Songs & Fire [Brett and Casey]

Move You - #13

(50) Challenge: Day 13 - 12/13/19

Song: Move You by Kelly Clarkson

Like a montage in a movie, right before the hero dies

Like the first time that you listen to your favorite singer live

Like an echo in a canyon

Like tears, but you're not sad

Like a sunrise on a mountain

I wanna move you like that

"I love you!" Whispered Casey as he wrapped his arms around Brett, who was soundly snuggled into their bed."

Brett smiled as she turned around and placed her head on Casey's chest, "I love you too. You smell really good." Replied Brett causing Casey to laugh, lean down, and kiss her lips.

"Brett...Brett." Whispered Severide as he sat beside Brett in the purple, funeral-colored hospital chair.

"Yeah," Quietly whispered Brett as continued to stare at the eggshell-white walls.

"You okay?"

Brett didn't answer she just sat there and nodded.

Like a symphony at sundown, in the middle of July

When a lyric really gets you and it breaks you down inside

Like the home that you were raised in

Like faded photographs

Like the thrill of Christmas morning

Yeah, I wanna move you like that

SIX HOURS AGO

Brett and Casey had just arrived at the firehouse for their shift and were laughing at the movie Foster had made them watch last night.

"Hey, you two," Yelled Kidd as she and Severide got out of her jeep and began making their way into the firehouse.

Brett and Casey both waved and said hello.

It wasn't long after the start of shift that everyone was called out.

- EVERYONE RESPOND - FIRE AT SEVENTY-TWO HUNDRED MAPLE STREET - ALL RESPOND

Brett would say that it was one of the worst fires she'd ever seen. Black smoke rose from the house and clouded the sky.

Everything seemed like a blur to Brett. She saw Casey go in on his own two feet and then saw him get carried out by Severide and Cruz.

"Casey!" Yelled Brett as she tried to climb her way through the crowd of people.

No one was sure what happened. Severide herd Casey yell out before he ran into the next room and found him lying on the ground unconscious with blood coming out of his nose.

How Brett managed to get Casey to the hospital with Foster without passing out herself, she would never know.

Like a solemn Hallelujah

Like a choir shouts amen (amen)

Like your first time falling in love on a stairway up to heaven

Like a soldier who is falling as he holds his country's flag

And he fights for freedom's calling

I wanna move you like that

'We should have heard something by now. Why haven't we heard anything? What if he's dead back there and they haven't come to tell us yet.' Thought Brett as she sat there in her seat shaking and twirling her engagement ring.

"We've been here for hours and haven't heard anything. Can you please ask Dr. Halstead if he has an update?" Said Chief Boden as he pulled one of the nurses aside.

Foster looked over at Brett and sighed, "Brett, do you want some coffee or anything?"

Brett just shook her head and continued to look down at her ring and pray.

'Please, God just let him be okay. Please. I can't live without him. I love him more than anything. He's my everything. Please just bring him back to me. Please.'

"Brett,"

Brett immediately lifted her head and looked at Herman who was calling her name.

"The doctor's here,"

Brett jumped out of her seat and ran to where Boden and Will Halstead were standing.

"Hey, Brett," Whispered Will.

"How is he? What's wrong? Is he still in surgery?" Urgently asked Brett as she looked at both men back and forth trying to gauge their reactions.

"Brett, calm down. He's going to be fine. It looks like he was knocked unconscious by something that caused his brain to swell. Luckily, we were able to control the swelling and he's in recovery right now."

Everyone in the room let out a sigh of relief.

"Can I see him?" Asked Brett as tears started to slide down her face.

"Of course. Follow me."

Brett had never been so happy to see the love of her life.

"Brett," Croaked Casey as he slowly opened his eyes and took in the beautiful angel in front of him.

Brett took a step forward and grabbed his hand, "Yeah, I'm right here,"

Casey smiled, "I love you."

"I love you too!" Cried Brett as she kissed the love of her life and held him.

Like an endless fire burning

Like a hope that fuels the light

Like the hands that simply hold you, when words can't make it right

Like the first time that I met you, I fell so hard, so fast

Like that montage in a movie

Mmm, the way you move me

I wanna move you like that
