My Everything

Chapter 2: How Dare You

TW: Small cursing and mention of a panic attack

Maddie's POV:

I cannot believe what Buck told me yesterday. That's my brother, I feel like this is somehow my fault. It's my job to look after Buck and make sure he is okay, and I failed him. Chimney told me the station forgave Buck and everything was going well. How could this happen? I can't help but pace back and forth in the kitchen. What should I do? Ugh all of this pacing is not helping with the baby. I need to sit down. I really don't know what to do, and of course Chimney is at work at the station. Wait a minute... the station! Okay, okay calm down Maddie. Keys? Where are my keys? Okay got them, now let's go.

By the time I get to the station I could feel my blood boiling, there is no way this is good for the baby. I storm inside the fire house. Thank God they're not on call. Great they're all upstairs, now I don't have to gather them up. Chimney sees me walk up and immediately jumps up. "Maddie, what are you doing here? Is there something wrong with the baby?" He starts walking towards me and I step back.

Maddie: Chim, the baby is fine. But it's you all who won't be.

Bobby: He gives me a confused look Chimney what is going on?

Chimney: I-I don't know.

Maddie: Don't you guys even start. Do you guys really not see the problem here? I watch as everyone shakes their heads. I am so frustrated with your actions.

Hen: Maddie just tell us what's wrong. She gives me a worried but stern look.

Maddie: Chimney told me everything was fine with Buck; you guys forgave him, and everyone was happy. Now I see that is a lie. You have been treating my brother like shit! He told me everything, about you guys being distant and everything. Did you guys even know about his panic attack yesterday. I noticed the shock on everyone's faces, but I didn't care. Yeah, that's right, you guys put him into a panic attack. How could you guys? I look over to Eddie pointing my finger. And YOU! I'm the most disappointed in you Eddie. He is your best friend, or at least you guys were. You're supposed to be there for him, care about him, HAVE HIS BACK! I could feel my blood boiling at this point. You all need to do better.

Before anyone else could say anything, I turned around and stormed out.

Eddie's POV:

I just sat there, still in shock. Is what Maddie told us about Buck true? How could I let this happen? Buck is my best friend, the person I love, and I just let him down. Now thinking about it, I have realized that Buck has been down recently, but I didn't think anything of it. God how could I be so oblivious. I need to fix this; I need to help Buck.

Everyone else is quiet, probably lost in thought. I get up and go to the bathroom. I don't want to hear what they have to say about Buck. It's all my fault. I started distancing myself recently because of my feelings for Buck, he is my best friend and nothing more. But I guess it caused more harm than I thought it would. The bell started ringing and it was time to put my mind on work. Okay I got this.

Time skip after the call. Thank God that was a simple call. Okay now time to focus on how to help Buck. Phone... where is my phone? Aha there it is. Now what do I say? I just stare at his contact, not really sure what to say or even how to go about this. Do I mention what Maddie said or not? No, that'll just upset him. Okay I think I got it.

Eddie: Hey Buck, I was just seeing if you would be down to hang out this Wednesday with Christopher. He keeps asking about you.

I don't even wait for a response. I turn my phone and head to the showers. I need to clear my mind. Time skip to a few hours later. Buck still hasn't replied, he read my message 2 and a half hours ago. Is everything okay with him? I'm starting to get worried. Maybe I should stop by on my way home and make sure he is doing okay. He's my best friend, and Maddie was right, it's my job to take care of him. I promise to do that from here on out. Although I am getting worried about Buck. I'll talk to him tomorrow, maybe he's just busy, or sleeping. I mean it is Buck after all. I chuckle to myself and it catches Ravi's attention. He gives me a confused look. "Don't worry about it.", he nods and goes back to what he was doing.

A/N: Hi, I am so sorry for such a short chapter. This chapter was mostly focused on Maddie yelling at the team and some filler. In all honesty I wasn't sure how to fully fill this chapter, but I hope it was okay. Things are about to pick up so be prepared!!
