Consequences

Dream

Narrator POV:

As Luan sat alone in the motel room while the others ate at dinner, Lincoln Loud was still in a coma. He was unaware of the events taking place in the real world and could do nothing, but dream about the events that happened to him.

Lincoln POV:

Time. Time is something that I've taken for granted and now it's taunting me by sending me an everlasting dream. All I want is for this dream to stop and let me wake up to see my friends and family again. But..something is stopping me from waking up. Sighing..I get out of bed and walk down the stairs. 

My family was down there and were watching dream boat..all except Luan. Luan. She must have done something to cause me to make me dream constantly. But..what? My memory of the event is hazy and even if I did know...Would I allow myself to forgive her for what she's done?

Eventually I started to head towards the kitchen before the ceiling caved in with all of my stuff along with Lisa's and Lily's. Looking back..I noticed that my family hasn't moved. Almost like they didn't hear anything. But looking at the kitchen..In the middle is Luan who seems to be crying as a fire starts. 

When this first started, I tried to save her from the fire..but it was pointless. Luan wouldn't move and just let the fire consume her. As I watched the scene unfold..I felt like crying. I've been having this dream for too long and..I just want to go back to my family. Is that too much to ask? A boy who wants to go back to the real world where he could be reunited with his family again.

As I blink my eyes, I was back where I started. As I slowly repeat what I did..I kept asking myself..When will this end? 

Rita POV:

As we were eating dinner, my mind went back to Lincoln and Luan. Lincoln's still in a coma while Luan is suffering through the consequences of her own actions. Unfortunately..I felt like I had a hand in this for not stopping my daughter sooner, but what's done is done. 

There is no turning back. We can't prevent Lincoln from getting injured by Luan's Gun prank or stop Luan from attempting it from the first place. The only thing that we can do is try to move past this as a family. A family who has to live in a motel for a couple of months until our house is getting rebuilt. 

Sighing...I kept eating my food unaware of the thoughts that are swirling around in Luan's head. And..I was unaware of the consequences of stopping the girls from hating their own sister.
