The Loud House: A Broken Family- Chapter 3: Checking On The Family

Two months have passed. This Loud House isn't exactly.. Loud anymore. Things have seriously changed ever since Lincoln was forced to leave against his will. The family just isn't the same anymore. We should start with the parents.

Rita Loud has grown to loathe her husband. It hasn't been an easy two months for her, especially as a mother. She doesn't know how she can live through another four months of this. It's like torture. Every time Lynn tries to fool around in bed she just says she's tired and goes to sleep much to his dismay, she even began rethinking their marriage. It shocked her that she even had that thought cross her mind, but she couldn't help it. She loved him of course… but that was before. Now after what he's done she just doesn't feel that same feeling anymore. She wouldn't do anything now of course, for the sake of her family. But she knew that now, she did not love him anymore.

In Lynn Sr's eyes, he knew he had done the right thing. Heck it happened to him growing up. He had broken his father's prized possession and his father had punished him for it. He was sent to boot camp for a couple months and came back a new person. But was it really the right thing to do? I mean Lincoln is only twelve right now, not even a teenager yet… was this really what he wanted for his only son? At first he had done it in a fit of rage and no one could change his mind but now he didn't know what he had done. He felt like he was becoming the one thing he didn't want to become.. His father.

With the oldest of the loud siblings, she felt like she was taking it the hardest. She thought this would be a fast six months but it felt more like six years for her. All she wanted to do now was just hold her little and only brother in her arms once again and never let go of him, she wanted to hold him and take care of him like before.. But she couldn't. That wasn't possible at the moment and it drove her crazy. She then began thinking about her relationship with him again. Was she the best sister towards him? Or even his favorite? She was always bossing him around and turned into a raging monster whenever he entered her and Leni's room. Not only that she hadn't talked to bobby in awhile. He would text her everyday wanting an answer but she never responded because she just didn't feel up to talking, she hadn't gone outside to the mall with Leni or anyone for that matter. It was only when they had to go to school that she left the house. Other than that, Lori was… depressed.

For the second oldest loud sibling, she had changed into someone the sisters had never seen. She had become more assertive, would stop any fights that would happen between the twins, her anger became more dominant than her other emotions, she wasn't her usual happy cherry self anymore. The old Leni had disappeared. But not entirely though.. When she would make dresses she'd burst out crying, it reminded her of when Lincoln would model her dresses for her, he never enjoyed it and she knew that but she was just happy he'd actually agree to it for her. It reminded her of the good times, the Loud House now was not loud nor the same anymore. It honestly broke Leni's heart, and she'd never forgive her father for what he had done.

Now Luna was a different story. She had stopped playing any form of music and didn't care what her friends or family said, because her biggest fan had been sent away and wouldn't be back for another four months. It made her so mad she.. She started to drink in secret. She had been taking it from her parents while they slept and it made her lose her worries. She felt different when she drank, and she didn't care if it was becoming a problem.

Luan had closed down funny business inc. She didn't have her assistant anymore nor her brother. She had even stopped telling jokes, sure she'd say a few here and there but she stopped because it only made her feel worse about herself, she knew she told bad jokes on purpose but it still hurt when no one laughed and it made her feel inadequate about herself. She felt like a nobody and… like if she never existed in the first place.

Lynn continued to play sports and tried her best to just ignore this whole situation. She didn't want to let herself be seen crying or hurting because she took it upon herself to be the one to stay strong. No matter how much it hurt inside. Of course she missed her brother, he was her biggest fan even if he didn't show it as much, she knew he loved her.. Right?

It may not seem like it but Lucy was taking this just as hard as everyone else. She'd always occasionally knock on Lincoln's door hoping she'd hear a knock back.. But she never did. She even asked her spirits for help to make Lincoln return faster but she never got an answer. After a while she began to lose hope, like if Lincoln would never return or if he never existed at all. She didn't know why she was having these thoughts but.. It was driving her crazy.

The twins.. Well, let's just say it wasn't exactly the best case of perfect siblings here. Everyday after Lincoln had left, the sisters would have to make sure they didn't get into a fight, before they would fight as sisters but now.. Something was different. They looked to be fighting over a different reason, like if there was some hate involved. Lana had been taking it well but she did miss her brother deeply, he was always like a second father to her and took care of her when he had too. Lola on the other hand.. Well let's just say that she didn't care one bit. If anything she was happy she pinned the blame on Lincoln, now she didn't have to deal with seeing him prance around in his underwear, she didn't have to deal with him and Clyde watching their stupid ghost hunting show and she didn't have to deal with his disgusting sandwiches that he ate. She was very happy that Lincoln had been sent away and not her. She had something more important on the line anyways.

Lisa unknown to her sisters had been taking Lincoln's departure harder than it seemed. Regularly she would act like her smart self and correct her siblings on whatever mistakes they had made or would call Lana and Lola useless for fighting so much. But in secret.. She had been taking antidepressants. She had been taking them the right way obviously and would take them when she felt close to killing herself. She didn't know exactly why she felt so saddened by Lincoln leaving mainly because she likes to ignore emotions but she did and she felt.. Depressed and.. Suicidal of all things and she took them to control herself.. Because the last thing she wanted was too hurt her family more if she ever did indeed take her own life.

With Lily, it would be like you'd expect. As a one year old she didn't know what was going on she's just a baby for crying out loud. But even for her age, even she could tell things weren't the same without her big brother there to comfort her, she would cry from time to time only for her family to try and calm her down. It never worked though, she'd continue to cry and try to say Lincoln's name, cooing for him to come to her only for her sisters have no idea what to do and only try not to cry themselves.

Until today, things were going this way, it was Lola's big pageant day and she was determined to win it.. Until this happened.

Lana walked into her and her twins room to see Lola in a stupid blue dress, she clearly had makeup on and was finishing up on her hair, she was straightening it while looking at herself in the mirror, she has on a big smile too. Lana is confused on why she would have a smile on and asks,

" Why are you smiling? This stupid pageant can't be that important. " She says annoyed as she walks to her side of their room only to hear a gasp and look back to Lola who turns her chair around and is now facing Lana who says, " It is too important! And the pageant isn't what I'm excited about, it's about what daddy is giving me! " She says happily as she faces the mirror again and continues to work on her blonde short hair.

Lana is now even more confused as she says, " What are you talking about? What is dad giving you? " She asks confused only for Lola to purse her lips and pause on her hair for a second but continue on, which angers Lana as she yells.

" WHAT IS HE GIVING YOU LOLA! " She yells angrily. Lola sighs annoyed and sets her hair straightener down and faces her twin again and says, " Ok fine, if you want to know so badly. " She then smiles again and says, " He's giving me Lincoln's old room! " She cheers happily as Lana looks at her shocked and angered.

She must've begged him for it. Yeah that must be what she did. Lana was angered deeply, Lola was going to take Lincoln's room and turn it into some princess wonderland. She didn't care that she got Lincoln sent away, she only cared about one thing and that was herself. Lana gripped her hands tightly into fists as her skin was literally turning red.

When Lola stood up to get something from her bed she was tackled by Lana causing both of them to hit the ground roughly, Lana threw the first punches hitting Lola in the face already bruising her eye, that's a definite black eye for sure, Lola then kicks her off of her and punches Lana down and punches her repeatedly only for Lana to cover herself.

As the twins continue to fight, the clueless family is downstairs watching TV. This seems to be the only thing they still do together. That is until they hear glass breaking, some things being thrown around and not to mention all the screaming and yelling.

As Lori and Luna are about to run upstairs and break them up before it gets worse than it already is, the twins whilst holding each other fall down the stairs and tumble right into Luna.

They then separate themselves and the whole family can see just how much they've hurt each other this time. Lana is breathing harshly while she has some bruises on her body, her nose is bleeding while her busted lip begins to bruise. Her overalls are scratched, probably because of the broken glass from the window and her hair is all messed up, while her red hat is missing.

Lola on the other hand is even worse. Her left eye is bruised to the point where it won't even open. Her nose is also bleeding as is her mouth, she's holding her left arm which is bleeding from the broken glass. Her dress is absolutely destroyed, theirs rips everywhere and her hair is no longer straight, it's frizzy and messed up.

" WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM LANA! " Lola yelled angrily at her twin who got even more mad at her then said,

" MY PROBLEM! Y- "

" ENOUGH! " Leni yelled surprising everyone. " This is ridiculous! Why are you even fighting this time! " She yelled annoyed.

" Because I'm done protecting this ungrateful jerk! " Lana said angrily as she pointed her finger at her twin while Lola froze in place then said, " Now Lana, shut you m- "

" NO! I'm done! Guys, the reason Lincoln got sent away is because of Lola! She framed him! It was her who broke dad's trophy, she only said it was him because she wanted to win a pageant! " Lana yelled with the breathe she had left.

Everyone freezes as they look at their little sister, Luna is the first person to speak up as she looks at Lola with hate in her eyes.

" Lola. Is this true? " She said while gripping her hands tightly. Lola was looking down only to chuckle then she laughs surprising everyone, she then looks at Luna and says, " Yes! Alright fine, I broke dad's trophy and I blamed Lincoln! But I only did it because the most important pageant of my life was going to happen later in the week, I wasn't about to get grounded because of some dumb trophy that's over twenty years old. "

Everything Lola had said had not only angered Lana and everyone else, it pushed her over the edge, she had finally snapped.

She then looked down and saw a piece of glass from their window that they broke while fighting, she picks it up and runs at Lola and pulls her by her shoulder then does what no one expected.

She slashes Lola over her right eye, not only making her bleed, it will definitely scar her for the rest of her life.

Lola falls down clutching her face as she screams a bloodcurdling scream. Lana backs up scared, she then drops the bloody piece of glass on the carpet staining it as she covers her mouth in shock of what she's done, her shocked family looks at her as Luna says.

" What did you just do.. "

Meanwhile At Royal Wood's Lake

A body is pulled from the lake as the police gather around to identify it. A detective runs over and checks her hair color only to be exactly what he expected.

" Detective! Is she- " His partner asks only to be cut off.

" Yes. She is blond. The royal woods killer strikes again. " He says as he grips his hand angrily.
