what up everyone, so I'm back with a better and longer chapter, I had took my time and didn't rush like the last 2 so I'm happy about that, anyway that is enough talking for now, enjoy the chapter.

Lincoln gotten ready for school while keeping an eye on his phone as he was currently waiting for a response from tabby and the twins, he finished getting dressed and left the house in no real rush.

Lincoln walked along the sidewalk while he kept thinking about today, he groaned and placed a hand over his stomach as he started to feel nervous about everything, he took a deep breath and kept going because everything was slowly falling into place.

Lincoln felt his phone go off a few times making him pull it out and saw messages from Nikki and tabby, he smiled and quickly read the messages, he nodded and put his phone away while he kept walking to school.

Lincoln walked up to the school and saw Ronnie Ann leaning against the wall on her phone, laughing as she was texting who ever was on the other end, he shook his head and went inside, going to his locker to put his stuff away.

Lincoln had put his stuff away in his locker and started to walk around for a bit instead of going straight to class, he kept walking until he had saw tabby with a few people around her, it was only expected because tabby was kinda popular and well known since she was performing in the Royal Woods Theater, something that not everyone could say they had achieved.

Lincoln had overheard some of the questions that they was asking asked her.

"What are you going to sing tonight?"

"Do you think you going to win"

"Do you know L, he is awesome"

"Is L a student"

"How did you come up with that play it loud song, it was amazing"

As the questions came so fast, Lincoln was sure her head started to spin, he walked up to her and called her name.

"Hey tabby" Lincoln had called out, making her look at him.

"Lincoln!" Tabby said with joy while she had pushed passed the group of people to get to him "sorry y'all, I gotta go. See ya later" tabby said as she had quickly started to leave while taking Lincoln with her, by his wrist.

The 2 had stopped once they was in a random hallway, tabby laughed a little bit making Lincoln smile "heh thanks for coming mate, I never really knew about all the attention I would get" she told him, making him chuckle a bite.

"Well you are popular" Lincoln told her making her shake her head.

"Heh for now at least" tabby told him before the bell had started to ring "ah time for class" she said making him nod.

"Alright I will see ya later" Lincoln told her

"I will be a bit late meeting you at the band room, I will be hanging with a few friends at lunch, I should be back before lunch ends" tabby told him making him nod.

"Alright that cool, see ya then anyway" Lincoln told her before the 2 had quickly split andwent to class.

Lincoln had sat in his seat while Mrs, Johnson had gotten everyone attention "good morning class, today I have a group project for everyone, so group up with a classmate of your opinion or you can work by yourself, the opinion is yours" she said while the students had smile and started to get together, there was a few of them that wasn't partnered up with anyone, and Lincoln was one of them as he had an ear bud in one of his ears, listening to music but also listening to music.

"...Hey Lincoln" a voice said making Lincoln look up and saw Ronnie Ann standing next to his desk "mind if I sit" she asked making Lincoln shrug.

"Go ahead" Lincoln said as he had looked at the board to see what he was supposed to be doing, while Ronnie Ann had pulled a chair next to his desk and sat down, looking at the desk.

"What do you want Ronnie Anne" Lincoln said as he started to work on the project while Ronnie looked at her hands.

"I just wanted to say sorry Lincoln" Ronnie Ann said while looking kept working.

"I already told you it wouldn't of had worked between us, Ronnie Ann" Lincoln told her making her sigh.

"I know but I don't like..." Ronnie Ann said but stopped, trying to find the words to say.

"You don't like the guilt you feel, you know what you did was wrong and because I not making you feel better about it, you can't find peace with yourself" Lincoln explain making her look at him.

"...Lincoln..." Ronnie said quietly.

"Besides I seen how happy you was when you was on your phone earlier, so tell me... Was you talking to him" Lincoln asked making her sigh and nod.

"Maybe some day we can go back to being how we was before but... In time just try not to hurt him as well" Lincoln told her making her take a sharp breath as if he had just punched her in her stomach.

The bell had rang and Lincoln had packed up, glancing down at Ronnie Ann and shook his head "...I had already forgave you, it about time you forgave yourself" he said making her look up at him while he had left the class

Lincoln had walked to the band room, once there he had noticed tabby was nowhere in slight "she did say she was going to be late" he told himself as he had went to the piano and sat down, looking at his phone, thinking about ronnie Ann.

Lincoln got up and went to get a guitar as he took a deep breath and slowly started to pluck the cords.

(three days grace - gone forever)

Don't know what's going on, Don't know what went wrong, Feels like a hundred years, I still can't believe you're gone, So I'll stay up all night, With these bloodshot eyes, While these walls surround me with the story of our life

Lincoln slowly stopped playing before he immediately started to play louder

I feel so much better, Now that you're gone forever, I tell myself that I don't miss you at all, I'm not lying, denying that I feel, so much better now, That you're gone forever.

Now things are coming clear, And I don't need you here, And in this world around me, I'm glad you disappeared, So I'll stay out all night, Get drunk and freaking fight, Until the morning comes, I'll forget about our life.

I feel so much better, Now that you're gone forever, I tell myself that I don't miss you at all, I'm not lying, denying that I feel so much better now, That you're gone forever.

First time you screamed at me, I should have made you leave, I should have known it could be so much better, I hope you're missing me, I hope I've made you see, That I'm gone forever.

And now it's coming clear, That I don't need you here, And in this world around me, I'm glad you disappeared. I feel so much better, Now that you're gone forever, I tell myself that I don't miss you at all, I'm not lying, denying that I feel so much better now, That you're gone forever, And now you're gone forever.

And now you're gone forever.

Lincoln finished singing and smiled a little bit as he had put the guitar up back on the guitar stand, while popping his fingers as he went to go sit back down, looking at his phone "I wonder how long tabby is going to be" Lincoln asked himself.

"She is going to be another 4 minutes" a voice said making Lincoln nod, paying little attention.

"Thanks..." Lincoln said but stop and looked up from his phone and saw tabby standing in front of him "tabby!" He said as he put his phone away.

Tabby chuckled and sat near him "heh hey mate, sorry for making ya wait" she said making Lincoln shake his head.

"Nah it wasn't that big of a deal, I was just playing around a bit, thinking about tonight" Lincoln told her making her nod.

"Since we here, let's go ever the plan to make sure we are one the same page" tabby said making Lincoln nod again.

The two had spent the last 30 minutes talking about tonight, making sure everything had went as plan, while talking the bell had rung causing Lincoln and tabby to stop talking and get up.

"I guess we did all we can at the moment, so now we just need to see if the plan will work" Lincoln said making tabby smile a bit.

"Yeah, I will see ya later Lincoln" tabby said before the both of them had left the room and went to class, the minutes had slowly started to tick away while everyone had waited until the last bell had finally rang so that way they could go home.

Lincoln and tabby had met up in front of the school "are you ready tabby" Lincoln asked making tabby nod.

"Yeah mate, ma and pops should be at your place real soon" tabby asked making him smile.

"Cool, I'll see ya then" Lincoln said as he had ran home, tabby had ran home as well to get ready.

Lincoln had arrived at home and went inside where he saw his sister's getting ready to go, he went to find his parents and found his mom in the dinner room "mom can I please ride with my friend and their parents to the concert" Lincoln told his mom.

Rita had thought about it for a bit "I don't know Lincoln, I mean we haven't even met them before" she told him making Lincoln think.

"Luna had met them, they are really nice people mom. Please" Lincoln had begged her making her sigh.

"Hmmm alright Lincoln, you can as long as it is okay with them" his mom told him making him smile and hug her

"Thank you mom" Lincoln said as he had went upstairs to get some stuff ready, once he was ready he just had to wait until tabby and her parents came to pick him up.

Lincoln sat on his bed as he grabbed his gift guitar that tabby, Joseph, and her parents got him and started to play it to pass the time, he adjusted the cords until it had sounded right before he started play a simple made up song.

Lincoln phone started to ring making him stop playing and grab it, seeing it was tabby "hey, are you outside" Lincoln asked her.

"Yeah, we just got here" tabby said making Lincoln get up.

"Alright, I'll be out in a second" Lincoln told her before he had hung up and place his guitar down, grabbing his bag, and walked out of his room heading to the stairs but stopped as he went to Luna and Luan room, knocking on the door.

"Coming!" A voice said before Luna had opened the door, smiling at Luna "hey bro, what going on" she asked making Lincoln shake his head.

"Nothing, I just wanted to wish you good luck tonight" Lincoln told her making her smile and rub the of his head.

"Thanks mate" Luna smiled at him and Lincoln smiled as well as he had pulled back and went downstairs, leaving and saw tabby parents car waiting for him, making him hurry up and get in. After everyone said hello along with a 'shut up' from John, they had drove off.

L had looked around the building and seeing the other act's "L" he heard someone called his name and saw the twins in their costume along with their mask, walking up to him.

"Hey guy's" L waved as he walked to them.

"So this is it eh" one of the twins ask making Lincoln nod.

"Where tabby?"

"She is getting ready in the bathroom" L told them making them nod "I hope y'all ready" he told them making them laugh and nod.

"Like wise" they told them as they had give each other a fist bump, ready for the night while L had looked and saw Luna, Sam, Danny, and the rest of their band looking at him making he walk to them.

"Heh guess y'all are not clowns after all but... still nowhere close for a challenge for me" L told them making Luna glare at him.

"Hmph you want a challenge then you got one, brat" Luna said making Lincoln smile behind his mask.

"Then you better quit playing and go all out then" L told them making them nod as they had glared at each other
