Letting Out

A/N: Hey guys! So yes I still have 9 views on overall part 1 & 2, so please give me more attention. And I'm sorry if it's too long to get to the SU part. But enjoy anyways!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When day turned to night, I left my room for dinner. I still couldn't think clearly because of Ronnie Anne since we arrived at home, and the next thing I knew Lynn flashed towards the dining room with her rollerblades, saying "Sorry, Lincoln!", making me fell down in surprise.

I didn't say anything to her, until Lisa showed up. "Are you ok, Lincoln? That fall could increase the risk of injury by 93%."

I didn't care about stuff she said, so I simply answered, "I'm fine." Then I walked to the dining room, at the kids' table.

You know apart from any other Louds, the ones at the kids' table always making chaos. "Hey Lincoln, heads up!" Lana said, throwing chewed food on my face. "Poopoo!" Lily splashed her milk onto my face. I didn't react.

Seeing my abnormal being, Lana asked, "Linc, you're okay?"

"I think he daydreams about Ronnie Anne again" Lucy said.

"Lincoln, snap out of it! We're having fun right now. I feel like losing a member." Lola spoke.

"Yes, I'm fine!" I said.

"He said the same thing when I asked his current condition 120 seconds ago." Lisa said. "And his utterance is no other than "I'm fine". Which is if I conclude, he is not fine."

I was getting sick hearing her, so I stood up and said, "Ya know what? I'll pass the dinner."

I sat on the couch while everybody else enjoyed their dinner, whether making chaos or just a civilized talk.

Lola was right--I needed to snap out of it, not thinking of Ronnie Anne for a while. So I turned on the TV, but every time I switched to another channel, it reminded me of her, over and over again, as if a mosquito tried to take my blood.

I washed my face, but that trick only worked when you were sobbing.

I tried to read comics, but every page I turned reminded me of her.

I tried to play video games, but every move I took reminded me of her.

Sadness was coming into my eyes. I tried to hold it back, but it failed. Instead I remembered every single time we hugged.

Then my mom shouted, "Are you okay, Lincoln? You didn't finish your food."

"I'm fine, mom." I said.

"Lincoln, do you have a stomach ache?" Lynn asked.

Before I could answer, Luna spoke, "No, he's just sad."

"I see why he has such kind of feeling. He couldn't control his emotions, caused by his brain that is overcrowded with one certain thought. And this thought leads to sadness." Lisa said.

"English, Lisa." Lola said.

"It means that Lincoln can't move on from his girlfriend." Lisa said.

I finally snapped out of it. "NO I'M NOT! Ronnie Anne is NOT my girlfriend!" 

"Stop hiding it, Lincoln. You and her have hugged many times. I'm okay when Bobby said to me "You're the best girlfriend". Lori said.

"You don't understand. I'm just ten. I--"

"You shouldn't be sad. You can just text her and give her a joke. Then she'll laugh." Luan said.

"No, you--"

"Maybe you should Skype her." Lola said.

"Or maybe visit her house. Man I love her pets." Lana said.

"Or maybe you should kiss her." Leni said.

That last idea finally made me burst into tears. I cried. I tried to get in my room, but I just sat there, at the end of the stairs.

I know maybe you judge me as an "exaggerated" boy, but here let me tell you that everytime I met Ronnie Anne,  I had this relaxing feeling. And I was addicted to that feeling, just like people addicted to drugs. So yeah, at that time, I had issues.

They came upstairs. "It's okay there, Linc." Lynn patted my back. Lana handed me a tissue. "Chill down, bro. I know you have a hard time." Luna said.

"Lincoln, listen." Lori said to me. "We're your sisters. We're not gonna let you being sad. Just let us make you happy. Like doing stuff you like or something."

"Thanks, guys. But it's getting late. Can you do that tomorrow?" Lincoln said.

"Well, just like they say, the clever ones like to-morrow book at library! Get it?" Luan laughed.

"Goodnight, Lincoln." My sisters said.

"Goodnight guys." I said.

I lied down on my bed. But then Luna came in. "Sorry, bro. I don't want you to be sad, so I brought my radio here. You know just to make you rollin' a little."

"That's great, Luna. Goodnight." I said. See, this is one of the advantages of having 10 sisters--you always have someone on your back.

I turned the radio on, but the "Best of Metallicas" hour didn't help me sleep at all, so I switched to the other station, but it got worse. It played "Closer" by The Chainsmokers. No, wrong timing, I thought.

But I had no other choice. I felt heavy, and then Despacito played as I closed my eyes. Man, that popular Spanish song.

Then I remembered who else was also part Spanish. Ronnie Anne.
