Chapter 2
To be honest, I really don't want to talk about what happened next. Let's just say there were lots of screaming, Lynn came rushing to my side, and pretty soon everybody knew what happened and were all crying. I honestly didn't know what to think at that time, it just all came down so fast that I just couldn't deal. That night however, that's when something really hit me.
Flashback
"Go tuck everyone in and meet me back at my room", Lori instructed me as she wiped her eyes. Just now, a lot of people were at our house. Neighbours, friends, pretty much everyone. As the final guests were leaving, I trudged upstairs and decided to start in Lily and Lisa's room.
"Knock knock, can I come in?" I walked into the room and saw Lisa standing next to her bed wiping her glasses on her shirt. "Oh hello Luna. To what do I owe the pleasure of this visit?" "I was just wondering if you wanted to.. you know.. talk?" I peeked into Lily's crib and found her sound asleep. Good. " I know what youre thinking. You're thinking I'm hurting about the news. But I'm perfectly fine. I don't want to express my feelings, nor do I need comforting." She climbed into her bed and looked at me expectantly. "Um, okay, whatever you say." I walked towards her bed and sat down beside her. "You know I'm always here right? Whenever you need me Lise, I'll be here, okay?" "I know Luna, thank you. I- I love you." She said warmly as she gave me a hug. "Love you too, goodnight", I walk out of her room and knock on Lincoln's door.
When I peek in, I'm disappointed to see that he's asleep. Great, I wanted to talk to him. I know it's hard for him, especially now having to grow up with his sisters and no parents. I sigh as I walk towards the twins' room. "Asleep yet?" I poke my head into their room. I see Lola in Lana's bed, and they're both covered in tears. "Aw, c'mere you two." I sit beside them on the bed and they both immediately bury their faces into my chest and sobbed. I stroked their heads. "It's gonna be okay guys. We can get through this, alright?" I pulled away and wiped their tears away. "But it's so hard Luna" Lana sobbed. "I miss them so much" Lola cries as she and Lana both start tearing up again. It pained me to see my baby sisters cry. I loved them so much, and I couldn't bear to see any of them hurting. After about 20 minutes of comforting them, I finally got the twins to bed, tucked in and all. After closing their door, I groaned. My shirt was now wet from their tears. Great. Heading on to Lucy and Lynn's room, I knew this was going to take a while.
As soon as I walked in, I was surprised to find Lucy and Lynn already in bed, but none were asleep. I decided to head to Lucy first, knowing Lynn wouldn't say a word. "Hey Luce. How you holding up?" Lynn snorted. "I'm sorry, do you have a problem?" I asked. I know I shouldn't have been snappy, but at this point she was pissing me off. "How can you ask her how she's holding up? Of course she wouldn't be fine. No one will be fine. Everybody is hurt. Everybody is crying. You can't possibly think Lucy's feeling like a bucket of sunshine, do you?" She snapped back. "I know this is hard," I said softly, "but we need to be there for each other. Losing mom and dad is a big change, and a hard one. But as long as we're here for each other, we'll get through this. Together." I look at Lucy, who was quiet this whole time. "I'm fine," she suddenly spoke up. "It's going to be hard, but we can get through this, just like you said" I gave her a hug, then walked over to Lynn, who was facing the wall. "Go away Luna," she said harshly, her back still facing toward me. "Whoa dude, no need to be sassy. I just wanted to know if-" "I'm FINE. I don't need your sympathy." She interrupted. "Lynn," I say softly. "I was just going to say that if you ever need anything, I'm here." She didn't move, or turn around. I sigh, as I start to walk out. When I get to the door, I look at Lynn, who still didn't look back. "I love you," I whispered. I wasn't sure if she heard me, but I didn't care. I peeked into my own room, to see Luan fast asleep. I had comforted her earlier, and she had went to sleep early saying she had a headache. So I decided to head straight to Lori's room.
Lori was sitting on her bed with Leni beside her, and she was looking at a picture of our whole family, WITH mom and dad. When I entered, she looked up at me with tears in her eyes. "Luna, I don't know how to say this, but the police called earlier. They're gonna split us apart."
Ooh, what did Lori mean by that? And is their family really going to be split apart? Find out in the next chap, which will come soon!
