chapter 6
"Lance go find Shiro and Matt." Keith was still staring at the door. Scared that if he looked away for even a second, that Lotor would be there with Lance in his arms.
"I'm not leaving you here Keith."
"Go get them. Please Lance. I'll know you're safe with them, just please." Lance walked to the kitchen.
He would be lying if he said he was going to find the two. He was actually going to the kitchen to grab one of the knifes Keith uses for steak.
He walked back to Keith and stood next to him. "Lance I told you-" Now Keith was looking at him. Lance, however, was staring at the door.
"This is my fight. He is here for me. I'm staying." Keith sighed. "Fine."
Another knock. "Lance. Cmon babe. It's just me."
Knock. Knock.
"Open this door Lance. You know what happens if you don't."
Knock. Knock.
The second one was harder.
"I don't want to have to get your father."
Lance tensed at that. He had a great father, sure. But his dad loved Lotor. And his dad was scary when mad. Or drunk.
Lance took a deep breath and shook his head. He's not gonna let Lotor get to him.
Knock. Knock.
"I have him on speed dial. He's at the bar right now. You know what that means, don't you?"
Lance gripped the handle of the knife tighter and took another deep breath. Lotor will have to try harder than that.
That's when he heard the voice. The voice of his father. It was muffled, but Lotor had the speaker pressed against the door on full volume so that Lance could hear every word.
"Lotor? It's so good to hear from you again. I'm at the bar right now. Is everything ok? I don't need to come get Lance, do I?"
Lance was freaking out now. His dad is definitely drunk, and will definitely be mad if he has to leave.
Lance dropped the knife. He grabbed Keith out of habit and moved closer.
"Actually sir. Lance won't let me in. I asked nicely but he's saying that he loves someone else."
Lotor was a lying, little bratt. How dare he try and play the victim.
"So he's a cheating sneak now? I can't believe him. After everything you've done for him. For our family." Lance could hear the sigh.
"I'll send you the address. He's at someone else's house."
Lance looked at Keith. "We need to leave. Me, you, Hunk and the others. We all need to leave. My dad will rip this place apart. He won't hurt me, that's not like him, but he's drunk and mad, he'll hurt everyone else."
Keith nodded and grabbed Hunk. Pulling the three into Shiro's room. "We need to go."
Keith woke Shiro up. He was sick and asleep with Matt but this was no time to relax.
"Huh." Matt was sitting up and rubbing his eyes. "What's going on." His voice was slurred and raspy.
"Lotor is here and Lance's dad is on the way. We need too... oh shit." It was too late. The door was banged on.
Lance pushed the four out the window. "Go I'll be fine." He closed and locked it before Keith could argue.
He was yelling and banging on the window. Lance kissed his hand and put it on the window then left.
He took a deep breath and opened the door. "Hi dad." His voice was small. Lance felt small. Even though he was 6ft.
"How dare you go to another boys house! Lotor is perfect for you! And this is how you repay him!" They were inside now.
"Whose house is this!" Lance looked down.
"There's no one here. It's just me." Lotor walked up to Lance and put a hand on his lower back.
"Babe, why did you lie to me?" Of course. Lotor is acting all sweet, but once they're alone, Lance's life is gonna be a living hell.
Lance didn't really think pushing Keith and the others out the window. They easily could walk through the front door.
Which they did. Well Keith more or less ran. "Lance!" Lance looked behind him to see Keith running towards him.
"Keith!" Lance wasn't thinking. He just wanted to be away from Lotor and his father. So he ran. He ran to Keith. He ran as fast as he could.
Which is pretty fast. They hugged. It was tight. Almost like they hadn't seen each other in decades. "You were supposed to run!"
Keith just hugged Lance tighter. "I'm not leaving you behind. I love you." Keith was crying. Apparently Shiro and Matt had to calm him down. He was freaking out saying that Lance was gonna die.
"Lance Charles McClain! What is this!"
Lance and Keith stopped hugging. Well Lance stopped hugging, Keith was still clinging on to him like he would disappear.
"You are a whore! You are not my son!" He was walking closer now.
"Dad."
"No! Do not call me that! You're out! Out of my house and out of my family!"
Thats when it happened. He hit him. He finally hit him. Lance couldn't process what just happened.
His father never hit him. He was crying. Crying because that's how he knew. He knew is father was serious.
He looked at Lotor. "You. You've ruined everything. You made me cut off my family! Cut ofd my friends! Made my life miserable! Then when I finally get away from you, you hurt my boyfriend, attack him, make my dad hate me, and act lime you're heartbroken! You never loved me! You never will! You liked the idea of me! Liked the idea of dating someone who would do everything you said! Someone who you could control like a puppet! But that's over now. We are over. We have been over! But you can't get that through your head. I love Keith! I love my family! All I have is Keith! You can try to take him away from me! But I promise you this, I will never let you win."
Then he walked away. Lance just walked away. He grabbed Keith's hand and pulled him away, Shiro, Matt and Hunk following close behind.
He didn't know where they were going. Most likely to the car. Maybe they would hang out with Pidge. Maybe they'd go get something to eat.
He didn't care. All he wanted to get away from everyone.
