"PIDGE!" She winced at the sudden noise through her phone's speaker. "Hunk, hey, why are you calling me at 4 in the morning?" Hunk was noticeably breathing heavily. "Pidge, can-can you get her quickly please? W-We don't know what happened but Lance just started freaking out and locked himself in his room. Keith, Shiro, and I have been trying to calm him down but he's not letting us in. WE NEED HELP. GET DOWN HERE ASAP!" With that he hung up.

Pidge gulped, 'Poor Lance. I wonder what's causing this?' She gets out of bed, slips on her coat, and drives over to the apartment the four boys shared together. Once she got to the building, she let herself in, having already been given a key weeks ago.

"Pidge! Thank quiznak! He's still not letting us in." She nodded and walked up to the door. Pidge knocked on the door, "Lance, it's Pidge. Can I come in?" He opened the door quickly, pulling the girl in before closing the door right behind her.

She softly spoke, as to not set him off, "Lance, can you tell me what's causing this?" He gulped as he paced the room, "I'm just gonna say it. I'm useless, okay? I-I don't have a real job, I just go out and take orders from people that actually do things, I hardly ever pay rent here, my last girlfriend broke up with me because she had a better paying job than I did and she was an intern. I have no talents, no one really likes me, you guys just keep me around because I, at the very least try to make things funny and you all feel bad for me-"

Pidge huffed, "Lance! None of that is true! We keep you around because we love you, I know the guys don't mind you barely paying rent because they know you work your butt off everyday to get better and hopefully get hired by someone else to do something you enjoy. We know how much you struggle with everything but we know you try. You are so talented. You can sing, you can dance, you have a great sense of humor, you're an amazing artist, and you got all of us to get out of our antisocial bubbles. You are amazing Lance, you have done so much for all of us around here and you don't even know it. Just take a moment and remind yourself to calm down. I know you feel like we don't like you or something but we do. So much. Don't ever let others tell you or let yourself think otherwise."

Lance sniffled, now trying not to let sobs overrun his body. "Lance, it's okay, you can let it out. Just lay down." He complied and fell apart as soon as his head hit the pillow. Pidge stroked his hair, comforting the boy, until her eyes caught onto something in the corner of the room. "Lance, wait here just a second." She walked over to the guitar and began tuning it. Once it was ready she sat back down next Lance.

"Hey

Don't write yourself off yet

It's only in your head you feel left out or looked down on

Just try your best

Try everything you can

And don't you worry what they tell themselves when you're away

It just takes some time

Little girl, you're in the middle of the ride

Everything, everything will be just fine

Everything, everything will be all right

Hey

You know they're all the same

You know you're doing better on your own so don't buy in

Live right now

Just be yourself

It doesn't matter if that's good enough for someone else

It just takes some time

Little girl, you're in the middle of the ride

Everything, everything will be just fine

Everything, everything will be all right

It just takes some time

Little girl, you're in the middle of the ride

Everything, everything will be just fine

Everything, everything will be all right

Hey

Don't write yourself off yet

It's only in your head you feel left out or looked down on

Just do your best

Do everything you can

Don't you worry what their bitter hearts are going to say

It just takes some time

Little girl, you're in the middle of the ride

Everything, everything will be just fine

Everything, everything will be all right

It just takes some time

Little girl, you're in the middle of the ride

Everything, everything will be just fine

Everything, everything will be all right"

Pidge looked down at Lance and saw he was soundly asleep. She smiled, put the guitar back and with a kiss to his head, she swiftly left the room.

Right as she closed the door, she was bombarded with questions from the boys. "How did you get him asleep?" "Where'd you learn to sing like that?" "What was he freaking out about?" She sighed, "Boys, calm down. I won't tell you entirely why Lance was upset because I feel like that's his to tell. But I'll tell you this, as soon as he wakes up, you guys tell him everything you love about him and how much you love him. He really needs it." They all nod and watch her walk out the door without another word.
