.!"
"Yeah!" Lola and Lana added with gritted teeth.
Yvette shook her head rapidly, causing T.K. to growl in irritation. "Fine, God!" He turned around to the others. "Can y'all head up to your rooms, please? She ain't budgin' until she gets her way." The others gave worried looks from the proposal. They didn't want to leave him to deal with his mother on his own. From the rare times and hints of anger as T.K. explained his mother, he had some choices words to said to Yvette.
"Oh, oh, alright. Please holler if she, like, tries anything, Terri," Leni informed, giving him a tight hug. She and the others head upstairs but not to their rooms. They simply stood behind the walls of staircase entrance into the upper hallway.
Yvette pats the couch with a warm smile, "So, you wanna have a seat with your mama?"
The offer was declined with a harsh growl from T.K., "I'm comfortable right here, thank you."
Yvette flinched from cold answer, "Alright, then. My parents basically sheltered me from the day that I can walk, talk, and fend for myself. When they finally eased off of me, I went to my first party. That feelin' of freedom felt euphoric; however, freedom led me down to a series of bad decisions. The only good decision was giving birth to you but I was too blinded by the vices of high school to show you the love and care."
T.K.'s frown hardened. He recalled some points where Yvette came home late, smoking and drunk as she fought with his father and grandmother. The cruel words, the screaming, and the overall insanity unnerved T.K. as he watched from behind the couch. Still, he has one other question for her. "So, what about the trial? Got some elaborate sob story for that?"
"No, I was in desperate need of money and the drugs brought out the demons in me. I sincerely apologize for doing that to you, your father, and grandmother." Yvette answered while rubbing her arm uneasily.
Meanwhile, Lincoln and the girls listened on from on top of the stairs. The snow haired boy shook his head disapprovingly, "Something tells me she is not sincere."
"Yeah, you don't just drop outta the blue just to reconnect with someone." Lynn nodded. Leni gripped the corner of the wall tightly in anger. Any more pressure and the paper thin wall could crack.
"I swear if she, like, hurts him..." Leni growled. Lori heard the wall beginning to crack and rubbed her shoulder in an attempt to calm her down.
"Leni, calm down. I'm know that you're very uncomfortable about this but she wouldn't go that far. This isn't like you," Lori pointed out with a raised eyebrow.
Slowly, T.K. digested everything that was spoken to him. One side wants to call her out for basically tearing the family apart but the other side wants to believe her and let her back into his life once again.
"Terrence?" Yvette called to him.
Sighing, he faced her with a wary look. "Why should I believe you?"
"I understand that I'm the last person that you wanna see but please, Terr Bear, give me one mo' chance to make things right with you." Yvette prodded, clasping her hands together.
TK sighed while massaging his temple, "I need to think about it."
Yvette nodded with a smile, "Ok, take as much time as you need. I'm stayin' over at the hotel in downtown. I'll be seein' you son." She stood up and walked towards left the house. TK closed it behind her and rubbed his aching head. This was too much to handle on a summer day. A day in said season that calls for TOTAL relaxation not total drama!
"Ugggggggh!" T.K. groaned as Lincoln and girls slowly stepped out of their hiding place. They head towards the skater to check on him.
"TK, don't accept it! Who knows what she's up too?" Lincoln questioned with an raised eyebrow.
"Yeah!" The girls added quickly.
T.K. pounded his head against the wall. As much as he loves them, he want to solve this on his own; however, it couldn't hurt to explain what he wants to do. "I don't know. One side is saying: do it, do it! But the other side: no, she's only going to hurt you, fam. I'm actually conflicted."
Luna groaned in annoyance as she grabbed T.K.'s shoulders and gave him a good shake, "Dude, THINK! Who just randomly appears again after so long to reconnect with you."
"I know that this is a HUGE red flag to all of you as it is to me but...she at least deserves a chance," T.K. argued. Yvette may have good intentions this time around. She seemed mellow throughout the conversation.
Lori growled, "She had her chance and she literally blew it!" She gave a deep sigh. "Look, Tee Kee. Ever since we adopted you, we began accepting you as family. Sure we have our ups and downs but what separates real families from fake ones is love," Lori explained with a warm smile.
T.K. nodded slowly, "I…get it."
"The choice is yours but we hope you make the right one. Just take this moment to consideration," Lincoln advised cautiously.
"Yeah, got it," T.K. nodded before leaving for his basement. Everyone else looked on in concern before going up to their rooms.
The next day…
T.K. strolled through the park on an early afternoon to think in peace about the events from the previous day. He sat down on the bench. The more he thought, the hazier the solution is to him. T.K. groaned in frustration, "I wish you was still here, Pops. Ugh, this is brutal!" He saw Yvette walking down the same pathway to him. When she saw him, she smiled and quicken her pace. The skater felt bile coming up from the mere sight of her, "And it was about to get worse."
"Terr Bear! I didn't expect you to be here." Yvette squealed, sitting down with him.
T.K. gave a grin that reeked of awkwardness, "Heey, you." He takes out his GS 3D in an attempt to ignore her. He still wasn't sure to talk to her but Yvette didn't seemed to get the message.
"I hoped that you was thinking about us yesterday, hun," Yvette said, shuffling in her seat.
T.K. rolled his eyes, "I was sorta." He continued to play but he lost, causing him to groan in anger, "Crap!"
Yvette looked towards him in concern, "What's wrong, darlin?"
"I lost again. Besides, why do you care? You don't even play video games," T.K. responded in a sarcastic manner. What could she possibly know about video games. She's too old to even care.
Yvette raised an unconvinced eyebrow, "You won't know unless you let me see it."
TK sighed before he gave her the GS 3D, "Fine."
She looks very intently towards it before snapping her fingers in realization, "Ah, you're using a rear wheel drive car. The streets are too wet. Use an all wheel drive car."
TK's eyes widened at this surprising amount of knowledge. There's no way that it could actually worked. Can it? "Oook." He does what he is told and eventually he actually wins this time. "Huh, that actually worked! How you know?"
"Contrary to popular belief, I do play video games in my downtime from my actin'," Yvette bragged, checking her nails.
This took a interesting turn for T.K. She was many things but an actor? He tilted his head curiously, "You act?"
"Mostly B-list movies but it's enough to get by. Have you ate?" Yvette pried.
"No, I just snuck out of the house to clear my mind," T.K. replied, shaking his head.
Yvette held her hand to her chin in thought, "Hmm, breakfast on me?"
TK nodded, "...Yeah." They began to walked down to the diner.
Two hours later…
Every single Loud, parents included, were lounging in the living room. Worry was in the air for T.K.; he's been gone all day and they were fearing the worst. Finally, their fears were put to rest as T.K. and his mother came through the door. "You know, I may take up on that offer, ma," T.K. informed with a smile.
"That makes me so happy, Terr Bear," Yvette commented.
Rita stood up with relief in her face, "Oh goodness, T.K. Where were you? You've been gone all day."
"Oh, uh. I've been gone all day to think about yesterday. Ma so happen to meet up with at the park. And…you know. The rest is history," T.K. responded, looking away from Rita's stare.
Yvette could tell the air of awkwardness from the situation alone. By a landslide, everyone but T.K. didn't like her at all, and…she understands completely. Luckily, her phone rang, prompting her to pick up the phone and answer. "I just take this and be on my way. I'll see you tomorrow, Terr Bear." She left quickly.
Lynn Sr. scoffed disdainfully, "Hm, seems to be the only thing that she's good at from what I learned." With a trained ear, everyone caught that shot. Especially T.K.
"What?" T.K. questioned, gritting his teeth.
Rita gave a warning look to her husband, "Lynn, please."
"No, Rita! T.K., how could you be so blind!? You really going to let the woman, who cause emotional pain and tried to steal your will money, to you and your father back into your life?!" Lynn Sr. barked. Lincoln and the girls huddled together in fear of a highly volatile situation.
T.K.'s mouth was agape. The boy was only doing what he think is what's right. What gives Sr. the right to breath down on his neck for simply forgiving someone? "Papa Loud, that's messed up. You can't just disrespect her like that! Sure, she messed up on untold proportions but she at least making amends. Geez, give her SOME credit!"
"The hell with your mother!" Lynn Sr. spat venomously. Rita and kids gasped from his outburst.
"Lynn, for God's sake!" Rita groaned, grasping his elbow.
However, Lynn Sr. wasn't done, "She swings by after six-"
"EIGHT!" T.K. interrupted sharply.
"Oh, pardon me. EIGHT years and acted like nothing happened!? Wake up, Terrence. This is the same woman who didn't gave a damn about you to check up on you when your father died!" Lynn Sr. snapped back.
"Dad, stop it!" Lori demanded.
Her call fell on deaf ears as T.K. quickly fought back, "She made a mistake. I'm sorry that everything can't be up to your standards, Papa Loud. But if I can forgive her, how come you can't?!"
"Because she's not doing this for you. She's doing this for herself and if you think any differently, then you're a idiot!" Lynn Sr. insulted.
"DAD, STOP!" Leni screamed angrily.
Lincoln stepped up from the huddle, "Everyone, please! Calm down! Let's just sit down and talk this rationally."
"No, Lincoln. Ain't even nothin' to talk about. I've been waitin' for this for a long time, my whole life and ain't nobody going to stop me! Not even YOU, Papa Loud. Come the end of tomorrow, I'm going on a trip with her to Los Angeles for the summer!" T.K. revealed.
"WHAT!?" Everyone exclaimed in shock. Lynn Sr. quickly recovered from this and glared back.
"You aren't going nowhere. Not if I have anything to say about it!" Lynn Sr. growled, fuming red. T.K. has had enough of this! Where was this when his own kids was acting out? Why only him that gets this side alone?
"WHO CARES!? YOU ARE NOT MY FATHER! HELL, YOU AREN'T EVEN A GOOD FATHER TO BEGIN WITH!" T.K. roared blindly. Everyone gasped once more. Lynn Sr.'s jaw dropped from that bombshell. That was a total low blow to his pride.
"W-what?" Lynn Sr. pried tearfully.
T.K. smirked as he capitalized on this. "Yeah, from Lisa conducting experiments on everyone. You and Mama Loud barely did nothing about it, and when the time did come, it was simply a groundin'! When Lynn kicked out Lincoln because he bad luck, the both of you AGREED with her! Let's not forget April Fool's Day where Luan, on TWO occasions, raise HELL with her pranks! Where was you two? Hidin' in Lisa's bunker like a bunch of yella bellies! Also, you, Papa Loud, sided with said prankster girl to save your own hide!" He cast a glare the ones he accused, who gave guilty looks away from the glare. Looking back to Lynn Sr., the poor man was about to break down crying. "Now, we're done here." He walked to his room while the rest comforted Lynn Sr.
One hour later…
Rita and Lynn Sr. were brooding over the huge, explosive fight. Everything that T.K. said was a truthful but viciously cold stabs to their hearts. Lynn Sr. was taking it worse; however, he was only trying to protect the boy from hurting him. Sadly, he only got called out for all of his troubles. Also, was he a good father to his children? He couldn't help but feel…emasculated from the verbal slaughter. I mean, what kind of father throws his son out of the yard!? That's not even beginning to scratch the surface on everything else.
"Rita? Am…am I a good father?" Lynn Sr. sniffed, wiping a few tears away.
Rita smiled sadly and rubbed his shoulders reassuringly. "Yes. Yes, you are. Although, T.K. pointed out the obvious truth, it was in the heat of the moment. He didn't mean that, Lynn."
"Yeah, then why did he say it? For almost a year, I treated that boy like my own son. Whatever he needed, whether it was a pat on the head or a kick in the pants, I was there for him. I worked myself to the bone trying to keep him in line!" Lynn Sr. retorted sadly.
Rita furrowed her brow, "And yet it's come back with a vengeance."
"What? What do you mean?" Lynn Sr. asked curiously.
Rita rolled her eyes, "Need I remind you that you called him an idiot when he's only trying to do what's right for him. I may not like it as much as you do but if he really sure about this. Then…we should let him."
Lynn Sr.'s eyes bugged out of his head, "WHAT!? After the stunt he pulled, you want him to go scot free!? It's like everything that we've done for him didn't matter! No, Rita, what he did was absolutely selfish and I'm completely against this! Are you not even the slightest bit of upset or even angry, woman!?"
Rita kept her cool and pushed on. "Yes, I am upset from what happened but the only one isn't selfish is NOT T.K.!"
KNOCK KNOCK!
The two halted their argument as Rita went to answer the door. Upon opening it, she found T.K., who was looking down at his feet. "Can…I talk to you both?" T.K. asked, keeping his eyes to the ground. It was hard enough for him to man up on the situation at first but the more he thought about it, the more clear it was to him that he need to apologize to his parents since he was out of line as well.
Rita widened the opening for him to come in. "Sure, T.K." The boy walked in and his and Lynn Sr.'s eyes met. T.K.'s eyes faltered a bit from Lynn Sr.'s glare. The matriarch put a stop to the impeding argument. "Lynn, hear him out please." Rita turned her head to T.K. and gave him a encouraging smile, "Say what you have say, hun."
T.K. nodded before taking a deep breath, "I'm sorry. I'm sorry that I practically lost it back there. It was way outta line to dog you two like that. It just…it just that a person like me only gets a chance at a situation like this and I want to at least try. It felt like I was being attacked for only doing what's right for me." At this, Rita shot Lynn a smirk that screamed, 'I told you so.'
"Lynn, do you have something to say too?" Rita asked. Lynn Sr. sighed, dried his tears, and walked up to T.K. He crouched to his level and look him in the eye. Well, time to let fate decide.
"No, you're right, champ," Lynn Sr. agreed calmly to his son's surprise.
"Huh?!" T.K. replied, eyes widening.
Lynn Sr. chuckled, "You heard me. Both sides said some harsh things to one another. I was too deep in my feelings to consider yours. You're not at fault if you decide to go with your mother. Also, I'm sorry that I called you an idiot." He gave T.K. an supportive hold on his shoulder.
"Thanks…Papa Loud," T.K. gushed warmly, hugging Lynn Sr. tightly. The patriarch hugged back quickly. That's one debacle amended. Now, T.K. finally can focus on the one at hand.
"My two men are making up. Room for one more?" Rita asked, tears in her eyes for once.
The two males opened up for her. She quickly clear the distance and hugged them both.
Elsewhere at the same time…
VZZZZZZZZZZT! VZZZZZZZZZZT!
Yvette picked up her phone and answered it without looking. "Hello?"
"Nice to hear that wonderful voice again, Yvette." A low voice drawled coyly. Yvette's pupils pinpricked at the sound. How HE get her number!?
"Royce?! How did you get my number!? I ditched my old phone to get away from you!" Yvette choked, sweating profusely.
Royce chuckled darkly, "It doesn't matta, woman. Now, you been duckin' and dodgin' me for the last time. Do you have the money that you stole from me or not?!"
"W-why does it matter!? I'm turning over a new leaf, so you and your money can go to Hell!" Yvette shrieked, breathing heavily. Only again, Royce chuckled even harder than last time.
"The only one that is in Hell is you, sweetheart. You see, I've been slowly tracking you, asking around the locals, in every city that you been hiding at, for you and I'm getting very close. Tick tock, Yvette, I'm getting closer. The last thing I've heard is that your were heading to a town called Royal Woods. Hope to see you there so that we can get…reacquainted," Royce revealed, cackling before it evolves into full blown laughter.
Yvette dropped her phone as tears began to build in her eyes. Royce's laughter echoed through the hotel room before finally hanging up. Yvette cried softly to herself in silence, soaking the bedsheets.
The next day…
Rita and Lynn Sr. were relaxing on the couch, watching T.V. They were quite happy even though T.K. was heading away with his mother once she comes. It was going to be sad when it happens but they were sure that Yvette can take care of him.
KNOCK! KNOCK!
Lynn Sr. answered the door to Yvette. He took a deep breath before smiling at her. "Hello, Yvette. T.K. isn't here right now but you're welcome to wait for him."
"Yes but that's the problem, Mr. Loud," Yvette hinted sadly. She took a deep breath, "He can't come with me to Los Angeles."
Lynn Sr. raised an eyebrow, "Excuse me? Why can't he?"
"It's that… that he can't come with me ok!? Hollywood has a wide talent pool and I want to be focus at all times! Can't you and your wife just tell him for me!?" Yvette begged.
Rita stood up in an instant with a glare, "Ma'am, Terrence is not a coat that you hang in the closet, then pick it up when you're ready to wear it. His life goes on. He's not supposed to be here for you! You're supposed to be here for him!"
"You get off my back! I ain't got time for no lecture! You think I wanted this?! IT JUST HAPPENED! Now, when Terr Berr was a baby, I was scared...," Yvette began but Lynn Sr. wasn't having none of it.
"CUT THE CRAP, ALL RIGHT?! CUT IT! 'Cause I've been there! But I didn't run out of my family. I was there everyday for them because that's what a REAL parent does!" Lynn Sr. hollered, visibly steaming from this.
"Fine, Louds! You both win. You two are the better parents. Way better than me! You happy? Now, are you gonna tell Terrence or not?" Yvette bellowed with the same amount of animosity.
"No." Rita hissed, silently withholding from pouncing the woman.
Yvette scoffed, "Fine, I'll just call him from on the road." She turned to leave but T.K. was behind her with a present and a big smile. She jumped with a squeal. The rest of the Loud children were there behind him.
"Ma! What's up?" T.K. greeted with a big smile.
"Terr Bear, I'm glad your here. Some business came up that I gotta handle, so we're gonna have to put our trip on hold. You understand, right?" Yvette hoped with a smile.
T.K.'s smile vanished instantly, "Yeah, yeah, that's cool." He could clearly tell what's about to happen.
"Just for a couple weeks," Yvette added.
T.K. gave a small nod, "Mmhm, I understand." Anger is slowly building up in him.
"It was great seeing you, son." Yvette spread her arms open for a hug.
T.K. stepped back to his brother and sisters, "You too…Yvette." The woman in question lowered her arms awkwardly.
"Yvette, don't you dare come back," Rita warned, lowering her eyes dangerously. Yvette quickly left, practically feeling all the glares on her back. T.K snorted as he walked over the couch and sat with a blank face. She did again. And this time, in front of his family. He felt so stupid for giving her a chance again. Lincoln and girls checked up on him.
"Are you ok, T?" Lincoln asked, putting his hand on T.K.'s shoulder.
T.K. calmly took his hand off of him, "I'm fine."
"Terri, it's ok to be, like, mad," Leni reassured, stroking his hair.
T.K. moved his head away from her, "I'm not mad."
"You still have us, bro," Luna reinforced.
Lynn hung her arm around his neck, "Yeah, man."
T.K. growled before tossing her arm away. Pity was the last he needed right now. He stood up with his back away from the Louds. "For the love of God, DROP IT! IT'S DONE! SHE'S GONE! POSSIBLY FOR GOOD! I DON'T NEED HER! I MANAGED BETTER ON MY OWN THAN SHE COULD EVER HAVE!" He opened his present, which had an African styled necklace where the pendant is a mother holding her child. He wasted money on her and this the thanks he get?! For her to flake on him once again!? Angrily, he tossed the necklace away and stomped to his room.
Once in his room, he looked around but only he could see red. His fists trembled as the anger with in him glowed like the fiery sun. Grabbing his skateboard, he swung with all his might to his T.V. The glass cracked instantly under the fierce pressure. Once done, he held his skateboard high above before cracking it in two with a hard knee to the middle. He was only trying to give her a chance! Why him!? WHY HIM!? Does life get some sick joy outta toying one's emotions!?
Tossing the broken skateboard, he set his eyes on his punching bag. Stomping towards it, he grabbed and pulled and pulled before the rope break apart. He let it dropped to the ground before tearing it apart, fluff and all. Upstairs, the Louds overheard the raging mayhem. Lincoln tried to head down but Lori stopped him. "Lincoln, no. We literally need to let him blow off some steam."
Lincoln sighed while he looked at the basement door. Eventually, T.K. was huffing and puffing in the middle of his ruined room. The white haired boy and his sisters slowly crept down the stairs. Slowly, T.K. shifted his head towards them. Tears were threatening to fall out of the poor skater. In front of them wasn't a wise cracking and strong boy, but a heartbroken and lost kid who simply wanted his mother. "W-why? Why doesn't she want me?" T.K. whimpered, tears streaming out as he cried silently.
Lincoln quickly ran up and hugged him. Followed by Leni, Lola, and everyone else. Who knows if Yvette will ever return and explain herself once more? Who knows if T.K. would be compliant to listen? That is…if he even wants to see her.
A/N: I'm back in full effect! Reviews are welcome once more, folks! Also if you have critiques, put 'em in also. I'll try my best to upload but I'm getting ready to go to college. I'll see y'all with a more light hearted story soon.
Dark Man Spectre has come home!
