(OLD) Purity - The Loud House

Chapter Two - Lynn's Attempt

Lynn stood in front of Luna's door, taking deep breaths knowing how hard this would be. Yesterday Lori attempted to help Luna, but it didn't go so well, and everyone decided to skip Leni, so now it was Lynn's turn.

She hesitantly opened up the door and stepped inside the room, which was a complete mess. Curtains were over the window, Luna's bed was a complete mess, and her guitar was in the middle of the floor, broken in half with many tiny pieces scattered on the floor around it.

She saw Luna lying on her bed, crying silently to herself once again, making Lynn sigh quietly. "Luna?" She asked, making Luna quickly stop crying and look at her.

"Lynn? What are you doing here?"

She sighed again and sat down next to her on the bed, making Luna jerk up. "You aren't the only one that misses Luan, you know," she said, looking Luna straight in the eyes. "We all miss her."

"You have a weird way of showing it," Luna scoffed, crossing her arms and looking away from Lynn. "Why are you even telling me this?"

"Because we miss you, Luna, the real you, and this isn't like you!"

Luna continued avoiding eye contact with Lynn, hoping she'd get bored and leave. She just looked down at her broken guitar lying on the ground, which made her more upset because that guitar was the only thing she had to cope with her depression.

"Luna, why is your guitar broken? Did you break it?" Lynn asked, also looking at the guitar.

"That is none of your business, Lynn," Luna responded in an annoyed and angry voice. She didn't want to talk anymore, she didn't want to talk to anyone to begin with.

"Tell me, Luna, please, we want to help you."

"You can help me by leaving."

Lynn was started to get angry at Luna, and she really wanted to stomp out of the room and slam the door, never to see Luna again.

But she didn't.

"Did you realize how quiet it got here since Luan's been gone?" Lynn asked, although Luna didn't budge. "Her death changed us all, Luna, not just you."

"You don't even mention her," Luna said, her body starting to shake. She made a small smile and looked at Lynn sadly. "How can you even say that when you don't even act like it for a second?"

"I - We - Luna you don't understand," Lynn stammered, unable to think of what to say.

"What do I not understand, Lynn?"

Lynn kept on thinking, and she knew she wouldn't be the one to calm Luna down for a fact, even after the family meeting they had earlier that day.

"I - Never mind," Lynn said, sighing in defeat as she hopped off Luna's bed and headed back into her bedroom.

Once Lynn left, Luna sighed in relief, finally happy she was alone again.

She just stared down at her guitar, still unable to believe she smashed it. Her only hope for happiness was gone in that instant, her only way of dealing with this never ending pit of sorrow was in pieces right in front of her own eyes.

She guesses it was her anger and rage escaping her body all at once, and she just acted without thinking, and now she had to suffer even more because of her foolish decision.

"Remember the time when I first played my guitar, Luan?" She asked, lying down on her bed and facing the ceiling. "Remember when you told your first joke and caused everyone to laugh?"

Luna closed her eyes and took a few deep breaths, remembering other memories she had of Luan. "What about the time when you were being bullied and I stood up to you?" Her voice started to break with sadness and her body started shaking.

"That time where I played my guitar and you told jokes at the same time?" She felt tears form in her eyes again, but she didn't wipe them off.

"How about on April Fool's Day when you would prank all of us? We didn't hide from you or cower in fear when you walked by us this year because we had nothing to hide from or be afraid of."

Tears were slowly running down her face, but she sat up and wiped them off.

She's cried so much in the past year that she's grown to dislike the feeling of her tears when they come down her face. The way they make her eyes burn and her cheeks wet made her feel uncomfortable, and she wanted to get rid of them whenever they appeared.

She sighed heavily as she straightened up her bed and lied down, clicking the light off next to her. She fell asleep quicker than normal that night, and she dreamed about Luan, although the dream was more of a nightmare.

She dreamed that Luan went crazy due to being abandoned by her family, and went crazy by killing all of them one by one.

It was a crazy dream, but Luna knew Luan would never do something like that.

It was just a dream, after all.

(A/N) Did you get that reference with Luna's dream? Don't worry, it won't affect the plot much, just a little something I thought I'd add. xD
