So, time to see what Clyde and the others can do to help with Lincoln and his small issue against them for leaving him out of the stuff he wanted to do with them, and also adjust some new rules and a way to pay him back for isolating him. At least he can trust others, but what about those who lied about what they were really doing? I guess we'll have to find out. Enjoy reading this new chapter everyone.
Family of Two.
Chapter 526: Amends from Friends.
(April 18. Royal Woods Middle School.)
The Purple Ferrari of Luna Loud has arrived and the door opens and coming out are Delilah, Leslie and Lincoln Loud, and the white-haired by is on crutches and he sighs at the state he is in, but down he still feels useless and a total burden in this condition.
Luna then comes out of her ride and she hugs her son and then she places a kiss on his forehead. "Linc, calm down. I know this still feels bad, but don't be too upset, at least you're not on the wheel chair anymore, right kiddo?"
Lincoln nods. "Yeah, that is about right. I just hope that things can move a little bit faster so that I can heal faster, this still sucks to me." He then recalls something. "The one thing I need to be cautious, are those idiots I called friends."
Delilah then speaks. "Calm down there, cousin. We're still here, and same with Jordan and her friends and of course we have you're video gaming buddies, right?"
Lincoln nods, then Leslie speaks. "We won't leave you out of some fun stuff, we'll make time for you and that is a promise we don't wanna break."
"Same here." They see Jordan come over and she hugs Lincoln and then he does the best he can to return the embrace as well, and they share a small and loving kiss. "My friends are aware of this and they also had a fun time talking back to the others about the whole thing. Everything is gonna be fine."
"Thanks for that information, my beautiful rose" replied Lincoln, they then see Luna go towards Jordan, Delilah and Leslie and she speaks to the trio.
"Guys, I am trusting you all to try and be there for my son and make sure that those idiots might have some ways or answers on how to make up for what had gone down, because deep down I know that they do have something else planned, and no shadow of a doubt that the whole thing is gonna be once again planned by... Clyde McBride."
Delilah nods. "Sure thing, Lunes. We won't let them do something dumb."
Leslie also agrees. "He is my cousin, he is my family and I am not gonna let him get into trouble." she then recalls one more thing they have to keep an eye on. 'Right, the one thing we also need to look after is the whole... drone from Richmund thing, go I hate that man.
Then Jordan speaks. "We can handle this, Ms. Loud, trust us."
Luna nods and then she hugs her son again and then she kisses his cheeks. "Be back after school, be safe and be sure to hear out what those morons have to say and stand up to them and see what could be solved from the whole ordeal, got it kiddo?"
Lincoln nods. "I know what to do, thanks for that mom and see you when the school day is done." They then watch as Luna Loud goes back into her ride and then she drives off towards her High School, and so Lincoln, Jordan, Delilah and Leslie go towards their school and they wait for whatever the others have to say about what has been going down.
Then Jordan sees them. "Guys, incoming." they spot the group, the ones they already know about. Clyde, Rusty, Zach, Liam, Chad, Richie, Hassan, Flat Tire and Stella, and they don't seem calm or happy about this day, they seem concerned and this makes Lincoln seem less pleased to see them.
"What the heck do you guys want with me? Don't you have some lies to go and hang out with?"
They all felt a major sting from that, then Lance, Trent, Artie and the friends of Jordan and Leslie show up to hear this, and then Rusty speaks. "Dude, Lincoln. We didn't mean for what went down, we were told to lie so we can keep you safe, I mean you are in..."
Zach then elbows him. "Dude, stop. You are gonna make it worse, man."
Lincoln then looks towards Liam. "Liam, what are you doing with them? You didn't do anything wrong, you spoke truth about having extra chores on the farm and I can understand that." Liam sighs in relief and he joins Lance, Trent, Artie and the friends of Leslie and Jordan, and they are glad he can be trusted still.
Chad then speaks. "Lincoln, this whole thing was something we were convinced about, we thought we were doing the right thing because of what Clyde had just spoke and he seemed to sound kinda paranoid when he spoke to us about what had gone down with you on the wheel chair."
Clyde is shocked to hear this. "Dude, what the heck?"
Zach then speaks. "Chad is right, Lincoln. We didn't even think about his idea and plans and just wanted to hang out with you as normal. I mean you proved it with that awesome wheel chair yo0u had, which made you seem like you can handle an issue on your own with little to know trouble. We're sorry."
Stella then speaks. "Linc, we're sorry about..."
"Don't you talk to my cousin like that!" that was Leslie talking, and all of them are surprised to hear this, even Stella and she and Leslie are dating, but not official and this shocks Stella. "You don't get to speak, and let my cousin speak, Stella Zhau."
Stella covers her mouth and she can see where this has all led to, trusting Clyde with his plan, and leaving Lincoln off of the stuff they do, thus leads to a major issue and then towards an emotional and defensive emotion, from Leslie Lewis Loud.
They didn't see that coming, and same with Lincoln, Jordan and Delilah. Leslie then speaks. "Just because we dated and I have feelings for you, doesn't give you the god damn rights to just mistreat my cousin like that, and all because he was on a wheel chair last week. Learn to think, Zhau!"
Stella has some tears and through that, she sees how far things have turned and the one thing that hurts her the most is that she provoked the girl she likes into anger, and so Stella races away from then down the halls, crying. This scares everyone, Leslie just yelled back as Stella.
Clyde then intervenes. "Stop! Look, this whole thing was my idea. Don't put it onto Stella, I didn't think that my plan would lead to something that would make things worse for all of us, please. We're sorry and we wanna make it up to you. We wanna hang out with you for the remainder of the week, we'll cancel all of the plans we might have and..."
"No." Lincoln seems serious and he looks towards Clyde in total stern anger, and this scares Clyde McBride. "No, I don't wanna even hang out with any of you after what the truth sparked up. You left me out of some awesome after school fun... You lied to me and... Made things turn from dang bad, to wretched worse."
They all couldn't believe it, and then Lincoln continues with his words. "I was on a wheel chair when you all went to do something else and lied to me. Some honesty could've worked, but no... You guys lied to me for my safety and deep down... It felt like you didn't even appreciate to let me be with you guys because of where I was, on the wheel chair and not able to god damn walk!"
He then looks to Hassan. "You know, it surprises me that you were part of this insane plan McBride made, and I thought you would understand me... Wow, how wrong was I to trust someone who understood what it was like to not walk!" Hassan has some tears, he feels like he made a mistake joining this plan and lying towards Lincoln, and he has tickets for them to see the next BattleBots show.
Clyde is about to speak, but then Delilah gets between him and Lincoln, and so Clyde speaks. "Lincoln, if you would allow us to make it up to you, then we can..."
"No, and I mean it, McBride!" said Lincoln in anger, he then calms down. "At this point, I doubt I can hang out with you guys for mistreating someone on a wheel chair, I am on crutches now and inbound for walking, and there is no god damn way you guys can make it up to me. Hassan would've understood, if he did!" He looks to Hassan in anger, and so the boy leaves them be and sheds some tears, and he throws away the tickets to the next BattleBots show, and this makes Clyde and the others panic.
Lincoln then looks to all of them. "Leave me alone." He then walks away, with the others following, thus leaving Clyde to be glared by Rusty, Zach, Chad, Richie and Flat Tire, they then start arguing at Clyde for his damned plan which caused this and now Clyde can see... That deep down, he hasn't changed from the past, and a part of him does want the old planning Lincoln Loud back.
Now, he needs to try and make this right, or else he might hear the words that he doesn't wanna hear from his best friend.
(Time skip, Lunch Time.)
Lincoln goes into the cafeteria and still on his crutches and inbound for the table, where Jordan, Delilah, Leslie, Liam, Artie, Lance, Trent, Hope, Gretchen, Regina, Chastity, Mollie, Sadie, Kat, Joy, Christina, Paige, Renee, Cookie, Jenny and Giggles. He seems comfortable hanging out with them, because he can trust them more than the others whom have lied to him.
He then sits between Delilah and Jordan and then he shows his food and then they all begin to eat, but before they all eat... Liam asks. "Should we be traffic trading our lunches?"
They all remain silent, and so does Lincoln as he continues to eat his fried chicken with gravy and rice and then Delilah speaks. "We should stick with what our parents made, and just roll with it. Got it everyone?"
They all nod, and then they enjoy their own lunch, and the others who are hated by what they did sit by themselves, and watch as Lincoln and the others are talking and enjoying some hang out time, and they even hear that Liam wants to hang out with Lincoln, at the arcade which makes the white-haired loud boy smile and agree. He still has a good friend within him.
But they look to one seat, and table and one kid sits there, Clyde McBride and he is too busy coming up with a plan to fix all of this, but then someone walks up to him and that someone is Stella Zhau, and she looks pissed off.
Stella then slaps Clyde so hard, he falls from the table and he picks up his glasses and sees the enraged Stella, and she still has tears. "I am never ever listening to whatever plans you have to say." She then grabs the notebook and she rips it apart, and Clyde is horrified seen this.
Stella then gazes towards Clyde with an angry glare. "Don't even think about making some stupid plan that's just gonna make things worse for you, McBride." Stella then walks away, with tears running down her face and she walks by Lincoln and the others.
Lincoln sighs and just returns to his lunch, while Leslie has other plans, to have a chat with Stella about what's been happening and to calm her down. Everyone else ignores Clyde, and he tries to once again come up with a new plan to fix this major problem.
To be continued in the next chapter everyone.
A/N: apparently things have turned bad, but will Lincoln be able to forgive his other friends for their actions upon him? Guess we'll need to wait and find out next time. I hope you all enjoyed reading this new chapter everyone.
