(⚠️Warning "Cutting.")
Lance's P.O.V
I woke up and heard knocking on my door. I got up and I opened it. "What?" I said fixing my hair; it was Shiro. He looked angry. "You slept in again!" He yelled in my face. I looked down helplessly. "You are just..." he stopped himself, and left. I always hear the same thing!
Allura
Stop talking and listen for once!
Shiro
You slept in again!
Keith
You are so worthless..
Hunk
Pay attention!
Pidge
You are nothing to me!

Coran never said anything mean to me. He acted like a uncle to me and I felt happy about that, I guess...
Maybe I should break my mask and be like Keith. Everyone looks up to him, just be like Keith. I opened my door, and walked to the training room. Keith never went to the training room early, so I was the only one here.
I smiled and my gun appeared in my hand. I rarely trained by myself, but this felt nice. I was only on level three, but the rest of the paladins were already at level 10. I trained for hours trying to get to level 10. When I reached level 13, I fell to the floor and my body started to ache really badly. Stand up you idiot!!
I got up slowly and walked out of the training room to the kitchen. Shiro, Allura, and Hunk were their waiting for the rest of us to come and eat. I sat down on my seat, and started to eat when they gave me my bowl of disgusting green goo.
I noticed the paladins were shocked that I was early, but I didn't seem to notice.
After, a couple minutes of silence I got up and walked away. I went outside of the kitchen. When I stepped foot outside the kitchen everyone started talking to each other.
Tears fell down my face. My mask was breaking. Why are you crying? You are weak! Everyone hates you! One one cares about you... I ran to my room, and cried into the pillow.
"Stop crying..." I mumbled but I just kept crying. After a couple more minutes of crying, I walked to my bathroom and opened a little blue box I had.
I saw my razor inside it. I sighed and picked it up and slid it across my skin; I winced at the pain. Blood oozed out of the cut; it burned badly. I poured water onto the multiple cuts, I had on my arm.
I wrapped a cloth around my arm and went on my bed. My door opened.., I pretended to be asleep. Someone turned me over to face the wall I tried to cover my arm with my blanket.
I opened my eyes slightly and saw it was Keith. He grabbed the arm I had cuts all over and took off the cloth. He gasped, and his eyes widened. I pretend to groan so it can seem like I just woke up.
I opened my eyes very slowly. "K-Keith..?" I said rubbing my eyes in a sleepily manner. "Did you cut yourself?!" He said looking very angry. My eyes widened, I didn't even know why he was in my room in the first place, but I didn't want to hurt Keith so... "I will stop..." I said tearing up just a little.
I felt my mask build up just a little, but not too much to feel happy again. He hugged me tightly. I felt his arms around my waist. I wrapped my arms around him as well.
I cried into his shoulder. "I will stop.." I mumbled a couple of times. "Shh," he whispered softly into my ear.
He rubbed my back gently. I stoped crying but I just kept sniffing. "Don't worry..I am here for you now." Keith said kissing my forehead gently.
