The Secret

Silence is Golden Pt.2

Lincoln's day was... about as normal as you would expect with being an only boy to a house full of girls. Lincoln woke up to realize it was Saturday, He got up and looked outside his door to see that there was already a long line, however since they weren't in a rush, Lincoln decided to hold it in and see what everyone else was up to. He walked down the stairs and ducked as a tennis ball flew over his head.

"Sorry about that Linc! Just practicing!" Lynn told him

Lincoln just smiled, "it's cool, I didn't get hit," He told her

He walked to see lily in her booster seat and she was being fed by lucy, he looked over to see Luan eating some eggs, He did notice that she looked a little down, Lincoln made himself a bowl of Cereal and sat next to her.

"Hey Luan, you ok?" Lincoln asked

Luan looked to her brother, "Hey Linc, yeah I'm fine it's... It's just that Luna still mad at me" Luan told him

Lincoln nodded, "It's understandable, I mean you did hurt her feelings, and even after she got rejected," Lincoln said

"I know..." Luan replied, "I'm trying to show her that I'm sorry, but she just won't budge" Luan finished

"Just give her some time, Luna will forgive you later on," Lincoln told her

Luan nodded and smiled, "thanks Linc," Luan said and she went back to eating, Lincoln smiled and continued to eat as well.

Lincoln finished his food and washed his bowl. He then headed upstairs to read his comic book and see if Clyde wanted to hang out later. As soon as he got upstairs he heard music being played, he smiled and went to Luan and Luna's room, Inside he saw Luna playing her guitar softly, She also began to sing,

"You don't know what hell you put me through, to have someone kiss the skin that crawls from you... To feel the weight in arms I'd never use... It's the God that heroin prays to..."

Lincoln felt something come over him, The song was somewhat hypnotic, it made him think, The song was about love, there was no doubt, but it felt like it was about something else... it was the feeling of wanting something... or Someone. He listened to the rest of the song,

"It feels good, girl, it feels good!" She said in a loud but hushed voice "It feels good, girl, it feels good! it feels good, girl, it feels good... Oh to be alone with you..."

Lincoln walked in and smiled, "that was a good song Luna," Lincoln said

Luna Squeeled and turned to her brother, "You scared me, bro!" Luna said

"Sorry" Lincoln replied "I heard you singing and I couldn't help it"

Luna sighed with a smile, "it's cool dude, Just warn me next time" Luna said

"Sure thing" Lincoln replied, "by the way, what was that song called?"

"To Be Alone by Hoizer" Luna replied

"Oh, It's kinda sad" Lincoln replied

"Yeah, it is, but it helps me not feel so blue" Luna replied

Lincoln nodded, "That's fine, I read or watch TV to help me not feel sad," Lincoln said

Luna Smiled, "everyone needs a way to vent, this is mine"

"Yeah" Lincoln replied, "Luna are you ok?"

Luna looked at him. The only thing she could see in his face was full of concern, Concern for her and her only. She had never seen anyone look at her like that.

Luna shook her head to get out of her trance and just looked to him, "I'm fine dude, just... it's gonna be a while before I can get over this" Luna replied

Lincoln nodded, "well like I said if you need to talk I'm just down the hall," He said with a smile before leaving. Luna waved her brother goodbye and saw him enter his room.

Luna turned and sat in her bean-bag chair and she then looked up to the ceiling.

{he's just trying to be nice... he doesn't care about you}

Luna shook her head, "No, that's not true, Lincoln cares about me, He cares about all of us"

{Really? Remember, you're a loser, no one will ever care or love you!}

"Shut up" Luna mumbled

{You know it's true, as soon as a hot girl comes into his life he won't have time for anyone else, especially you}

"That's. Not. True." Luna said

{Look deep inside yourself, you know it's true! No one will ever love you!}

"I SAID SHUT UP!" Luna cried

She snapped out of her anger and saw that she was holding onto her guitar so hard that her palms began to bleed a little...

"Why Can't I be loved...?" Luna asked herself "Why can't someone like Lincoln be in my life?"

Lincoln was like the perfect boyfriend, He was kind, he cared about others, he knew how to cheer people up, he was everything a girl could want. Luna would do anything to have a boy like him... like him...

No there was no one like Lincoln, Lincoln was one of a kind. There was no one like him... Luna knew that...

But what if she could have him? What if she could be with him?

"No, No, No, He's my brother... that's... it's wrong..." Luna told herself

But she knew deep down... those words betrayed her...
