Lance didn't get a call for a week from Lotor and he didn't bother calling either. Lance didn't know what he would say, if Lotor would listen, care even.
He sat on the porch in the middle of the day looking at the iPhone Lotor gave him. Maria got a job, McDonald's but it's a job at least. But lance counted down the days Maria would be leaving for an apartment. Maria would be gone all day but when she got home the kids left, Dani would take them to the park, Allura and shiro let them sleep over more often and even at hunks. Maria would yell at lance to let her see her children, she'd shove him and scream, cussing in Spanish. Lance wasn't telling the kids to leave or to stay, he let them choose, but he took the blame.
"Hey kiddo," Luis walked outside. Veronica finally came back with Luis last night as Luis had a black eye but Veronica said she had to pick him up in Michigan to bail him from jail. Lance didn't look at his oldest brother as Luis never mentioned the night lance got beat to a pulp.
"Come on lance what got your panties in a twist?" Luis sat next to him holding a beer out to share with lance.
"Oh thanks," lance smiled taking the beer then chucked it in the street with a grunt as it shattered.
"God dammit lance," Luis groaned as the younger brother lit a cigarette.
"Will you knock it off with the smokes? Those are going to kill you," Luis grabbed the cigarette from lances lips.
"Good. Guess I better start making a will," Lance snarked grabbing it back.
"Go away," he spat.
"Why did I hear glass breaking?" Veronica walked outside quickly.
"Your still here? Thought you were with Marco," lance glared standing up.
"Wait why are you mad at me? What did Luis do too?" Veronica crossed her arms confused as Luis looked at lance wide eyes.
"Which should I go first? Abandonment? Well don't worry you both can share that one," lance laughed shaking his head.
"I'm sorry I've been busy!" Veronica cried.
"You didn't even know moms back!" Lance yelled back.
"Moms back?" Luis asked slowly.
"Yea with another fucking baby! And guess who has to raise that guy? Not you!" Lance raised his voice again.
"Hey just calm down," Veronica gulped walking to him.
"Sorry I'm a little stressed out," lance hissed with a glare.
"Talk to me bud, I'm sorry I haven't been around but I'm back," Veronica put a hand on his shoulder.
"Wow you sound like mom," lance scoffed.
"Just... talk to us?" Veronica asked softly.
"Wow where should I start? Fact that I have to raise another kid? That I might have to start selling our furniture cause my stupid pay checks aren't going to cut it if I'm the only one making money? That dads been gone all week? Mom is constantly screaming at me then telling me how I'm such a good kid? That my oldest brother let me get the shit beat out of me then left? My fucking boyfriend left me cause he found out I was lying?!" Lance gripped the sides of his head as he held his hair.
"Or how about when I'm waking up like I was being choked and not the fun kind!" He cried out with rage in his voice.
The two where in shock at what lance let out before he could even stop himself. He wanted to leave. Run. Get out of their sights.
