A/N: Hello everyone, I am back with chapter twenty-one of this story. Here, the siblings and Sam talk about their next move while Luna sees Brandon.
Disclaimer: I don't own The Loud House
Lori and Leni where having another meeting in their room. Luan, Lynn, Lincoln, Lucy and Lisa where all there. The purpose was to talk about Chunk's talk and plan what to do next. However, Lori had her phone on speaker so Sam could join.
"Are you there?" asked Lori.
("Yes.") answered Sam.
"Good. Then we can begin." began Lori.
"I heard yelling." noted Lincoln concerend.
("Yelling.") repeated Sam worried.
"She was angry and didn't want to hear it...as usual." said Lori.
("Did Chunk help?") asked Sam.
"Her roadie." said Lynn confused.
"He came by and he did make an impact." said Lori.
("Was it good or bad?") asked Sam nervously.
"Not sure." answered Lori.
"Please explain yourself." requested Lisa.
"He explained his own experiences with drugs and alcohol. Including a friend who overdosed." explained Lori.
("I never knew that.") admitted Sam.
"That must have horrifying." mused Lucy.
"Like, did he survive?" asked Leni.
"He survived." answered Lori.
The others where relieved by this.
"He also got her to sort of confess to her drug and alcohol use." added Lori
"Really?" asked Luan surprised.
"She never confirmed her, but Chunk noted she didn't deny it either. Luna got flustered." answered Lori.
"It would be safe to deduce he managed to tangle Luna in her web of decent." said Lisa.
"It's something." shrugged Lincoln.
"Luna also cracked." stated Lori.
"Oh no! I'll get glue!" exclaimed Leni.
"Not like that." said Lynn.
"I was eavesdropping on their conversation from the dinning room. The things Chunk said definitely struck a cord with her." said Lori.
"I thought it was rude to eavesdrop." said Lincoln.
"Well, it was for a good cause." replied Lori.
"I can eavesdrop if you want." requested Lucy.
"That won't be necessary." said Lori.
("Lori, what did Luna say?") asked Sam,
"I couldn't hear exactly, but her facial expressions told everything." answered Lori.
"It seems like Brandon's manipulation hasn't fully take control. This means there very well could a chance that we can save her." said Lisa.
"Are you serious?" asked Luan anxiously.
"Indeed." answered Lisa.
"We have to do everything it takes!" declared Luan.
"Guys, it's important we don't try and push her into rehab." warned Lori.
"Why?" asked Lucy.
"That might push her back to Brandon." answered Lisa.
Luan gasped horrified.
"We have to let her know that we love her and nothing will change that." stated Lisa.
The others agreed with this.
"There's still a chance and we cannot give up on Luna." stated Lori.
The meeting then ended and the siblings departed.
("Thanks for letting me in.") said Sam.
"Literally no problem." replied Lori.
The call ended as Lori and Sam hung up.
"We have to save her." said Luan determined.
The next day, things where seemingly next to normal. The Loud house was living up to its name as the kids where being as raucous as usual. Luna Loud was in her room, but didn't plan to staying long. She was departing to visit Brandon and just had to sneak out again. However, Luna felt uneasy as she sat on the bottom bunk.
"I just gotta sneak outta here once I get the chance." said Luna.
Luna felt unsure.
"Mom and dad forbid me from visiting him." noted Luna.
Luna shook her head.
"No. That's bullshit." decided Luna.
Luna scratched her nose.
"I can make my own decisions." said Luna.
Luna shook her head.
"No! I'm fine!" declared Luna.
Luna jumped up.
"I think so." said Luna.
Luna sat back down.
"Dammit! This sucks!" declared Luna.
Luna scratched her head.
"If I go, he'll try to get me to drink and do drugs." said Luna.
Luna rubbed her arms.
"I'd hate to have someone overdose." said Luna.
Luna shook her head.
"It's fine." said Luna.
Luna adjusted her skirt.
"He might try and to something...sexual." said Luna.
Luna again shook her head.
"He's always been respectful of my boundaries." stated Luna.
Luna got back up.
"I am going." said Luna.
Luna got up and slipped out. Several of her siblings where out making things easier. Lori, Carol Pingrey, Leni, Becky, Lincoln and Clyde where at the mall. Lori, Carol, Leni and Becky where on a shopping spree. Lincoln and Clyde where at the arcade. Luan was performing at a birthday trying to improve her mood. Luna got out and made her way to Brandon's. Luna arrived and knocked on the door. Brandon answered the door and they went to his room.
"I feel like shit." sighed Luna.
"What's wrong?" asked Brandon.
"My family pulled another bullshit trap on me." answered Luna.
"Tell me everything." requested Brandon.
"My former roadie came over and gave me some talk." said Luna.
Luna rubbed her arm.
"It was though shit." added Luna.
Brandon raised his eyebrow.
"He told me how he used to do drink and do drugs." said Luna.
"I couldn't help but notice you used past tense." stated Brandon.
"He had a friend overdose." revealed Luna.
"That sucks." shrugged Brandon.
"It sounded so horrifying." said Luna.
"That's just the the same bullshit scare tactics used by those old PSAs." said Brandon.
"Yeah. I guess." replied Luna.
"You can't let other scare you." said Brandon.
"I guess." replied Luna unsure.
Brandon bit his lower lip.
"Is it possible my control is slipping?" asked Brandon to himself.
"He also mentioned how his actions isolated him from his family." continued Luna.
Brandon shrugged his shoulders.
"Unfortunately, families want to keep people apart." shrugged Brandon.
"Yeah." said Luna weakly.
"Damn. My control is slipping away." thought Brandon worried.
Brandon got up.
"Here, some whiskey will help you." said Brandon.
Brandon poured whiskey into a glass.
"Here ya go." said Brandon.
Brandon handed the glass to Luna.
"I..." began Luna.
Luna couldn't help but think of the things Chunk told her.
"Come on." said Brandon.
Luna gulped nervously.
"I don't know." confessed Luna.
Brandon held back a snarl.
"I thought you loved me." said Brandon.
"I do!" declared Luna.
"Well, if you did then you would accept my generous gift." stated Brandon.
Luna suddenly felt guilty.
"Okay." said Luna.
Luna took the whiskey and looked in it.
"Drink it." demanded Brandon.
Luna closed her eyes and drank.
"That's good." said Luna.
"I gotta keep her under my thumb." thought Brandon.
Brandon broke out the cocaine.
"Oh...cocaine. Nice." said Luna anxiously.
Brandon set up the cocaine.
"Go ahead." said Brandon.
"You first." replied Luna.
Brandon snorted cocaine.
"Woo!" cried Brandon.
Brandon shook his head.
"Your turn." said Brandon.
Luna took a sigh and snorted the cocaine.
"Woo!" exclaimed Luna.
"Feel better?" asked Brandon.
Luna took a moment.
"I guess." answered Luna.
Luna began to nosebleed.
"Let me get that." said Brandon.
Brandon used a tissue to clear the blood from her nostril.
"Thanks." said Luna happily.
Brandon leaned in for a kiss.
"Brandon..." began Luna.
"I thought you loved me." said Brandon.
Luna gulped and kissed him.
"Here we go." thought Brandon.
Brandon moved his hand up Luna's shirt and grabbed her breast.
"Whoa!" cried Luna.
Luna pushed Brandon back.
"What was that?" asked Brandon annoyed.
"I didn't mean to." answered Luna.
"What happened to loving me?!" asked Brandon.
"I do love you!" cried Luna.
"Then you wouldn't push me aside or turn your back or our activities." answered Brandon.
Luna began to tear up.
"I'm sorry." said Luna sadly.
Luna sadly departed. She made her way back to 1216 Franklin Avenue with her mind clouded. Upon arriving, she immediately went to her room and shut the door. Luna figured her sisters knew she was gone, but didn't care. Luna climbed the ladder to her bunk and laid down looking at the ceiling.
"This blows." sighed Luna.
Luna's mind was swirling.
"I love Brandon and want to do everything for him..." began :Luna
Luna remembered Chunk's words.
"But, those things Chunk said won't leave me alone." concluded Luna.
Luna blew a raspberry.
"He's probably just making that shit up to mess with me." huffed Luna.
Luna rubbed her leg.
"But, what if he isn't?" asked Luna.
Luna shook her head.
"My mind is flipping." moaned Luna.
Luna rubbed her face.
"I don't know what to do. I just don't." bemoaned Luna.
A/N: That is where we'll end this chapter. It seems like Chunk's words are having an effect. Next time, the sisters carry out their plans as Luna still struggles. Plus, a huge event. Please review.
