Summary
Buck hadn’t meant for it to become an addiction. He didn’t mean for it to get this bad. But once he started, he couldn’t stop. It had started innocently. He didn’t want people to worry about him after the kidnapping so he shrugged it off. Tried to deal with it on his own. He told everyone, including Eddie, that he was okay. That he was moving on. He acted normal. Showed up to his shifts on time like always, bantered and joked with everyone at work, the usual. The pills hadn’t been planned. He hadn’t planned to get addicted to them. But the pills quieted the noise inside his head. Eventually, he began to chase that feeling. The feeling of not having the chaos in his head. Of not having to feel. It was nice to not have to deal with the anxiety, and the fear, and the weight of his trauma while still putting on a brave face for everyone else. Eventually that feeling was a feeling he couldn’t live without. So he turned to the comfort of the pills whenever the noise became too much. Unfortunately, that was a lot lately.
