After the long cold night lincoln woke up and wiped the dried tears from his eyes, shortly after he grabbed his cell phone and sent a text to brent,

"Do u mind if I come over today in about 1 hr?" Lincoln sent mentally pleading for the older boy to say yes wishing for a way out of the house, he barely had to wait as a reply came in on his phone

"of course, come by now I'll make us a nice breakfast :)" appeared on the screen, lincoln quickly sent his thanks and he got dressed, looking at the clock he saw it read 7:12 given the fact that sister fight protocol was in place only his parents would up now. As lincoln walked down the stairs rubbing the area lori slapped him last night feeling a bruise coming in, before he could think much of it he noticed his parents sitting on the couch sipping coffee.

"morning mom and dad" Lincoln said making his way down the stairs.

"Hi honey why are you up so early?" Rita loud asked as she and her husband faced their only son.

"I was actually going to ask you both something, can I go to my friends house again today? I'd rather not be here with the whole sister fight protocol going on and I already asked him and he said it was fine for me to head over now" lincoln asked his parents.

"well kiddo if it's alright with your friend and mother it's perfectly alright with me" Lynn senior said wishing he could do the same.

"which friend is it" rita asked, mostly as a force of habit being the mother of ten daughters, one of which is in a relationship.

"it's Brent" Lincoln said, before the school year ended brent met with lincoln's parents and the two agreed not to mention to anyone how they originally met, they instead told the louds brent and lincoln met when he returned to the elementary school to volunteer and the two hit it off and became close friends, the loud parents after meeting brent liked the young man and the influence he could be on their son and encouraged the two to hang out.

"brent of course you can go do you need a ride?" rita asked her only son her mood brightening at the mention of the young man she believed to be an angel sent from heaven to guide her son.

"no it's fine, I don't want to trouble you guys, especially while sister fought protocol is in effect" lincoln said making sure he had his phone and keys on him before he left,

"if you're sure, call us if you need anything" lynn senior said as his son left the house.

"I will goodbye" lincoln said shutting the door behind him and walking away from the house filled with ten sleeping girls.

As he walked the mile to get to brent's house lincoln noticed the quiet in the air as the sun was still rising, the air was fresh, crisp, and cool before the heat of the summer sun set in and heated the air, getting rid of the crispness and freshness in the air. Lincoln enjoyed smelling the roses as he spent the walk in silence, before he knew it however lincoln arrived at brent's house, he breathed once before knocking on the polished wooden door, and not even a second passed before brent opened the door revealing him to be in his blue and brown cooking apron smiling as he let the young loud boy in his home,

"make yourself at home link, i'm almost done with breakfast, speaking of which what would you like to drink?" the older boy asked as he shut the door behind Lincoln and made his way back to the kitchen.

"could I have ome orange juice please?"Lincoln asked as he sat down at the dining room table, he knew when brent said almost done he meant almost done.

"of course link, just let me put the pans in the sink and we can eat" brent's voice sounded from the kitchen, moments later he emerged carrying several plates from the kitchen onto the table lincoln sat at, the dishes included bacon, sausage, toast, fried eggs, scrambled eggs, omelettes, and pancakes. After placing these foods on the table he took his apron off revealing him to be wearing sweat shorts and an undershirt.
