Keith's pov

I pushed James off of me. He smirked, and ran towards his car.

That's when I noticed Lance standing in his doorway.

"Oh shit." I whispered.

I ran towards his house. I needed to explain. I needed him to understand.

He turned inside and slammed the front door. I felt tears well in my eyes, but kept running. I needed to talk to him.

I managed to stop myself before I crashed into the door. I pounded on the door, silently begging for someone to answer. When no one came to the door, I settled for texting Lance.

Keith_Kogane: lance, i can explain
Keith_Kogane: please babe, it wasnt what it looked like
Keith_Kogane: it was james, and he came onto me
Keith_Kogane: i pushed him off as soon as he kissed me
Keith_Kogane: please answer me lance

I called him mulitple times, never getting a response.

At this point, tears were streaming down my face. I knocked on the door some more, hoping someone would come to answer the door.

After about 10 minutes of knocking, and pleading for someone to open the door, it finally opened.

I looked to see who it was. Veronica was standing there with her arms crossed.

"Veronica! Oh thank god. I was knocking for forever, but no one was coming to the door. I really need to talk to La-"

She stepped forward and grabbed the collar of my shirt. "How dare you. Lance really cared about you!"

She shoved me back, letting go of my collar. I stumbled back.

"Please, let me explain Veronica! See, James was-"

She scoffed. "It was James? That's even worse. I can't believe you. I thought you were ok, Keith."

"Please..." I pleaded. "I need to explain. It wasn't what it looked like!"

"It's too late Keith. You've already fucked up. Just go."

I could tell she was pissed just by her expression. I sighed, putting my hands up.

"Fine." I said, voice cracking. "I'll go."

I turned, holding back a sob. I walked back to my house, trying to keep myself from losing it in the middle of the street. It would have to wait until I got home.

I finally reached my porch. I turned back to look at the house of who I guessed was now my ex-boyfriend.

My eyes wandered up to Lance's window. He was looking out, and right at me. He was a mess. As soon as he noticed me looking, he closed the curtains.

I sighed, walking into the house.

How could I have messed up this badly?

I slammed the door behind me, and practically ran up to my room, ignoring Shiro's calls.

I locked myself in my room, turning on my speaker. I usually felt better listening to music. It wouldn't make me feel completely better. The only thing that could make me feel completely better was Lance. But that definitely wasn't going to happen anytime soon.
