A/N: Hello everyone, I am back with chapter twenty-two of this story. Here, the sisters try and let Luna know they're here for her while Luna struggles with what to do.
Disclaimer: I don't own The Loud House
It was a new day in Royal Woods, Michigan. At 1216 Franklin Avenue, the Loud family where gathered for breakfast. Things where still tense given Luna's situation. However, said rocker seemed notable distant.
"So, is anything going on today?" asked Rita.
"Literally nothing." answered Lori.
"I'm going to give Becky a totes fashion makeover." answered Leni.
"Sounds good." said Lynn Sr.
"I've got nothing." said Luan sadly.
"I'm gonna practice my soccer dribbles." answered Lynn Jr.
The jock got surprise looks from the others.
"Ya gotta practice your fundamentals." shrugged Lynn Jr.
"Good for you." said Lynn Sr.
"I've got several funerals." noted Lucy.
"Good for you dear." said Lynn Sr. creeped out a bit.
"Linky and I are going to work on my pageant routine." said Lola.
"You'll be a star!" declared Lincoln.
"Hops and I are going to the pound." said Lana.
"Try not to come home with worms." warned Rita.
"As you are aware mother, you will be transporting my younger sister and I to my symposium so I may give a speech on nuclear engineering." said Lisa.
"Right dear." said Rita.
"Now I'm going to practice with my friends so I am trusting you." said Lynn Sr.
"Yes sir." said ten siblings.
"Luna, I didn't hear you." noted Lynn Sr.
"I'm not going anywhere." said Luna gently.
Lori and Luan shared a glance.
"I'm full." said Luna.
Luna got up and headed to her room. The breakfast ended and the Loud family dispersed. Leni and Lucy where picked up by Becky who had agreed to drop Lucy off. Lana took off headed to the pond. Lincoln and Lola went out back to practice. Lynn Sr. was picked by by Kotaro. Rita left with Lily and Lily. Lori, Luan and Lynn Jr. headed upstairs and reached Luna's door.
"Let me lead okay." requested Lori.
Lynn reluctantly agreed while Luan had no problem.
"Here we go." whispered Lori.
Lori knocked on the door.
"Go away!" demanded Luna.
Lori instead opened the door.
"I thought I told you..." began Luna.
Luna sat up and saw who it was.
"What do you three want?" asked Luna annoyed.
"We're here to talk." answered Lori.
"Fuck off." spat Luna.
"It's nothing about Brandon..." began Lori.
Lori took a moment.
'It kinda is." admitted Lori.
"But we're not gonna bash him." added Lynn.
"Please come down." said Lori.
Luna thought for a moment.
"Fine." relented Luna.
Luna came down the ladder and faced her sisters.
"What do you want?" asked Luna.
"We want to tell you we love you." answered Lori.
Luna raised her eyebrow in surprise.
"What's your game?" asked Luna skeptical.
"No game." answered Lynn.
"I'm not buying it." stated Luna.
"I literally am not surprised." said Lori.
"Then piss off." spat Luna.
"We just wanted to tell you we love you." said Lori.
Luna rolled her eyes.
"We might not agree with everything..." began Lynn.
Luna flared her nostrils.
"But, we'll never stop loving you." added Luan.
"You're one to talk." said Luna.
"Luna, I love you." said Luan.
Luna chuckled.
"You're little ruse won't fool me." said Luna.
"This ain't a ruse." countered Lynn.
"Yeah right." replied Luna .
The rocker squinted her eyes.
"You've been against Brandon since we started dating!" cried Luna.
Luan took a moment.
"I am still not a fan..." began Luan.
"See!" exclaimed Luna.
"But, I will never stop loving you." said Luan.
Luna rolled her eyes.
"Oh great." said Luna sarcastically.
"Luna, we are serious." stated Lori.
"I'm sure you are." said Luna sarcastically.
"Luna, will love you unconditionally." said Lynn.
"Oh yeah." said Luna sarcastically.
For Lori, that was the last straw.
"Listen Luna. We love you and that will never change. You won't change that. And we are serious." stated Lori firmly.
Luna's eyes shot open.
"Wow, you're serious." said Luna amazed.
"Luna, I truly love you." said Luan.
"Damn right we are." said Lynn.
"That's...amazing." replied Luna.
Luna sat down on the bottom bunk.
"Wow. No matter how volatile I've been..." began Luna.
"That won't change a thing." said Luan.
Luna ran her hands through her hair.
"That's so..." said Luna.
Luna started to get emotional and trailed off.
Luna shook her head.
"No! You're trying to trick me!" cried Luna.
Luna jumped back to her feet.
"No we aren't!" cried Luan emotionally.
Luna's demeanor shifted.
"Oh Luan." said Luna sympathetically.
Luna shook her head again.
"Stop messing with me!" yelled Luna distraught.
"Let's go." said Lori.
Lori led Lynn and Luan out of the room.
"We love you." said Lori.
Lori shut the door then went to her room with Luan and Lynn.
"Said you see that?" asked Lori.
"She was cracking." answered Lynn.
"Exactly. There is hope." replied Lori.
Luna stayed in her room for the rest of the morning. The rocker climbed to the top bunk and took a nap. By noon, she awoke and stretched. The first thing to come to her mind was visiting Brandon. However, she found a struggle of conscience. Luna climbed down the ladder and sat on the beanbag chair.
"This sucks." sighed Luna.
Luna thought for a moment.
"I want to visit Brandon..." began Luna.
Luna tapped her finger.
"But, everything has changed since I've met him." noted Luna.
Luna rubbed her face.
"It's their fault!" declared Luna.
Luna felt her guilt rising up.
"Isn't it?" asked Luna.
Luna shook her head.
"Dammit." said Luna.
Luna shook her head again.
"What is wrong with me?" asked Luna.
Luna rubbed her left arm with her right hand.
"I just wish things could be normal." said Luna.
Luna got up and walked to her dresser.
"Why am I doing this?" asked Luna.
Luna opened the drawer up and pulled out a photo.
"Oh man." said Luna softly.
The photo showed a five year old Luan doing her stand up while a six year old Luna laid on her back laughing.
"Things sure have changed." stated Luna.
Luna put the photo in the drawer.
"No!" cried Luna.
Luna slammed the drawer shut.
"Brandon, I'm coming." said Luna.
Luna quietly slipped out the house. Lucky for Luna, her siblings didn't notice. Or they noticed too late like last time. Luna mentally prepared herself for the questions she would face returning home. Luna made her way to Brandon's. Luna knocked and Brandon let her in. The other members of The Michigan Dogmen where in the living room. Brandon and Luna went upstairs.
"Let's go for the strong stuff." said Brandon.
Brandon broke out a bottle of Russian Standard vodka.
"Oh good." replied Luna.
Brandon poured the vodka into two shot glasses.
"Cheers!" cried Brandon.
Brandon pounded the vodka.
"Luna, I can't help but notice you didn't drink." said Brandon.
"I'm too pre-occupied." confessed Luna.
Luna explained the situation to Brandon.
"Luna, it sounds like you're doubting me." said Brandon.
"It's not that!" declared Luna.
"Then what it is it?" asked Brandon angrily.
"I just..." began Luna.
"You don't love me anymore." stated Brandon.
"I do!" cried Luna.
"First, drink your vodka." demanded Brandon.
Luna took a deep breath and slammed down her vodka.
"Oh shit." said Luna choking.
"Second, you're going to fuck me." said Brandon.
"Wait a minute..." started Luna.
Before she could finish, Brandon slapped Luna.
"Listen to me! You where nothing until I dated you!" screamed Brandon.
"I had a good band." stated Luna.
"Then why hadn't you had any gigs before that party?" asked Brandon.
"We did have gigs, just none recently." answered Luna.
Brandon slapped Luna again.
"Never talk back to me!" snapped Brandon.
"Maybe everyone is right about you." said Luna.
Brandon punched Luna knocking her onto the bed.
"You fucking cunt. I took you away from that dyke and made you something. I have tried to be patient while you've been a cock tease." said Brandon.
Brandon ripped off his shirt.
"Not anymore. I'm going to fuck you one way or another." said Brandon.
"Stop!" cried Luna.
Brandon wrapped wrapped his hand around Luna's throat.
"Shut up bitch. You're mine." said Brandon.
Brandon began to unbuckle his pants.
"Wait a second." said Brandon.
Brandon broke out his cocaine.
"To make I last hours." said Brandon.
Brandon snorted the cocaine.
"Now..." began Brandon.
Before he could finish, Brandon's eyes rolled into the back of his head. He fell backwards and off his bed. As he did, his head cracked his dresser.
"Brandon!" cried Luna horrified.
A/N: That's a huge chapter. Luna is breaking free and Brandon shows his true colors. However, his cocaine overdose saved Luna from a scarring event. Next time, we get the final chapter. Please review.
