Summary
Eddie's hand was on him, finger pointing at his face. Bobby's hands in the air. Two people. Too close. Too loud. Hands everywhere.
Buck's vision tunnelled to a pinpoint. His body registered threats from multiple directions—Eddie in front, Bobby beside him, both of them with their hands raised, both of them angry, both of them *too close*.
The room tilted. Sound became muffled, distant. His father's voice overlapped with Bobby's. Connor's hands overlapped with Eddie's. Past and present collapsed into each other until Buck couldn't tell which was real.
*Hands coming up. Voices raised. Nowhere to run. Surrounded. Trapped. It's happening again. It's always happening again.*
But Buck's brain didn't see Eddie and Bobby.
Buck's brain saw violence coming from everywhere.Or what happens when following the lawsuit they refuse to forgive Buck and cause him to have a dissociative episode, they realise Buck has been hurt before and so begins the healing journey for them all. This will be a long slow burn fully exploring trauma and recovery in depth, no quick fixes. There is reference to abuse in the past to Buck as a child and domestic violence too so please read with caution.
