Bab 14: Don't go
It was before Lincoln woke up when the doctor called the Loud parents to discuss about Lincoln's situation letting the Loud daughters to discuss and catch up.
"...I ...I really don't want to do this but legally I'm forced to inform you about the patient's situation for future help and understanding toward recovery of the patient."
The doctor said in a robotic expressionless voice like he just read it out loud from a notebook. It sounded clearly he really didn't wanted to do this but clearly didn't have any option.
The Loud parents were anxious the words of the doctor increase their beating of their hearts in their chests.
In this moment they would finally find out what happened with their only son, what they did to him, what he suffered... but they really want to know? They could handle it? They were his parents they couldn't protect Lincoln the only thing they could do it was to know at least what they did to him, no? However, is that what is the best? Knowing what those monsters that kidnapped him a whole year did to him to end in that state? Can they handle it? Did they even deserve to know after they failed as his parents? Their eyes stare intensely at the man that was trying to build the guts to say the next words he had to say.
Their hands instinctively reach each other holding their hands and interlacing their fingers, Lynn Senior was trembling already trying to stop himself from crying, Rita his wife was holding better but she was biting her bottom lip with all her might it was a miracle she didn't draw blood yet but she didn't had much.
The doctor take a deep breath trying to ease the feeling of heaviness in his chest as best as he could.
"Is,... Lincoln.... *sigh* Look I can't think of any way to sugarcoat this. That boy got through hell."
Both of their breath hitched silently. The doctor didn't wanted to do this, he really didn't, but he had no choice so he better get over with it as fast as he could and Miss and Mister Loud knew this.
"Internal bleeding, broken bones, to one till to 3-degree burns, and many.... many more. But... is possible that they did much more... that they did something even worse..."
The doctor with a heavy heart was listing everything they discovered after the examinations and he didn't even get to the bad parts, oh no, not even close.
"Wh-what can this be even more... they put him in that state... what...?"
Lynn was speechless but Rita was still having some power to sob those words filled with sadness. Every word was like a hot knife was stabbing her heart.
The doctor could only clench his teeth taking another deep breath through his nose forcing himself as best as he could.
"We... we found drugs... in his body... all of them are usually... are usually rape... drugs... When we found him he had a panic attack seeing one of the 𝘧𝘦𝘮𝘢𝘭𝘦 nurses that's why we only send male nurses to take care of him in any case. We don't know when he will wake up, and we also think it would be better if your daughters... "
*thud*
The doctor couldn't say more. How could he when a mother fell to her knees in front of him, her hand covering her trembling lips using all her power to not let a sob. Lynn, her husband, froze completely, his unmoved eyes uncontrollably letting his tears fall on the cold floor of the hospital.
Those monsters, they did 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 to their baby boy. They dared to taint him. They dared to hurt him!
Lynn and Rita never let go of their hands, they snap a bit of their stupor and look at the doctor wanting to say more but they got interrupted. The noise that came from the room where their only son was resting. The parents knew exactly where that noise is coming from... their daughters.
With this though they snap completely from their previous state even if inside they were more than destroyed they have to take care to silence their daughters, they didn't want to be kicked out of the hospital... not that it would be a first.
Both parents with the Doctor walking behind them go toward the room not knowing what would happen next and that their discussion was monitored by a pair of green eyes.
Her little hands hold strongly the tablet almost trembling only to relax just enough to lose her grip and start typing. Her big eyes filled with anger and reflecting on her big glasses was the screen showing some documents all with a big red 'CLASSIFIED' on them.
Back to the present.
....~𝘓𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘰𝘭𝘯...
'No!'
'Pl-please!'
'...stop...'
𝘔𝘪𝘯𝘦....
'Stop'
You...re...
'STOP!'
...𝙈𝙄𝙉𝙀!!
His eyes snap open with a painful shuttering breath, his chest slowly rising and lowering slowly when the boy with white hair stares at then he quickly realized he is in an unknown place.
Each breath he took was painful. His chest and belly hurt every single time when he took a deep breath, he tried to open his mouth. However, he couldn't, he simply couldn't. It was like his body was asleep.
Surprisingly he didn't panic, he was used to his present state. Not able to move his body is not the worst part is usually what came next is that brings fear in his fast-beating heart, he looked at the white ceiling starting to have a slight vertigo moment.
Yet, even in that situation he still didn't succumb to panic
It was normal
Especially after you got drugged.
It was always the same his body was unmoving, but his mind was clear, that's how they prefer it... also 𝙨𝙝𝙚 would also... sometimes she would prefer for him not to move at all.
Every time wh-when he would wake up...
... he would remember... the... touches... the words whispered in his ears. The mocking tone and especially the disgusting feeling he would have every day before the physical pain began. With every cut, with every burn, with every scream...
A lone tear escaped from his eye sliding slowly on the side of his face.
...and now when he was so close! He could remember the scene in front of his eyes, the old metallic sigh, the cold air, but like always he didn't escape. He was brought back to them!... t-to her...
He moved his eyes left and right. He couldn't move his head it was too painful but he could move his eyes so he decided to scan quickly the room he was in.
From what he could see it was not the usual room he woke up in. From the... usual... this room had a window! The boy didn't even remember the last time when he was so happy to see a window. It was apparently still nighttime.
"...t-THAT LITTLE... When I will catch her little spooky ass she will..."
The boy got startled, that voice... it couldn't be... s-she was playing again with me.... mocking me again... of course...
He started to hear stomping of feet outside the door. Maybe she was angry that I didn't had any response... she will punish me again? She will... she will, hur....
"Sigh, the only time when they actually remember me and it had to be this moment"
That monotone voice... his eyes started to get glossy, yet no tears wanted to leave his eyes.
Th-this voice! Is her voice! His little sister's voice!
Before to even think about anything more...
*SLAM*
A powerful slamming was heard on the doorstep was Lynn Junior looking like a mad dog towards him... more precisely at the person that was laying next to him... Lincoln only now realized that someone was next to him.
Lynn started to yell and more sisters entered the room. More voices started to hear each one increasing the happiness on Lincoln's chest. It seems that one of them notice he had woken up and continued their argument.
A normal human would be panicking or at least be irritated by the ruckus that was happening right after they woke up, especially after enduring what Lincoln got through, but for the white-haired boy, it was the most comforting noise he could hear.
Even so, his mind was still clouded, Lincoln didn't know why they are yelling at each other. His head was still dizzy and how much he tried to concentrate his mind he simply couldn't process fully what they were saying.
He tried to say something but he felt like a ball of needles was in his throat. Even moving his muscles to open his mouth was too painful to bear.
But when the weight next to him disappeared he knew they will probably go away.
Go away... and maybe he would never see any of them... he will be alone... or worse... 𝘴𝘩𝘦...
With the remaining of power of his body could muster, and ignoring as best he could the pain he opened his mouth to take some air to speak.
The pain was almost unbearable but he didn't care!
With a weak voice, he called after his mother, after his father, after his sisters. He couldn't see them but he hoped... he, at least hoped they were there and listening to him, not leaving him.
His hand twitched. He tried desperately to lift it but it felt so heavy, so painful but he still wanted to lift his hand to make himself known.
This time even his dizzy head could recognize the screams of all of them who yelled his name, he could hear it. His mother, his father, his sister all of them were finally back. All of them approached him entering his visual perimeter.
They looked a bit different as he remembers but not by much they are still them and he loved every part of them, here with him.
For the first time in what felt like an eternity, his mind was clear, and he was free from that place.
Happy that they finally saw him he closed his eyes losing the fight with the tiredness that he felt since the moment his eyes snap open.
This time Lincoln Loud after one long year finally slept without problems and with his family close to him.
