"He was right"i whisper after reading the letter, i hand it over to pidge and get closer to his body. Eyelids open showing the cold they held of death, his skin pale, his lips....curled into a small smile. I reach up to close his eyes, they scare me...not because they held death in them.

Because his eyes always look like this, they always looked cold, and hurt. We never noticed, we never helped. We insulted him, threw him down every time he wanted to get back up.

I put my fingers on his eyelids and pull them down till they cover his eyes, that hadn't changed.

"We...are terrible people"pidge says. I nod my head and just stare at the cold body in front of me, pidge goes to the other side of lance and i turn around to see hunk now reading the letter, tears already streaming down all our faces.

"This cant happen again"i whisper as my eyes meet lance. I scan his body, blood oozing from the hole in his head, skin so cold you wouldn't have believed he was alive yesterday. My eyes travel down one of his arms to the bayard that lays in his hands. The gun must have turned back into its original form. His scent that smells like rose perfume is all that is attacking my nose.

The smell used to bother me so much, i would always complain tell him to wash it off, but i don't mind it so much now. Soon hunk is by his side too. The letter is read by coran, shiro, and allura. As soon as they read it they join us on the floor around his body.

"We have to make a stop at earth" i hear allura whisper. We all nod knowing that we won't be makeing a stop to see our family's...but to deliver the terrible news.

"I'll tell them, they know who i am. They trust me."hunk says from the opposite side of lance.

"What should we do with him"i hear pidge ask.

"We should put him in a coffin for now...let his family choose"i hear shiro say.

"Why don't we get to choose, we are his family too"i say from the opposite side of lance.

"We made him commit suicide!"hunk yells.

"We didn't treat him like family, we treated him like dirt! So no, we don't get to choose what happens with him." Hunk finishes. We are all in silence after that, hunk never yells...but we all are feeling pain, no one could comprehend what hunk is feeling right now, he knew lance the longest.

The travel back to earth was full of silence, i would visit lances room, his body is kept in there, inside a coffin. The room is pretty bland besides a bed, and pictures he had drew of his family and of us. He was an amazing artist.

I just go inside his room and sit by the box containing his body, and just talk, about whats happening on the ship, about how much i miss him. If he could hear me i bet he got tired of me repeating myself.

When we finally made it to earth, hunk pointed the way to lances old home. Me and shiro carried the casket behind hunk as he walk out to the front door.

He nocked and once it opened you saw mrs.mclain, and one of lances sisters.

"Hunk! Your alright, after the garrison announced your dissapearence we were all so worried about you and lance."mrs.mclain said.

"Ma'am about that, lance, he uh....he finally got his dream, to go to space"hunk said looking to the side, i watch the looks of his family become happy for their son/brother. I felt guilt crawl up my back, we killed one of the most precious things to this women.

"Is he alright? When'd he go? Why did the garrison tell us he was missing?"his sister asks questions at rapid spead. Hunk looks back at lances family tears in his eyes.

"He fought in a war, he was the best out of all of us...we were just to blind to see it"hunk says, his voice starting to break up. Lances family's faces turn to worry and the two women hug each other, i feel warm liquid fall down my own face.

"Is he alright"his mother whispers out.

"After enduring a lot of miss treatment...he commuted suicide. We brought his body here for you to decide what to do with it"hunk says and moves to the side so that they could see the coffin. His mother walks to the side and lifts up the lid to reveal the blue boy who looks like he was sleeping.

She lets out a sob and falls to the ground.

"Here's his letter"i say and hand the piece of paper he wrote on to his sister. She looks at the paper for a minute before opening it.

"We are very sorry"says shiro.

Finally the time of the funeral came, we were allowed to come, but we all got glares of hatred. They decided to cremate him and let him rest in the ocean. Finally the funeral was over, there was not one dry eye. We got to stay one extra day to see our family's. I sat by the ocean, i talked to it like it was lance. Before we left i put some water into a tiny jar (about the size of a pinky) and wrapped a chain around it. I slid the chain over my neck and felt the tiny jar nock against my heart, now lance could be with me.

I would have stayed with you for days, just to save you from yourself...no just to save you from us.
