~At the farm of the McClain's~
No one's POV
Lance stood in the garden that laid by the farmhouse which held all sorts of animals. He was planting those lovely pink altean flowers that Allura loved and grew up with.
Allura...
The person or shall he say alien he can never get his mind off of ever since she passed. He can't wake up without being reminded of her, due to the marks she had left on his face. They glowed a light blue when his mood changed once in a while.
As he was tending the flowers he has heard footsteps behind him and then stop. As he slowly turned he saw Katie Holt.....his Pidge. At least that is what he wanted.
He and Katie never dod get together. He has been wanting to tell her that his feelings have drifted towards her direction and that she is always on his mind.
She stood there with her white lab coat and clear rimmed glasses that fit her face frame perfectly. Her hair fluffed out a bit due to it being a bit windy outside, but god was she beautiful. Lance wished he had a camera with him to capture this moment and hold it close to his chest so he would never forget what she looked like in this moment.
"Katie, hi!" He smiled widely looking at the girl as he slowly made his way up from the soiled dirt ground. His jeans covered in a dark brown on the knees and he had a little dirted white apron on holding a spade and hoe. "What are you doing here?" He asked looking at the girl with raised eyebrows.
"I came to talk..." Her voice toned low and whispered, and if she talked any quieter it would have been taken by the wind. "It's important." She looked directly into his eyes and her eyes were glassy as if someone took a shiny nail polish top coat and painted over her glass eyes.
A tear ended up slipping and she didn't even bother to wpe it away. Lance looked concerned and put his hands on his friend's shoulders, gripping them tightly. "Hey, what's wrong?" He took his thumb and wiped away that one little stray tear.
His heart was chipping at the site of his best friend crying. She was breaking slowly....or maybe this was her breaking point. After all these years of being pushed to the side, after being put to the side for an altean princess. She couldn't take it anymore. All those nights of waking up from nightmares of either Lance dying or Lance leaving her for someone else. She couldn't hold it together anymore.
She clenched her fists and then released them, slowly removing Lance's hands from her shoulders and moving his hands to the side of himself.
"I can't....." She started. "I can't keep living my life knowing I can't have you."
Lance's heart still chipping slowly. "What?"
"I'm tired of waking up every single night.....every single night thinking you're dead or gone with someone else. Or that you aren't by my side. "
Lance's eyes widened.
"I'm tired of not letting you go.......not letting you leave my mind."
She was crying now. She didn't care though because at least she was speaking the truth to the young man in front of her.
"I have to learn how to move on........move on from loving you in secret."
"I have to let you go in the end...because we aren't meant for each other and you know this."
"Katie......."
"It was her...."
"......"
"It was her you were meant for......not me"
She sniffed and breathed in and out slowly.
"I'm like one of your flowers......I'm there for a couple days and then I slowly fade away from your view and eventually nothing is left of the flower and you don't care or even notice....because there are so many more flowers in the garden....."
Lance's heart broke on the spot at these very words. The girl who has been on his mind for these past years has just confessed she loved him all this time but wants to move on.
"But Katie, I love you so much....I was just too scared to say it"
She looked at him with pain in her eyes. "Well....I'm sorry then."
"I also came to drop this off"
She set down a box.
She looked at Lance with her teary eyes. "Goodbye Lance."
She turned around and walked away.
Lance had tears escaping his eyes as he kneeled down to pick up the small box only to open it and find a picture. A picture of the two when they first started learning together in the Garrison.
He wished he could turn back time and change everything.
Because he just lost his Pidge.
