Benny was kissing Luan, but Luan felt something hard.
"What's this?" She asked.
With Luke, he was somehow ignoring the rest of his siblings.
"Luke?" Leni asked.
Luke was tuning everyone out.
On Halloween, Lucy was decorating.
Luke wasn't in a mood for Halloween stuff right now. He tossed his costume back into the closet and just sulked.
"Mom, what's going on with Luke?" Lucy asked.
"He knows. He knows what you kids have planned on his birthday." Charity says. "Date changes or not, he is still hurt by that fact."
"I don't want to celebrate Lynn anymore." Lucy sniffed. "I don't even want to celebrate Halloween anymore."
Lucy dumped her costume in Charity's hands and headed inside. Charity went after her and comforted her.
Lucy was sadder than ever. Ever since Lynn came home, the siblings had been planning events around her. They cast Luke aside for Lynn, and that alone made Lucy upset.
Lucy knew the siblings would be separated. She was having a panic attack.
But she could hear Charity lecturing and screaming at the siblings. Charity was just as upset with them.
"I am sorely disappointed that you chose to lavish attention on Lynn after I told you what would happen if you did!" Charity says. "You're playing favorites and making Luke believe that he isn't wanted here anymore."
"I'm busy with Luke's gift." Lisa says.
"But the others said Lynn is our blood sibling, which is weird." Leni says.
Luke was upstairs, packing a few things as he would be staying with Garrett for a few days. He couldn't stand to be here right now,
When Luke left, the siblings except for Lincoln, Lisa, and Lucy had a party. Well, Leni was naive and went along.
"Hey, what's the party for? Halloween is only celebrated at night…" Clyde asked.
"Luke's gone, so we're celebrating Halloween early." Lola says.
"And Lynn's party." Lana says
"What party?" Lynn asked, just coming in.
"We planned a party on Luke's day." Leni says.
"What?!" Lynn asks and feels like she hurt Luke.
"Oh, he also wants you dead." Luna says.
"You ruined my chance! Now he'll never forgive me!" Lynn says as she cries, showing her vulnerable side. Lincoln's friends are leaving this party because of the siblings' disgusting and cruel behavior. Even Lincoln leaves.
Benny moaned as he was getting erect. Luan kissed him more and more. Benny didn't want to lose his virginity, but Luan's kisses were good.
Benny tried to leave. "I'm too young!" he says.
Luan kissed him again.
Charity finished her shower and shrieked, seeing Lucy on her bed.
"Lucy, honey, what's wrong?" Charity asked, putting on her clothes. Lucy looked away. Then looked at Charity awkwardly.
"Sorry…" Lucy says, trying to get the image of Charity out of her head.
"You can tell me what's going on, honey." Charity says. "What did they do?"
"Sorry I came into your room and saw you without clothes on." Lucy says. "But you should know they had a party."
"THEY WHAT?!" Charity screamed. "Wait, what party?"
"A party…a pa-" Lucy stammered as she couldn't bring herself to say it, but she saw Charity give her an understanding look.
"A farewell party…" Lucy sobbed and broke due to being separated from Luke and Lincoln.
Charity. Was. Livid. She couldn't believe the siblings had the audacity to throw a farewell party for her son when he was only going to Garrett's house for a few days. She grabs the spanking paddle and storms downstairs, instructing Lucy to stay where she was.
"Lynn!" Lincoln says, running after her but Lynn punched him out of blind rage, but regretted it.
"Lincoln…" Lynn says, calling him his Actual name. "I didn't mean to…" Lynn says, sniffing.
"No, I deserve it." Lincoln says.
"I'm not going back, ever." Lynn says.
"They're the ones who wanted to throw you that party. Not me or Lucy or even Lisa." Lincoln says. "They even wanted Luke gone."
"Why throw me a party? I don't deserve it " Lynn says, sobbing at the fact that she was basically framed. "Lincoln, please…you have to clear my name…"
"To who?" Lincoln asked.
"Luke. He thinks this is my doing." Lynn says.
The others except Leni, Lucy, Lisa, and Luna explained that they had enough of Luke.
"He is my son! If you hate him that much, then you have 10 minutes to go to your rooms and start packing for boarding school." Charity says coldly. "At boarding school, you don't get to do anything fun. No birthdays, no Christmas…and you have to sleep with several other kids in one room. You won't get your own bed. Or privacy. You'll do lessons and chores every single day, and you won't eat a home-cooked meal there. Oh, no. You'll be eating whatever the school makes for you. And you'll have to go to bed at 7:30 p.m., even if it's still light out. And don't think you'll get to play with toys there, because the toys are locked away. And there is nothing to do there except read, write, do chores, or do puzzles. And you'll have to wear uniforms. None of your good clothes." Charity says.
"He's not that bad…" Lana says.
"I think we'll stay here." Lola says.
Later, there was a knock on the door as Charity answered it.
It was a teacher from the middle school.
"Ah, Julia, come in. Come in!" Charity says.
"Who is this?" Luna asked.
"Luke's teacher, Julia Salter. She teaches Luke's self-contained special education class at the middle school." Charity says.
Lisa just heads to her lab.
"What is this I hear about a farewell party you threw for sweet Luke?" Ms. Salter says, folding her arms and waiting for an explanation.
They explained the time Lucy came with Luke and changed their lives. Because, when Luke came into the picture, the siblings weren't center stage.
"I think you kids should understand something about Luke. He doesn't think or act like you. He doesn't understand changes or even process things the way you do. He has autism. He has different ways of processing feelings. And he needs a lot of care, love, and understanding. But you kids treated him like an ordinary sibling. Which makes me sick…it makes me sick that you would just treat him so cruelly! Just because you're not the center of attention doesn't mean you can just be mean and cruel to Luke. What you kids did tonight was just sickening." Ms. Salter says, a frown adorning her usually happy face.
"What do you kids have to say for yourselves?" Charity asked, also frowning.
They look guilty. "Wait, I thought we were supposed to take Luke's things to the garbage?" Leni asked
"You dumb snitch!" Lola says. Charity then began emptying the guilty kids' rooms and calling the junk removal service.
Julia was frowning at them the entire time that Charity was doing all that. The guilty siblings' eyes widened in shock once they saw a junk removal truck in the driveway.
"You can't do this!" Lola says.
"You want to trash Luke's things, I'll trash all of your things." Charity says. "Anything else you kids planned on doing to hurt Luke? Because I'd like to know it all."
"Me, too." Julia says.
They explained their plans, which were to humiliate Lincoln and Luke on stage. That did it. That infuriated Charity so much, she soon called the girls' friends and told them to come right over and berate them. And she had her camera at the ready to start recording it all. Julia was doing the same.
Charity watched the girls' friends enter the house as she and Julia had their cameras on.
"How could you do this to Luke?! We're through!" Benny says to Luan.
"Yeah, you're all frauds!" Skippy says.
Leni wasn't involved as she didn't know what was happening. All Luna could do was look disgusted at the siblings getting berated.
"And to think I was going to date you!" Winston spat at Lola. "You disgust me!"
"I don't want Haiku near your house unless you're gone!" Maggie says to Luan as she leaves.
After that, they left them to rot and stuff. The girls were still feeling guilty.
"Anything else I should know about?" Charity asked.
"N-No…" Luan sniffed.
"Go to your rooms. You're all grounded indefinitely." Charity says as all the guilty siblings went upstairs.
Lynn talked to Luke at Garrett's house.
"Well, if you didn't do it, who did?" Luke asked.
Lynn lists the siblings, particularly three of them. Luke had a newfound purpose. And that was to make Lola, Lana, and Luan's lives a living hell inside and outside of school.
"They ruined Halloween. Lucy really doesn't want to celebrate this year. Because of them." Lynn says.
A few days after Halloween, things at school weren't going well for the twins or Luan.
They tossed Lola into the garbage, made Lana clean up, and kicked Luan out of the drama club.
Lola noticed Lucy heading to class alone, looking down. Luke hadn't returned home, so she wasn't doing well.
At recess, Lola sees Lucy being picked on. Luke was at a different school and Lincoln was with Luke at the same school.
Lola could have helped, but she decided to let Lucy be alone. Tabby came and defended Lucy.
With Luke, Garrett was feeding him his lunch. Luke was broken and sad.
The entire middle school felt bad for him.
After school, Tabby arrived at music club, but Lucy was absent
"Has anyone seen Lucy?" she asked.
"She skipped school." A kid says.
"Three of her siblings drove Luke out of his own home." Another kid says.
"Lucy's not mentally stable, she shouldn't be alone!" Tabby says.
She arrived at the manor, worried as her stomach churned. She went pale and saw Lucy's body hanging.
"Lucy?" She asked and quickly got her down and put her lips on Lucy's mouth, using CPR. Lucy woke up, looking at Tabby.
"You're alive!" Tabby sobbed, holding Lucy's sore body as Lucy vomited on Tabby. Tabby didn't care about that as she was just happy to see Lucy alive and well.
Lucy's body was thin and light. Tabby carried Lucy to her house and got her something to eat and drink.
"So this is the disgusting girl." Tabby's father says, disappointed. At that, Charity stepped in.
"I will not have you talking trash about my daughter." Charity says. Tabby's father gulped, seeing the fire in Charity's eyes.
"But-but…I can't accept this." He stammered as Tabby looked down. Her whole family didn't like her ever since she confessed. Charity spoke again.
"My daughter is already taken by someone. Lucy is friends with Tabby now. If you open your mouth to trash talk my daughter again, I will have you and your wife fired from your jobs so fast, your heads will spin like the tilt-a-whirl at the county fair!" Charity shouted at Tabby's dad. He nodded fearfully.
"Lucy, I'm so sorry this happened." Tabby says, but notices Lucy heading home.
"Lucy, no, I don't think that's a good idea." Tabby says. "Not with those three siblings there."
Luke sees Luan heading home, her head hung low. A lot had happened to Luan from the start of school to the end of school today. She lost more friends and she was humiliated in all her classes.
Luke looked down. His birthday was next month. He was hoping things would get a bit better.
