Buck spends Sunday and most of the day Monday just going through the motions, he was getting frustrated that he could not seem to get a break away from people. It only when he was in bed or the bathroom, other than that people were always around him. It was Monday night and he and Maddie were sitting in the living room, Chimney had not long gone but left them with snacks.

"Do you want any of the chips?" Maddie asks.

"I'm okay." Buck responds.

"Well, what have you eaten today? I know it's not much." Maddie says.

"I'm not hungry." Buck says.

"Buck, you need to talk to me. I can help you, you know." Maddie says.

"I know." He replies.

"Who is going with you tomorrow?" Maddie asks.

"No one, I can do it on my own you know." Buck says turning around on the sofa to avoid the look his sister is most likely giving him.

"Evan, they want you take someone in with you, so you will have to." Maddie says

"I don't want to Maddie; I'm fine going do it on my own." Buck responds

"You didn't even do the full session last time, look I know you want to show people you can do this on your own but we don't want you to, so please for me say you will take someone." Maddie begs.

"Maybe, can I get some rest now." Buck says as he pulls a blanket up.

"You want to sleep on the sofa?" She asks.

"Yeah just for a bit. I'll move to my bed later." Buck replies.

He does not hear Maddie's response drowns her out as he can't be bothered listen, he just closes his eyes and nods off, as he sleeps he starts to dream.

'Buck stands mainly because he's tired but doesn't make a sound and then a few more hits he sees Aaron walk over smiling, holding a rod in one hand which is glowing and he can see letters AJ and in the other hand a blow torch which he uses to heat up the metal more.

"You will never forget me after this, I'll always be a part of you always." Aaron says as he kisses Buck on the cheek.

Buck starts to move but can't move much Chase smacks Buck again, Chase grabs Bucks phone and starts recording as Aaron places the stamp on his skin, a blood curdling scream is let out of Bucks mouth and tears role down his cheeks and passes out from the pain, and Aaron pulls it away and laughs.'

Buck wakes with a jolt, sweat coating his face and he reaches for his leg where the bandage that covers the mark he can feel the dull ache coming from it, the memories reminding him what had happened, he looked round there was just a lamp on and he looked at his phone, smiled at the lock screen and saw it was 1am.He realised he must have nodded off. He looked over to the other seat and did not see Maddie, she must have gone to bed. He rolls over and sits up, he slowly lifts himself up grabbing his crutch and heads over to the kitchen, he looks through the cupboard looking for some pain killers he finds them and takes two with a glass of water and heads back to the sofa taking the pills with him so he had them just in case, he puts the TV on and puts a random film on and starts to watch his eyes drooping but he wills his mind to stay awake as he watches the film and it comes to the end he can feel the pain in his leg so he takes another two he knows he shouldn't, but the pain was really getting to him, after he takes them he picks another film to watch and starts watching.

"Hey babe, what are you watching?" A man's voice comes from behind.

Buck jumps and turns his head round and see's someone he did not expect
