I'm not having Lincoln forgive Lori (if it were possible)  right away since I want her to put in an effort to make it possible instead of her doing nothing to gain it. I feel like that would have some character growth on the part of Lori who at the moment isn't regretting her actions. I hope this explanation explains why Lincoln isn't acting like his usual character now back to the story:

Lincoln

Darkness. All I could see is the darkness that surrounds me as I frantically seek my way out. I have to get back to them, my family. They're waiting for me especially after Lori....

I froze when her name came up in my thoughts. She stabbed me. All because I choose to pick Leni's side for that stupid argument. If I didn't then they would've resolved it with a solution that would probably favor Lori more than Leni. Typical. Lori always had to be the one who gets her way all because she's the oldest. If she was:

Then why would she hurt me for such a petty reason?

I mean, I can understand that she was upset that I didn't chose her. But to yell at me, grab my shirt, throw me and then stab me in the eye with no remorse? Those aren't the actions of a normal girl. Those are the actions of someone who thinks that she can hurt me all that she likes and somehow get her way. Even now, she's probably at home watching Dream Boat or talking to her precious Bobby Boo Boo Bear on her phone. All without a speck of remorse on my well being or worry about the effects her actions had on me.

She probably thinks that I will come crawling back to her to apologize while making me do all her chores. I can just imagine the smug expression on her face as she orders me around just so I could get back into her good graces again. If she is thinking this then I have bad news for her, I'm done.

I'm done being her tool to somehow keep Bobby and herself from dating.

I'm done helping her with her activities.

I'm done being a pushover who instantly forgives his family despite them not earning it. 

Lori needs to earn my forgiveness instead of thinking that I will hand it over without a second thought. Until she achieves this, I won't see her as my sister or family member. I will see her as the monster who overreacted to my decision. After thinking this, I noticed that the darkness surrounding me was slowly filling up with light. Before I could comment on it, I woke up and stared at the white ceiling tiles above me. I could tell that something was wrong since I could only see out of one eye, but I knew the injury was the cause of it. 

I was so in my thoughts that I hardly heard the gasp and someone say:

LINCOLN! YOU'RE FINALLY AWAKE!

Before I could see them, they were instantly out the door looking for a doctor. Hopefully, I can see my family soon and speak to them about my decision...but if Lori comes through the door then all bets are off. Unaware that some chances did come from this incident that will shock and surprise me for years to come.

Lori

I laid on my bed while staring at the ceiling while counting the seconds until I get released.  I mean, I'm Lori Loud and my family can't function without me. I mean who would take my younger siblings to their stupid stores and force them to do my chores. Not to mention keep them in line with my orders.

"Still delusional, Barbie Doll." A voice said. I sat up and saw Big Boss staring at me with a smirk on her face. Oh, how I hated her. 

"I'm not delusional, my family is coming for me..." I said.

"Oh really now? They would come for you even though someone posted a photo of your arrest?" Big Boss said.

"What?" I asked in surprise. 

"I heard through my connections that someone took a picture of your pretty face getting taken to a police car. It's gained quite some interest especially from people who actually care for their siblings." Big Boss said.

"Who would do that? I will...." I started before Big Boss started to laugh. It was like she was amused by this situation.

"You will what? If you haven't noticed, you are stuck here with people who can do much more than make empty threats. You're even trying to threaten me, the leader of this place." Big Boss stated.

"Oh please, If I can take on my siblings...I can take on anything." I said with confidence. This didn't last long cause Big Boss started to laugh coldly before speaking.

"Poor Princess, you really don't know when to quit. No matter, once you're stuck here...we can play some fun games with each other and the other members of my group. I should warn you that it's easier just to give up and accept your fate." Big Boss said.

"I will never give up. My parents will come get me." I said. This caused Big Boss to smile and walk away. I tried not to let her words get to me, but I couldn't. Cause a small part of me knew that they wouldn't come for me and that I may end up at the mercy of Big Boss. 

Shaking my head, I tried to silence that part, but eventually this piece of me will grow until I'm consumed by the reality of my situation. I hope that things will be better soon, but I doubt it. 

Hope you enjoyed the chapter...Bye 👋
