House that Built Me **BUDDIE**

Eddie woke up to the sound of the phone ring. he sat up and looked at the alarm clock. it said that it was 5:23 am. they both had the next three days off because of vacation. all though they weren't planning on going anywhere special.

the phone rang again and he ground as he rolled is eyes. his husband was obviously still asleep and couldn't here the alarm. Buck was snoring peacefully to the rhythm of eddies breathing.

"baby" Eddie said as he shook his husband. "Buck, Baby its your phone" he said shaking buck again lightly. 

"I got it" buck said tiredly as he reached up to get is phone. he kissed eddie quickly as he it answer and rolled out of bed.

~~~PHONE CALL!!~~~

"hello" buck said rubbing his tired eyes.

"Yes hello is this Mr. Evan Buckley" the voice on the other end of the phone says.

"yes it is. its acutely Buckley-Diaz. but please call me buck." buck corrected her.

"ok then buck it is. my name Aryana. your parents had you on there Will. they said that.." she said as buck cut her off.

"what do you mean Will. that's not for unless something were to happen they said that I get the last look at the house and then there was something they would leave in there room for me." 

"Mr. Buckley. you should come back home to Hershey. it would be easiest to tell you in person." she said as she said goodbye. 

"ok i'll be there in a couple days, I live out in Los Angeles now."

"ok that's fine. and im sorry." she said as she hung up the phone

~~~END PHONE CALL!!~~~

Buck takes a shaky breath as his world stops. he knows exactly what to expect. he know what's going on. he walks back into the bedroom that he shares with his husband and as soon as eddie asks about the phone call. buck falls to his knees. dropping the phone out of his hands on his way to the ground. 

Eddie was quick to jump up out of bed. he ran across the room to where buck was sitting on the floor. eddie wrapped buck up in a tight hug. kissing his head as he ran a hand through his husbands hair.

"w-w-we h-have to got to h-Hershey" buck managed to choke out

"ok go get changed and pack and we'll be on our way." eddie cooed to buck as he helped the younger man stand up.

~~~AT HERSHEY~~~

"hello you must be buck" a young girl greeted them when they reached bucks old house in his home town of Hershey Pennsylvania. they shook hands. "im Aryana we spoke on the phone a few days ago."

"yes and this is Eddie my husband." buck told her as Aryana stuck her hand out for Eddie to shake.

"its nice to meet you" she said after they shook hands.

"so what happen with my mom and dad?" buck asked on the verge of tears.

"they both died in a car crash the morning I called you." they had on there will that I was to call you so you could have another look through the house before it was sold. they also said that they had left a box of stuff for you in there room." she said as she handed him the keys. "take as long as you'd like" she smiled as she walked away to her car.

Eddie garbed bucks hand as he turned to nob on the door. the first room that they went to was the living room. it was empty. but the flashbacks started.

!!FLASHBACK #1!!!

it was Christmas of 1994 buck and Maddie were sitting on the floor Indian stile. Maddie looking at her new doll and buck playing with his new fire truck. when there aunt Claire came into the living room with one last present.

"this ones for you Maddie." she said as she handed the box to Maddie. Maddie took the box and opened it. se started to cry when she saw what was inside. a little kitten. a gray fluffy little thing.

"I didn't forget about you buck." she said as she pulled out another funny shaped box. "merry charismas kid. e opened the box and couldn't believe his eyes. it was a puppy. a little black lab.

"I love him!" he cooed. "I love you Bentley"

'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''

next they went upstairs to Maddie's old room. it had er old bed in it still as another flashback started.

!!FLASHBACK #2!!

"Maddie whats wrong?" a young 12 year old buck asked as he walked into her room. she was sitting on the floor. crying. that's when buck saw that snowball Maddie's kitten from a charismas oh so long ago. she was laying on the floor not breathing.

"snowball's dead" Maddie said as she looked at her cat. buck hugged his sister.

"we can share Bentley sis." he said as e stood up and took Maddie's hand. "we have to go get dad and tell him. its time to say goodbye mads"

''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''

buck was the only one to go into his room. he couldn't see  anything. no flash backs nothing. he was numb at this point. he was loosing his house. the place he grew up in. he looked out the window in his room and saw the old oak tree were they laid Bentley down to rest. his dog. his best friend. he was loosing him to. when he walked out he was sobbing. Eddie meant him with a tight hug. they had to go to the last room in the house.

when they got into his mom and dads old bedroom there where three boxes. two with holes and one without. buck read the note that he found on the bedside table

Buck handed the note to eddie and walked over to the box. eddie fallowed short behind him. he walked over and lifted to the lid to find a black lab puppy. he picked him up and hugged him. a not was tucked into his tags.
