Happy Mothers Day? (High School AU)

IMPORTANT NOTE: Not a ship story. Just a really sad one. Plus there will be cutting talk and getting ready to commit suicide. I swear to god this is such a dark chapter that I suggest that who ever gets triggered by stuff like this must NOT read the chapter. If you do, can't say I didn't warn you.
--------------
Keith stalked down the halls on this Friday afternoon. His bag hanging off his shoulder like weights. His thoughts making him go into a spiral.
Keith is dreading Sunday. He is scared of what his father will do to him this time. And every year, he avoids his group of friends. His guilt eats at him every time, but he just can't stand listening to what they will give their mothers, without tearing up.
Keith walks out of the school. And heads straight to the woods. He cuts through, hoping nobody is following. As he reaches the end, he walks along a very narrow path. He arrives. His heart swelling, he keeps walking. Looking at the headstones as he does so.
He stops at one, sitting in front of it.
"Hey mom."
He looks at the head stone.
"Sunday is Mother's Day. And just like every Mother's Day, father will beat or rape me."
He looks at the carvings, his fingers glide across. He looks down and notices water falling on the soil.
"A-and I just can't help it. My thoughts w-won't stop. I've tried everything Mom. I tried to talk to my friends, but I freeze up every time they ask. I can't live like this anymore." He stands.
"I've been cutting, and father gets mad every time he sees them, but it's the only way to feel free."
He takes out a rope.
"I'm gonna join you today. Probably around midnight." He shoves it back in his bag.
"You might be disappointed at me for it. But I'd rather be dead, then live like this until I move out. I know I have a future. But I don't think I'm worthy of it. I know I have friends. But they have been more distant. Or is it me that's being distant and I just can't see it."
He wipes tears from his face, eyes red.
"I'll see you soon Mom. I love you."
He walks back to down the narrow path. Cuts through the woods. And walks his way to his home.
"Keith!" He stopped in his tracks.
Shit.
He turns to see a small figure and a tall figure running towards him.
They catch up.
"Why the fuck have you been avoiding us?" Pidge asks. She looks up at him. Hands on her hips.
"Ya dude, we're all worried, but you haven't answered our calls or texts. It's worse than last year." Lance says. He puts a hand on Keith's shoulder, but Keith shakes him off.
"I'm fine guys. I've just been having a lot of things on my mind." Lie.
"Keith, we know your not fine. By the way your acting something has to be bothering you. We just want to help." Pidge gently says. Her voice soft.
"We just want you to let us in."
"I can't. It's harder than you think to just let people in. I'm sorry, but can you both go bother anyone else?"
Keith walks forward. Faster than before.
Lance and Pidge watch as Keith walks into his home.
"Are we following him?" She asks, looking up at Lance.
"Of course, I have gut feeling."
~Time skip~
Keith's dad wouldn't be home until eight. It's 2:30 which means he has six-and-a-half hours till he arrives.
Perfect.
Keith runs into his room, slamming his door while he is at it. He grabs his dagger and carves a big hole out of the ceiling. He grabs onto the wood behind the ceiling, testing its sturdiness. Satisfied, he goes to get the rope out of the bag. Knowing how to tie a noose due to practicing, ties it very fast. He nots the other end to the wood in the ceiling. He lets it go, it swaying back and fro. He runs down the stairs, grabs a chair from the kitchen and runs back his room. Positioning it directly under the noose, he sits on the floor.
Ok, breath. Think of the plan.
He goes to his desk, sitting down on his rolly chair (idk what they are called) and got out a pen and stacks of paper.
He wrote a main letter, and individual letters to his friends, he even wrote one for his father, telling him everything that he did.
A few hours after he wrote all he letters, he heard a scream...it was Pidge's scream.
He runs down to see his father hitting Lance who is above Pidge.
"FATHER! Stop it! They have done nothing, leave them be!" He yells while running towards them.
"Keith!" Pidge yells, she rushes over to Keith, her cheek bruised.
"You stay here, i'm gonna get Lance out and then I want you grab Lance and rush to my room. Got it!" She nods her head. He turns and runs toward his father, knocking him off Lance. He hears footsteps running up the stairs, he hops off, and follows Lance and Pidge. Once he is in his room, he slams the door, locking it in the process.
"Keith."
He turns to see them staring at him, eyes wide. Then he remembers the noose in the middle of the room.
Fuck.
-------------
They end up talking and Keith stays with Pidge till he graduates and Keith is getting help. Idk how to end this, I just want everyone to have a happy Mother's Day and treat your moms right.  I also did this one-shot because many people maybe lost their mothers, and can feel sad and guilty on this day. Anyway! Treat your mothers and I'll see you next time!!
