"Allura! We have information on quadrant 00017!!!" Pidge was screaming, as she ran down the hallway towards the main control deck. "Excellent pidge! What have you found out?" Allura replied. "Well, it says that in the orbit of the planet zicrose, there is quintessence, like ALOT of quintessence! Just like floating around, and our lions are fast enough to get there in a matter of 2 Vargas!" "Oh my, we better retrieve it before zarkon does." "ATTENTION ALL PALADINS OF VOLTRON, REPORT TO THE MAIN CONTROL DECK IMMEDIATELY!!" Allura's voice echoed through the intercom.

"Ok, paladins we need two of you to go on a short mission." "Well I can't do it because I'm working on fixing the ion canon for the castle's defense system. Pidge argued. "Well I can't do it I have to work on dinner", said hunk. "Alright alright Keith and Lance you guys are doing the mission". WHAT? HIM? no way!, do you know what torture this is going to be?, traveling with him?" Keith yelled. "Oh come on Keith it's not that bad- "NOT THAT BAD? IF I HAVE TO TRAVEL WITH YOU ITS GOING TO BE AWFUL!!!!"
Lance's POV
I stayed silent after that comment. I know I'm annoying but I didn't know I was THAT bad. Here's the thing, I know I'm supposed to be a big tough soldier or whatever but if I'm being honest that really hurt me. I shut my mouth and walked out of the deck. "What no snarky comeback?" I heard Keith's question echo behind me as I entered the hallway. "I CANNOT BELIEVE YOU JUST SAID THAT TO LANCE!, he is a person you know? He has feelings I'm so disappointed in you Keith." Allura scolded the teen before exiting the room as well.
As I walked down the long empty hallway, I was deep in thought. Something I often do without realizing it. I tend to over think things which isn't a great thing for my current mental state. See, my mental issues are things that no one knows about. I've been too embarrassed about them to tell anyone except my mama. I've already run out of my anti-depressants and I took my last anxiety medication a week and a half ago. Everything is going downhill.
As I walked down, I was so deep in thought, that I wasn't paying attention to where I was walking. I don't know how, but I was on the top floor entering the observatory. I entered the room finding a big hologram of the earth projecting from the floor. Stepping closer to it I could see Cuba, right there the place I know so well. I placed my cracked, dry hands on the hologram zooming into verudera, my home town. I know every twist and every turn of all the roads. I know the exact surfing schedule of verudera beach. I could see my house, with the four cars in the driveway, the bird house on the second tree, the flag that waved outside the living room window. It was all there. All of it except for one thing. . . Me.

Oh, how I miss it so much, I miss my family I miss Sophia, I miss Mateo, I miss mama, papa, Carlos, and Cleo. I miss our dog max, our cat pinky, my lizard Marco, all of it, I miss all of it.
In that moment all I could think about was how much fun they must be having without me. Even though that is probably far from true, what if? I felt a wave of sadness wash over me, my withdrawal from my meds have caused me to be more sensitive and emotional then normal. I stared at the house as the hot tears filled my eyes. No one was around, I could finally cry.

Crying is something I hate doing in front of people, so I wait till everyone is asleep, before having my daily dose of sobbing. See, what people don't know is every single night, I cry myself to sleep and then wake-up, put on my mask and pretend to be happy all day. It's a cycle really, same thing over and over. I sat on my knees and cried, I stared through the holgram as my vision blurred from my tears. I let them fall. Each stream another memory, each shaky breath, a new reason to be sad. I was sobbing now, "why? Why can't I just be home? With you I miss.... miss you s...so much!! I hate it here I just wanna come home!!! Please, god, anyone, bring me home to my family. My forehead was pressed against the globe while the rivers still flowed. I fell to the ground hugging my knees imagining my mama's embrace. Remembering all the times she comforted me when I bad an outburst. Every panic attack she helped me through. All the times I'd cried so much I couldn't breathe, she was there. I balled my hands into fists and punched the floor I screamed into the side of my arm trying to release my frustration and sadness.
As I was having my episode, I heard the door open. "Lance, we have to go on that miss- woah, are you ok?" Keith's voice trailed off into a quieter tone. I wiped my face. "Yeah, I'm fine Keith now what's this about the mission?" " lance? I saw you crying, what's wrong?" "I SAID IM FINE OK?" "Alright, sorry,." I didn't mean to yell at him, I wasn't angry, I didn't want to explain my issues to Keith,I know he wouldn't understand he'd make fun of me.
