Fifteen (almost sixteen) years later, he’s learned a few things. He knows not to put his fate in someone else’s hands. If he wants to get anywhere in life, he needs to do it on his own. He has a plan. Keep his head down. Survive foster care. Go to school. Turn eighteen. Get a full ride to college. Make something of himself.
Then Athena Grant shows up and makes a deal with him. Suddenly he has the family he’s always wanted, and he starts thinking that maybe this time he won’t screw it up.
Unfortunately, trouble from his past is lurking in the shadows.

Summary
There aren't a lot of places Buck can sit comfortably with his thoughts, but here—out on the water, body weightless as long as he lies still, no sound but the lap of the waves and the breath thrumming in his chest—here there's nothing in the world to drag him down, no anger no worry and, most of all, no regrets to fill his lungs and suffocate him. Here on the water it's fine that he's alone.
He wonders if Maddie felt alone when she died.
or;
Five years after his sister is legally declared dead, Buck finds his way to Los Angeles and joins the 118, hoping he can make Maddie's memory proud.
And the universe smiles down on him.

Summary
Buck’s voice was soft and hesitant, but full of patience when he finally spoke again. “Did I do something to upset you, Chris? I can leave—”
“No!” Chris whirled on him, a complete shift from the standoffish vibe he had been giving a second ago. The tears he bravely held back finally broke free from his eyes, sliding down his rosy cheeks from behind his glasses. He shook his head vehemently, the yellow crayon falling to the table. “No, I’m not mad. Please…” His words turned to whimpers, his lip trembling. “Please don’t leave me too.”
