A/N: Hello everyone, I am back with chapter twenty of this story. Here, the Loud siblings hope a familiar face can get through to Luna.
Disclaimer: I don't own The Loud House
Luan, Lincoln, Lucy, Lisa, Lynn, Leni and Lori gathered in Lori and Leni's shared room. Luan told her siblings that Luna slipped out to spend time with Brandon as well as her conversation with Luna.
"Of course we have to tell mom and dad." stated Lori.
The others all agreed with this.
"Like, what do we do now?" asked Leni.
Lori let out a sigh.
"There isn't really much we can do." answered Lori sadly.
"Are you saying we give up on her?!" asked Lincoln amazed.
"Like I said, Luna literally has to want to get help." answered Lori.
The others shared a sad look.
"I can't just accept that!" declared Lynn.
"I know you aren't the type to quit like this..." began Lori.
"Lynn Loud Jr. is no quitter!" exclaimed Lynn.
"We're literally focusing on Luna." said Lori.
"Exactly! I'll be damned if I give up on her!" declared Lynn.
"As our eldest sibling as noted, we cannot assit Luna is she does not desire it." replied Lisa.
"Then what do we do?" asked Lucy.
"We should not enable her." answered Lisa.
"Huh?" asked Lincoln confused.
"Not supporting her relationship with...him." answered Lori.
The others had nothing against this.
"I just don't know." said Luan sadly.
The comedian was hanging her head sadly.
Lori put her hand on Luan's shoulder when her phone rang.
"It's Sam." noted Lori.
Lori answered the phone.
"Sam." said Lori.
("How are things?") asked Sam.
"Not good." answered Lori.
Lori filled Sam up to date.
"Unfortunately, that's where we're at." noted Lori.
("I shouldn't be surprised.") sighed Sam.
"That son of a ..." began Lori.
Lori stopped for a moment remembering younger children where in the room.
"Son of a gun has brainwashed her." bemoaned Luna.
("This sucks.") said Sam.
"Yup." agreed Lori.
("There has to be something we can do.") replied Sam.
"Like I told the others, we can't help Luna if she doesn't want it." said Lori.
("What a drag.") said Sam sadly.
Sam thought for a moment.
("Can I try talking to her?") asked Sam.
"I doubt that will help." answered Lori.
("I know someone who might be able to help.") offered Sam.
Sam explained her plan.
"If you think it'll work then make the call." said Lori.
The call then ended.
"Okay, so here's the plan..." began Lori.
Lori explained the plan to the others.
"Well, that could work." said Lisa.
"What do we do?" asked Luan.
"We tell mom and dad Luna snuck out to see Brandon." answered Lori.
Lori indeed went downstairs where she found her parents. Lori told them Luna left the house to see Brandon. Lynn Sr. called Luna down who snarled angrily at Lori. Luna plopped onto the couch and crossed her arms. Lori stepped into the dinning room so her parents could speak with Luna.
"Luna, did you sneak you to be with Brandon?" asked Rita.
"Maybe." answered Luna defiantly.
"Watch your tone." warned Lynn Sr. sternly.
Luna rolled her eyes.
"Luna Loud. You will respect your parents." stated Rita.
"Whatever." sighed Luna.
"Did you defy us and sneak out to see Brandon?" asked Lynn Sr. firmly.
Luna thought for a moment then smirked.
"Yeah I did." answered Luna defiantly.
"Luna Loud! We're expressly forbid you from seeing Brandon!" noted Rita.
"And I expressly don't care." replied Luna.
"Okay, this rotten attitude needs to end now!" declared Lynn Sr.
"Nope." said Luna smiling.
"Luna!" snapped Rita.
"I love Brandon and he loves me." stated Luna.
"He's not a good influence." countered Lynn Sr.
"Bullshit!" spat Luna.
"Watch your tongue young lady." warned Rita.
"Brandon and I will be together!" declared Luna.
"We forbid it." replied Lynn Sr.
"Like I give a shit about that." chuckled Luna.
"Look at you. You where never this defiant." noted Rita worried.
"I like the new me." shrugged Luna.
Luna jumped to her feet.
"Brandon and I will be together and there's nothing you can do to stop us!" declared Luna.
The doorbell rang.
"I'll get it." said Lori.
Lori answered the door and Chunk was there.
"Hello. Sam filled me in." said Chunk.
"Oh great." sighed Luna.
"We're hoping Chunk can talk some sense into Luna." noted Lori.
"I have no problem with it." said Lynn Sr.
"We'll be in the other room." agreed Rita.
Lori and her parents went into the dinning room.
"Nice to see you." said Chunk.
Chunk sat down in the chair.
"Whatever." said Luna.
"I've missed helping you move." said Chunk.
"Oh boy." said Luna, rolling her eyes.
"Luna..." began Chunk.
"Don't you have a life?" asked Luna flatly.
"It's helping you." answered Chunk.
Luna chuckled.
"I don't need help." replied Luna.
Chunk sadly shook his head.
"Yes you do." stated Chunk.
"Okay, do you best." said Luna.
"I know we're you're coming from." said Chunk.
Luna flared her nostrils.
"Oh, and how is that?" asked Luna.
"I've been there." answered Chunk.
Luna was surprised by this revelation.
"When I was younger, I was part of a band and we got sucked into the dark side." said Chunk.
"Really?" asked Luna surprised.
"We drank beer all the time and did drugs." answered Chunk.
Chunk lifted his chin and held his nose ring out.
"I did some much cocaine it bore holes in my nostrils.
Chunk released his nose ring and lowered his head.
"Must have been helpful." mused Luna.
"That's not important." said Chunk.
Luna scratched her cheek.
"Have I told you about Reggie?" asked Chunk.
"No." answered Luna.
"He was our drummer and had a cocaine overdose." explained Chunk.
"That sucks." replied Luna sympathetic.
"I was there when it happened." said Chunk.
Chunk balled his fists.
"I saw it happen. He passed out nearly died. I could feel his heart racing like it was going to explode out of his chest. It was terrifying. I'll never forgot how scary it was." explained Chunk traumatized.
"That's really stuck with you." noted Luna softly.
"It was and I'd hate to see you go through the same." said Chunk.
Luna thought about Brandon or her overdosing.
"Things where also bad with my family." continued Chunk.
"Your family." repeated Luna mortified.
"I was cut off from my family." said Chunk.
"Really." said Luna softly.
Chunk nodded his head confirming.
"For years, my family didn't want anything to do with me." said Chunk.
"Family wanted nothing..." stammered Luna.
"I was miserable." said Chunk.
"Maybe you where..." stammered Luna.
"There's no 'if' about it." stated Chunk.
Luna rubbed her left arm with her right hand.
"It's horrible." said Chunk.
Luna bit her lower lip.
"Like I said, this is something I want to spare you from." said Chunk.
"You don't have to." replied Luna sadly.
"Your voice says otherwise." noted Chunk.
Luna shook her head.
"It seems like your loyal to Brandon." noted Chunk.
"Damn right I am!" declared Luna.
"Luna, where you drinking or doing drugs before you dated Brandon?" asked Chunk.
"No." answered Luna.
"So you've started doing drugs and drinking after you dated him." mused Chunk.
Luna took a moment before shaking her head.
"I've never done drugs or drunken alcohol!" declared Luna.
"But, you said that someone spiked your beer." noted Chunk.
"I mean...I...the thing is..." stammered Luna.
Luna stamped her foot.
"Stop messing with my head!" cried Luna.
"You also haven't admitted to never drinking or doing drugs at all." said Chunk.
Luna blushed.
"Look Luna, I want to help you. I can't help you if you don't want it. I just want you to consider what I told you." explained Chunk.
Chunk got up and headed for the door.
"Thanks mate." said Lynn Sr. gratefully.
The Brit nodded his head.
"No problem." replied Chunk.
Rita and Lori also thanked Chunk who left. Luna got up and quickly made her way up the stairs before Lori or her parents could stop her. Luna walked down the hall to her room. None of her others siblings popped their heads out as she walked by. However, Luna knew they were interested. Luna went to her room and climbed the top bunk. Luna laid on her back and looked at the ceiling.
"That's bullshit." spat Luna.
Luna frowned.
"They frigging seat me up!" cried Luna.
The words Chunk said crept back into her mind.
"What...if he's right?" asked Luna.
Luna thought for about it.
"I have been more aggressive with my family lately." noted Luna.
Luna bit her thumbnail.
"I'd hate for an overdose or alcohol poisoning." continued Luna.
Luna then shook her head.
"No. It's bullshit." stated Luna.
However, Luna found herself unable to shake the doubt.
"I just don't know." sighed Luna.
A/N: That is where we'll end this chapter. It seems Chunk might have gotten through to Luna and there might still be a chance before things are too late. However, Brandon won't give up without a fight. Next time, the siblings and Sam talk about their next move while Luna visits Brandon. Please review.
