"Philip.. What have you done." Buck said with pure hatred.
"I- what. Buckley, what do you mean?" Philip starts panicking, sweat forming on his forehead. "What's wron-"
SLAP!
"WHAT'S WRONG IS WHAT YOU DID! YOU KILLED HUNDREDS- NO, THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE AND THINK THAT EVERYTING IS ALLLL FINE NOW! I HATE YOU! YOU DAMN MONSTER! WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU?!" But.. No... no no no- Philip WAS better now! He learned that what he was doing was wrong, and is actively trying to save the Boiling Isles! NONONO, BUCK CAN'T LEAVE HIM! HE NEEDS HIM! NONONONONONONONO! HE CAN'T BE ALONE AGAIN!
"BUCKLEY, DEAR, PLEASE!" Philip pleads, "I'M BETTER NOW, I SWEAR! PLEASE DON'T LEAVE ME!"
Silence.
"Buckley..?"
He was gone.
"No.."
You made him leave.
"I DIDN'T! I SWEAR I DIDN'T!" Philip sobbed.
He hates you! HE FUCKING HATES YOU!

Luz wakes up to the sound of loud sobbing and short breaths. "Shit.. Philip!" She bolts down the stairs, skipping some on her way down. Philip's arms were bleeding and raw. "Hey! Calm down... Tell me what you need and I'll get it for you, okay? I got you," she says softly, now holding his wrists so that he doesn't harm himself any further.
"B-BUCK! I WAN-" His breath hitches, "I WANT BUCK!" He feels so pathetic... So helpless...
"I'll get Buck for you, okay?" Luz grabs a cup and fills it with room temperature water. "Here, drink some water. Deep breaths, okay?" Philip nods and tries his best to breathe.
Luz goes upstairs and grabs her phone, looking for Buck, finding him, then tapping "call".

Buck wakes up groggy, his phone ringing loudly. "Who in tarnation has the audacity, it's one in the mornin'..." Buck answers the phone, "This is Buckley..."
"Philip's REALLY freaking out, and I don't know what to do!" Luz panics.
"... I'll be over in five minutes," Buck says sternly.
ੈ✩‧₊˚༺☆༻ੈ✩‧₊˚
Buck is there in exactly five minutes, (he ran some stop lights), he frantically knocks on the door, Luz answers. He doesn't even let her speak, he just rushes in. Philip is a wreck, sobbing uncontrollably, arms bandaged, spots on blood on some areas of the off-white colouring. Buck immdiantly get's on his knees in front of him and holds his hands, "Hey, it's alright. You don't have to look at me, talk to me or anythin'. Just please, please breathe for me." Buck assures. That seemed to help, Philip started breathing a bit more steadily. "You want me to hold you?" Philip nods. Buck stands up, gets on the couch, and sits Philip on his lap, hugging him closely. "What happened, darlin'?"
"I had a nightmare... That.. That you left me-" Philip's voice cracked, "-Please don't leave me... Please stay."
"I'm not leaving, hon. I'm right here."
Luz comes over and sits with them. "I can get you more water if you want," she says calmly, seeing as any loud notices or voices will make Philip start panicking again.
"I think he just needs some sleep right now. Thank you for calling me, Luz. I'm very proud," Buck smiles warmly.
Everything was okay now.
