Chapter 474: Checking on Lori again.
(February 10. Royal Woods Women's Penitentiary.)
We now see Lori and she is currently making some origami stuff, she manages to make ten different origami art and she follows the tricks and folding techniques from the book and then she finishes her origami horse and wolf, and then she grabs another colored paper and she thinks of her own trick.
Just then the nearby doors open and she stands up and sees who have arrived. Lincoln, Luna, Leni, Luan, Delilah, Michelle and someone whom Lori has heard about and has joined the Louds. Leslie Lewis Loud.
Lori then goes over and she greets them. "Hey guys. Glad you all came." She then sees Lincoln go towards her first and so she embraces her former little brother. "Hey there, Linc. Good to see you, as always."
Lincoln chuckles. "You two Lori, and I am so excited to be part of my first ever Royal Woods Middle School Valentine's Day Dance. This is gonna be so awesome, is it just as good as prom night?"
Lori chuckles. "Well, from experience of being the first from the others, it kinda seems less than what prom is. Prom is usually held after the big High School Foot Ball Game." They all go over to the table and see all of the origami that Lori made.
"Whoa. That is a lot of origami, is this some kind of project thing in mind or some sort of hoppy?" asked Luan.
Lori chuckles. "Well, neither. I just wanted to try this out and I am dang good at this. I made one that would match to calm down the other fellow female inmates, and they are grateful still of me being around and doing some good advice to the others who all wanna change, and I have gotten through so much of the ladies, they all wanna make things right and be redeemed."
Luna chuckles. "Well, dang. Awesome Lori, surely you'd be the best dang emotional speaker of therapist in this joint. Now, we wanna know about how else have things been doing, any trouble going around from any of the other inmates?"
Lori shakes her head in denial. "All bad vibes here have been repaired and done and I need to tell you girls something... I don't have a roommate anymore, well cellmate."
This surprises them. "Wait what?!"
Lori nods. "Kendall has been given her chance, she's no longer locked up and staying here. She's somewhere else, and she's with her cousin whom she didn't know she had. Apparently she still has family and she's already making plans to join the police force, and I am proud of her."
"The first few days without a cellmate seemed lonely, but I got over it and managed to adapt on my own without seeing my friend and I am chill with it. I do miss her, but I have to let her live her own life and who knows, maybe one day we will meet again."
They're all happy to hear this, then Lori sees the new girl. "So, Leslie... Formerly Leslie Silver, and a former delinquent and juvie inmate, good to see you for the first time." Lori crosses her arms and looks to her sternly.
Leslie looks away nervously, but then she speaks. "Hello, Lori. They told me all about you and the other former louds and I am surp0rised that you are nearby and have chosen to be moved to jail. You could've perhaps chosen to be released and then given the chance to live a normal and good life, and then earn redemption through freedom, right?"
Lori nods. "Yeah, I know. But I wanna continue my part and help the others try and gain their own chances to be redeemed and perhaps they might teach this to any other new comers who all don't wanna be here, and I have been laying down a good impression on them all."
Lori then speaks. "Also, there is no need to be worried about being around me, Leslie. I was told, well I heard about what had happened and how things have been since you first came to the town and then lost your memory and I know that the whole thing of who you are was never your fault."
"I am sorry that you were the bad girl due to the dang stupid ordeals and lies and words from those damned grandparents and I am glad that one of them is dead while the other is locked up and that you wanna change and become someone else and I am happy that you became part of this family."
Leslie is touched to hear this. "Thank you Lori, and I am mostly into tryin to keep back on track with lost education and try to advance from where I am now and then see where it will take me for when I reach High School."
Delilah then pulls Leslie close to her. "I used to hate her, but that was back then and now she is changed and I like this new side of Leslie, and she is impressing me to the fact she is good with her education and I am so surprised that she chose to go to the whole valentine's day dance!"
Michelle also goes over and she hugs her daughter. "I didn't think my little girl already found someone she likes, and she plans to confess those feelings next week! This is oh so exciting!"
Leslie blushes and this causes Lincoln, Luna and Lori to chuckle, and even Leni and Luan smirk and are impressed that Leslie did find someone she is crushing on, and they don't know who it is. Then Lori looks towards Leni. "So, any problems at home?"
Leni then recalls. "Well, Kurt Logann said that he has a big race coming up next month, but he is planning to send me something for Valentine's Day and I need to be on standby for when it does show up, and pretty much nothing else out of the ordinary, besides Chaz not looking so chill when he found out that I have found that special someone."
Lori recalls that one. "Yeah, I know. A dang shame that Chaz is feeling that way, but Kurt is a much more understanding and an amazing person and you two are a dang good and cute couple, and I know that you guys are gonna have a dang awesome future."
"Thanks Lori" replied Leni. "Also, Luan here has been going on several play performances and she is doing great as a director for her theater club. She made five plays and all of them turned out to be awesome and a total success. I am so proud of her!"
Luan chuckles. "Thanks, and I appreciate the words of support. Though, I am not into any relationships since Benny and Maggie are a thing, so I will focus all of my effort and skills and future on what I wanna do, stage theater!"
Michelle smirks. "Well, perhaps they could use an intern for the Royal Woods Theater."
Luan thinks about this. "Now that sounds like a grand stage performing idea!" they all chuckle hearing that.
Lori is happy to see them all doing well and telling how good things have been. 'Dang, everyone has been changing quite well and making time for dreams and futures they didn't know they had. Sure wish this kind of stick was with us long ago, but it's too late for that and perhaps we can give it a shot when we're all out of jail and juvie.'
'I really do question... Our dad back then, Lynnard... Did he show me about golf? Was he trying to help me with my talent or was he just wanting to see me succeed as he would've wanted and just to show off to folks that his kids are amazing and talented, because it's now coming clear to me that he wanted the "Loud" name to be well-known.'
'Well, the last name is now well-known and all thanks to Lincoln and Luna.'
Then Lincoln asks. "Lori, when do you plan to leave this place and have a future with all of us?"
Lori smiles and she goes over and she pulls Lincoln close and into a hug and he returns the embrace. "In due time, little brother. But don't be so down, look I know it feels ad and lonely that I am not around, but you got the others and a whole lot of support."
"When the time comes, I will be released, but on my own terms. I have a lot of other stuff to deal with and I wanna make sure they are all done before I take off, soon. Alright buddy?"
Lincoln nods. "Alright Lori, alright." But what he doesn't know, is that she is lying.
Lori has done her part, and she will be released soon somewhere in either early March of late February and Luna knows about this and so does Michelle and they plan to make this one big surprise for everyone.
Leni is also aware and she has her own plans. 'When Lori does get released soon, she will love what I have surprised for her. Something that can help her, and start a new and better life.'
To be continued...
A/N: Lori is already chill with Leslie and her changed ways and it seems like Lincoln and the others don't know the truth about what will go down with Lori and what will happen when she is released soon, so be locked and prepared guys. I hope you guys enjoyed reading this new chapter.
