a brothers return

chapter 5

11:00am

All 10 of the Loud sisters and parents are now currently in the living room after they have eaten breakfast, the family are sitting on the couch watching tv with some of the sisters on the floor reading a book (Lucy and Lisa), but the Loud parents and the 5 oldest sisters are talking about Lincoln and what they should do so he can have a room to sleep in and some changes that could happen. Almost all the Loud members are in the living room doing something but 1 Loud member. Lincoln is still in the kitchen and as everyone was leaving the kitchen, he is still sitting at the table with a plate of food and it has been 3 hours since breakfast was eaten and this is something that some of the Loud members does notice.

"Is he just going to be sitting there?" Luna who is now holding Lily asked more to herself but it did get the attention of the rest of the Loud family. "What was that Luna?" The Loud father asked his music loving daughter. "Lincoln is sitting in the kitchen by himself, why?" Luna said before Lucy chimes in with "During breakfast Lincoln was just sitting there. Not talking to anyone, not eating his food, not doing anything other than looking around at us." "Hold up, didn't he literally do the same thing yesterday at dinner?" Lori asked and Lisa responded. "That is very correct eldest sibling, from observing our male sibling, not only can I confirm that he was not consuming his dinner but also I believe that he was watching all of our person as we talked."

"So he was watching us?" Lynn asked, confused. "I believe so." "And what makes you so sure that he was watching us?" Lola asked after Lisa's response to Lynn. "As I observed him yesterday and at breakfast, I noticed every time someone would talk he would turn his head or most times shift his eyes towards the one who is talking and give his attention and watching. Since almost everyone was discussing something with one another, it was a rather problematic task to see who he was looking at and our male sibling did not make things easier for me. He seemed to be very quick at shifting his attention away from something and turning it to another. For the most part he wouldn't just stare at the person who he was looking at, he was discreet when he was doing it. I believe our male sibling would look at the speaker quickly to see who spoke before turning back to seemingly looking at the floor but reality he would listen while taking small glands at the person."

"Why do you think he does this?" The Loud father asked and he along with the rest of the family was a little surprised at Lisa' responses. "I'm not quite sure why he is watching us but how quick he is with actions even to the point where I couldn't or can't tell something makes me think that this is not his first doing this." Everyone is now silent after what Lisa said. The family would go from silent to watching tv and talking about what they are going to do later on. 5 minutes goes by and when the show ends and the Loud sisters goes upstairs to do there own thing and the Louds parents stays in the living room for a while and Rita and Lynn Sr notice that Lincoln is still not the living room with them so Rita looks at Lynn Sr, they node to each other and than the 2 got up off the couch and start walking to the kitchen.

When the parents reach the kitchen, they see Lincoln sitting at the table and on the table is an empty plate of food. Lincoln turns his head giving his attention to the parents, looks at them and he gets up off the chair and completely face his mom and dad. "Hey Lincoln did you enjoy breakfast?" Lynn Sr asked with some pep in his voice but got no answer out of his only son. "You had a good sleep Lincoln? Sorry you had to sleep on the couch but we are going to think of something hopefully soon so you don't have to keep on sleeping on the couch." Just like with Lynn Sr, Rita also got no response from the solo brother.

"So son um you know you don't have to be in the kitchen anymore right? You could go in the living room where your sisters were just in. Speaking of your sisters, I know it's been years since you have seen your big sisters." Lynn Sr said before Rita steps in and says "Also when you were here, you really didn't get a chance to know or spend too much time with Lucy as she started to grow up, so this is a great time for you to reconnect with your big sisters and Lucy. Not just with them, you can also get to know about your little sisters. Maybe help them out with little things and try to have a nice relationship with them." The Loud mother states with excitement in her voice and Lynn Sr nodding his head agreeing with her but they do notice that Lincoln is still not responding or even showing any sign of emotion, he just looks at them with a blank expression across his face. Before anything more could be said, Lincoln walks past his parents and out of the kitchen into the living room where he sits on the couch.
