So if you haven't noticed in the last chapter, Lynn Sr didn't appear.. It's time you all found out the story of how Lynn Sr and Rita loud's marriage fell apart.

The Loud House: A Broken Family- Chapter Eight: Broken Marriage

Lincoln thought he would be happy right now. He's back home with his family and they all are very happy with the fact that he's back, except there was someone missing.

Someone very important to Lincoln, which may surprise you. It was his father. Lynn Sr. Now you're probably wondering, "Lincoln? Why in the world do you even care? He sent you away from your own family for ten years! " and yes, while that is true, Lincoln's anger at his father has been long forgotten.

What can he say, ten years gives him a lot of time to get rid of the anger and to move on.

As a week goes by the family plus Rebecca can tell something is bothering Lincoln as he tries to fix up the house, so Rebecca asks him about it before they head to sleep.

"Lincoln can I ask you something? " She asked as he was about to undress, he took his shirt off and stood in front of her in his orange boxers and said, "Sure babe, you can ask me anything. "

"What's the matter? All week I thought you would be happy right now, instead you've been.. Mopey.. " She said in a confused tone.

"Well.. it's a little complicated. " Lincoln said as he looked to the side to avoid eye contact only for Rebecca to notice and stand in front of him, she then said, "Sweetie you literally fought one of the most well trained human beings and just barely survived, that's complicated, so whatever it is that's bothering you, you know you can tell me. "

Lincoln felt a smile spread across his face and he nodded, they both sat down on his bed and Lincoln said, "It's about my dad, he's not here and everyone is acting normal, I brought it up so many times but when I do, they just keep quiet and act as if I never said it in the first place! " Lincoln ended his sentence yelling, he then stood up and punched the wall making slight cracks shocking Rebecca, she then said, "That's what happened, isn't it? "

Lincoln turned around and said, "They won't talk about him and I don't know why. " He gripped his fists angrily only to feel a hand grab it and say, "Ask your mom about him. " She said.

Lincoln only sighed and said, "I've already tried that, but before I can even finish what I'm saying she pretends she has to take a shower or has to go grocery shopping, but I know she's lying. "

"How can you tell? " Rebecca asked, crossing her arms. "I can see it in her eyes and I can feel her heartbeat increasing, not only that she won't make eye contact with me the whole time.

"Hmm, well then the only option you have left is to confront her. " Rebecca said with ease only for her boyfriend to look at her like she was crazy and say, "No way! I'll only give her a heart attack! I'm not doing that! "

"What other choice do you have? She'll only keep running off, if you don't confront her about it, you'll never know what happened to your dad, you do wanna know right? " She asked softly as Lincoln only nodded and said, "Ok fine, I'll do it, but I won't scare her. "

"Fine, but you need to get her to explain it at least. " She said as she laid on the bed. "Trust me, I will. " Lincoln said as he turned off the lights with a look of determination.

Sunday night- 10 PM

Rita Loud had just finished talking on the phone to someone and got up to walk to her room but for some reason she could feel eyes on her, it gave her the chills so she hurried up, as she opened the door she saw Lincoln sitting in a desk chair facing her, he then said, "Hey mom, we need to talk. " He said with a serious expression on.

Rita was shocked to see her son in her room but put on a smile and said, "Lincoln you nearly scared me half to death but w-what is it? What do you need to talk abo- "

"YOU ALREADY KNOW! " Lincoln yelled silencing his mother as he stood up and walked over to her, she walked back a little scared and said, "Lincoln just calm down swee- "

"No mom! I'm not gonna calm down! I want to know where he is! Now! " Lincoln said as he backed his mom up against the wall, she couldn't back up anymore, Lincoln could finally get his answer.

"I'm sorry Lincoln, but I don't know what you're talking abo- " She was cut off when Lincoln fell to his knees and grabbed her pants tightly as he looked up with tears in his eyes, he then said, "Please mom.. I need to know, I know things haven't exactly been the best while I was gone but please.. just tell me where he is and I won't ask you again, I promise. "

Rita was shocked her son would fall to his knees and beg to know where her ex husband was, but the look in his eyes really let her know that this was important to him, and she knew she had no other choice but to tell him.

But she knew she couldn't play dumb anymore, she had to tell Lincoln, mainly because he deserved to know but also because she didn't want to see her son cry on his knees.

"Ok fine.. It's time you knew anyways. " Rita said as she looked away as Lincoln sat on the couch and said, "Well then, let's get started. "

Rita sat on one of the guest chairs and said, "It started when we first found out when you were dead. "

Flashback- 10 Years Ago

At this point in time, the whole Loud family was looked at like monsters. They don't know how but news got out about Lincoln and it was flipped to sound like they had killed Lincoln, obviously they denied this and said he was killed in boot camp but no-one believed them.

School life became impossible, every day more and more sisters were getting into fights with someone going from Lori all the way down to Lisa, Rita was fired from her job, while Lynn Sr had to close down his restaurant due to no-one coming at all.

Lori and Leni had lost their friends, they only had each other and their sisters but the Casagrandes were there for them and while Lori had Bobby, Leni had Carlota, they've become best friends for a very long time.

Luna had plans to ask out Sam but she only ran away in fear of Luna which only broke her heart, ever since then she would never return to school and stay in her room locked in with Luan, speaking of Luan, Benny broke up with her to make sure he wouldn't get beat up by any bullies, he said it for his safety even if he loved her to death.

Lynn was kicked off every single one of her sports teams, clubs and her friends started to ignore her until they got annoyed when she came back every day, they told her off and Lynn, well she didn't take it very well, she ended up almost killing them by beating them off within an inch of their lives, she had to be tazed by several different policemen just to get her off of them, not only that she was arrested and sentenced to three years in juvenile detention, that was hard on the entire family.

Lucy had felt even more of her own soul disappear from her body, she had lost all of her friends including haiku, they had been friends for a while and when she had stopped talking to her, she had cried even harder then she regularly did.

Lana and Lola had grown even farther apart, Lana moved out of the room just to get away from her twin who she referred to as mysterious women that lived in their house, which only angered Lola as she called her out for this saying she was only making things worse which only ensued in a fight that the family couldn't stop, it would turn into a war zone until both girls tired each other out.

Lisa had stopped taking antidepressants mainly because she was overdoing them, not only that she was let go from her job as a teacher in various colleges and her name was basically ruined as a famous scientist and she had all her trophies revoked from her which broke her heart even more, she had worked so hard to get those and even though she didn't show her emotions very much, she let it show that she was sad her life's work was being taken away from her.

Lily was a baby.

Then it was Rita and Lynn Sr. They had definitely grown apart because of this, they would fight more often which would get so bad that all the girls would huddle together in fear that it would never end.

Then there would be times when Lynn Sr would hit Rita a few times which she would respond the same way and an actual fight would break out between them, of course they only did this when the kids weren't home and when they did come home, they would find the place even more in shambles then it already was.

Then when it got so bad that they were scaring Lily, they knew they had to stop, and so they got a divorce a little while after, Lynn wanted custody of a few of the girls but they all didn't want to be anywhere near him so the judge gave Rita custody over everyone while Lynn Sr could see them over the weekends, though none of the girls would ever want to see him.

"There was this one night where he popped up drunk and.. We didn't see him again after that. " She said as she looked away.

"What happened that night? " Lincoln asked on the edge of his seat.

'I..I don't think you want to know Li- " She was cut off again when Lincoln said, "I need to know everything mom, please. "

She looked at the look in his eyes and said and saw that her son was the one asking and not some other monster and she nodded and said, "Ok.. but.. It's not something I've told everyone. "

Lynn Sr had clumsily walked up the steps to the loud house with a bottle of cheap beer in one hand and a ripped up picture of Lincoln, he had more than he needed that night and his actions weren't fueled by his own doing, it was the alcohol that made his legs and arms move on their own that controlled his body.

He banged on the door harder then he intended too and snickered like a little kid, when Rita opened the door and had a look of shock and bewilderment, she did not expect to see him here and in this state, he had never really drank alcohol regularly, he hated it as a matter of fact, Rita then asked, "Lynn what the hell are you doing here? And why do you reek of alcohol? " She covered her nose as she hid behind the door.

"W-w-What am I d-doing here? W-I live here duh! I swear Rita you've gone a little cuckoo in the head. " Lynn said with a slight laugh as he was about to step but she blocked him and said, "Listen Lynn I don't know what game you're playing but it's not funny! Now go home it's eleven pm for christ's sake. " She said as she was about to shut the door when he pushed inside and pushed Rita down by accident.

He stepped in clumsily and looked around then said, "Di-did you paint? The house looks amazi- oh.. " He stopped talking when he saw her nightgown had been undone and her lingerie was showing which she only noticed when she saw the tent in his pants growing.

She then fixed herself up and stood up and said, "Ok that's it Lynn! I've had enough of you! I'm getting a restraining order against you! " She yelled at him, the girls were with pop-pop so she could let out as much as she wanted only, he didn't react.

He just stood there looking at her, she then saw the look in his eyes and she had seen it before, it was lust. She had seen this look plenty of times, "Lynn.. now let's not get too ahead of ourselves. "

Only he did and rushed her as he pushed her down and got on top of her and kissed her on the lips, at first she tried pushing him off, this was something she didn't want from him anymore and yet, she couldn't resist it! She hadn't felt this type of affection from him in a long time and the way he was kissing her made her heat up even more, so she kissed back and just like that, with the door open, on the floor making love once again.

In the morning, before the kids arrived from pop-pop's, Rita awoke with the full intent of getting their father out of the house before they saw him only, he was gone already with a note on the door, it read, "Jesus christ Rita please forgive me! I had too much to drink and when I woke up I saw we were in bed with no clothes and.. I hope I didn't do what I think I did and if I did, you have every right to be mad at me, I just.. Miss you so much and even though you don't love me anymore I still love you and I won't ever stop loving you, even though you blame me for our son's death, I hope you can forgive me. " From Lynn Loud.

Rita smiled at the letter as she whispered a few words from her mouth, "I love you too Lynn. "

Lincoln had finished reading the letter and was lost for words, he thought his dad did the unthinkable but that wasn't the case, then Lincoln said, "So.. you never saw him again after that night? "

"Nope, I tried calling but he never picked up, he's been missing for a while now, listen Lincoln, please don't tell the girls this they would be so mad at m- "

"Don't worry mom, I'm not a snitch. " Lincoln said with a smile as his mother smiled back.

Meanwhile With The Royal Woods Killer

The man drove up to what looked to be an old house in the forests as he parked his car a few meters away.

He stepped out and walked inside the house, he looked back to see if anyone was there but of course there was no-one as he shut the door and made his way downstairs to the basement, he looked to the far left corner and said, "Are you hungry? I brought some snacks! "

A man with tape and some handcuffs tied to a pole looked at the royal woods killer and tried to curse at him only for his amusement, he then said, "Oh don't be so mad you won't be alive for long.. Lynn. "

He then laughed evilly as the moon glistened over royal woods.
