(Snickering) So, I see some of you weren't expecting what happened last chapter. Paige was revealed to have set Lincoln up to marry him after he had previously dumped her, if that's not a plot twist then I don't know what is. Now I know Lincoln had explained why he broke up with her, but that wasn't the whole story. And in this chapter, I'm gonna give you guys an in-depth look into the depart of Lincoln and Paige's relationship.
You've been warned, because the end of this chapter, well, good luck.
"Uggggghhh, my head!" a womanly voice groaned, and all she can see is complete darkness. "What happened?" she asked as she then saw a blinding light, "GAH SO BRIGHT!"
"Ai, you're awake. Good!"
"What?" the voice said as her vision cleared up, and was met with a sickening site. A smirking and crazy eyed Paige, wearing her dress she had for the wedding. She was holding a butcher knife in her hand, and a tiny doll that looked suspiciously like Ronnie Anne. "You!"
"Yes, it is me! The should-be Paige Dakota Loud!" She presented in a grand fashion, "You would know, Lori." she giggled madly at the eldest Loud sister, who looked around to see they were in a boiler room. And the rest of the of her sisters were either tied up or handcuffed to a pipe, Lori on the other hand was strapped to a chair with a light shining over her.
"Paige, what happened? Why are you doing this?" Lori asked fearing for what this girl who used to be a family friend will do to her and her sisters.
Paige just skipped around the room, humming an eerie tune, "Well, for what happened? The sisters that went to the Big Apple discovered they were on a wild goose chase, after I heard of their failure I brought them here. As for you and the rest of your sisters, you found out my little secret!" She stopped and circle her captive. "That Lincoln had previously dumped me, and in retaliation I got him to be betrothed to me! Granted I used his Faceshelf account, but I had him!"
"You're insane! Why didn't Lincoln tell us?" Lori screamed.
"Let me Loud-splain something, when you have a strong and independent brand online, people trust it. My gaming career has gotten me massive following on social media, I could make up anything and my 2 trillion plus followers, including you guys, will buy it. And you ten slims bought it hook, line, and sinker. Once I had you girls on board, Lincoln could never bring himself to disappoint his sisters." Lori looked down at this, she had to admit that Lincoln has time and time again gave up happiness so his sisters can feel special. "
"And I may have made a little threat that if he didn't go through with the wedding and can't ever get a divorce on me, then..."
"What, you'd kill him? US!" she demanded, all the while her sisters were all groaning and seemed to be waking up.
"That's what he said! But no, neither of them. I don't want to have a dead husband, or a depressed one." Paige laughed at that. "But rather one that married you against his will?" she questioned.
"Meh, but who I was gonna make sleep with the fishes was something he with more meaning to him than anything on Earth." Paige told her as her face got even more insane with each syllable that comes out of her mouth.
"Bun-bun?"
"Nope."
They all leaned in to hear what was on the line if Lincoln didn't give into this woman's demands, "... Ronnie Anne Santiago."
GASP
"You monster!"
Paige looked around, "Oh, it seems everyone's awake. Just in time for story time."
"A story!" Leni piped up, even in hostage mode she gets easily forgetful. "Is it the three little pigs!" The girls, even Paige groaned at that suggestion from Leni.
"Is she always like this?" Paige asked.
"Believe me, she thinks eggplants came from planting eggs." Lori told her.
"Ai. But no sweet, innocent, little Leni. This is a very special story, called 'The Fall of LinPaige'."
"Booooooooooooooooooooo, worst ship name ever!"
"Oh shut up, it all began in the middle of sixth gradel..." Paige began the story of how all this began.
Nov 7, 2019
-Middle School-
Paige was sitting in a booth at gus' game n' grub waiting for her boyfriend to show but she was getting impatient, but she was willing to wait for Lincoln a little longer.
"Come on Loud, where are you?" She asked as she checked her phone, just then she heard the door chime, she looked up and saw Lincoln out of breath and looking quite messy.
"Sorry I'm late, my sister's kept trying to dress me up." Lincoln said with a laugh, but Paige was indifferent about it.
"So what did you want to talk about?" he asked.
"Well I was thinking about were we should go for our date, because there's this movie I wanted to…" just then she was interrupted by Lincoln's phone as he pulled it out, Paige grabbed it and looked at the ID and saw that it was Ronnie Anne. "Linc, why are you still talking to her, she's gone and moved away and your still talking to her!" She complained.
"So, Ronnie Anne is just a friend, plus she dating Sameer." He said
"Alright, sorry about that, but you know how I get." She said.
"yeah only when it's Ronnie Anne related." Lincoln said.
"What was that?" She asked.
"Nothing dear." Lincoln said. The then started talking about dating plans.
-Later-
Lincoln was laying in his bed reading comics when he heard his door open he looks from his comic and saw Paige wearing a floral dress.
"Lincoln, what are you doing? We have a dinner date tonight!" She said
"Wait, I thought that was tomorrow?" He said
"Well I change it to tonight, now get dressed!" She said as she slammed the door.
"Geez it's never enough with her." Lincoln said as he got dressed as he and Paige we're on their way to Jean Juan's French Mex Buffet. As they took their seats, a waiter came up.
"Oh, it's you I haven't seen you since you made that speech about your date." The waiter said, Lincoln
"Oh so you gave a declaration of love to some other girl?" Paige asked.
"It was before we started dating." Lincoln said. "Besides she slapped me afterward." He said.
"Was this girl Ronnie Anne?!" She asked. Lincoln wanted to say no, but he knew that it wouldn't help. So he just nods his head.
"Ugh i'm sick and tired of this, Lincoln if you so much as utter anything about Ronnie Anne then we are through!" She said causing a scene.
"Alright, just calm down." He said Paige than sat down and finally starts their dinner date.
-High School-
Lincoln, wearing a orange Hoodie and a blue shirt with matching jeans, was sitting out with his headphones on rocking out to the latest SMOOCH album. When he felt someone tap his shoulders, he looks back and sees his (on/off) Girlfriend, Paige, wearing with a sour expression.
"Okay what the hell Is taking you so long to try and fix things with me, I was waiting for you to talk to me all day!" She said
"Because your the one that said you needed space, so i gave you your space." He said. Paige then grab his headphones and tossed them to the ground.
"I'm getting of being treated like this Loud, your lucky I love you way to much or…"
"Or what! You've been saying that since middle school, we both know that we'll have a fight, take a break then will go to either your or my house for a heated make out session." Lincoln said. The stared at each other for a bit.
"Ugh, you're so lucky that your cute." She said as she grabbed his hand and the two went to his house
-Few minutes later-
Lincoln and Paige were in Lincoln's bed smooching up a storm, Lincoln's hand started to wonder down her waist and rested on her ass, Paige felt the smack and stops the kiss.
"Uh what are you doing?" She asked.
"I thought we move to the next step?" Lincoln said as she rubbed her ass.
"No you promise you'd we wait." She said.
"But, we been waiting for years, come on Paige I have needs." Lincoln said in a sad tone.
"Sorry Linky, but you have to wait until we're married." She said.
"Can you not say that." Lincoln asked.
"Why not, can't you just imagine it, you and me being together forever, we have our own family and I'll be married to my game designer husband.
"Uh actually I was kinda hoping to be a comic creator." He said.
"You can do that, as a hobby but game designers make more money, to support us, sweetie." Paige said. Lincoln the got her off him and looked at her.
"Paige, I'm not going to be doing what you want! I have my own goals in life." He said.
"Lincoln, I think it's cute that you want to do pointless drawing that no one reads anymore, but games are forever." Paige said Lincoln was now getting mad.
"Okay, comics can make up to several million dollars a year!"
"AND GAMERS MAKE THOUSAND TIMES MORE, WE ARE GONNA BE GAMING GODS TOGETHER!"
"WELL MAYBE I DON'T US TO BE TOGETHER ANYMORE!"
That last one left Paige in a heartbroken state, "What?"
Lincoln sighed and massaged his temples, "Look Paige, I know this is gonna sound crazy. But with everything that has happened since we first began dating, it's been all setbacks, roadblocks, and all good things between have just turned into bad things."
"What do you mean?" she asked not understanding what is going on.
"Look, every week it's always the same thing. We brake up, we make out, we get back together. Then it all repeats, just like my family dinners used to be. Paige this relationship has done nothing but fight and cause all kinds of problems. We don't have the same ambitions, we don't have any agreements, and we are always at each others throats. I'm sorry Paige, but I don't think this relationship should continue any longer." Lincoln told her.
Paige was about to cry right there, "But Lincoln, I love you." she said sadly.
Lincoln looked away, "You can't keep using that excuse, Paige YOU KNOW that this whole relationship has more drama and disasters than Jersey Shore." He looked back to her, "We can't keep doing this to each other, we'll just end up making each other miserable in the long run. Do you understand?"
She sniffled and sighed, "Yeah, I do." she got off the bed and headed for his bedroom door, "So is this... it?"
Lincoln stated with a serious expression, "I think it's been long over, this was one train wreck that went longer than needed."
"Okay." Paige squeaked then left.
Lincoln just sat there thinking, 'It's for the best.' He then got a face time alert on his laptop, he opened it up to see the contact name and chuckled. "And so comes the one that caused some of our fights." he accepted the call.
"Hey Lame-O." Ronnie Anne said.
"Hey Ronnie Anne, how are things with Sameer?" he wondered contently
"Oh fine, he's been happy since the break up." Ronnie Anne said. Lincoln then raised an eyebrow.
"You guys broke up? When?"
"Yeah, it wasn't really working out. Just some minor stuff, no big deal. And I think around the start of 8th grade." Ronnie Anne said.
"Wow I must have missed a lot."
"Totally, that girlfriend of yours Paige never lets us talk anymore. Can't a guy and gal just talk without any romantic assumptions?" she complained.
"Have you met our fandom?" Lincoln questioned.
"Fair point. So how is Little Miss. Games and Grime?"
Lincoln looked down with a serious expression, "Funny thing, just before you called. I kind of ended things with Paige, for good this time."
"Oh." Ronnie Anne looked a little uncomfortable now. "Are you okay though?"
"It's for the best anyway, we have nothing in common. We fight more than my family over the TV remote, it just wasn't working out." he explained.
Ronnie Anne just sighed, "I guess we both had poor luck in dating haven't we?"
"I guess." they both looked down from their screens, thinking of what to say next. Then Lincoln spoke, "Ronnie?" she looked up, "Is there something wrong with me?"
Ronnie Anne looked downtrodden from that, then started to chuckle "I was just about to ask the same thing. After Sameer I had over twenty failed romances, and none of them lasted over a week!"
"And I only had one girl, who I kept breaking off with every two months!" They both laughed at the other's failed love lives.
"We're ridiculous!"
"Oh yeah, I miss when we used to just laugh at things like this." Lincoln said wholeheartedly.
"Me too, and about our dumb older siblings." Ronnie Anne pointed out.
"Oh no, I don't want to relieve Lori and Bobby's reception. Those two are more lovey dovey than sitcom parents!"
"I know!" they shared another laugh.
"Hey uh Link?"
"Yeah"
Ronnie Anne twirled a strand of her hair, "I was just wondering, next time I'm in town. We could, grab a soda?"
Lincoln just looked surprised at this, Ronnie Anne just looked away feeling embarrassed. He just got out of a very unhealthy relationship, now his long-distance friend was asking out for a soda. But he was kind of glad, he never really got to hang out with the Latina on his screen anymore. He said with a smile, "I would actually like that."
Ronnie Anne blushed profusely, "Cool, or whatever." she said trying to play it cool, but on the inside she was jumping for joy. "Smell you later, Lame-O."
"Not unless I smell you first."
What Lincoln didn't know, but watching from the little keyhole in his door. Was a very heartbroken, and extremely pissed Paige. She was seething mad, first comes a soda, then coffee, next thing you know it's smooch town population: THEM! "I knew it!" she whispered angrily before stomping on out of the house, before slamming the door on her way out. "That Ronnie Anne is trying to steal my MAN! Oh I will not stand for this.
I swear on my high score of Terminator 6: Apocalypse Reborn, LINCOLN LOUD WILL BE MINE!" she screamed.
End of Backstory
"... and after that, I made sure of it. I used his Faceshelf account to propose to myself and BOOM! We were set to be married."
The girls reactions to the development of their brother's almost wedding could be best described in shock, anger, and disgust. "Oh boo hoo you skankbag, so your relationship was over. Lincoln even gave you some valid reasons as to why you two weren't working out as much anymore, get over it!" Lori stated.
Paige just glared at her, "Now you sound just like my mother, and my sister, and my phycologist! There's a difference between what Lincoln & I had to other ships in television."
"That one of you makes Yandere Chan look like sane?" Lucy commented.
"Nooooooooo." Paige sneered while turning her head to the glooming Loud sister, "That I, never give up on who I love. I had him bonded to rights, until SHE!" at that point she menacingly threw her butcher knife at a picture of Ronnie Anne on the far wall, which struck perfectly. "Had to get herself involved in his affairs. I could always tell those two were close, a little too close if you ask me. But luckily for me, Ronnicoln was always in the territory of 'it's complicated' and was never made officially canon." she looked up to the sky, "Writers, you are my bae."
"Whatever, so what are you gonna do with us now?" Lori questioned.
"Make us wear last week's style!" Leni yelled.
"Lame." Paige dismissed.
"Mount our heads on a wall." Lucy said fearfully.
"Barbaric!"
"Eat us!" Lana cried.
"Okay that's just disgusting." Paige cringed. She then brought back her smirk, "I'm gonna make a little example out of all of you." she pulled out a remote, which she pushed the little button on.
Suddenly the room sprouted a red gas, the sisters coughed from inhaling the fumes. The room was clouded in red smoke, and the girls felt their chains being moved around. Plus it was starring to get drafty.
When the gas cleared up, the girls were now arranged in a circle. With their hands chained above their heads, "What was that?" Luna asked.
"Look down."
They did as they were told, and all 20 eyeballs were shot opened as they saw what that gas did.
"WHY THE FUCK ARE WE NAKED!?"
Paige just snickered, as she stepped in the center. Equally bare as her captives, the sisters were now panicking as to what this freak of a woman had planned. "Now I'm gonna choose the first girl in a reasonable manner." she then pointed to every girl in a random order.
"Eeny meeny miny moe, pick your shot and toss some joe. Take it all in one big bit, next one is gonna get fridged and..."
"YOU!" she pointed at Lynn.
"ARE!" then at Luna.
"IT!" and she finished at Lily, who went pale with fear. The other sisters gasped.
"Me?" Little Lily squeaked. Paige just strutted up to her first victim, then kneeled down to her eye level. She then roughly grabbed her shoulders, and leaned her head in, Lily thought she was looking right into her soul with that big devilish grin.
"Don't worry little Lily-pad, I'll be gentle."
... I created a monster.
Well until then, bye. (Running away)
