twenty-three

I bursted out of the front door. Ugh! Fucking Keith! He always hides everything from me! I know he's lying to me. Why can't he just talk to me! We been dating for a while now! I love him & he loves me!... right?

  I ran down the stairs and got into my car. I turned on the engine and drove. Drive to anyway that I can actually think.
  Keith. Keith Kogane. I love him. He's my everything. His black hair, his pale skin, his dark purple eyes, his amazing body— he's just amazing.

  I didn't know where I'm going, to be honest. I'm Lance. I'm the one kid who is always a shadow of something or someone! Yay¡!
Just Keith. Keith is amazing. I love him more than anyone & anything. He lies to me. I love him. I want him to be as close to me as ever. No matter what. He just doesn't want to. I want him to trust me with anything. I never judge.
  I drove to my favorite boba place. I walked in and waited in line. It was pretty crowned, but I have no where to go.

"Oh my god! Blue!" A familiar voice came from behind me. I quickly turn around from shock.

"Who ar— Carlos!" I smiled to see my older brother there behind me. I quickly hug him.

"Lance! How are you?!" Carlos hugged me.

"Well, I guess. How about you?"

"Great. The kids went to summer camp, so Geo & I been free!" Carlos laughed and let go out of me.

"Wow, wow." I laughed by how my brother is a great parent.

"How are you & Keith? I really like Keith! He's best fit for your boyfriend." Carlos put his arm on my shoulders.

"Uhh... we got in a fight. I'm just alone." I nervously laughed.

"You two are perfect together. We must do the Full House act! We have to because Mamá loves Keith so much."

"Okay, we can talk it out. It's just stressful. Let me get my drink, at least." I smiled and look back at the menu.

"Okay, I'm going to save a table. Okay?"

"Okay."

After I ordered my drink & waited my drink, I walked over to the table with Carlos.

"Now, explain." Carlos crossed his arms and look at me.

"Uhhh.. if you didn't know, but Keith & his mother were taken to the hospital. Keith fell into a coma & his mother was healing from the gun shot in her chest. Who put them in the hospital is Keith's father. I never actually met his father because Keith doesn't want me to. Earlier today, Keith went to court for his mother's case & he didn't tell me. He supposed to tell me everything! I know he's going through. BUT! He been lying to me. I just want him safe & happy." I looked down to my feet.

"Lance. All healthy relationships have fights. It's normal. I know you want to keep him safe, but maybe sometimes he needs do things alone. People need some alone time, mostly with people that been through a hard time. Lance, you're my baby brother. I love you, but you have to chill. Keith needs your support and love right now, but you being a baby. You have to push aside the past, do what makes you happy now so you can be happy in the future. Okay?" Carlos lift up my chin and hugged me.

"I dont know if Keith even loves me. I left him alone at home.."

"Love doesn't disappear that quickly. Now, go back home & help your boyfriend."
