* ''Fanfic/WhatIsAPersonWorth'': Lynn gives a big one to her grandfather about how she caused this mess in chapter 9:
--> "Everything...it's my fault the family is like this...I made Lincoln come to my stupid game and blamed him for our loss just because I couldn't take any responsibility for my actions...I put all my faith in luck and look where it got us?...I lost my brother...my family is torn over it...and I'm nothing but a stupid, inconsiderate...bitch..." Lynn tugged her legs into her chest.
--> Albert frowned at Lynn's choice of words, but he could see her point. "Well, Sweetie; I wouldn't say you're...that...you just needed time to realize your mistakes, and-"
--> "Yes. I. AM!" Lynn shouted in defiance as she faced her grandfather. "I'm the one who initially blamed Lincoln as bad luck! I'm the one who helped spread the rumor about his luck! I'M THE ONE WHO TURNED THE WHOLE FAMILY AGAINST HIM WHEN HE ACTUALLY TOLD THE TRUTH! I COULDN'T EVEN HANDLE THE HARSH WORDS HE SAID WHEN HE TOLD ME I WAS A SORE LOSER!" Tears were streaming from her face now. She held her foot up. "See this Pop-Pop?! Lincoln bit me here and I fully deserved it! Last time I spoke to him, I told him I wished he was never born!..." The athlete's voice was now broken up as she began to cry harder. "I-I never meant to s-say that...if anything, I-I'm the one who shouldn't have been born..." She sniffled. "All of the times I treated him like a w-wuss...a-all the times I took advantage of him because h-he's not as athletic like me...I'm officially the worst sister in this family...Lincoln's gone because of me! A-And he's never coming back!..." Lynn finished, continuing to cry on the ground.
** She gives another one during her breakdown in Chapter 21, this time in front of Lincoln.
--> "Lincoln..." Lynn spoke quietly. Lincoln blinked, his mouth dropping a little. He could've swore for a second, her voice almost sounded like Lucy's. "I'm...I'm not sure if I should even be in front of you right now...as great as a brother you are, I've been nothing but a terrible-no...horrible sister to you. Everything that's happened, all the way back to when I lost that one game..." Lynn's eyes became glassy. When she blinked, small tears started to roll down her cheeks. "It's all my fault...I know you might be thinking you had a hand in everything, b-but if I hadn't let my superstitions get out of hand...if I hadn't called you bad luck..." The teen gritted her teeth as more tears pooled down her face. Her hands tightened into fists as the frustration with herself grew. "I-If I had just learned to shut my mouth for once, none of this would've happened!"..."I always loved you Lincoln...ever since we were babies..." Lynn brought a hand to her face to wipe off a few tear stains. "I couldn't have asked for a better brother than the one I have right now, and I was too stupid to see it..." The brunette sniffled a little. "I didn't mean anything I said that night about not wanting you around, but you were right Lincoln...not only am I a sore loser, I'm the worst sister ever..." She recalled the first nightmare she had following Lincoln's absence. "If you weren't born...I..." Lynn tried to form the words, but the memory of seeing her brother being killed before he even had a chance to be born pushed them down her throat, only letting choked sobs come through. The teen sank to her knees, her hands covering her watery eyes. Tears seeped out from the palms of her hands and between her fingers, running down the length of her arm until they finally dripped off her elbows.
