Falling...

Chapter 1- Lance's Journal.

Dear Journal,
Out of everyone in the entire planet, out of all the potential paladins, it had to be him. It had to be Keith. Fucking. Kogane. He just had to be chosen.

I'm slow to anger but what Keith did back at the Garrison...that is unforgivable. I'm eternally grateful that Pidge and Hunk are also paladins. Lord knows that if it was just me, Keith, and three other total strangers I would have murdered Kogane the first chance I got. But hey, that's not the case. I know for a fact that Shiro, Pidge, and Hunk would not allow me to murder a "fellow paladin."

I suppose that this is fate trying to give me a shot at revenge. Under any other circumstances I would have no problem with it, but now that we are the "Defenders of the universe" we cannot afford to lose a paladin. I'm not doing itg for Keith's sake...but for the lives and innocent people of the universe. Zarkon is evil. No, evil is an understatement.

It's been about a day since we became paladins... And two days since Keith and I have crossed paths again, and he has been talking to me like nothing has happened! What the hell. Did he forget? Or maybe he didn't forget, maybe he is waiting to say something to me. No, I'm gonna say something first. Even if he did forget I will never let him forget what torment he caused me. After the whole ordeal I had to see a therapist for 2 years. I was diagnosed with really awful anxiety. I've been taking medication for it but, that medication is on earth and I'm in a different fricking galaxy. Sooner or later in going to snap and it's not going to be pretty. But until then I can continue my "flirtatious and chipper" persona. Everyone seems fooled by it so far...

Sincerely, Sharp Shooter.
