23. Chapter 22

what up everyone, as always here is another chapter and before y'all read it than please read this because there a lot I want to go over. so I just wanted to start by saying the comments in the last chapter was AMAZING like omg! the asskicking express, the ultra instincts Lincoln, and so many more that was so awesome, so thank you. next is that some people don't like to read fight scenes since they are kind of hard to read, and I understand that so that why I tried to be as detailed as possible so everyone can try to see it in their head like a little movie heh but that is enough for now, I will finish what I have to say as the end of the chapter.

Lincoln had woke up in the middle of the night and looking at his partly bandaged up arm's, almost forgetting how they had gotten bandaged up in the first place but remember he had ask Lynn to do it since he arm's had gotten bruised some how, he sighed and grabbed his phone and looked at the time and saw it was 4 in the morning, he shook his head and went back to sleep.

Lincoln had woke up again, unable to sleep as a annoying empty feeling had filled him, making him look at his phone and saw only a hour had passed "dang it..." He sighed quietly as he decided to just listen to some music to pass the time, Lincoln look at his phone and noticed a unread message from a unsaved number which caused him to open the message.

"Congratulations! You had made it pass the tryouts along with a lot of other really talented people. We had sent everyone a code so that way if someone try to be you, we can catch them red handed. So it is important not to lose this code. There will be a meeting this weekend at the mall at 5-6" the message had said as there was a small 4 digit code of random number, along with a Q/A link just in case someone couldn't be at the meeting.

Lincoln chuckled and was filled with excitement as he started to think about the next song he would have do, plus a new outfit, he gotten up and turned on the light's before he went to his closet and looked at his clothes, noticing the lack of black made him shake his head before a ideal had came to mind, causing him to smile and quietly went to work.

Hours had passed for the boy as he was to busy with his project to be worry about anything else, the sounds of his alarm going off caused him jump and quickly grabbed his phone to turn it off, he gotten up and went to the restroom, glad to be the first one there so he wouldn't have to wait in a line.

Lincoln had wash his face, brush his teeth, flick at his cow lick a bit before there was banging on the door "hurry up and get out of there before I turn whoever in there in a human pretzel" he hear Lori hiss making him jumped and quickly opened the door only to be met face to face with Lori.

Lori eye's widened as she didn't expect Lincoln of all people to be there "oh Lincoln" she said, not really sure what to say as she had looked down at his forearms and saw they was bandaged up.

"Sorry Lori" Lincoln said as he had rushed passed her and went to his room, making her feel somewhat sad as she had watched him.

Lincoln had gotten dressed and grabbed all of his stuff before he had looked down at his arms, and slowly pulled off the bandages and looked at his arms, as he noticed some slightly discoloration but it wasn't that noticeable.

Lincoln left the room and headed for the door "I'm out" he called out as he left the house and walked to school.

"I hope tabby had made it pass tryouts, her performance was awesome, hope she didn't go all out though" he said to himself quietly, after a few minutes he had arrive at school, stopping in front of the school he took a deep breath, and pulled out his headphones out before he started to listen to music than walk inside.

Lincoln had felt everyone eye's on him as he glance at people who was looking at him, keeping their distance, and could tell they was whispering something about him from the way they was looking at him while talking to their friends. Lincoln rolled his eyes and went to his locker and put his stuff away while he felt a certain pair of eye's looking at him.

Lincoln turned and saw Ronnie Ann looking at him, she had quickly turn and walked away, he could of sworn her face was kind of red, he shook his head and went back to putting his stuff away.

The bell had rang causing everyone to go to class, Lincoln had closed his locker and made his way to class like everyone else, while taking off his headphones, once in class he went to his seat and still noticed people was talking about him which had started to annoy the young male.

Class was slow and boring, making Lincoln space out more than once, after what seem like hours the bell had finally rung, and Lincoln had gotten up and left, not waiting to wait to see tabby any longer since she always made his day better.

Lincoln had somewhat speed walk to the band room and walked inside where he seen tabby pacing "tabby" he called out making her eyes go wide as she looked at him before she had ran to him and hugged him tightly before she pulled back.

"Lincoln are you OK! Holy crap what happened to you!" Tabby said as she started to check his face before she had looked at his arm's and noticed the bruises.

Lincoln had chuckled and pulled his arm's away before he had hugged her, making her calm down before he pulled back and he started to explain what happened the other day, he watched her look down a bit and he could tell she had mixed feelings about everything "I sorry if I made you worry, but I'm ok" he told her making her nod her head.

Lincoln sighed as he started to think about how to change the subject before he suddenly remember the message "oh hey, did you get this" he said as he pulled out his phone and shown her the message about the talent show, making her pulled out her phone and look at her messages.

"Oh yeah, I did!" Tabby said happily as she shown him and Lincoln had smile before the two started to celebrate at the fact they had made it pass tryouts "Let's go out after school to get some ice cream again!" She cheer but noticed the gloomy express on Lincoln face

"I have to take a rain check, I got a week of detention for fighting" he told her making her sigh and shake her head "but I will take you out for ice cream this week after the meeting" he finished, making her smile.

"you better also I hope you didn't go all out mate, it would be a shame if you had give it you all and didn't have a backup plan" tabby said making Lincoln laugh.

"I was thinking the same thing about you" Lincoln laughed as the two was have a good time talking and laughing about stuff that they didn't noticed the time until the bell had rung, causing them to look at each other.

"I guess I will just call you tonight, Lincoln" tabby said making Lincoln sigh and nod a bit

"Yeah, I will message you when I'm out of detention" Lincoln said before he had hugged her, catching her off guard a bit but she had returned the hug.

"Heh see I will talk to you later Lincoln... Or should I call you 'L' instead" she said making him blush a bit before they had broke the hug and left to go to class

I going to end it here, sorry if it seem shorter than normal BUT I was kind of rushing things so I could upload in time, but I do want to go over more stuff. in the last chapter a lot of people was like "why did Lincoln got grounded, if he was protecting himself" well think about it, he almost put 4 people in the hospital plus in this whole fanfic he haven't even touched a game so it is a pretty useless punishment. next is a thanks to this really cool person I'm talking to because he had let me have some fanfics ideas that sounds awesome and can't wait to start working on them. next I have a tumblr and before y'all look it up, it is loudcest and non-loudcest so there no point in whining about "people who like loudcest are freaks" if you don't like loudcest that fine, if you do like loudcest that fine too, but anyway here my tumblr: the-lewd-house1739. that all for now, anyway I hope y'all enjoy this chapter and a quick shout out to the fact I had posted for every 1-2 weeks since this fanfic got started, and I haven't missed a day yet, but anyway. like, comment (I want to keep seeing love because it is a awesome feeling), and be ready for the next chapter.
