Chapter 1

A new day:
I woke up in my bed not ready for the day. I've been struggling lately. Dads super worried but I'm fine, I'm just lonely. I've been out of high school for a while now. And even collage, I just can't find a good job.
My dad is the fire chief of the 118. I've been there a couple times and dad has tried to hire me but I'm too worried I'm not mentally fit for that job.
I'm just so sick of being alone. And no one understands, all they say is I'm overreacting. No one cares. I'm afraid I will never find love.

Today I have to go to the 118 to help clean because they've been so busy lately it's just a big mess. Today was hard for me to get out of bed but I got ready and headed over.

Once I arrived at the 118 I saw the trucks were still parked which meant that I would have to be social. Which I'm not good at whatsoever.

I walked in and saw dad. I haven't seen him in 3 weeks. He walks over and says "honey why haven't you called. I don't like just texts I need to hear your voice." He then hugs me tight. "Y/n. Please. You need to get out of that house. It makes you so sick and not mentally fit for anything." I start to cry once I hear him say that. I knew he wasn't doing it to hurt me. It was for the better, and I knew that. That's why I started to cry even more.

"I'm sorry dad. I'll try harder. I promise"

My dad starts to sniffle and finally lets me go out of the hug. I look up and see buck staring at me.

I've known buck for awhile now. He's like my dads other son, but not really a brother to me. If that makes sense.

I walk away from dad and head to the laundry room. I start to separate the blacks and colored clothes form each-other to start a load of laundry.

I feel these hands grab my shoulders and turn me around to hug me. I hug this person back so tight, this hug is one of the best hugs I've ever had. I grab the hair and realize it's buck.

"Buck?"
He grabs tighter.
"I'm hugging you because I know you need it. Y/n, please come work for us. You're an amazing firer fighter. And it would be for the best, plus I'll be here and everyone else here will support you too! Please y/n"

"Buck" I pull away from the hug and we both sit. "Buck, I can barely get out of bed in the mornings. How the fuck would I be able to help save others??"

"You can do it. I'll even come pounding on your door in the morning if I need too! Just please come here y/n"

"Ok, I'll try it. Just promise to help buck"

"I promise"

The next morning~
"Call to Bobby"
-dad?
-Y/n?
-I'm ready to come to work. Or at least I will try.
-okay honey. Your first shift starts today!
-okay! Love u
-love u
"Call ended"

I get ready and text buck telling him I'm awake so he doesn't come pounding on my door.
I get in my suite and put my hair in a little bun in the back. My heart already starts to race.

I arrive at the 118 and dad smiles when he sees me.
I walk upstairs to go have breakfast with everyone. Except there's only one person missing. Buck. Where is Buck? He's supposed to be here for me.

"Dad, wheres buck?" I asked
"He wasn't feeling well sweetie" hen said to me.
"Oh" I reply with a sigh of worry
We get our first call
I get in the engine and look out the window to see the jacket that says Buckley still hanging. I have a feeling this call isn't going to be a good one. We arrive at the apartments and walk upstairs.
I hear bucks voice
"Help" I hear him cry out
When I turned around the corner to see him doing compressions on this old lady my heart suddenly felt lighter. I still am worried about the lady, just happy to see it's not Buck.
We help the lady and the paramedics take her to the hospital.
Once we're done I see Buck walk out and he comes over to me.
"Hey, how you feelin?" I say
"Fine, I still am not feeling too well. I feel kin of light headed" he replies with.
"Do you want me to give you a check up really quick. Because if I don't and something happens to you I will suffer with that forever." I say
"Well then, give me a check of please" he says with a smile

I check his vitals and everything, he seems to be fine. Maybe just a normal cold after all.
"Well Buckley, you seem to have just a normal cold" I said with a smile
"Good, hopefully you're first day is going good! I definitely will be back tmr to celebrate with you!" He hugs me tight while saying that.
"Bye Buck."
"Bye"

We arrive back at the station. I already am worried about Buck. I have no clue why though, we're not dating. And I don't like him like that. I think..

Maybe I do like Buck.

Do I?

Would he even like me back?

Who knows....
