Summary
Eddie whirls back on him, “I get it; they were your family first. But I’m the one who is leaving, I’m the one who has to say goodbye. I have to pack up my life, move across the country, and go to a place I hate, and try to make peace with people who have abused me my whole life. I’m the one who is losing all of you, and all they are worried about is protecting and babying you. And I’m fucking doing the same thing. I’m here scared out of my mind, and all I am worried about is you being upset.” Eddie shakes his head. “I’m the one who has to walk away from you,” he said, looking directly at Buck, his voice trembling.
“Eddie…” Buck says, his voice breaking.
“Don’t … Buck don’t…”
“Don’t what, Eddie?”
"Don’t let me leave like this,” Eddie whispers, his voice barely audible. His hand, trembling slightly, reaches out to Buck’s uniformed chest. With a gentle, yet determined motion, he slides his finger between the buttons, tugging Buck closer. Buck's heart races as he instinctively wraps his strong arms around Eddie's tense frame, pulling him into a tight embrace. The two friends find solace in each other, holding on to each other if they were the other's lifeline.
