"Tell me, love is endless, don't be so pretentious
Leave me, like you do"

Four months had passed, Eddie and Buck had made no attempt in contacting each other - because of this, they figured that there relationship was basically over.
       And of course, Eddie once he was released from prison -  after a three month sentence for aggravated assault had to explain why all of Bucks things where gone and why he hadn't even seen Buck in the last four months.
Eddie hadn't been back to work either, as a course of his three months in jail - the LAFD commissioners decided that it would be best for Eddie to have a five month suspension, while Buck walked free to come back to work whenever he felt up to it and when his wrist healed - of course, that only took just over two months to heal then another month to get it back up-to strength.

     "When's Buck coming back? I miss him being here all the time" Chris huffed as he messed with his food.
Eddie felt as if he was dealing with a moody teenager, even if Chris was only ten - he sure did have an attitude ever since Eddie got back.

"Chris..." Eddie warned, looking up from his phone. "You know what's happened and I don't think he wants to come back. And stop messing with your food"

"I'm not hungry anymore" Chris snapped.

"Don't talk to me like that Chris, you know how to behave" Eddie warned again, sitting up slightly.

"You don't care! If Buck was here everything would be alright and you wouldn't be like this! I hate you dad!" Chris screamed, pushing the plate off of the table.
Eddie flinched slightly when the plate smashed against the wooden floor of there kitchen.

"Christopher Diaz! You get to your room right now" Eddie snapped back - pointing in the direction of Chris's bedroom.

"My pleasure" Chris rolled his eyes as he quickly jumped down from the stool, before making his way as quickly as possible to his room.

Eddie watched his son walk away before he started to clean up the mess on the floor - of course the pieces of plate caught his hand making him bleed.

Eddie knew after cleaning up that he would have to speak to Chris, and talk about what was going on with him and Buck - but he didn't want to break his poor kids heart. After all, Buck was Chris's.

"Sorry, can't save me now
Sorry, I don't know how"

"Buck" Eddie gasped out as he reached for his phone.
