34. chapter 32

Lincoln was walking back home, a smile on his face as he had enjoyed the time he had spent with tabby, he had stopped in front of the door as he had remembered that he needed to have a talk with his sister's.

Lincoln had walked in the house and saw his sisters watching TV together, he had walked and stopped in front of the TV, causing the girls to groan and tell him to get out the way "leave Ronnie Ann" Lincoln said making the room go quiet before Lola turned off the TV

"Ummm what did you just say" Lola said to make sure she heard Lincoln right while he had looked at them

"I want you all to quit messing with Ronnie Ann, especially you Lynn" Lincoln said as he looked at her

"But that-" Lynn started but Lincoln had cut her off

"I don't care!" Lincoln yelled making everyone jump, looking at him shocked "I don't care what she did anymore... And if you really want to help me, than listen to me and leave her anyone" he finished before he turned and walked away, going upstairs to his room so he could go to sleep.

The next few days everything had went by smoothly for Lincoln, no fights, no getting trouble in school, hanging out with tabby, Sam, and luna. Friday had finally came as there was a meeting, a day that had made all the performers nervous, because today was the judges cut. Only 16 act would make it and go to Royal wood theater.

Lincoln, tabby, Sam, and Luna was currently in the music store, spending time with xeno and zeno; Lincoln and tabby was sitting on the check out counter while Lincoln had playing the guitar a little bit, playing a simple song, while Sam and Luna was somewhere else.

"So tabby, I see your performance last week. It was amazing" xeno said as she gotten both Lincoln and tabby attention, tabby had smiled

"Thanks mate but I don't think I can make it all the way" tabby said making Lincoln and xeno look at her confused.

"Why do you say that" Lincoln asked as he had stopped playing, giving tabby his full attention.

Tabby shrugged "I don't know, it just a feeling I guess" she said as looked at him

"Well it just a feeling" xeno said as she looked at her "nothing is set in stone" she finished making tabby smile and nod before tabby had pulled out her phone to look at the time.

"It is about time me, Luna, and Sam got going" tabby said and left, leaving to go find Luna and Sam while leaving Lincoln with xeno.

"So cutie, how ya been" xeno said to Lincoln as she lean on the counter to look at him.

"I'm been fine, just be spending time with the girl's" Lincoln told her making her nod.

"I had noticed, everytime I see them I see you right with them" xeno smiled

"What can I say, I really like this place" Lincoln told her honestly, making xeno smile bigger before she started hugging Lincoln who had blushed a bit.

"You and the girls are my favorite" xeno said as she pulled back and ruffled up his hair, Lincoln had gotten off the counter.

"Heh thanks, I will be going for a bit so see ya later" Lincoln said as he put the guitar away before leaving.

Tabby, Sam, and Luna had met up with Danny and the rest of the band as they had walked to the movie theater since that is where the meeting was going to be held at and everyone had to be there. The group had went inside, noticing how many people there where, they had walked in the middle row and sat down.

A few minutes had passed before a judge came on stage, getting everyone attention "hello everyday, as you all know today are the judges cut, after today the 16 of you will be going to Royal woods theater with your acts, and if you don't make it then please leave and we are sorry but don't give up on your dreams, because we expect to see you again" she said making everyone look around "now we are going to call you up on stage a few at a time, so listen for your name's. Now let's get started" she finished and just like that the judges cut had begun.

Tabby, Sam, Luna, danny and the rest of the band had watched as people had went on stage and watched as some didn't get picked while some did, the whole thing was a roller coaster of emotions but mostly nervousness.

"Tabby, Danny group, and L please come up" one of the judges called out make their eye's widened.

"Best of luck tabby" Sam said to tabby as they stood up

"You too" tabby said back to them as they went up on the stage but noticed L didn't show up causing the judges and everyone else to look around.

"L your name had been called, please come up on stage or we will take it you had dropped out" one of the judges called out in the theater before the door opened and L had walked in "ah there you are, L come up on stage" the judge said and L had went up on stage and stood beside tabby.

"Now look, there are only 7 more spots remaining" the of the judges said as everyone was tense and it was a bit easier for L to hide it because of his mask but that didn't stop the feeling he had to throw up, the same could be said for tabby "we had a hard time deciding this but... All 3 of ya had made it, y'all going to to Royal wood theater" the judge said make Danny group cheer while they went to tabby and picked her up, and L had squat down grabbing his hood while pulling it down over his mask as he was shaking slightly before he stood up and left, while Danny group had continued to cheer with tabby but she had seen him leave.

After everything was said and done, there was 16 act's going to the semi-finals which would of been held at the Royal woods theater.

Sam, Luna, and tabby was looking for Lincoln as they had saw him leaning against a wall "hey Linc!" Luna called out while the 3 had walked to him and he had looked at them and waved.

Luna had saw that his eyes was slightly red and kinda puffy "have you been crying" she said asked making Lincoln eyes widened before he shook his head.

"No, I just have something in my eyes that was really annoying" Lincoln said make luna nod her head "so how was the meeting" he asked.

Luna smiled and hugged him "we are going to the Royal Woods theater!" Luna said making Lincoln smile and hug her back at the news.

"I knew y'all could do it without a problem, you guys and amazing" Lincoln said to them "it almost time to dinner to"

"Welp you know what that mean, to the car" Sam said as she and the rest went to the car, as Sam took everyone home
