Chapter Five
Do you guys want Lily to go with Lori, Lincoln and Luan or have her be looked after by another family?
As Lori visited Luan, Carol Pringrey took out her cellphone and started to call the authorities. She knew what she did could possibly destroy her friendship with Lori...however she couldn't let the rest of them sans Lincoln and Lily go unpunished. When she was finished she noted that Lori was leaving probably to go back home and spend time with her siblings. Carol hoped that she didn't make the wrong decision, but...you know the saying if you did the crime you do the time.
A couple of hours later....
BANG
BANG
"Who's at the door?" Rita asked.
"I'll see who it is." Lori said since this would be a distraction from her family troubles. When she opened the door...she was right in front of a couple of police officers who arrived with a huge police van.
"Hello. Can we talk to your parents please?" The first Officer Said.
"Of course. Mom! Dad! Some police officers are here to see you." Lori yelled with some hinted anger when she called Rita and Lynn Sr., her parents which the police picked up on. They didn't need to wait long before two adults rushed over and started to talk to them.
"Hello. Can we help you?" Rita asked nervously.
"We've received a phone call that states that you left your fourteen year old daughter after witnessing that she got hit by a car." The second Officer said which made both parents sweet a bit before they tried to play off the situation.
"Listen officers...Luan always goes prank crazy on April 1st, and we all decided to prank her back after her latest prank. How were we supposed to know that she really got hit by a car?" Lynn Sr. Said. Lori scoffed at the statement which also didn't go unnoticed by the police officers.
"Young lady...What's your take on the situation?" The first Officer asked.
"Well...not everyone wanted to go along with the plan. My brother and I had doubts about the entire situation, but...the others except for Lily still went through with it. And after seeing that she got hit by a car...we both immediately went to her aid and waited for her to wake up." Lori Said.
"That's where you both went?" Rita asked.
"Yes. That's where Lincoln and I went." Lori said.
"What about the rest of your family...Did they show up?" The second Officer asked.
"Yes..We did." Lynn Sr. Said.
"Actually...they didn't show. Instead...they went to party it up while Lincoln and I checked on Luan. And out of all of you...I know that Lily couldn't be help responsible since she hardly got a say into the plan." Lori Said.
"How old are you young lady?" The first Officer Said.
"I'm eighteen years old." Lori said.
"And can you look over your brother and sister while we take the rest of the family except for your fourteen year old sister?" The second officer said.
"Yes." Lori Said.
"Come on guys...we know what to do." The first Officer Said as every officer entered the home and handcuffed everyone except for Lori, Lincoln and Lily and led them to the van. As it started to drive away..Lori just shook her head and closed the door. It was a bittersweet moment since her family with a few exceptions were taken to jail and she was able to put her plan into action. But at the same time...she knew that she had to take care of three of her siblings for the next couple of weeks.
"Lori...Will everything be okay?" Lincoln asked. Lori looked at her brother and said something that will set the stage for the next chapter of her life.
"I hope so Lincoln. Now come on...let's go get some pizza." Lori said as she took Vanzilla's keys and lead her siblings to the van. Meanwhile Luan was watching TV...when Carol walked into her room.
"How are you feeling Luan?" Carol asked.
"Terrible. None of my family except for Lori and Lincoln bothered to visit me. I know Lily couldn't exactly go by herself, but the others could've made an effort to see me." Luan said.
"It'll be okay Luan. I've heard that Lori's planning to take you somewhere far away so you can get a fresh start." Carol Said.
"Sigh..I know that. I just hope that I don't embarrass myself and make myself a laughing stock again." Luan said.
"Make yourself a laughing stock?" Carol repeated.
"Don't tell Lori this, but I was bullied when I was younger. Mainly because I was severely shy and would often shutter whenever I'm not close to my family. And I thought that I could win people over by telling jokes and pretending to be happy all the time outside of the house." Luan said.
"Did it change anything?" Carol asked.
"No. Instead it caused me to start doing dangerous pranks. I know that it was wrong, but seeing how everyone started to treat me like a normal person...I kept doing it. Only now...I drove my family except for Lori, Lincoln and Lily to stop caring about me. Even Luna stopped and she was one of the closest sisters that I had." Luan said before she started to cry. As she did so...Carol started to hug her. As the two continued...they had no idea that this could be the first step into helping Luan start a new chapter of her life.
