TRIGGER WARNING: mention of sexual assault, mention of self-harm
___________________________________________
It was Saturday now. Keith was laying in his bed, tears streaming down his face. He pulled the blanket up to his face and began to cry into it. Another argument with Shiro. This week just continued to get worse and worse for Keith. Lance was still ignoring him and Shiro was constantly yelling at him. Keith couldn't keep up with it all, he was trying his hardest, but he just couldn't. The thing Keith needed the most right now wasn't there. The person that was supposed to love and take care of him wasn't doing his job. It was breaking Keith's heart.

How could Lance just ignore him like this? Keith did nothing wrong and he knew that. Lance went out of his way to avoid Keith in school, even skipping fourth hour. He better have a damn good reason to be acting like this, because it was ripping Keith apart limb by limb. All this arguing going on between Keith and Shiro made Keith feel so hopeless. He yearned for Lance's comfort, but Lance was no where to be found. Keith didn't know what was going through Lance's head, but he hated him for it. He hated him for acting so selfishly.

Shiro was a different story. Shiro was rude and pushy. All he ever did was pick fights with Keith. Keith could be peacefully sitting there and Shiro would nag at him. Keith didn't know what he did wrong half the time. Shiro was just stubborn and grumpy. No matter how many times Keith forgave him, he kept doing it. Shiro always found a way to piss off Keith so much to the point where he'd lock himself in his room and cry.

Keith was brought out of his thoughts when he heard his phone ring. He peered up from the sheets and grabbed his phone. Keith's mouth hung up when he saw that Lance was calling him. He didn't know if he should answer or let it ring out. Keith wanted to scream at Lance for being such a dick to him, but he also wanted Lance to feel the way he did. Being ignored like that hurt so bad. Keith figured he should answer now instead of giving Lance the opportunity to ignore him again.

"Hello?" Keith murmured as he held the phone to his ear, flopping back down on his bed.

"Hey, can we talk?" Lance asked. Keith noticed how tired he sounded. It was two o'clock, did he just wake up?

"About?" Keith sniffled, trying to dry his tears, but they kept coming. He has been crying for over an hour now. His tears showed no signs of letting up.

"Can I come get you?"

Keith wanted to scream yes, but he knew better. He knew better then to cave into Lance's stupid games. Lance didn't want to talk, he just wanted head. Keith wasn't going to fall for it. He was too hurt to be used right now. "No," Keith mumbled in objection.

"What? Why-are you crying?" Lance asked, finally noticing the sniffles and the tone in Keith's voice.

"Yes! Yes I'm fucking crying!" Keith yelled, his anger overflowing. He couldn't hold it back anymore. He was pissed, and he was going to let Lance know that. Lance promised he wouldn't pull this shit again and he did. Keith wasn't one to be fucked with like this, Lance should know this by now.

"Why? What's wrong?"

"What's wrong? You're a fucking asshole! That's what's wrong! I do nothing, but sit in my fucking room and cry because my older brother screams at me for nothing! And when I need you, you're not fucking there! You ghost me until you get horny and want something from me. Fuck you, Lance. I needed you and you weren't fucking there," Keith yelled, tears spilling from his indigo eyes. He pulled the blanket back up and sobbed into it.

Lance sat on the other line in silence. He didn't know what to say to make things better. He was still confused about what Lotor told him, and he didn't know what to do about that. Lance just wanted to talk to Keith about it and try to clear the air. He didn't expect Keith to be so upset. "Keith-"
