cabgrant: once again, true, I indeed should have made the argument between Lynn and Lincoln longer, but to be honest I was lost on how that little argument would go as I focused on Lynn's stubbornness, and I tried to kinda make it short as Lincoln wouldn't even want to talk to her when she was being stubborn.

Guest: Yes, it will lead to that, but it's gonna be a while because of the new problem, but solutions will also come out of the new problem. Just know that this story will have a bittersweet ending.

Lynn Loud was currently In her room by herself. Everyone else was gone, Luan, Luna, and their mother had gone to the pharmacy as Luan's pills were almost gone, which Luan said was strange because she didn't take that many.

Well, back to Lynn, who was bouncing a ball off the wall and catching it. She was currently thinking of her current crisis. Confronting her so-called "faults". Lynn didn't believe that she had faults, sure she can be a bit competitive and jealous, but she wasn't that bad, like Luna, Lincoln, and Lucy made her out to be. No, Lynn Loud Jr. was a perfect athlete and one of the coolest sisters in the Loud Family. How could anyone not like her?

"Every word that comes out of your mouth is going to be about how I messed up! about how I'm and fault! how I'm the problem!"

Lynn Grumbled, "He was just being a wuss," Lynn told herself

She threw the ball harder and she caught it the same, she threw it back as Lincoln's words began to repeat themselves.

"you never look at yourself and see how much of a bitch you can be!?"

"I'm not a bitch," She told herself

She threw the ball harder

"NO! Because all that goes through your thick skull is how great and amazing you are!"

"Stop it" Lynn told her brain "he's just trying to hurt me"

She threw it harder than before

"of course that's what you think..."

"I-I know I'm right," She said

She threw the ball harder now, you could hear the pounding through the whole house.

"It's always me... never you,"

She threw the ball harder and it came back even faster and hit her right in the face. Lynn grunted in pain as she looked to where the ball landed

"Son of a bitch!" Lynn cried

She left her room and went to the bathroom to look at her face, it wasn't bad but it was gonna leave a bruise on the corner of her left eye. She sighed and was just glad that she didn't break her nose... again. She walked out and went back to her room. This time there was no ball throwing and she just lied on her bed and looked to the ceiling. Now, and only now, had Lynn Loud Jr. began to truly think about her faults, about how she acted, about how her actions had affected the people around her. She remembered a lot of bad things that she had done to each of her siblings, not to mention there were somethings that even she kinda hated about herself, like clogging up the toilet, While Lynn wasn't the definition of "girly" There were somethings that even she thought were gross. She just never wanted to be like her other siblings, she never wanted to worry about her features or dating people, or anything that Teenage movies and shows depicted girls worrying about.

She always thought that was useless. So when Lynn finally got a baby brother, she was happy, because then she had someone who she could relate to. That's why she played sports with him because she always thought that's what boys liked, that's what she liked after all, and most called her a tom-boy.

But Lincoln was different, He wasn't like most boys that Lynn knew or played with, no, Lincoln was totally the opposite of them.

Lynn had guessed that this was why she treated him harshly sometimes, because despite him loving all of his sisters, he spent little time with him, and she hated that, she always assumed that he hated her for who she was and how she acted, so that's why she treated him harshly, bullied him. Hell, she remembered how she made Lincoln come to her baseball game once, she had to use a bat just to get him-

Oh

OH!

Lynn now knew what Lincoln saw in her. Not once, not even after the "Bad Luck" event had she told the family the true side of her story. She had threatened Lincoln. With a bat.

"shit!" She said

she sat up and turned around to punch her pillow, she needed something to punch. She now saw how in the wrong she truly was, not once had she fessed up to her action, nor had she even apologized to Lincoln. She was never one to apologize to anyone, only when she was wrong would she apologize, but she had been in the wrong for so long, and never once... had she admitted to it.

Lynn Loud now accepted and embraced the truth.

She was a terrible sister.

Meanwhile, Lori was walking around at 7:00 and it was already dark to where they could see the stars in the sky, and the sidewalks were lit up by the street lamps. Although she was going very slowly, though, no one would notice, to others it just looked like she was taking her time, but the real reason was that she had taken another of Luan's pills. Yep. This was Lori's escape from all the stress and turmoil that she was going through. She just needed anything to have the pain be gone. However, she was also slowly coming own from her little high and she was a bit pissed off at this. She hated feeling reality again, it made her feel cold and it left her itching for more. Lori was gonna sneak behind a bush so she could another pill before heading home, but then she spotted the last person she was actually expecting to see on her small walk, she saw him and he saw her and both stopped.

"Lincoln" Lori said

"Lori" Lincoln replied

There was silence, but Lori wanted to talk to him. She needed to talk to him. She needed to know what was so wrong with her that he had to go and live with her best friend. It felt so weird not having him around, and she had missed him.

"Lincoln could we talk?" Lori asked

"about what?" Lincoln asked

"I-I need to know..." she began before swallowing and sighing, "I Need to Know what's wrong with me," She told him.

"what?" Lincoln asked

"I need to know what you see that is wrong with me" Lori repeated herself

"A-Are you fucking serious Lori!?" Lincoln asked her

"Lincoln Please! I-I need to know!" Lori cried

"Lori I can't help you do that! If I do all you'll do is ignore it, not believe it's true! You need to figure out that for yourself!" Lincoln cried

Lori growled, "Why can't you help me!?" Lori cried

"Because I can't!" Lincoln cried "I can't help you! No one can help you figure yourself out, Lori! The only person that can, is you"

"What the hell is that even suppose to mean!? How can I help myself if others can't even give me some hints!" Lori cried

"Lori there are somethings that people can't help you with!" Lincoln said "This is why I hate you so much!"

Lori was shocked and hurt as his words, she had already heard him say those words to her before and they stung, but now, now they nearly broke her heart. It hurt so much. "H-How can you say that?" Lori asked

"because you're a bully!" Lincoln cried

"How am I a bully!?" Lori cried

"Because y-you bully me into feelings t-that I don't want to feel! I hate these feelings!" Lincoln cried "I'm sad and angry and confused a-and... I don't know!" Lincoln cried as tears fell from his eyes.

"If I hurt you so bad then why do you keep on forgiving me!?" Lori cried as tears fell from her face as well

"I DON'T KNOW!" Lincoln cried "I don't know why I keep forgiving you! I shouldn't but I do"

Lori didn't know how to respond, it hurt her too much to look at her brother without feeling guilty. To know that she had caused so much pain on her brother and knowing that he hated her had crushed her. She had no boyfriend, no friends, most of her family hated her, and her brother hated her. She had nothing. Lori ran off and didn't look back. Tears fell from her life as she now knew she had nothing.

Lincoln was still processing everything and only realized that Lori was gone as she turned a corner, Lincoln snapped out of his daze and ran after her, but as soon as he reached the corner he couldn't see her anymore, he ran in the direction of his home and guessed that was where she was going. After 5 minutes he stopped when he saw a figure sitting on a bus bench just two miles away from his house. It was Lori. Lincoln ran up to the street and saw that she was staring up at the sky. Lincoln calmed himself down and decided that he needed to tell her, maybe, and hopefully, he could help her.

"Lori" Lincoln said as he approached

"Yeah?" She mumbled

Lincoln now took a seat next to her on the bench and looked up to the sky with her, he decided to start off the conversation

"I-I wanted to say I'm sorry... and that I love you, I-I'm just so angry because... because of everything, and because I feel like you guys don't care about me," Lincoln told her

There was no answer from her, so Lincoln continued to talk, he looked to the sky and saw how bright the stars were tonight, one of the many perks of living in a small town.

"The stars look amazing tonight, huh Lori?" He asked

No response

"Lori?" Lincoln asked

Lincoln scooted closer to her and tapped her on the arm when that didn't get her attention, Lincoln lightly nudged her and she slowly fell on his right side, but something from her hand fell and landed on the seat of the bench.

It was a pill bottle.

Luan's Xanax pill bottle.

Lincoln's eyes widened in fear as the gravity of the situation hit him. Lori had been taking pills for god knows how long, now... now she had overdosed.

"Lori! Lori! Hey, come on! Wake up!" Lincoln cried as he shook her "wake up! Wake up! Come one wake up!" Lincoln pleaded as he shook her

Lincoln quickly, grabbed his phone and dialed 911. As it called, tears fell from Lincoln's eyes as he looked to Lori. he wasn't too late, he couldn't have been, he had arrived just in time right!?

...Right?

All Lincoln could hear was a single thought that rang through his head

'This is all y fault...'
