53. chapter 50

here is another chapter, tbh it may be my longest chapter yet I believe, but anyway let not waste any time and get started.

Lincoln was stared at his ceiling as he wasn't able to sleep, his mind was stuck on his question he asked Nikki "that for me to decide..." He mumbled softly, he reached over and grabbed his phone to look at the time, see it was 7 in the morning.

Lincoln sat up and stretched before he gotten out of bed, going to his closet to get a change of clothes before he gotten dressed and left his room, quietly leaving through the kitchen, closing the door behind him.

The girls had started to wake up and started to rush to the bathroom, pushing and shoving each other, and this went on for 6 minutes along with a lot of complaining and door banging but soon everyone was finish and went downstairs to eat breakfast "someone go wake lincoln" Lori called out as she started to take out some food to cook.

The twins had decided to go get lincoln as they had knocked on his door before opening it "lincoln, wake up" Lana said but the two noticed that he wasn't in his bed, they looked down the hallway at the bathroom but saw the door was open and the light's was off so he couldn't of had been there "where Lincoln?" Lana asked making her twin shrugged, the two had went back downstairs to tell Lori he wasn't in his room or the bathroom, making her confuse.

"Are you sure" Lori asked making them nod, Lori walked in front of the stairs "lincoln!" She called out and waiting but he didn't reply back.

"Everyone look for lincoln because he is not in the house!" Lori called out, making everyone go to her.

"What? Lincoln not here" Luna asked making Lori nod.

"Yeah he not here" lori said getting a bit annoyed from repeating herself.

"I can sense him, he is close but I can't tell where" Lucy said making Lisa roll her eyes.

"Anyway, we need to find him before anything happens to him" lori said and the others had nodded, they was about to figure out where to look but was interrupted by a loud bang on the door.

Luna walked to the door and opened it, showing Mr.grouse "louds!" He yelled like normal.

"Yes Mr.grouse what can we do for you" Luna asked their neighbors.

"You can turn down all the dang ruckus in your shed!" Mr.grouse said making the girl confused.

"Umm okay, we will keep it down" Luna said and quickly closed the door, looking at her sister.

"Come on let's go" Lana said as her and her sister's had quickly went to throughout the kitchen door, going to their shed where they could hear music blasting, making them confused and a bit nervous.

"Girls get back" Lynn said to no one in particular but the twins, Lisa, Lucy, and Lily knew she was talking to them.

Lori had went to the garage double doors and slowly opened it while the girl had gotten ready for whoever it might be.

As the doors opened wider and the music gotten louder, the girls had looked inside and gasp, lincoln had his back towards them as he was just in some shorts while he was punching Lynn's punching bag along with the beat of the music and was drenched with sweat as there was a pool of it forming under him.

"Lincoln!" Luan called out to him but he didn't hear her as he kept punching the bag, punching it harder as the music gotten more intense, the girls watched with wide eyes as lincoln had pulled his fist back before punching the bag hard enough that it had almost fell from the ceiling.

The music had slowly stopped and lincoln had lead his head against the punching bag, gasping for air before he had dropped to a knee, feeling a bit light headed "lincoln!" The girl's called out as they had rushed to him.

Lincoln had looked at them shocked "w-what are you all doing here" lincoln panted, still trying to get some air.

"US!? What do you think you are doing, how long have you been out here" Lynn asked making lincoln shrugged.

"I don't know... Maybe until 7" lincoln said making lori pull out her phone to see the time.

"Lincoln it is 8:45!" Lori told him making his eyes widen a bit before he chuckled while he tried to push himself onto his feet but stumbled and drop back onto one of his knees, as his legs felt a bit weak.

"Lincoln did you even stretch first" Lynn asked making him nod a bit.

"Guys as much as I would like to keep talking, my arms hurt, and I'm sweaty so would ya mind if I could go take a bath" lincoln asked them as they wanted to keep talking, but they knew he had a point plus because they all knew that being sweaty felt gross.

Lori sighed quietly "go take a bath then come to my and leni room because we are not done talking" she said making him nod.

"Alright... Lynn could you help" lincoln ask making her grab a near by towel and wipe his arm before she had help him up, the two had left and walked to lincoln room, while lynn was telling him what to expect because his body wasn't used to being pushed.

After a stressful bath and explaining why he did what he did, lincoln was now in the kitchen eating breakfast with everyone else "so luna are you ready for tonight" lori asked making everyone look at Luna.

"You know it" luna smiled making the rest of her family smile as well.

"Make sure you listen out of us because we will be the loudest one cheering for you" lana said making luna chuckle quietly.

"So lincoln what about you, who will you be cheering for" luan asked making everyone slightly confused "did you forget tabby is going to be up there as well" she said making the girls eyes widened as they did forget, a smile had made it way on everyone face as they looked at lincoln.

"So lincoln, are you going to cheer for tabby or Luna" lola asked with a small smirk.

Lincoln cleared his throat slightly "I going to cheer for the both of them cause they are both amazing" lincoln told them, making the girl smile.

Everyone had soon finished eating and went to go whatever they had normally do, while lincoln was laying in his room with ice bags on his arms cause they was already sore.

"...dang it" lincoln mumbled as he sat up, letting the ice bags fall off his arms as he looked over at his guitar case and reached for it, whining a bit but grabbed it none the less and pulled it onto his bed, opening it to pull out his guitar.

Lincoln held the guitar in front of him to look at it, slowly taking everything in, he slowly ran his hands over the body before feeling the neck of it, he placed his forehead on the cords, thinking about tabby and all she done for him.

"Tabby... I'm sorry" lincoln mumbled as he knew he was selfish, she had dropped out of the talent show so he could had a chance to pass, even though she said she was planning to dropout of it in the beginning but he didn't believe her, she was so amazing, kind, funny, sweet, beautiful, and yet she did this for someone like him

Lincoln eyes had widened and he started to choke on spit as he had quickly placed the guitar down, and he started to think about what had cross his mind "tabby... Beautiful" he mumbled as he started to think about everything about her, making him smile softly with a small chuckle "yeah... She is beautiful" he finally confuses to himself.

Lincoln chuckled softly to himself as he grabbed his guitar and place it back into the case, once done he had reached over for his phone to see the time "I can sleep for a bit before it is time to go" he mumbled while he had placed the guitar down on the floor and slowly went to sleep.

Minutes had slowly turned into hours as lincoln had slept before he woke up, hissing a bit as he arms had hurt worse then early but he knew he would just have to bear it, after some more time had pass the louds had left, going to the Loyal Woods Theater so they could find some good seats before it gotten to crowded.

The louds had pulled up to the theater and saw that it was already filled with cars, after awhile of looking the family was able to find a spot before they had exit the car.

"Guy's I going to go to find Sam, I think she already inside" Luna said as she had ran off while her family had called out that they would be inside.

"Hey ma can I go sit with tabby family, please" lincoln asked making his family look at them.

"I don't know honey" Rita told him.

"Please ma, I had message tabby and she said that they didn't mind" lincoln told making Rita look at her husband, who had nodded.

"I don't see a problem if they said it was okay" Lynn. Sr said making lincoln smile.

"Hmm okay honey but come back as soon as it is over" Rita said making lincoln smile and nod before he ran off, the louds had watched before they had went side to find a seat.

Tabby was pacing around as she was getting nervous "you are going to get me nervous if you keep pacing around like that" a voice said making tabby look up to see Sam and Danny smiling at her.

"Guys..." tabby said as they walked to her.

"Come on mate, you really need to calm down because this isn't like you" Danny said making Sam nod.

"Yeah, he right. Everything will be okay" Luna said as she had walked to them.

"Yeah, I guess y'all are right" tabby said but she was still nervous.

"Come on, let's get something to drink" Danny says making them nod as they had went to the juice table, once there they had started to drink before Danny had spoke up again.

"Look who just walked in" Danny said making the group look at the door, see L and the other 2 people in his band was with as they had walked in.

"Ugh there go my good mood" Luna said quietly while they had started to walk their way.

"Could y'all get out of the way, other people want to drink as well" L said while Luna was able to snap.

"Hmph last time I check, people can't join mid contest so what are they doing here" luna said as she was talking about the twins.

"They have nothing to do with this so leave them out of it, beside... They are my special guests, look in the rule book" L chuckled as she could hear the smugness in his voice making her squeeze her fist.

"Let's go" Luna said as she had storm off, Sam and Danny had followed behind her, leaving tabby with L and the twins.

One of the twins had hit the back of L head, making his head drop down before he had rub the back of his head with a small laugh "I definitely have a lot of making up to do, don't I" he said making them nod.

"It is almost time" one of the twins said as the host had started to talk about tonight.

"Tabby goodluck, I believe in you" L said making her smile slightly and nod.

"Thanks, now let's me go before Luna and the other see me talking to you" tabby said as she had went to go to Luna.

"Come on, let's get near the others so we can hear the names being called" L said as they had gotten near the other as almost everyone was looking at the TV that was set up so they could watch from the backstage.

"Welcome to the semi-final, tonight 6 lucky acts will make it to the final, now without wasting anymore time are y'all ready to get started" the host asked making the audience cheer "then let's not waste anymore time!" The host said making everyone cheer again as she had explain what was going to happen and how it was going to work.

"Now would the first 2 acts please come out" the host said as she called out the acts, they gotten up and left the stage while everyone had wished them luck.

Everyone had watched on the backstage TV as they was all nervous, unfortunately neither of the acts had made it to the finally, while everyone was a bit sad "dude..." L heard one of the twins said quiet as he was sure it was Nikki.

Soon more acts had went on the stage as 3 had made it though before it was finally L turn to go up on stage "now would L and Danny band please come up on stage" the host said as everyone left had wish them luck as they had left to go up on stage.

L and the twins had stood to the left of the stage while Danny and his band had stood on the right side of the stage "let's give a round of applause for these two amazing acts!" The host said as the audience had cheered for them, she had waited until they had calmed down before she started to talk again.

"Now let's not keep everyone waiting, act's that will be going to the finals..." The host started as she had looked at both of the act's before she started to speak again "the both of you!" She said as the audience had roar with cheering as the two group was shock.

"Both of you groups are amazing" one of the judges started making everyone go quiet so they could hear what they had to say "L your voice and team is great. Danny your group is just as amazing and I can honestly say that it is going to be nearly impossible to pick who is going to win because all the act's before us are amazing, so I hope that both of you give the finals everything you got" they said making both of the groups nod before they had left the stage.

"Now there is 1 more spot and our last 2 acts, could you please come onto stage" the host said as tabby and the last act had walked onto the stage.

Tabby had held up the rock'n'roll symbol as she let out a cheer as other people who had supported her had cheered for her.

"Now it is time last to announce the last act that will be moving to the final" the host said as everyone went quietly, looking at the 2 act's "...I'm sorry but this is the end of your journey tabby" the host said making tabby hang her head down, the audience had moan in sadness but clapped for her none the less as she kept looking down.

"Tabby" a judge had started to talk to her "even though this is the end, hold your head up high because you had made it so far and you was so amazing, the energy you had brought out everytime you came out on stage is a reward of it own, so don't give you" the judge said as the audience had clapped at that but she kept looking down

The host had walked to her and rubbed her back "tabby is there something you want to say to the audience before you go" the host said and waited but tabby didn't say anything.

"Well let's give one last appla- ah!" The host started but gasp as tabby had shot her head up and took the mic from the host, making people gasp.

"LISTEN UP... MY NAME IS TABBY AND DON'T THINK FOR A SECOND THAT THIS WILL BE LAST TIME YOU WILL HEAR THAT NAME BECAUSE IT'S NOT, IT ALSO NOT THE END FOR ME BECAUSE I'M A LIVING LEGEND IN THE MAKING, AND I WON'T STOP ROCKING AS LONG AS I CONTINUE TO BREATHE BECAUSE... BECAUSE ONE DAY I'LL SHINE BRIGHTER THAN THE SUN ITSELF... S-so you better remember the n-name tabby or you'll regret it!" tabby told everyone as her voice cracked in the end as she held back her tears.

Everything was quiet as no one had said in anything while tabby had give the mic back to the host, heading off the stage but was stopped as someone had spoke up.

"We believe in you!!" A voice had yelled loudly making tabby stop and look at the audiences.

"You can do it!!"

"You are amazing!!"

"We love you!"

"Tabby, Tabby, Tabby!!" The whole building had started to cheer for tabby as she looked at everyone and bit her lip as she held up the rock'n'roll symbol with her hand, making everyone do the same and cheer for her as she walked off the state.

After everything was said and done, it was time for everyone to go home, the louds and tabby family's was near the back where tabby and Luna had said that where they was being getting out at.

Luna was first to come out making her family go to her to congratulate her on making it to the finals "how you seen tabby" lincoln asked making her nod.

"She will be out in a bit" she told him as he needed to see her, a few minutes had passed before tabby had came out, seeing both families but her attention was on lincoln as she could see the regret in his eye's.

Lincoln had walked to tabby and hugged her "lincoln it is okay" she said as she hugged him back but being in his arms had made her frown "l-lincoln I'm fine" she said quietly as lincoln had broke the hug.

"I'm sorry" lincoln told her quietly as only she was hear, she had shook her head as she felt tears slowly build up, while both family had told her how amazing she was but she had looked up at her other brother.

"Joseph... I guess you was right..." Tabby said quietly as Joseph still had a hardened look across his face but he had walked to her, before he had lean down and wrapped a arm around her, shocking her "j-joseph"

"...You better keep your word and become a rock'n'roll Legend that will out shine every star in the universe, cause people will be waiting for you to make your come back" Joseph told her making her eyes widen.

Tabby lip had started to tremble and her eyes watered before she had started to openly cry as Joseph held her in his arms, the louds had watched as tabby mom and dad had went to her and rubbed her back to comfort her.

"And don't forget we are here to support you as well" lincoln said making tabby look at him and smile.

"Yeah, you are like an extension of this family tabby" Luna told her making her chuckle quietly.

"Thank you guy's" tabby said as she wipe her tears "it mean a lot to me" she told them, they smiled and nod.

"Ma can get go home now, I'm getting tried" tabby asked her mom.

"Sure honey, it is getting kinda late" she said as she looked at the louds and smile "thank you for cheering up tabby, and congress Luna" she said making her nod before they had left.

"Come on, guy's. It is time we went home as well" Lynn. Sr said as they had went to their van to go home.
