the truth

Pidj started a chat
Pidj added Starboy🌠

Pidj: okay

Pidj: cut the crud

Pidj: what's going on?

Starboy🌠: what do you mean?

Pidj: you know what I mean

Pidj: I know you aren't sick

Pidj: so spill

Starboy🌠: you won't believe me if I tell you the truth

Pidj: Lance, you've been here with me through so much. When I came out, you immediately stood by my side. You didn't even care. You've seen me at my worst, and you've been my shoulder to cry on. I want to know what's going on. I want to help, or at least try.

Pidj: I can't try if you don't tell me.

Starboy🌠: ...

Starboy🌠: okay

Starboy🌠: it's about Keith

Pidj: I had a feeling it was

Starboy🌠: well, you know how in elementary I always went to that camp in New Mexico?

Pidj: the one that you always came back from with head to toe sunburn and bruises all up your legs?

Starboy🌠: that's the one

Starboy🌠: camp Altea

Pidj: what about it?

Starboy🌠: well each year I went, I hung out with these two kids a year older than me, their names were Allura and Coran

Starboy🌠: it was just us three, and it was perfect. Each year we'd come back just to hang out and catch up. We lived in different states​, so that was the only place we ever got to talk.

Starboy🌠: well in fourth grade, a new kid came to camp. He was the same age as me. He befriended Allura and Coran, but for some reason he didn't like me. He pushed me around, and said mean stuff to me, but the other two told him off, and he left me alone.

Starboy🌠: the next year, I was afraid he would be there again, but I knew my other friends would be there, and no bully was gonna keep me from seeing them.

Starboy🌠: but I was in fifth grade, and they were in sixth. I didn't know that sixth graders went to a different camp, and when I went, Allura and Coran didn't

Starboy🌠: that boy did though

Starboy🌠: and because I "didn't have my babysitters" he got to do as he pleased. By the end of the week, everything in my body hurt. I spent my last two days inside with the camp counselors just so I had some sort of protection, then on the last night before we left, I went to sit on the pier. I just wanted to be home with my mom and my older brothers, heck I even missed the twins. I'm As I was looking out at the stars, I heard footsteps make their way towards me. Before I could do anything, I was in the water.

Starboy🌠: I didn't know how to swim. I almost died that night. I was so scared, and I didn't know what to do. Nobody other than him knew I was out there. I thought I'd actually die.

Starboy🌠: I would die, and I would never see my mom or brothers or sisters again. I had so much going through my head, I didn't even notice the counselor's hand that grabbed me and pulled me up. I just couldn't stop crying.

Starboy🌠: ever since that night, I've never gone back to that camp. I haven't seen or spoken to Allura or Coran. Because of him, I'm terrified of water.

Pidj: and it was Keith?

Starboy🌠: it was Keith. The new kid from camp that didn't like me.

Pidj: there are so many people named Keith, are you sure it's the same guy?

Starboy🌠: of course it's him.

Starboy🌠: I'd recognise that mullet anywhere.

Pidj: lance...

Pidj: I'm so sorry

Pidj: I'm coming over

Starboy🌠: no, you don't have to. It's stupid anyways, don't waste your time because of me

Pidj: Lance

Pidj: you were there for me

Pidj: I'm on my way

Starboy🌠: okay

Starboy🌠: thanks for being my friend Pidge. It means so much to me.
