Summary
There's a look that both Maddie and his parents get when he comes home bloody and bruised.
It's the look that you'd think a stray, limp and weak animal would get—a fawn learning to walk with legs too long and thin to carry it's own weight. Something reserved for things below you, that you tilt your head downwards to look at. Something you forget by the end of the day.
Or... Evan Buckley doesn't exactly like pain, but he can't live without it and the accompanying gaze that finds him each time he's in someone's bed. But the 118 look at him with something different entirely, and it takes until he spirals and crashes for him to find out what it really means.
