The Boy in the Rain//Klance

10 Months Later:

I laugh out loud at the joke Hunk just texted me. Ever since Keith introduced me to his friends I've grown close to both of them.

Hunk and I are pretty much best friends, I learned he lives in my neighborhood with his mom. Pidge is the friend I play video games with or invite over to just watch movies, and then play video games.

Being friends with Keith is hard but still fun. I always resist the urge to either kiss him or punch him. I'm not sure which one I want to do more.

Us four have been a big friend group for about three months and then I met Allura.

The beautiful, naive, straight, cheerleader Allura. She was to distract me from my pain about Keith. She had bright blue eyes and tan skin like me and long curly dyed white hair. She's gorgeous. Not as gorgeous as Keith but still gorgeous.

And she's a good cover up. All the gay rumors are gone now about Keith and I. Lotor and I were good friends but he's stopped talking to me since I started dating Allura.

My phone rings. I look at the contact "Babe<3" popped up on screen. I pick up the phone.

"Babe?" I say into the silence.

"Lance! How are you love?" I love the way she says my name, as if it has an "o". "I'm great now that I can hear you're beautiful voice." I hear her giggle, "Lance you're such a flirt." I laugh too. "Anyway darling, I'm going to a party tonight at Lotor's, as long as you are coming though."

I smile to myself in my room. I get to be alone in here now. Danny, Nina and Abuelita moved into an apartment. Danny finally got a job and he invited Abuelita to live with him since it's closer to the hospital she goes to.

Luis and Marco now sleep with Mama. I get my own room! It's been very useful whenever Allura comes over.....

"I'd love to go Babe. Want me to pick you up?" I hear her say something to her uncle. "Yes dear could you? Around 9:00?" I nod even though she can't see me, "Uh yeah, see you soon."

"Lance. I love you."

I know it's selfish but I love to hear that. No one says that to me anymore, "Allura. I love you too." And I think I mean it.

I rush to my closet to find my outfit for tonight. I pick out a white t-shirt with a drawing of a blue lion on the back. I put on black skinny jeans, black vans, and a blue snap back hat. I head to the bathroom and check myself in the mirror. I look down at the toilet.

You haven't thrown up in a while Lance. Why don't we do it now? You can just brush your teeth and you won't smell like throw up.

"No." I growl, "Allura made me promise not to do it ever again."

Since when were you truthful to Allura?

I look down at the toilet once more. I have been eating a lot. I sit down on the floor in front of the toilet and stick my fingers down my throat. As I throw up the school lunch. Pizza chunks are scattered through the bile. Friday is pizza day at the school.

I cry softly because I've failed her. I'm sorry Allura. I promised you and I broke that promise. Why do I keep doing that to people?

I stand up weakly and head to the sink. I brush my teeth as hard as I can. I take out a piece of gum from the pack in my back pocket and pop it in my mouth. Hopefully my breath will smell good.

I sit on the couch in the living room. Marco, Chloe and Veronica are watching some old 80's show about robotic lions. I immediately like the blue paladin Lacey, she's got long brown hair and dark blue eyes. I can tell she's in a relationship with the other girl with a black pixie cut and almost black eyes, her name is Kiara. She's cute for an 80's film character.
