Bobby

I was laying on my bed staring at the ceiling thinking about what happened today. Lori, the supposed woman of my dreams nearly killed her brother in a fit of rage. Everything that I knew about her turned out to be a lie and....I nearly wanted to defend her for what happened. That's when I started to think of the conversation that I had with Carol when I first say Lincoln. 

"Bobby. You need to make a choice. Will you continue to live your life through rose covered glasses and support Lori or will you see what she really is and gain friends who will always have your back no matter what starting with me?" Carol said. I knew that there was one choice for me to make and I decided to.....break up with Lori.

"You're right. I can't keep my relationship with Lori if it meant more pain and suffering for others. How could I miss the signs that she wasn't the person that I thought." I stated.

"Love is funny like that sometimes, but that shouldn't cloud you from the people who truly care and love you." Carol said. I hugged Carol after that since she was right. My family was the most important thing in my life and I can use this to start over and get my life straight. While hoping that my next girlfriend won't be like Lori and hide things from me. 

Knock Knock

I was cut off from that thought when my sister came into my room. 

"Nie Nie? What are you doing here?" I asked.

"I came here to see how you were feeling after...you know." Nie Nie said.

"I'm fine. I just need to think about how I'm going to break up with Lori." I stated which shocked my sister.

"You're really going to do that?" She asked.

"Yeah. I let my love for her cloud my judgement, but seeing what she did made me realize that fact. Besides this could be an opportunity to gain more friends and hang out with you again. While trying to find someone who will never be like her." I said.

"I guess that makes sense and who knows...you may end up dating Carol." She said.

"What? We just became friends today. Why would we...." I asked.

"I didn't say that you'll date her immediately. You still have some growing to do besides you have to help break the news to the rest of our familia back at Great Lakes City." Nie Nie said. I knew that it had to come up eventually since I told my familia all about my relationship with Lori. They were excited to meet her when we would go to visit next month, but now I have to tell them what happened.

"I hope they won't be too disappointed about it..." I muttered.

"Bobby, they'll understand. Besides you'll find love again...some day." Nie Nie said before she hugged me before heading out of my room. It was a short attempt to make me feel better, but I appreciated it. Lori may be out of my life soon, but I still have family and friends who will stick by me no matter what.

Leni

I was in my room staring at my sister's...sorry, my former sister's bed. I hated her. Long before this event happened...since she used my own naive nature against me. I often wondered what she had against our brother. When he first met Ronnie Anne, I knew that she was bullying him...but Lori convinced me that it meant that she liked him. 

Why did I let her manipulate me so much? I hated that I was so naive to think let Lori get inside my head. But that's going to change....I have to upgrade my brain so nothing like this will happen again. Slowly, I walked out of my room and headed to Lisa. She had something that could increase my brain power, but I turned it down. However, that's about to change. I will get smarter and help my brother more. I need to be his new role model and show him that not everyone is out to make his life miserable. 

No matter what.

Lola

I was on my bed staring at the wall. I know that you think that I would just get past this and just do my own things, but I couldn't. Lincoln is my big brother who always put up with me despite my flaws. That's right...I said flaws. I'm not perfect...I see that now and it's time for me to accept that fact. 

"Lana." I said. I could tell that she looked at me because I could feel her burning gaze on the back of my head.

"What is it Lola?" Lana asked.

"Do you think that I'll become someone like Lori when I grow up?" I asked her.

"No. There's no way that you'll become like her...." she started, but I cut her off.

"But I used Lincoln and beat up people without remorse." I said quietly.

"Yeah. You did, but you can always change yourself for the better. Lori had her change, but she wasted it...but you still have a shot to make things right." Lana said.

"R..Really." I said.

"Yeah. I'll help you...if you'll let me." Lana said.

"Thanks. I just hope that I'll become a better person that Lori ever well." I said before I felt Lana hug me.

"I know you well and you'll have all of us behind your back no matter what." Lana said. When she said that, I was filled with hope for the future. I will become a better sister to my siblings and a better person. It may take time, but there is nothing that I can't do. 

Cause I am Lola Loud and proud.

Hope you enjoyed the chapter...Bye 👋
