Buck sat on the hood of his car, parked in a parking lot at the park. Some Kids were playing, some parents and adults sat on benches talking, but Buck only felt guilt.

"Hey." Buck turned on the hood, seeing Eddie stood there, leaning against his car before walking on over and leaned backwards on the car what Buck sat on, "What you doing here?"

"How could I never notice?" Buck mumbled.

"You're Sister?" Eddie questioned.

"How could I never notice about her boyfriend? I'm her fucking brother." Buck mumbled.

"A fucking brother who was 9 at the time. What could you have done?" Eddie questioned.

"I-I don't know, Man." Buck mumbled.

"Hey Dude, I'm happy on how far you've came int he past day. You're actually opening up." Eddie said, nudging Buck's knee them both chuckling softly.

"Yeah. What are you doing here anyway?" Buck asked.

"I was on my way to the school from the firehouse, when I saw you here and stopped to talk." Eddie said.

"School?" Buck questioned.

"Yeah, my Kid goes there."

"You have a Kid?" Buck asked.

"Yep. Christopher." Eddie said.

"School got out 5 minutes ago. Need a ride?" Buck asked, hoping into his car, Eddie smiled.

"That would be nice." Eddie said, hoping in the passenger side, Buck driving of, "Thanks."

"No problem, Dude." Buck said, when he pulled up outside of the school, Eddie smiled at him before jumping out of the car and walking through some doors, Buck watched when Eddie smiled at a male man and pulled a young boy on crutches into a hug.

Buck smiled slightly, when the two of them came outside.

"Hey, Diaz. I'll give you a ride back to your home." Buck shouted, while Eddie smiled.

"Hey Chris, this is Buck." Eddie said, crouching beside Christopher, who smiled.

"Hi Buck." Chris said, while Buck smiled.

"Hey Buddy." Buck said, watching when Eddie put Chris into the back seat, Eddie then hoping into the passenger seat, "I am gonna need an address you know."

"Right." Eddie said, while Buck only gave a soft but weak chuckle, wincing when he looked down at his wrist then he knocked it.

"How's your wrist?" Eddie asked, pointing for him to drive down a streat so Buck did.

"Alright. Think its healing." Buck mumbled.

"You sure? Seemed like it had been hurting." Eddie said, "I mean, I would be suprised if it isn't."

Buck pulled up outside of a house, when Eddie told him to pull up.

"Come on, why don't you come in and we can check it?" Eddie asked.

"No, it's okay Diaz. It only happed 2 or 3 days ago, it won't be healed fully yet, plus I can get I checked out with Hen or Chimney tommorow." Buck said.

"Alright." Eddie said, already out of the car and Chris beside him, "But, get home safe. You look exhausted."

"I'll be fine Eddie. See ya Bud." Buck shouted through the open window.

"Bye Buck." Chris said, Buck smiling at the two and gave a slight wave and sped of down the streat.

Buck kept his eyes focused on the road, although he knew for a fact that when he gets home he's dead.
