The tie is broken...the winner is...Shunned. Followed by Lady Dimitrescu's Husband in a close second. 

Hello again!

"What do you mean by hello again....We've only been sitting here for a couple of minutes." Lisa said.

Well, Time works differently. For example, a couple of minutes for you is actually several days for me. But we have more important matters to get to before driving into a conversation about how time is different between us.

"Like how Mom and Dad disowned me at the end of the second chapter." Lori said.

The reasoning behind that will be revealed in this chapter.

Lori seemed to accept that and turned her attention to the scene when she noticed the name coming up..which made her and plenty of others sigh.

Luan

"Why is it in her POV? Shouldn't it be someone more serious?" Lori said.

Luan can be serious and mature...in some situations. Besides someone that I know really likes her...enough to constantly ask me to update Luan books which I'm slowly starting to hate.

"Just give her a chance. Luan's not that bad." Lincoln said. The audience agreed, reluctantly, and just started to watch the scene play out.  

I couldn't believe my ears when Mom said that she's actually going to disown Lori. Not like I could blame her seeing what she did to Lincoln. Whatever we had is now broken due to that and I'm sure that the others felt the same way. Besides who know's what Lori would do to us if she was allowed to stay in our house. 

"Wow. Her thinking is actually mature." Lisa said. 

"I can be mature in some situations. Though...I don't really show it that well." Luan said. After Luan said that, her family started to think...but before they could voice their thoughts..the next scene played.

"Mom...Why would you..." I heard Lori say, but I didn't bother looking at her. Why would I? She did this to herself and wasn't the least bit sorry for it. What happened to the Lori that we all used to know? The one who helped us without being on her phone 24/7 or worrying about her precious Bobby Boo Boo Bear. Speaking of which, Bobby's little sister is going to be devastated learning what Lori did. Not to mention Clyde, his parents, Pop Pop and the rest of Lincoln's friends.

"Isn't that a little harsh?" Bobby said. 

"Bobby...You can't be serious right now." Ronnie Anne said.

"What do you...." Bobby started to say before Carol cut him off.

"Lori injuried Lincoln for a petty reason...Can you really blame them for not seeing her in the same light as they did before?" Carol said with almost everyone agreeing with her. Bobby was about to comment when the next scene started to play.

"Lori, you have to suffer the consequences of your own actions. I'm sorry that things had to go this way, but you forced my hand. You're a danger to us and everyone in Royal Woods." Mom said.

"How can you say that?" Lori asked.

"Well, you did injure one of your own siblings...so it stands to reason that there's a high chance of you doing it again. Plus you can always injure others for just looking or talking with Bobby or some other reason." Lisa said. Lori couldn't say anything about that, but slowly started to realize that she needed to change. 

"That's not true." Lori said.

"Is it? You used a sharp object to puncture your brother in the eye just for disagreeing with you over a dress. What if you got in an argument with another person and actually killed them in cold blood. In good conscience, I can't allow their family to suffer like the rest of us are doing thanks to you." Mom said. Lori was about to say something else, but was cut off when the police officer finally placed her hands in handcuffs. 

"I could say the same for some of your other daughters." Carol said.

"What do you mean by that?" Rita asked.

"To be honest, some of your daughters are out of control. And by the look of things..if they don't change then I can picture some of them in prison." Maria said. Rita looked down when she heard that and wondered if that would really come to pass. While the sisters looked at each other in disbelief....They wouldn't really be sent to jail for their actions, right?

"Ma'am. We'll need a statement from your daughters and son soon so we'll contact you later to see what time is good for that." The second officer said. Mom thanked him and watched as Lori was forcefully moved towards the police car. I could see the tears collecting behind her eyes, but she didn't let them fall. 

"Kids. I'm sorry that you had to see that. Your father and I realized that we haven't been raising you to be successful adults. We allowed you to solve your own arguments and look at what happened so from this moment forward...your father and I will become stricter so nothing like this happens again." Mom said. No one voiced any complaints since it was clear that Mom was destroyed mentally. 

"I feel sorry for that version of our mother." Lincoln said. 

"It's hard for a mother to disown her own child which is only made harder by the knowledge that her own child could've killed her own sibling in that moment." Maria commented. 

"We understand Mom." Luna said as we started to head out the door where I spotted Lori being stuffed into the police car and Dad talking to the paramedics.

"Rita. Only one of us could stay with Lincoln." Dad said. Mom decided to let Dad go with Lincoln while taking the rest of us to the hospital. He gave her Lily and hopped in just as I noticed Clyde in the crowd with Ronnie Anne.

"So we're finally getting introduced into the story?" Ronnie Anne said.

"Yeah. Which makes me worry...." Lincoln stated.

"Why?" Maria asked.

"Clyde is madly in love with Lori, so it's safe to assume that his love will stop him from seeing the big picture unless it's thrown into his face." Lincoln said.

"The same can be said for Bobby." Ronnie Anne said. Both boys were sort of offended hearing that, but knew that they were both right. They were madly in love with Lori which could've made them blind to a lot of things. 

"Mom, Can we take Ronnie Anne and Clyde with us?" I asked. Mom nodded and I quickly ran towards them.

"Hey Luan. What's going on?" Clyde asked.

"We'll fill you in on the way to the hospital, but by the end you may never look at Lori the same way again." I said.

"What could Lori possibly do to make me not like her?" Clyde said. I didn't answer and just opened the door so they could get in. I knew that this would be hard for the both of them, but they needed to know what happened.

"Here we go." Ronnie Anne said.

"I'm not that bad...." Clyde said.

"Clyde, you're my best friend, but you keep overlooking Lori's flaws and think that she's perfect. Which includes the "advice" that she told you to never be yourself." Lincoln said.

"You told him what?" Rita said as she glared at her daughter who could awkwardly chuckled while making plans to pay Lincoln back. Only for that plan to get flushed down the drain.

It should be noted that violence is strictly forbidden here. If someone tries to hurt someone else then...the punishment will be extremely unpleasant. 

Lori sighed and turned her attention back to the screen as she almost lost control of her temper again.

"I want you two to listen, Lori has been arrested and disowned." I stated which got Ronnie Anne and Clyde to stare at me with shock on their faces.

"What? Why would you...." Clyde started to say before Ronnie Anne cut him off. I was silently thankful for her to do that since Clyde would just keep interrupting making it more difficult to give answers.

"Clyde, I'm sure that Luan was about to tell us what she did and more importantly where Lincoln is." Ronnie Anne said.

"Thank you Ronnie Anne. Anyway, Lori and Leni were in a middle of a fight and in a surprising move....Lincoln choose a side." I said.

"He choose Leni didn't he?" Ronnie Anne said.

"Yes. How did you know that?" I said.

"Lincoln told me. Don't get us wrong, we aren't dating...but that doesn't mean that we won't hang out and share things that we can't tell our families. He told me that Leni is one of the sisters that he hangs out with the most and despite her ditzy nature...He could never get annoyed or mad at her." Ronnie Anne said.

"He really said that?" Leni said.

"Yes. You are one of the sisters that he can depend on when he needs someone to listen to his troubles. He can say the same for most of you except those who seem to be more interested in themselves and their activities to actually spend time with him." Ronnie Anne said.

"I never knew that he thought that way. I thought that he hated us for what we've been doing to him." I said.

"Does he really tell you everything?" Luan asked.

"Yep. We're friends after all...and it's up to us to see if we want to try our hand at a romantic relationship." Ronnie Anne said.

"Which means...no meddling which could possibly make things worse between us." Lincoln said as he glared at his sisters.

"Why are you glaring at us? We don't make things worse..." Lynn said.

"No offense, but all of you try to forcibly get Lincoln and I together even if that means threatening him to ask me out on dates." Ronnie Anne said.

"But we should be involved in Lincoln's love life." Leni exclaimed.

"Only when I ask you to help me with romantic problems. Besides some of you aren't even in a relationship besides Lori." Lincoln said. The sisters were about to argue back, but shut their mouths....knowing that they can tackle this when a break is available.

"He doesn't. He loves you." Ronnie Anne said.

"Thanks for that, but I still have to tell you what happened next." I said. Ronnie Anne nodded and was eager to learn what happened next. I think that she knew that whatever happened involved Lincoln since they were extremely close to each other.

"Lori grew angry. She started to yell and was trying to get Lincoln to change his mind. It had gotten to the point that....she decided to stab Lincoln in the left eye with an object used for the fireplace." I said. For a couple of moments...Ronnie Anne and Clyde were silent. Moments that made me extremely nervous until all hell broke loose. 

And that's the end of the third chapter...we'll get to the fourth in a while, but for now...take a little break.

The audience nodded and started to do their own things...unaware of the multiple adventures that will be shown to them in the coming future.

Hope you enjoyed the chapter...Bye 👋
