One night | buck and Eddie fanfic (9-1-1 tv show)

Eddies POV

Buck had found him.

Buck had found him.

His Buck had found him, dead at the bottom of the lake floor.

When all those thoughts were going through Eddies  head, he assumed that someone from the 133 would've found him, or maybe a civilian a couple days later.

Never did he assume it would've been Buck.

He reached towards his neck to touch his St. Christopher's medallion, like he normally did for reassurance. Shit. It was probably floating in that lake somewhere, or someone's kid had picked it up thinking it was just a necklace.

He needed it back, Eddie needed his medallion back. Eddie had to-

"Where are you going? You need to go back to your bed, there's still major injuries that need time healing," commanded Eddies nurse, Lilian.

She was a young nurse, probably only just started. You could tell she liked her job from the way she smiled and lit up whenever she entered a room.

"I- I need to go I need my medallion." Breathed out Eddie, reaching at the empty space near his collarbone, "just let me-"

"Mr. Diaz, I need you to get back in your bed, I'm sure somebody will find it-"

"No, no you don't understand-"

The room started spinning and his breaths got shallower, almost like he was drowning. Again. He reached out, clawed around the room for anything, for anyone just something to grab on to.

Everything was a blur and nothing made sense because the only sense he had was gone, in a lake somewhere.

Eddie still grabbed at us neck, scraping his fingers against it hoping that the medallion would somehow appear again. He ignored Lilian's voice when she called for more doctors to assist, he continued scratch at thin air like he was crazy. He wasn't crazy, was he?

"Mr. Diaz you need to calm down, okay?" Shouted a voice, Eddie wouldn't have been able to tell you whether it was a doctor or a nurse, whether it was someone he had seen before or not.

"Buck, Buck he know where it is-"

That was all Eddie managed to breathe out. He just remembered being pushed and then hitting the ground, hard.

-----

"Eddie? Eddie are you okay?"

Was that, Maddie?

"Mads, what- what happened?" Eddie questioned, his thoughts blurry and his mind in a million places.

He had a vague idea of what happened, and he just wanted answers.

"Apparently you fell over, and hit the ground. Well, one of the doctors tried to get you back in bed and you refused, which somehow resulted in you being pushed, guys name was Pinder or something like that-"

"Who- who called you?" Eddie asked, confused as to why she was here.

"Apparently you were saying my name, well Bucks name and they called me instead. Oh, don't worry your heads fine, it's basically just a bump-"

"Where's buck, Maddie?"

A beat.

"He- he drove away a few days ago, but h-he's fine."

What?

"Where- where did Buck go?"

"We," Maddie took a small breath before continuing "We don't know. All we know is that he's fine, and that he's safe."
