We land in Seattle ready to explore the city, and participate in our first pride parade with Simon being gay and all. We go through the airport and I spot my secret boyfriend Liam. We have been dating secretly for the past three years. We met when I was 13, he was 16 and well three years later I am thankful for Liam's best friend Camillo
who happens to have a brother my age. I would not have thought that he would ever introduce us. Liam grabs my hand and says hello to my brother and we get out on the road.

We arrive at Liam's house, where we are just gonna stay and leave our baggage behind. In the house we meet Liam's twin brother Lucas, say hi to him and leave for the fire station where Liam's mom is working. When we arrive at the station the whole team is there. "Welcome to Station 19, these are my coworkers Andy Herrera, Jack Gibson, Vic Hughes, Ben Warren, Travis Montgomery and Robert Sullivan" says Maya Bishop. "Is mama at the hospital?" Liam asks. "Yeah, she is. Do you guys have any plans?" asks Ben. "Yeah or not Liam, he is gonna stay here and train but me and Mr Gay over here are going to the pride parade. " Leah says. "Have fun!" everyone says, and me and Simon are on foot to the center and the parade.

We are having a good time, going to the parade, and Simon gets to meet people that are like him. Both gay and also some with catholic and religious parents like us. Then all of a sudden I hear a shot. A gunshot. More gunshots. I see a bullet that is coming for my brother and I instinctively jump in front of him. Call me dumb but at that moment all I could think about was that my brother is not going to die alone, I am gonna die with you if I have to.

At the fire station over the radio.
Calling in all units. Gunshots at the center. Two down. One girl and one boy. All units respond.
Station 19 answering we are on the way.
Maya, Vic og Andy look at each other, and at Liam that are in the training room.
"I hope those two kids are not someone he knows," says Vic.

The firefighters get to the scene. There are both police, ambulances and fire fighters there and Montgomery takes the ambulance with the boy in. He shouts out to Maya "It is them, both Leah and Simon, someone has to alert Liam now!" The ambulance takes off to the hospital, to Grey Memorial Hospital.

At the hospital

When the ambulance gets to the hospital Liam is there and watches the love of his life go into surgery.  Liam rings Camillo and tells him to speak with his father so he can call Pascale and tell her that this is bad and that they have to get down here asap.

Both Leah and Simon are in surgery, and they have a lot of injuries. They have been on the table for almost 24 hours, and the whole grid has now gathered together to support the Leclerc- family.
