The Boy in the Rain//Klance

23. Lance

The tables in the diner weren't big enough for everyone so we decided to split up. Mama, Luis and Marco got their own small table together. While Veronica, Chloe, Allura and I got a table together too. I sit next to Allura in a booth with Veronica in front of me and Chloe next to her. The menus on the table have pictures of so many different burgers, I can feel my mouth watering.

Chloe asks for a kids meal and when she gets it she starts to draw something on the back. I look over the table, "Whatcha drawing there Chlo?" She slides the paper to me and I see a tic tac toe board drawn with her 'X' already in the middle. "Dang it! You took the best spot! Why are you so smart?" Chloe giggles and gives me a blue crayon, "Your turn!" Allura leans her head on my shoulder as I write an "O" in one of the corners. Chloe takes the paper from me and starts writing.

I notice Ver is being all quiet and moody, which isn't like her at all, so I ask what's up, "Ver is there something you aren't telling me?" She's my twin, I wish she wouldn't be so secretive. We were best friends not too long ago. Now that's Hunk and whoever Veronica feels like being with.

"Ezor asked me out." She says quietly under her breath and looks away, resting her head on her hand.

My mouth goes wide open and I can tell Allura is trying her best to focus on Chloe. Chloe is drawing some stick figure.

"That's great! I mean if you're into Ezor or even girls for that matter-" "I am Lance." Veronica cuts me off, "I'm bi Lance." I would say the same to her and come out but Allura rests on my shoulder and I can feel the promise she made me swear to her when we first started dating.

"You aren't gay. You aren't bi. You like girls. Only one girl. That's me."

"That's uh-" I don't know what to say becse Veronica looks at me with such a disappointed face, "Really Lance? I thought you'd be more supportive." Veronica gets up from the table and stalks off. I shrug Allura off my shoulder to go and follow my twin sister.

"Don't follow her." Allura speaks through her teeth.

Veronica's P.O.V

As I stand outside of the diner I start to cry. I lean against the brick walling. I always thought Lance would support me. I guess I was wrong. I wipe at my eyes with my long purple sweater sleeves. My long curly brown hair gets in my eyes too and I get frustrated. At my hair. I'm a mess.

I pull out my phone and decide to text Ezor back.

Ezzie:
Heyy V,,,,can we talk?

V:
I really don't want to right now Ezor. Leave me alone. You've done enough.

Ezzie:
The prank wasn't my idea and I didn't want to do it. Plz believe me V

V:
I trusted you with that secret. Then you go tell all your friends? No thanks Ezor I don't think I'll ever believe anything you say ever again.

Ezzie:
I didn't tell them. They must've heard a rumor. V I swear to god, I would never tell them that.

V:
Hmm well I guess it wouldn't be too bad if they heard a lil *rumor* that you got a little too drunk when I slept over at your house and you did all sorts of stuff Ezziiiee <3 Would it?

Ezzie:
Shit you're good

V:
That's why you love me

Ezzie:
My place? Thirty minutes?

V:
Make it 45, I've got other plans besides you ya know

Ezzie:
Just get over here

I shove my phone in my pocket and suddenly I'm buzzing with excitement. The prank and all my anger is lost with the new found joy to be with Ezzie. We've been friends for a while, I told her I was bisexual the next day she invited me over for a sleepover then she got drunk and let's just say she did a lot more than kiss me.

And let me just say I did a lot more than kiss back.

I rush back inside the diner with urgency. I skip the table with Lance, Allura and Chloe and just head over to Mama. "Mama! Can I go over to Ezor's for a sleepover?" My mom frowns, "But baby you haven't even eaten yet." I kiss her on her cheek, "I'll clean the kitchen and do dishes thank you and I love you Mama!" I run out of the diner and call up Ezzie.

"V? What's up?" I hear Ezor's energetic voice over the phone. "Do you want to pick me up?" I hear Ezor groan and I smirk, "But V I'm all comfy in my bed-" I cut her off, "Do you want
me over or no?"

"I'll be there in five." I say bye but right before I hang up Ezor asks, "Where are you at?" I turn around to look at the neon sign above the door. "Haggar's Burggar?" I say confused. Why'd they misspell burger. Is it literally just so it rhymes wjth Haggar? How dumb.

I hang up the phone and shove in my pocket. Only about two mi utes later I see a red convertible pull up with loud Post Malone playing. I roll my eyes because even though it's late at night, the top is down and Ezor's shades are on.

"Is this sweet babe looking for a ride?" Ezor whistles and I roll my eyes, "Is this sweet babe looking to get punched." Ezor pulls down her sunglasses and winks, "By you? Any time." I face palm and groan, "Ezor I'm actually not afraid to punch you." Ezzie giggles and once I get in she guns it.

Soooo! I think I'm going to start changing up the chapter names and adding the others in and giving them chapters such as; Hunk, Pidge, Acxa, Shiro, Allura, Ezor, Veronica, and Lotor. How does that sound? Also I had subway for dinner and I am feeling good. Update: The therapy went well and Meg said that we'd be having appointments more often and trying to pinpoint what triggers the nightmares. As always thank you for reading and have an awesome day~~~
