Third POV

"Her name what's so special about that?" Keith questioned Lance, but he didn't answer. He just had his head tucked in his knees refusing to talk. "This is pointless. Let's just go in and ask her."

"No. She sounds very upset, one of us should go." Shiro stated.

"I vote Hunk." Allura beamed up and Coran agreed. It was all decided that Hunk should be the one to help Pidge.

"What about Lance then?" Hunk was typing away trying to unlock Pidge's door.

"I'll talk to him." Shiro said. The door unlocked and before Hunk entered he took a deep breath.

The room felt like it was filled with sadness and Pidge was just curled up into a ball on the floor, leaning on her bed crying. Hunk has never seen her so sad before. He approached with caution, almost as if he was scared that she would lash out at any moment.

"Shhh Pidge, it's ok" he rubbed circles on her back as a way to calm her down, but she just kept on going. "What's wrong?" And that's when Pidge's cries starting sounding like screams. Hunk could've sworn his heart just broke in two from just watching her like this.

Pidge on the other hand was reliving the memories she tried to forget. She kept seeing her dad, Kenneth, call her names and things that she wasn't, but she believed it well, because she was only the age of 3 when her dad told her these things so she had thought that they were right. She canceled out everything after Lance had said it until she heard Hunk.

She was still crying, just quieter. Hunk was telling her "it's going to be ok." Or "what's wrong?". Lance knew and he was going to tell everyone else pretty soon, so she decided why not tell Hunk the full story. Tell Hunk about Katherine, but when she went to go say something it came out in Italian.

Hunk looked at her confused, he didn't know she could speak another language.

"Pidge?"

She looked at him as she was upset because he couldn't understand her. It's like she just forgot how to speak on English since she was originally for Italy till the age of 12. So she couldn't really speak in English all that well, but she found a way. She paused giving thought on what she was going to say and how to say it.

"Er I am not um o kay." She struggled saying the words but in the end Hunk understood.

"What just happened?"

"I er speak Italian because. I am from Italy." She said her words clearer this time.

"Ok then, what's wrong."

"It's me."

"What about you, Lance said it was you name." Pidge glared at him when he said the name Lance. "Ok I won't bring him up again." Hunk mumbled.

"My name. Pidge is just a nickname."

"I remember you told us. Matt gave it to you."

"Correct. Um I have two real names."

"Two? One in Italian and the other in English?"

"No. One given by Kenneth Russo and the other Sam Holt."

"Who's Kenneth?"

"My birth father."

"Isn't Sam your dad."

"He is after my mom divorced Kenneth."

"Ok then, what are the names."

"The name my mom calls me is Katie." She started tearing up again. "And my birth name is Katherine."

"It's a pretty name, why don't you like it."

"Because it's the name that terrible man called me!"

"Oh no, Pidge did he- what did he do."

"He called me names and said I should die, then when I turned 5 he started hitting me...... only because I wasn't born a boy!" She broke out in tears and Hunk could help but cry a little himself.

"Oh Pidge, I'm so sorry!" He hugged Pidge and held her close.

"No one knew either. That devil did it when no one could see it. He never even acknowledged me before! I grew up being hated and thought it was love!"

"I am so sorry." Hunk held her tighter, he was now crying his eyes out.

"But it doesn't get better. My mom found someone else after the divorce and we moved to America. When we got there she got married and I never seen her so happy before. It was a little difficult learning a new language but as you can hear I did well." She chuckled.

"But that sounds great, what's wrong with that!"

"It's because now there was bullies. I no longer grew up with the people at school, everyone seemed to hate me there. And not a two years later Matt and dad disappeared along with Shiro. I felt so lost, everything that ever been good in my life was lost. My mom went mute and barely cooked or ate, you could've even thought she was dead. I was the one who enrolled me to the Garrison and now we're in space and she probably thinks I'm dead too!"

"She'll be fine, she's strong just like her daughter."

"Her daughter is weak and useless."

"Don't day that about yourself."

"Why, he did. And I believed him." She cried louder.

"Ok enough is enough. We're going to leave this room, and the rest of us are going to cheer you up. You won't have to talk to Lance unless your ready, but both of you will make up soon. After that your going to feel great and amazing about yourself and no one is going to tell you otherwise! Got it?"

"Ok."

"And as I'm going to be watching over you, if you get the slightest bit sad I will go to all lengths just to make you happy even if it means getting killed for dressing Keith up as a cowboy." He exclaimed, and Pidge giggled.

"If that is not enough we'll tie Lance up to the ceiling and act like he's an piñata, or have a fashion show for the mice and if you really wanted to we could code a video game. If your not happy no one is and we'll just bug you all day by wearing glasses. So you miss are not allowed to be sad this following week! Come on, we'll start with a tickle fight!"

"Hunk of you tickle me I swear it's the end." She threatened him. But he only ignored her by starting the fight. "Stop- it!" She laughed out loud.

Shiro and the others listened from out the door.
"Sounds like she's better. Now for you Lance." Shiro said.

"Hunk is amazing. I only make things worse." Lance sighed.

"Don't day that about yourself."

"Also Hunk is an angel everybody knows that." Keith stated and everyone agreed.

A/N:
Just needed a little Hunk in our lives today cause that last chapter was depressing and the beginning of this one too. I'm sorry about that. Next chapter will be after the Café Planet book. Bye~
