39 Days AFTER INCIDENT

It's been eight days since the Loud parents put their foot down and the siblings were trying hard to separate Lori and Luan if they were heading towards the same place. But if you thought that everything would be fine...you would be mistaken. Luan still thought that Lori killed Mr. Coconuts on purpose and made sure to let her know it. Each time that she said so...her siblings could see how much they affected Lori. They wanted to comfort her and tell her that everything would be okay..however there is a big difference between saying it and showing it. 

Which leads to this siblings meeting with the added addition of Aaron, Lori's friend. He was worried about her and wanted to figure out what happened to her. So with the assurance of her other friends excluding Carol (they know what happened and don't want anything to do with her or Bobby)...he went to the house only to be dragged into the basement.

"Why did you all drag me here?" Aaron asked.

"So Lori and Luan won't hear what we're about to tell you. I'm sure that you've seen it...how Lori changed." Lincoln said.

"Of course I did. Hell...the whole school knows however...most people are assuming that she was taking the breakup between her and Bobby extremely hard." Aaron said.

"I think that's only part of the problem. Anyway...the biggest issue is the beef between her and Luan." Luna said.

"Beef?" Aaron said.

"A couple of weeks ago...Luan and Lori got into an argument about whether or not she broke Mr. Coconuts on purpose. We all know that she didn't mean to, but Luan has it in her head that Lori did it on purpose." Lynn said.

"What's that supposed to do with anything? Couldn't they just make up?" Aaron said.

"I wish that it could be so simple. One time..Leni and Lori fought over a dress and it took a couple days for them to make up." Lincoln said.

"Like Lincoln said...it won't be that simple. Because at the end of the argument...Luan told Lori that she hated her and wished that she was dead." Leni said.

"That's terrible." Aaron said.

"We know. We knew that Luan loved Mr. Coconuts, but we didn't think that she would go crazy over his death." Lisa said.

"It got so bad that Mom and Dad actually placed Lori back into the garage and barred Luan from going near it." Lana said.

"Can't you guys talk to Luan about this?" Aaron said.

"Sigh...Luan's too stubborn about this and is acting crazy. Well crazier than usual." Lucy said.

"We could talk to Lori, but that will only be a temporarily fix for what's going on. So we were hoping that you guys can help us keep Lori from doing something that she'll regret." Lincoln said.

"You don't even have to ask. We'll help." Aaron said making the siblings smile meanwhile...Lori was in the garage. She was staring at herself in the mirror and wished that this was all a bad dream and that her sister didn't hate her. However..she knew that this was reality. A terrible reality that seemed to enjoy making her suffer.

"Sigh...I don't know how long I can keep doing this." Lori said to herself. Luan's fights and comments against her have started to affect her. Her thoughts were filled with the images of her family..a family that would be better off without her in it. Shaking her head..she tried to get rid of that thought. Her siblings cared about her along with her friends and parents. They would all be devastated if anything were to happen to her. Except Luan. 

The sister that she was close with. 

The one who she made a vow to always protect.

The one who hated her.

Hate. The word made her heart ping. It was a nasty word and only served as a nasty reminder of what her sister yelled at her when she accidentally broke Mr. Coconuts. Along with her wishing that she was dead. Lori could feel the tears coming back before she wiped them away...she had to get ready for work. Sighing..she slowly undressed and placed on her uniform and wished that that everything would go back to normal in the coming weeks.

Unaware that her sister would soon be faced with a difficult decision that would make or break her further.
