    Summary

    He was going to watch her find the two seconds of nothingness.

    And he was going to want it. He was going to need it.

    He was tired of fighting. He was so unbelievably tired of being strong, of being good, of taking the punishment and hoping that someone, someday, would decide he was worthy of forgiveness, of love.

    Bobby didn't want him back at the 118. Eddie wouldn't look at him. His parents had never loved him.

    I wish I could say I feel nothing, Buck thought, a tear finally slipping through his fingers and dropping onto his jeans. But I feel everything.

    He sat in the darkness of the loft, listening to the shower run, waiting for the ticking clock to strike zero.

    He was going to relapse tonight. He had already made the choice. Now, it was just a matter of waiting for the moment to arrive.

    Or,

    Buck has been sober for six years, during the lawsuit, Buck relapses.

    😭🥹💔💊
