-Lance's pov-

I dial the numbers before I can hurt myself even more than I already have.

The phone rings twice, it echoes off the bathroom walls. I stare at the razor in front of me, getting lost in it's reflection while the annoying ring goes off one last time.

Just as I'm about to press the razor to my wrist again, a familiar female's voice greets me.

"Hello, suicide hotline. I'm Shay! How can I be of your service?"

"H-Hey, it's Lance again. S-Sorry I keep calling you guys. I just need to talk to someone right now..." I whisper in to the phone.

Shay hums and speaks again, "it's quite alright, Lance. Can you tell me what's wrong?"

I nod, but then realize that she can't see me so I answer verbally, "yes, I-I messed up again. My boss, Allura... she yelled at me today when I didn't put the right kind of tape on the boxes. My manager, Shiro, and some other workers helped me. We had to tear them off and put the correct ones on to seal the boxes right. I believe their names were Coran and Pidge, and of course my boyfriend Keith... also Hunk was helping too."

"Hon, everyone makes mistakes while on the job. Even me! They're aren't going to be upset with you forever. I bet your boyfriend has already forgave you. Why don't you go and ask-"

"No, no, Keith can't find out about these feelings I have. He'll be so mad at me for not telling him sooner and think I'm disgusting for doing theses things. I can't tell him!" I cut her off and sob into that phone.

"That's alright! I'm not forcing you to. Just breathe and focus on my voice. In...out...in...out...good. Do you feel more calm now?" She asks me.

I blink at her question and slowly answer her, "I-I feel tired?" It sounds like a question.

"Ok, Lance. Why don't you go to bed and just lay with Keith? Does that sound ok?" Shay questions.

Sometimes Shay annoys me. I like her personality and everything, but it's just how she speaks to me. She treats me like a child having a tension tantrum and trying to calm me down. It's irritating...

"Yeah ok... Thanks Shay. I'll probably call you some other time. Goodbye."

"Call me for anything. Goodnight! Tell Hunk I said hi!"

I end the call and slam my phone on the cold tile floor. A few more tears go down my cheeks, but I wipe them away and being to clean up.

Once I'm done, I slip off my work clothes and get into my jammies. I roll under the warm covers and push my body into Keith's sleeping form.

-Keith's pov-

Who was Lance talking to? He's been hiding in the bathroom almost everyday once we get home from work. I know it's a female's voice because I've been listening through the door, but I haven't been able to understand what the are talking about.

I roll over and wrap my arms around the sleeping boy next to me. His soft snores fill the silent room.

"'No, no, Keith can't find out about these feelings I have. He'll be so mad at me for not telling him sooner and think I'm disgusting for doing theses things. I can't tell him!'" What does that mean?! What is he hiding from me?
