Help~ (Klance) //OLD//

Chapter 17

What happens when a wish comes true..?

in this story, nothing good. for now.

keith paused, seeing Lance. his heart ached with pain as he turned quickly to the car and kicked the window to pieces. He looked in and saw lance's father with a look a regret, fear, and.. triumph.. this was his goal.. he wanted his whole family dead- why did he want them dead!? Keith paused as he noticed he said that aloud.

Lance's father looked at Keith and his eyes narrowed, "I wanted them dead, because they are idiots who don't deserve to live" He growled. Keith felt anger burn inside his chest, but he said, in the calmest voice, "The only person you are describing, is yourself" He said, turning to walk towards Lance as sirens could be heard in the distance.

Keith watched in cold and frozen grief as the ambulance came,  picking up Lance and setting him on a portable bed. Keith felt numb, and had no thoughts, as he was lifted into the car.

a man, no more than 30, turned to Keith, "Come in, son. your friend will want some company" He said, then turned and began to chat with Shiro. Keith began walking, though it didn't feel like he was, and climbed into the back on the ambulance.

It was sort of spacious in the back, a seat hooked onto the side for anyone to sit on, right next to where the bed was to be fastened to. Keith sat on the chair and looked at lance's hands. He didn't want to look at lance's face. Anywhere but there. He didn't want to see him with his eyes closed, or with a bloody face, or worse.

Keith felt the Ambulance truck begin to move, and he reached out, holding onto Lance's hand. Keith felt tears well up in his eyes as he noticed how cold lance's hands were, and he quickly put both his hands on his, hoping to warm it. He bent down and rested his forehead on Lance's hand with a sob, Lance's father is a dead man. it's a good thing the police came and got him before we left. If I see him again, I'm gonna punch him. Keith thought, still sobbing.

"Hey.. mullet-man, why are you crying...?" 

Keith paused, looking up just a little to look at Lance. His face was slightly bloody with a small gash on his head, but otherwise it looked okay. Lance's eyes were open, and his mouth was bent in a frown. Keith just stared, tears filling up his eyes like a river flowing into a lake. Lance gently took hold of Keith's hand, though it was difficult with both of Keith's hands clenched desperately over it.

"Keith..?" Lance asked, concern lighting up his blue eyes, but it soon turned to Sadness, "Keith, I don't want my wish to come true" He said, choking out a sob. "Don't get me wrong, I love my mom, and I want to be with her, but not this soon! I don't want to die. I want to stay here with you, and Shiro, and Pidge and hunk! I want to be annoying, just enough for Pidge to start fighting with me, even you fighting with me! why can't my dad take a break! this is all so fricked up!" He sobbed out all his emotions, his tears flowed and painted the bed like it was a canvas.

Keith rested on the bed, still sitting on the chair, and kept lance's hand close to his heart. he began crying out loud, "Then you won't. I know you, you won't give up without a fight" Tears gently dripped down his cheeks as there was a moments pause before he felt Lance reach out with his other hand and mess with Keith's hair, trying to calm him down. "Calm down buddy.. it's alright" Lance soothed, chuckling, "I know I won't die. I have that feeling"

Keith stared at the hand that Lance had intertwined with Lance's before closing his eyes, "I'm sorry. you shouldnt have tried to save us though" Keith said, but he couldn't hear Lance's reply as he fell asleep to the feeling of the Ambulance stopping, and Lance playing with Keith's hair.
