Stella's pov: it's been a couple days since I called it quits with Kelly and I think I am doing ok with the break up. Right now I am walking into work right now and I see Brett and Casey look at me I kinda just walk past them into the kitchen as I walk into the kitchen I hear the guys talk about me
O= pretty sure this is why there's a rule about not dating in the firehouse
H= the thing about rules is they don't work unless you enforce them
CZ= severide's been in some mood man
M= he has? Try riding in the back of the truck next to her
( pointed at Stella) ( then Ritter cleat his throat when he saw Stella turn around to see what the guys were talking about)
S= what
M= uh nothing
S= no what did you say
M= uh I was just complementing on how uh when did you start wearing your hair pulled back like that
S= OK you know what let's just get this out in the open yeah severide and I broke up no it will not affect our Millatti to work together we're both adults we're moving on. End of discussion
All= copy righy well stated
( Stella look toward the wall and notice a poster)
S= What is this fire safety dog competition? We should enter Tuesday
CR= oh no I'm not sure
S= oh she can win this thing trust me that dog is a superstar in the making
CR= right but I'm just not sure
S= travel around to different schools teaching kids stop drop and roll or you kidding me
CR= ok still

The alarm goes off
S= this is happening

General pov: they get a call about a bus and somehow A guy gotten about stuck under the bus and cheif had squad work on the guy that was under the bus while truck worked on the driver of the bus. Kelly got under the bus and told his guys to grab some cribbing and airbags to lift the bust off the ground so they can get the guy from under the bus out. Once the bus was lift up off the ground Kelly ask for one of his guys to get under the bus to help him out and Cruz try to fit but couldn't and he look for someone that could help and who was smaller and the first person he seen was stella and she agree to help

Kelly's pov: when I ask Cruz To help me out under the bus and then he couldn't fit I knew he was going to have someone else help but then he yelled for Stella I felt something on my chest last time I came face-to-face with her is when she broke up with me just thinking about her and seeing her beautiful eyes makes me feel sad but I knew sooner or later we would have to work together so I was just ready to see her Beautiful hazel eyes again. When she got under the bus I had her help me get the guy on the backboard as she was helping me out I kept looking at her Hazel eyes a couple of times once we are finally got him on the backboard she slip out underneath the bus first and pulled the backboard with her and once the other firefighters help take the guy to an ambo she help me up and then I yell for Casey to let him know he is clear to do what he needed to do. And then Stella ran over to where truck was getting the bus driver on the Gurney. And I just got out of the way and waited until I was need. I watch as Brett and foster was bringing the driver to the ambo with Stella helping and I decide to talk to her for a second.
K= hey thanks for helping me under there
S= anytime


Once stella walked away I watch her for a second then I help clean up the cash so we can head back to the firehouse soon.

Back at the firehouse

I go and put my coat and other stuff in the turn out room as I'm putting my stuff away I hear someone come in too and I look and it ends up being Stella. At first she doesn't say anything and walk past me to hang up her coat so I decide to speak up

K= this is harder then I though it was going to be
( Stella takes a minute to respond)
S= we are never going to be able to work together if we can't put this behind us Kelly
K= yea I agree

( they stare at each other for a few seconds and then Stella walks out of the turn out room)
