Lance's POV

'Why do I even bother trying anymore?' I looked at my phone, hoping for him to text back.

"Heh. Why would he?" I was rolling on my bed, thinking of something to do when suddenly I sat up, a wide smile across my face.

"Hm...Katie...Katie...Ah! There it is!" I mumbled, clicking on her name, then messaged her.

L: Yooooooo! Katie! I have a great idea!!
P: what? And don't call me Katie
L: we should hang out sometime again!! It was so fun last time, with everyone.
P: Lance...
P: that's actually a good idea. Ok so what's the plan genius
L: ok so we should meet up, of course go get junk food and...hmm...
P: oh we could go to that new mall that opened up, there's a store detected just for your fav show.
L: YES! Voltron is the best and AHHHHHHH!! Season 8 literally killed me. I can't.
P: Ok back on topic.
L: Right right. Ok so we'll meet at the entrance of the store
P: 2pm-5pm on Wednesday? The weather's good
L:WHOO!! This is gonna be amazingggggg!!
P: ok you ask Hunk and Allura I'll ask Keith and Shiro if they could come
L: Sounds like a plan!
L: wait, where's the mall? 
P: (location)
L: Ok :)

I swipe out of her messages and find Hunk and Allura, texting them the address of the place and the time.

Hunk immediately responded back with the crying emoji and says he was busy helping his parents and volunteering the whole week.

'He's too nice for his own good', I chuckle, a sad smile on my face.

He promised to make it up to me the next time so I shrugged it off.

Allura reasoned as well, saying she had to help take care of Coran, because he was sick and she didn't know if she could make it or not.

Sending a 'get well soon' to Coran, I swipe out of her messages and go back to Katie.

P: Shiro says he has time, Keith didn't reply yet
L: Allura and Hunk can't make it :(((
P: Well that sucks.
L: yeah :((

After that text, I didn't get anything back until a few hours later.

P: oh Keith said he was free
L: great!

"Everything is gonna be perfect! AND I CAN FINALLY GIVE SHIRO HIS GIFT!!" I jumped up and down, grabbing his gift and wrapping it up.

I checked the calendar, seeing as it was only Friday, I had more time to get Keith and Katie gifts, since I haven't seen them for so long.

"What to get them..." I mumble, opening my computer.

After looking for what would be perfect, I ordered it and thankfully it would arrive before Wednesday.

~a couple days later~

"Just one more day!!" I was so excited, I was putting all the gifts in a bag and made sure everything was perfect.

My phone dinged, and I saw that Katie texted me.

P: oh we should meet in front of the mall instead.
L: sure? Idc much, JUST SO EXCITED!!
P: yeah I can tell
L: hehe
P: I'm out rn and don't wanna use data so tell Keith and Shiro
L: Ok

I swiped out of my message with Katie and into the group chat with Keith and Shiro.

L: We're meeting at the mall's entrance at 2pm tmr

After a couple of hours, Shiro responds in the group chat.

S: We are?
P: yeah, to hang out
S: oh

It wasn't till another 4 hour my phone dinged again.

S: Sorry, I can't make it tomorrow. I have to go to a doctors appointment about my arm, which I was reminded by Adam.
P: Hmm, Keith can you still go?

And then my phone was silent again.
I frowned. Then scoffed after looking at Katie's question.

"Of course not. He only goes if Shiro goes."

After an hour, I was confirmed right.

K: Sorry. I'm busy tmr
P: meh then we'll hang out next time

I shut my phone off, plopping onto my bed and covering myself with my bedsheets.

"Of course. It's because I mentioned something."
"Of course, They'll suddenly be busy."
"Right after I texted them."
"Of course it's me. It was always me."
"Just because I said something. It's my fault."
"They would have done this last time too."
"They always pushed me away."
"Always ignored my ideas."
"Always me."
"I was always the problem."
"Always my fault."
"Always."
"My."
"Fault."

I opened my phone, deleting all the photos I had of Shiro and Keith.

Before blocking their numbers, I sent them both a single text.

'Sorry. It was my fault.'

————————————

Vent, I guess. Not as bad as I write it to be, but it still hurts.

Sorry for not updating part 2 of Split and on Easter. I'll try to finish part 2 ASAP.

Don't at me for grammar mistakes, it's 2am rn so can't function normally. Also it's not long.
