Summary
A simple argument between Lori and Lincoln for a very stupid reason (explanation in story) goes a little too far and results in Lincoln running away.

Story
It was a normal day in the Loud house. Lincoln was reading an Ace Savvy comic when Lori burst into the room.

"Lincoln," she yelled.

"What do you want," asked Lincoln.

"Would you like to explain this," asked Lori.

Lori held up her phone, which had a big crack on the screen.

"I was playing with Charles and I bumped into your dresser and knocked your phone off," said Lincoln, "I'm terribly sorry."

"Yeah," said Lori, "you're sorry. Do you even know how much this thing even cost?!"

"Geez," said Lincoln, "calm down. It's just a phone."

"Just. A. Phone," repeated Lori, "just a phone?!"

"I'm sorry about it, OK," said Lincoln, "it was an accident!"

"I don't care," snapped Lori, "that phone is literally my fave thing in the whole world and now you've wrecked it!"

"Lori," said Lincoln, "I said I was sorry! Just accept my apology and be done with it!"

"How can I accept your apology after you destroyed my most cherished item," snapped Lori.

"For the last time," said Lincoln, "it was an accident!"

"Yeah," said Lori, "and I'm Britt Nicole."

"You mean that Christian singer girl James likes," asked Lincoln.

"Yes," said Lori.

"But anyways," said Lincoln, "please calm down. It can be fixed!"

"How can it be fixed," asked Lori, "the screen is cracked right down the middle!"

"Look," said Lincoln, "it's not that big of a deal."

"Not that big of a deal," repeated Lori, "not that big of a deal?! Lincoln Loud, just what is wrong with you?!"

"What's wrong with me," said Lincoln, "you're the one who's got something wrong with you!"

"Exactly," said Lori, "I do have something wrong with me. Why did Mom and Dad have to have a little phone-wrecker like you?"

Lincoln was totally shocked.

"You don't mean," began Lincoln.

"Yes," said Lori, "I do mean this: All you are is the biggest mistake Mom and Dad ever made. Now if you'll excuse me, I'll be in my room. Don't even bother coming in."

And with that, Lori left, leaving Lincoln in a terrible emotional mess.

"She...she...," stammered Lincoln, "she...doesn't love me anymore."

Lincoln then fell down on his knees and started to cry into his hands.

"Why would Lori say that to me," cried Lincoln.

Lincoln plopped down on his bed and sobbed into his pillow. He then heard a knock at the door.

"Hello," asked Lincoln.

"Linc," called Lana, "are you OK?"

"I don't know," said Lincoln, "am I?"

"You don't sound OK," said Lana, "are you sure you're OK?"

"I don't know," said Lincoln.

"OK," said Lana, "I'll leave you alone then."

With that, Lana walked downstairs, leaving Lincoln alone to cry in bed. After 5 minutes, he heard another knock at the door, this time it was Rita.

"Come in, Mom," said Lincoln.

Rita walked in, with a slice of pizza on a plate.

"I brought you some pizza in case you got hungry," said Rita.

"Thanks, Mom," sniffled Lincoln.

"Are you OK, sweetie," asked Rita.

"I'm not, Mom," said Lincoln, "I'm a mistake!"

"A mistake," gasped Rita, "Honey, you're not a mistake. Who gave you an idea like that?"

"Mom," said Lincoln, "I know you're concerned, but I really don't wanna talk about it right now."

"OK," said Rita, "Take all the time you need to think about it. And you should try relaxing, too. I don't want you going to bed upset."

"OK," said Lincoln as Rita left.

Lincoln got out a Superman comic he had bought earlier and read it while he ate his pizza. As he ate, he wondered about something. He then turned his attention to his stuffed rabbit, Bun-Bun.

"Bun-Bun," said Lincoln, "do you think Lori would be happier if I left?"

Lincoln moved Bun-Bun's head in a nodding motion.

"I thought so too," said Lincoln.

After taking the dishes down, Lincoln went back upstairs to his room and filled his backpack with lots of comic books, Bun-Bun, a water bottle, and some granola bars as well as an empty pickle jar. He then wrote a note and stuffed some pillows under his blanket for a decoy. When that was finished, he waited till everyone was asleep, then went downstairs. He was about to open the door when Lana spotted him.

"Linc," asked Lana, "where are you going?"

"Lana," said Lincoln, "don't tell anyone, but I'm running away."

"What," gasped Lana, "but why?"

Lincoln whispered everything in Lana's ear.

"Why would Lori do that," asked Lana.

"Because she's Lori," said Lincoln.

"Don't worry, Lincoln," said Lana, "your secret is safe with me."

"Thanks," said Lincoln.

Lincoln then put on his helmet and a reflector belt. Then, he got on his bike and rode away from the house.

"Goodbye, everyone," said Lincoln as a tear trickled down his face.
