Buck pov:

*laying in bed*

I meet with my lawyer tomorrow.

I already sent him all the documents aside from my one with all my points on it.

I decided to keep that one safe. Only on my computer. Just in case.

*flashback to dinner*

Maddie went home after i made dinner and we caught up a little bit about what happened the last couple days.

It was nothing fancy for dinner just what i had in my fridge and cupboards that hadn't gone bad.

I told maddie about the lawyer and she told me to be careful about what I say.

I told her i wouldn't say anything unless absolutely necessary.

"Buck after your appointment with your lawyer i think you should go grocery shopping and i know unless someone is with you you'll forget so I'm going to drive you to and from your lawyer tomorrow so we can go shopping."

"Mads im fine i have enough groceries for now."

"Buck you are 30 years old you have 2 packs of ramen a box of spaghetti that you won't eat and a couple moldy fruits and vegetables in your fridge you need groceries."

"Fine I'll text you when my meeting is done. The meeting starts at 11 so i need to be there for at least 10:30."

"I know buck I've dealt with lawyers before i think sometimes you forget i was married before."

"Right sorry mads. Thanks for taking care of me."

"Anytime buck. But if you run off again please tell me where you're going."

"I will maddie i promise."

"Buck."

"Pinky promise maddie."

Maddie rolls her eyes at my suggestion but holds her pinky out anyway.

*flashback over*

I think back to where the pinky promise started.

I know i was little and i had just gotten hurt.

The bike it was the bike.

Maddie was teaching me how to ride a bike.

I fell off the bike and our parents got really mad.

I still dont know why.

But maddie was taking care of my cuts and she told me that our parents weren't mad.

I didn't believe her so she held out her pinky.

Then she swore to me that it wasn't my fault. And ever since its been like that.

I like it. It may be childish or something but i dont mind.

Thanks for reading i know its short but i want the lawyer thing to be its own chapter
