Chapter 1: Why Does Everyone Hate Me?

Lincoln Loud walked inside his room with a tired sigh. He slammed the door hard as he started feeling dizzy. His face scrunched up and became a light shade of pink and red, with pain and anger. Keeping his phone on his dresser, he dropped down on the bed, with his face, facing the ceiling.

"Why? Why God?" he asked out loud. Tears started flowing effortlessly down his eyes

Why did it have to be Chandler? Couldn't she have been with literally anyone else? Why would she try to hurt him so badly by breaking up with him infront of all their 'friends' at the mall? He had been nothing but nice to her. He's always been there for her at times she needed his help. He always went great lengths to make sure that she kept her reputation at school. He poured his heart out to her! And now she kicks him out like garbage! What for? For refusing to have sex! That's outrageous! They're just 13!

He then remembers the harsh words his 'friends' used towards him at the mall, right after the breakup…

"Serves you right! I mean, you're a good friend but you're a shitty, cry-baby boyfriend" said Rusty.

"Lincoln, I honestly expected more than this 'pathetic rabbit' bullshit from you" said a disappointed Zack.

"You should have let her fuck you bro" suggested Liam.

"You really are not boyfriend material at all!" yelled Stella.

Only Girl Jordan didn't say anything. But Lincoln understands. Peer pressure can literally kill you! At least, she felt bad for him…or did she?

He wondered what Clyde would say to him. He really hoped Clyde was there with him at the mall, standing up for him.

But all that, didn't matter. What really hurt him was how his older sisters, except Lori and Luna (who are both not at home at the moment) handled it.

When he came home and told his 'concerned' sisters about what happened, this was their reaction-

"So stupid Lincoln! Thought you were a real man bro" said Luan while she was shaking her head in disappointment.

"I sense a complete lack of balls in you Stinkon" commented Lynn as she punched his face.

"Linky, I really don't know what so say..when a girl gives you an offer, you should like, totes take it! Otherwise, don't come to us in tears. I'm really busy with my new designs and can't help you with something so juvenile" suggested a stressed out Leni.

What Leni and Luan said were like daggers to his heart. He trusted them with a lot of things. Why would they say something like that? Now, he knew what was gonna happen. Ronnie would pretend like she was the one getting hurt and cry in her brother's arms. Then Bobby's gonna call Lori and break up with her..and then, she would break into his room, burn his comics and beat the shit outta him. Story of his life!

And he's sick of it! He got up from the bed and stripped down nude from head to toe. Watching himself in the mirror, he saw a nice slim body, not bulky, but like that of a gymnist. His face resembled a young Niall Horan. He had a nice bubble butt and indeed, a big package. He saw how nice his hair looked, dyed blonde with a few streaks of his original white. Everyone at school, even those who disliked him openly, liked his hair! He was unique! Yet, there comes this bitch, thinking she can have and throw away a guy like him!

"That's enough!" he thought. If there's something Lincoln seriously hated being, it was being a narcissist. He scolded himself mentally for his little thoughts about himself being better than the others. If he does that, how can he be better than her or that jerk Chandler?

He lied in his bed, naked with an Ace-Savvy comic-book in hand. Somehow, this has always made him clear his mind, relax and think better.

He felt so complicated right now. He never thought Stella, Zack, Clyde, Liam, Leni and Luan thought so little of him. He was angry at himself for being a wimp and taking all the harsh words without a single comeback. He still remembers his dad telling him how hard his first heartbreak was..but Lincoln was damn sure it wasn't as bad as what he had to go through at the mall. Today, he didn't just lose his girlfriend, he lost all his 'friends'. He lost faith in his older sisters too. What kind of monster sisters say stuff like that to their heart-broken baby brother? He felt like everyone he's known his entire life, had betrayed him. He felt so alone. This is something he felt when he was kicked out of the house for being 'Bad Luck'. With that, the water-works began. He buried his face into his pillow and cried with all his heart. He just wanted to end this misery somehow.

He stayed like that for 30 minutes. But, his heart still felt heavy. He wanted to let it out, talk to someone…that might probably be exactly what he needs to do! But, his sisters and friends are against him now and he has to wait till evening to talk to his mom or dad. Moreover, he was afraid to call Clyde. What if he had turned against him too? He felt like he was gonna break now. The crying..all that felt like a futile attempt to calm down..one minute, he was leading a perfect life and the next minute, he loses everyone..no,no,no! He doesn't lose everyone, he finds out the ugly truth about everyone close to him!

He suddenly got up to look at the time and remembered that Lori's gonna come back home soon. His thoughts went back to what she was gonna do to him when she finds out. He quickly put on his boxers and hid all his comic books in a relatively safe place. But still, he didn't wanna get Lori's beating. She would literally break his bones if she knows what happened. Lincoln knew it would be wise to go outside now. But, going outside isn't exactly a good idea, given the state he was in. Still, the thought of his sisters (who disowned him) joining Lori in beating him up for fun, sent shivers down his spine. Lynn would definitely want in and Luan's just crazy and would kill him anyways, he thought.

He quickly searched the room to find potential weapons. He remembered hiding a kitchen knife somewhere inside his room after Lynn attacked him with a baseball bat during the 'Bad Luck' incident. But, he just can't remember where! He started searching for that frantically.

Sometime later, he looked out of the window to see a pissed Lori make her way into the house and slam the front door.

He could hear her yell from downstairs "Where is that little shit? I'm so gonna turn him into a fucking human pretzel! You all, stay in your rooms. Whoever peeks outside or tries to save that little bitch, gets bludgeoned to death. Understood?"

This scared the shit out of him. "Shit,shit ,shit,shit,shit!" he cursed and searched frantically inside his drawer.

Lori was outside his room now, rapping on the door hard and yelling "Come on out, you little shit! I'm gonna kill ya when I get my hands on ya!"

Lincoln found the knife taped under his desk. He took a deep breath and pressed the cold metal to his wrist. He hesitated to make the killing move. Lori kept banging the door harder and harder every second. Lincoln knew he had to make a choice- to let Lori cripple him, but get to live his life or end all his pain right now, right this second. He started crying again.

Lori kept getting angrier. "Are you crying you idiot? Pathetic! Just like I expected! Not man enough for Ronnie!" she made fun of him from the other side. She then violently turned the door knob to find that it was unlocked the whole time! She felt very stupid at that moment, but instantly barged in and threatened "There you are you little.."

But, what she saw inside was completely unexpected- Her brother, whom she threatened to kill, was standing near his bed, half-naked, crying, with a knife aimed at his neck.

He warned in a shaky tone "Stay back! I won't ask twice! I swear, if you come closer, I'll slit my throat right now!"

Lori's anger dissipated and was replaced by regret and fear. Lincoln was planning to kill himself all because, she threatened him! She felt terrible at that moment and put her hands up in the air. She told her brother "Lincoln, I swear, I won't hurt you. Just put the knife down. Let us talk this through, ok?" and started coming closer.

"I said don't come closer! I'm warning ya, I don't have anything to lose Lori!" said Lincoln in that same shaky tone, his cheeks wet from the crying.

All the Loud sisters except Luna were standing outside Lincoln's room in utter shock.

Lori walked a bit cautiously towards him "What do you mean by that? You think killing yourself will feel good? What would mom and dad feel? What about us Lincoln? We would be devastated to lose you. So, just give me the knife, ok? Nice and easy.."

Lincoln retorted "Oh, shut up Lori! You guys never gave a shit about me! I had been a fool before, but now, I've seen your true colors and I'm sick of living a lie!". The knife was still pressed to his neck.

Lori stood there with her hands up and asked "True colors? You think we don't love you baby bro? You know that's not true!"

Lincoln shot back "You guys love me? Don't lie to me! All you care about is your fairy tale life with your 'Boo Boo Bear'! I would have been at the hospital right now if I didn't put this knife at my throat and guess who would have beaten me to a pulp? You! And for the others, they don't give 2 shits about how I get hurt everyday..ask them what they said to me..go on..ASK THEM!"

"Guys, what did you say to Lincoln?" asked a confused Lori.

Luan and Leni audibly gulped. But Lynn Jr. spoke out "We told him what kind of a useless boyfriend he was to Ronnie, who deserved better than some skinny white haired freak running around the house in his underwear. We all know that's true, am I right?"

Lincoln could no longer bury his anger after what Lynn just said. He felt like he was gonna snap any moment. All he heard was some constant buzzing inside his ears. His head started to pain and without thinking, he lunged towards Lynn Jr. with his knife.

Everyone froze at that moment. Everyone except Lori, who grabbed an out of control Lincoln at the waist and used all her strength to take the knife away from him. (Self defense classes finally came in handy, after all) She threw it at the far corner of the room. Grabbing him tightly, Lori said to him softly "What were you thinking? I know what Lynn said was harsh, but do you really want her to get inside your head like that? If you stab her, you could be taken to juvie. Do you want that?"

Lincoln looked around him. The younger sisters felt scared and were crying, seeing their brother like that. Lynn froze exactly where she was for a moment..if Lori hadn't stopped Lincoln, she could have gotten stabbed! Leni started crying too. Luan just stood there, trying to understand what the heck was going on!

Lincoln answered in an angry voice "Juvie sounds better than this nut house I live in!". He continued "You know what, you would have said the exact same harsh words, if you haven't seen me attempting to kill myself! So, don't tell me shit about how you care about me! I am a failure..now look at me, I even failed to kill myself and everyone would know what kind of a loser I am"

This angered Lori who threw him on his bed, slammed the door shut and locked it from the inside. She warned the others "Back to your rooms! All of you, now! If I find a single soul outside their respective rooms, I'll personally make sure that that person suffers" from inside the room.

Lincoln had tears effortlessly running down his eyes. Lori walked towards him and took a seat on his bed. She told him "You, Lincoln Loud are neither a failure, nor a loser! But, the way you treat women is not acceptable at all! "

Lincoln had a quizzical expression on his tear soaked face.

Lori got irritated at that and asked "You think what you did was right? Do I have to spell things out for you Lincoln?"

She continued with a disappointed sigh "Lincoln, you broke up with Ronnie for not having sex with you..I honestly didn't expect this from you. I thought, my baby brother knows how to treat women..this is..it's..I'm very disappointed in you"

Lincoln just laughed at that. This angered Lori, who asked him "Oh, you think this is funny? First, you blackmail a girl into sleeping with you and second, you try to stab your sister..not cool bro!"

Lincoln asked him "You just believe whatever you hear, don't you?"

Lori gave him a confused expression. She asked him "What do you mean? You have your side of this story?"

Lincoln answered in an irritated tone "Not just my side! It's the truth! Ronnie lied!"

Lori told him "Let's hear it then"

Lincoln sat up on his bed and started "Ok..so, everything was going normally until 9pm, last night, when Ronnie Anne called and asked me if I wanted to have sex this weekend at her house, as her parents would be out"

Lori said with uncertainty "Ok, go on.."

Lincoln went on "I..I told her I'm not ready for that kind of a thing yet and she hung up on me. I called her back a few times, but she didn't answer. I didn't sleep well and woke up today to find a voice message from her saying 'We're cool'. So, everything went fine at school..that was before lunch. The real bullshit began when she decided to tell all our friends about it during lunch. They just laughed it off and I thought everything would be fine…"

Lincoln paused for a moment to take a break. Lori rubbed his back and told him "Don't stop there. I'll not get angry. I promise"

Lincoln continued with a scared tone, thinking Lori wouldn't believe his story at all "So, after school, we all decided to hang out at the mall. That's where she kissed that man-whore Chandler…"

Lori instantly asked him "Carol Pingrey's cousin? That brat!"

Lincoln felt a bit better to see Lori not dismissing his side completely. He continued in a more optimistic tone "So, she kissed Chandler and broke up with me. She called me pathetic and a piece of garbage..just because, I refused to sleep with her..And my friends..they were worse. They told me how stupid I am. Even Stella told me that I'm not 'boyfriend material' at all. Only Girl Jordan didn't say anything harsh"

Lori said "You know Lincoln, your friends..they don't deserve you. I have seen how much you worked hard to include Stella to your friend-circle. I mean, that nerd didn't have a single friend before you made her feel welcome. This is..just..I feel like I am gonna beat those little bitches up for doing.."

Lincoln couldn't believe that Lori was speaking in his favor. He just stared at her face in shock.

Lori snapped him out of his trance and asked him "What about Clyde? I know he's worried about you"

Lincoln said in a sad voice "He wasn't there at the mall. I didn't wanna call him. What if he's worse? What if he's disappointed in me too?"

This melted Lori's heart. She looked at Lincoln with a smile and assured him "Clyde's your BFF. I'm pretty sure that he's not like those fake friends of yours. When I get my hands on those bastards, I'm pretty sure I'll kill them! You can't stop me Lincoln. Nobody can!"

Lincoln asked her curiously "How can you be so sure that I'm not lying?"

Lori just smiled at him and said "Oh baby bro, you're so innocent! I know that I've been terrible to you lately, but I've taken care of you since you were in your diapers. I know your 'truth face' and your 'caught with your hands in a cookie jar face' and that was the 'truth face' that I saw all the time"

Lincoln just nodded at her. He felt so much better to talk it out with someone. He never expected it to be Lori. But, who cares? He's glad that they are bonding after such a long time.

She continued "Look bro, I'm really glad you didn't sleep with that bitch. I mean, a lot of guys jump into anything sex related without a second thought. But the point is, you didn't! You proved that you're not like the others. You're better!"

Lincoln smiled softly and said in a sad tone "I'm sorry that Bobby broke up with you..I know, I should have taken the offer for your sake..but honestly, I'm not ready to have sex with Ronnie! I've given her too much. She can't always get whatever she wants. I'm so sorry for causing it"

Lori assured him "Don't worry baby bro. I'm tired of that spineless piece of shit, always acting on his sister's wishes. I know, I feel sad about the breakup, but for both you and me, it's for the best"

Lincoln never thought that Lori would be so thoughtful. He tackled her to a hug and said "Thank you for listening Lori. I really needed someone to talk to"

"Anytime" Lori said.

Breaking the hug, she asked him seriously "So, what did our sisters say to you Linc? Just let it all out, ok?"

Lincoln told her everything. Lori couldn't believe Leni and Luan said something that harsh to Lincoln. She knew LJ was a heartless bitch..but Leni and Luan..she still couldn't believe the Leni part at all..

"I'm not forgiving them anytime soon for what they did" said Lincoln seriously. He continued "I just hope that Luna understands me like you do"

Lori assured him "She will. I know, Luna loves you more than life itself and so do I and all the little ones in this house. I remember, when I was angry, Lola, Lana, Lucy and Lily were trying their best to avoid me from hurting you and I'm deeply sorry for my behavior. I'd be the best sister to you after this, I promise"

Lincoln hugged her again and asked "What about Ronnie? Aren't you gonna tell Bobby the truth?"

Lori answered his question by calling Bobby's number. But, it just kept ringing. She knew he wasn't gonna pick up. What a cry baby!

She ordered Lincoln "Wear some clothes, wash your face. We're leaving for Bobby's house in 5 minutes. I have to make this right" and gave him a quick peck on the lips.

Although it was just sisterly affection, Lincoln was taken aback. He surely felt something strange. But at the moment, he brushed it off and started getting ready.

Lori grabbed her keys and both of them made it outside the house, with Lincoln ignoring the older sisters. Lori told the sisters "We're going to Bobby's place. Gotta tie up some loose ends with those Santiago losers..in the meantime, don't burn the house down, please! Lisa, you're in charge. We'll be back in an hour"

Then she continued in a venomous tone "And when we're back, Leni, Luan, Lynn, we all are gonna have a little chat. Mom and Dad would be involved too, alright?"

Luan and Lynn gulped and looked at each other in fear. Leni looked heart broken and confused. She said "I'm sorry Linky, for hurting your feelings. I'm under a lot of pressure right now with my new designs for the show. I don't know what came over me when I said those mean things to you. Please, forgive us"

Lincoln just ignored her and got inside Vanzilla. Lori started the engine and looked at her brother who had a blank expression on his face. She asked him with concern in her voice "You feeling okay, Linc?"

Lincoln smiled and answered "No, I'm okay. Let's go get that lying bitch!"

A/N: Would Bobby believe the truth or will he be the spineless idiot he is and defend his 'innocent' sister? Lemme know what you guys think would happen. Anyways, I'm deeply sorry for making Leni, Luan, Lynn and all of Lincoln's friends sound like jerks. I don't have anything against them. To let you guys know, Lori and Lincoln would start feeling something for each other in the next chapter. Until then, I'll see you guys later!
