#116;er . you a&

[howlingday]

Imagine Jaune as Scott Sterling(from Studio C). How funny would that be? Pyrrha would probably sue the coach and let Nora beat up the team.

Oobleck: Welcome back to our coverage of the game between Teams RWBY and JNPR.

Port: If you're just joining us today, you've missed most of an unbelievably well fought match between two incredible teams tonight. It has all come down to the final, penalty shots. All it takes is enough points for either team. Here comes the kick...

Pyrrha: (Kicks, Scores goal)

Oobleck: OH! SPECTACULAR! Team JNPR's star player, Pyrrha Nikos, has just landed a goal for her team, so now the burden rests on Team JNPR's goal-keeper, Jaune Arc.

Port: Here he comes. A fine lad with nerves of steel. He's got more hanging over him than the city of Mantle right now.

Oobleck: Indeed, and it seems the fans are showing their appreciation for it. Yang Xiao Long places the ball on the spot, getting ready.

Port: That girl literally has a cannon for a leg, and here she comes! Winding up for the shot and-

Yang: (Kicks)

Jaune: (Pelted in the face)

Oobleck/Port: OOOOOOOOOOOOH!

Port: THE CANNON HAS FIRED AND HAS STRUCK JAUNE ARC IN THE FACE DIRECTLY!

Oobleck: We clocked that at a stunning 116 kilometers per hour!

Port: Now that's a lot of, er, miles per hour!

Oobleck: Even with aura, there is no chance that young man's nose isn't broken right now.

Port: Oh, indeed!

Jaune: (Dazed)

Goodwitch: (Shining a light in his face, Nods, Leaves)

Port: Now it seems Team JNPR's coach, Professor Goodwitch, is examining him and deems him fit for duty after a short rest. Sadly, he's not out of the woods yet.

Oobleck: On his feet now, a bit shaken.

Port: But not stirred!

Oobleck/Port: HAHAHAHA!

Port: This crowd absolutely loves this young man.

Oobleck: He returns to his team, who welcome him back as a hero. And now comes another penalty kick, and scoring here would make it two nil. Nora Valkyrie approaches the ball with determination!

Nora: (Kicks, Misses goal)

Port: She hits high and wide, way off target!

Oobleck: She must have thought she was playing Mantle Football and attempting a field goal!

Port: Wrong kind of football, I'd say! And back now to Jaune Arc, looking a bit worse for wear, but ready for round two.

Oobleck: The shot takes a moment, but here comes Belladonna!

Blake: (Kicks)

Jaune: (Beaned in the schnozz)

Oobleck/Port: OOOOOOOOOOOOH!

Port: Jaune Arc with the fantastic dive! The ball flies straight through the air and his hands and whacks Jaune Arc right in the sniffer!

Oobleck: Looking again on the instant replay and OH! EVERY EXCRUCIATING DETAIL IS CAPTURED PERFECTLY IN HIGH-DEFINITION PERFECTION! Clocked in at 129 kilometers per hour.

Port: Arc does not look well. Two wonderful saves compounding two DEFINITE concussions.

Goodwitch: (Carries Jaune on shoulder)

Jaune: (Falls, Dragged away)

Oobleck: This seems to be the end of Jaune Arc's performance tonight.

Port: Indeed, as his coach pulls him through the grass and off the field, like a large-breasted lioness dragging a gazelle with a broken nose across the savannah.

Oobleck: Adieu, Jaune Arc. Adieu.

Port: JNPR now with their third PK. Weiss bouncing at the goal like an infant. The crowd holds their breath as Valkyrie moves in... OH! Very anticlimactic there. Let's see who they got to replace Jaune Ar-

Oobleck/Port: JAUNE ARC!

Port: JAUNE ARC IS BACK!

Oobleck: Jaune Arc is still in the game! Oh my, and it seems he's taken a very odd tactic now!

Port: He seems to be in the fetal position, covering his face.

Oobleck: Not a recommended technique, but here it co- Oh, wait! It seems Weiss Schnee is stopping to tie her shoe.

Port: Ho ho! And that's why you do a double-knot, kids!

Oobleck: Arc, still waiting for the kick to happen. He's probably wondering when the-

Jaune: (Looks up)

Weiss: (Kicks, Pops him in the beak)

Oobleck/Port: OOOOOOOOOOOOH!

Oobleck: SWEET, CREAMY DECAF!

Port: The ball strikes Arc right in the face, further crushing his nostrils into thin slits! He must be breathing only blood by now! He's going to look like one of those cartoon characters that just ran into a frying pan while they were chasing after a mouse!

Oobleck: I don't even care that we missed Lie Ren's attempt! Let's go back to-

Oobleck/Port: JAUNE ARC!

Port: THE MAN!

Oobleck: THE MYTH!

Oobleck/Port: THE LEGEND!

Jaune: (Stumbling to the goal, Bloodied and battered)

Port: I can't wait to see Arc and his catlike face reflexes!

Oobleck: Absolutely incredible, though I must say that Arc does not look well at all lying on the ground there.

Port: Well, you know athletes. They like to add a bit of drama to their performances.

Jaune: (Picked up by Ren and Nora)

Port: Are they taking him out?

Pyrrha: (Runs out with chair)

Oobleck: They brought him a chair! A bold move by their coach!

Jaune: (Reaches for his team leaving)

Oobleck: This is basically a gimme! Ruby Rose has to literally kick it anywhere that isn't where Jaune Arc is!

Port: There is no way Team RWBY can mess up this shot!

Jaune: (Begging Ruby)

Ruby: (Kicks, Craters his face)

Oobleck/Port: OOOOOOOOOOOOH!

Oobleck: ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY-EIGHT KILOMETERS PER HOUR!

Port: THIS MAN CAN DO NO WRONG! Just look at him in this instant replay, begging for mercy when it should be mercy begging for him!

Oobleck: He has looked Death in the eye and said, "Take your best shot!" To which Death replies with repeated punches to Arc's face! Just over and over and over again!

Port: If Team JNPR make this final shot, it's all over! But-

Oobleck/Port: OOOOOOOOOOOOH!

Port: No! Pyrrha Nikos misses, clearly too distracted by the wounds her partner, Jaune Arc, has sustained in this game! Speaking of, it's time we go back to-

Oobleck/Port: JAUNE! ARC!

Port: His face is like a brick wall!

Oobleck: A brick wall that can feel only pain and cries a lot!

Port: Wait a minute... I see Team RWBY's star kicker, Penny Polendina, but where's Jaune Arc?

Oobleck: ...Oh! It seems Arc is crawling away from the goal! WHAT IS HE DOING?!

Port: HE'S THROWING AWAY THE MATCH!

Penny: (Kicks exactly where she needs to)

Jaune: (...Words cannot describe the calamity of what just happened. At least, they fail to accurately depict what could be described as what really happened. The only accuracy that could be described in this space is that there was physical contact between Jaune Arc's face and a large, head-sized ball, and that there was a lot of bodily fluids that resulted from this contact, and that Jaune Arc was in so much pain that it's likely he passed out or away, though it's also just as likely that he didn't.)

Oobleck/Port: OOOOOOOOOOOOH!

Port: ARC HAS DONE THE IMPOSSIBLE!

Oobleck: ICAN'TBELIEVEIT! LOOKATTHAT! HE'SDONETHEIMPOSSIBLE! He was hit just right! What incredible instincts he had to just crawl away from the goal like that!

Port: His team rushes to the field, happy as a lark, as they all slide in and accidentally kick Jaune Arc in the face!

Oobleck: And now his team his carrying him off and away on an orange stretch of victory, glory, and emergency medical attention! Jaune Arc and his face of steel have won it all!

[pots-sibly]

A 'big failure' (as I would have seen it before accepting my illness) that I'm trying to turn into a little victory:

My symptoms get much worse on my period. Nausea, fatigue, dizziness and shortness of breath. It makes sense- POTS being linked with low blood volume, and my periods having always been very painful and intense even before this- but since getting on birth control, they've been a little bit more manageable. This is both a good and a bad thing: good, because I'm no longer going to the ER with severe pain and confusion, but bad because now, instead of the pain keeping me in bed all day, the symptoms will sometimes come on in bursts without warning. Meaning, I'll start feeling good enough to try doing something, only to be hit with crippling pain and fatigue out of nowhere.

I've been really craving sweets, and had just taken my painkillers on schedule, so I figured I'd be good to go out to the grocery store for some ice cream. It's about a ten minute walk, fifteen on a bad day, so I thought I'd be home in about half an hour and have a nice treat. So I put on actual clothes, grabbed my cane 'just in case,' and headed out.

Immediately, the first thing I noticed was hot how it was. My weather app says 23 C, but it's pretty humid here especially in the summer, and there wasn't much of a breeze, so I started sweating pretty much instantly. Still, it's a manageable walk, and I've been feeling alright the last few hours, so whatever.

My first warning was when I started shivering. Again, it's hot and humid outside, and when I'd set out I had been sweating and warm. But suddenly, I had goosebumps and was feeling chilled, even though I could still feel myself sweating. I brushed it off as the breeze making me cold after sweating, which fine, okay, that can happen.

About five minutes away from the store, I realized I was getting short of breath. Again, I brushed it off, thinking it was because I haven't been going on my nightly walks for a while and am maybe a little out of shape. I tried to focus on my breathing, and told myself I'd take a seat at the bus stop outside of the store before I went in.

By the time I got to the bus stop, I was almost wheezing, and my head was spinning. I sat down and took my heart rate, saw it was 116, and took a few minutes to try and slow it down, but I couldn't catch my breath. It sort of felt like I was having a panic attack, or like the air was getting lost in my throat before it could reach my lungs, like a balloon with a pinprick that you can't quite inflate.

It was hotter sitting at the bus stop, so when I decided I could stand up without falling over, I went into the grocery store and was quick with my purchases. I was getting dizzier every moment I was standing, so I went back to the bus stop bench right after.

This is where the failure-turned-victory comes in. I couldn't catch my breath, I was sweating through my shirt, and I was dizzy like I was getting a headrush, despite sitting for several minutes. I kept telling myself that I just needed to calm down and quickly walk home, that I could push through it and get it over with. And maybe this time last year, I would've tried. Instead, I opened my phone and ordered an uber, despite the ride home being about two minutes.

I want to be able to push through when I have moments like this. And there are times when I do push myself: when I'm boxing, when I'm trying new foods, when I'm going to conventions. But on this random Thursday, sitting outside my grocery store a ten minutes walk from my apartment, I knew that I couldn't push this. I knew I would hurt myself if I did.

I'm trying to be proud of knowing my limits. I'm trying not to think about the 'unnecessary expense' of the ride, or about whether the driver was annoyed doing such a short trip. I'm trying not to think about the little monster in my head that wants me to believe that I'm lazy and entitled. Instead, I'm reminding myself that there is a difference between pushing to improve, and pushing to harm. I shouldn't have walked to the store, I know that now. But I recognized that I needed help, and I didn't put myself in a situation where I could have been hurt.

I don't really think this story has a point. I'm feeling better now, and will be taking it easy for the rest of the evening. I hope you take this as a sign that it's okay to allow yourself to 'take the easy way,' because sometimes, the alternative isn't the best option.

[wooltoesocks]

things i want to get answers to in the remaining episodes of four leaf: a very comprehensive list that must be missing some things i just cant remember at the moment (also soilers for up until ep 139):

just in general evrything about the bells, and more especiall like how is lina giving lupe her bells (because that is 100% gonna happen i think) gonna affect them, for example if they'll get lina's bell as like their own, and if that bell being kinda broken is gonna be any problem

will that be a permanent change, is lupe gonna give the bell back to lina after they deal with the wolf

what's gonna happen to cricket if they really do deal with the wolf? or how will tehy come to some wsolution that doesnt harm anyone

CARLA!!! is she gonna be okay? that wound looks very nasty. i hope they'll be able to cure it somehow, and if not, then chopchop there goes a leg :/

talking about carla, is she gonna give er bells to someone like she mentioned in 138? that is only in case she wont be able to continue, but it loks very bad rn, so my question is, is it gonnna be mercy? or in general, who is it gonna be?

also about the bells, i really wanna know how many bells each witch has!! it''s just something i think would be interesting to analyse. (i looked through all the episodes where a witch has their bells out buut i still now only know for certain the number of bels like 7 witches have (before 137 and emma giving up her bells): Erica 1, Emma 2, Socks 2 (most likely, unless she got mor after the prison break, that's when she at least shows only 2), Alishba 3, Linda 3 (both of whose bells were shown during the prison break), Carla 20, Lina 21.

also also (i use that word so much), the names of the witches! we now know there are 17 witches in the red hoods (+lupe +lina so maybe 19 but oh well) and of those 17 we know the names of 12 (episode 133)

what i wanna know too is like which bell belongs to which witch? we've seen some, for example in the flashback of when they first appeared, and also in the festival of roses we see some, but like i wnna knowww (ye sit's very trivial but that's what makes it fun i think)

the mom. what happened with her in the 8 months that have passed since lupe was last in their original world? did she just continue on like normal, or did she actually regret some of the things she's done? will lupe go see her again?

the inevitable. the thing i've been waiting for for like 2 years. the KISS! alvar mentioned the witch loking very mad and the also saying he's the kinda guy to ask twice before a first kiss and what i think will happen is that he is gonna ask. like he's just the kinda guy. but the thing lupe (most likely) will be "mad" about is just that al didnt tell about it (even tho he was gonna tell you lupe, you just didnt want him to). or they arent mad, but just like very confused/fristrated and Al just interpreted it wrong? i dont know. we'll see (hopefully tomorrow in 140 but at the evry least in 141?? like i dont think it will take so long that it would be 142? (i am delusional). also looking at the future chapter thumbnails (not a fast pass reader), it looks like someone is using some kind of reddish/pinkish magic / teleporting right next to him)

okay this isnt a theory or anything, i just know lupe's dad is gonna be so smug learning about lupe and al's relationship when they do get into one like judging from ep 116 and the "crush" i jut know

okay wow this is a long post but i need to get these out of my head and scream into the void and wait if it screams back

back to the bells, they'r gonna give everyone their own one back right? if they deal wit hthe wolf, there shouldnt be any need to hoard all the power, and i dont think it would be very fair to let 72 people just go on about life without really even knowing what's going no just because you wanna levitate. i know it's probably more complicated than that but yeah

also (fuck, this word again) what's gonna happen to the witchs' craving of gloom? is it gonna go away if there is no wolf (okay this is assuming that it's dealt with and they wont come to a peaceful comclusion but if that happens i just really hope cricket will be okay)

are other witches gonna wanna get rid of their bells and become human like emma?

i would like some more information about the different worlds, although i think it's unlikely tha will come up in the chapters themselves, but maybe as some bonus content somewhere?

okay so i already wrote about like if Lina's bell being broken is gonna have any effect on lupe, but will it affect Lina herself? i would assume not, but you never know

just in general, i cant wait to see how everything comes to a conclusion and how the ending is gonna be (even tho i would love for it to go on for longer). are we gonnna see another time skip?

man i just remembered there are alaso civilians in Garua at the moment too like the redhoods are gonna get the to safety right? maybe that will also help a little with the public's fear of the witches, the news that hey maybe they're not bad through and through (even tho that was never the case but most people still thought that so)

fuck this is long how many words even is this... 1005???? man that's like 2/3 of the essays we had to write in high school. yea it's easier to just put stuff from your mind into bullet points but this has taken me like maybe 45 minutes where as those essays took at least 5 hours. i bet i could make one from one of my interests in like 2 hours and i would be much better than any of those monstrocities i wrote

anyway back on track

actually those are the main ones i remember now, maybe i'll update this once more come to mind, but for now this is enough for today

pictured above is me falling for this series

wait one more thing: is it stated anywhere how much the bells weigh? i would assume they're more like incorporeal so they wouldn't hve any mass, and i fell like should know this i've read this series 5 or 6 times. but if they do infact hve mass, do the witches have to actively levitate them or are they jsut funky like that

First Responders and Mental Health: Suicide Prevention Month

By a former first responder

I know, it’s almost the end of September. But, September is Suicide Prevention Month. It is a touchy subject. Especially for first responders. I know we have all dealt with the general public and either suicide attempts or they’ve been successful. I can’t count how many calls I’ve dealt with that were either attempts or successful. They are so sad and its depressing. You often wonder if they had just had someone to talk to or if someone would have just noticed that something was “off” with them. I have had at least 2 where it was a complete surprise. One such incident, this older gent. He was so pleasant. He had called us to come get him out of the floor because he had fallen. We tried to get him to go to the ER. He finally said he’d go. So we transported. He had made statements like, his wife was out of town. He didn’t want to leave his home. We kept reassuring him that he was going to just go get checked out. He was okay with that. Fast forward to the end of my double shift. We got a call out at his home. I didn’t see the note that was attached to his door we went in. I went down the hall, calling his name. There was a single light on in his house. I followed it and it lead to his bedroom. He was laying in the bed. Wet lung sounds. I went to him and tried to get him to talk to me. I pulled back the covers and discovered a weapon. Come to find out, he had contacted 9-1-1 to get us to come out. He told dispatch to send us out because he had fallen again. He said we had been so nice. Once he hung up the phone, he shot himself. We had gotten to him to soon as he was still breathing when we arrived. The note that was posted to the door was to his housekeeper. He wanted her to clean the house before his wife got home. He had prepped. He made “as little mess” as possible. He used pillows to keep the “mess” at bay. He also carefully chose a “less messy spot” to shoot himself. He had a plan. I beat myself up over it. If only I had listened more closely. I remember that call so vividly. Truthfully, there was nothing I could have done. He had made his mind up. He only told us that he didn’t want to leave his house. I know that many of you have had situations like this. This was before the Critical Stress Debriefing days. I was stressed beyond belief with that call and a few other suicides. What a lot of the “higher ups” fail to realize that those calls can be just as tough, if not worse, than other calls like the traumas out there. That’s why we must look after each other. Speaking of each other, how many of us have lost a co-worker to suicide? Here is a statistic for you from cssr.Columbia.edu. It is the Columbia Light House Project. In more than 1,000 firefighters, they found that nearly 50% had suicidal thoughts at some point in their career! About 16% reported one or more (!!) attempts. What?!? Survey of EMS 37% had contemplated and 6.6% have attempted it! Wow! That is way to many! In 2020, per USA Today, 116 police officers committed suicide were as there were 113 LODD. Though the number of police, fire and EMSnumbers could be higher due to the STIGMA! In the same article it said that EMS/Fire had 127 suicides in 2020 and in 2017 there were 126. (usatoday.com/higher suicide rate police firefighters mental health) Yall that is way to many!! 1 is too many. We need to help each other and break this stupid stigma. Get help. It is okay to not be okay. There are so many programs out there. Let me tell you, you are stronger than you think. There are people out there that know exactly how you feel. You are not alone. It may feel like it. That one buddy that is ‘to busy’ to stop and talk, find another one. There are numbers to call. There are plenty of people out there that want to talk to you. Please, please reach out. You will be missed by someone!! You are stronger than you think. You just need to prove it to yourself. 9-8-8. Call it. I understand that the weight of the world could be on you. You need to call 9-8-8 and let someone help you relieve that weight. That burden.

I’ve talked about it before, contact your HR and get your EAP to give you some free sessions. Its confidential. If you are in South Carolina, contact us here at Choices Counseling. 803-851-4049. We would love to help you, to listen to you and give you some tips to ease you on your journey. If you are out of the area, please call 9-8-8 and get your local resources. EAP can help you find a resource as well. You don’t have to fight alone anymore. Please take care of yourself, mentally, physically, and emotionally. You are loved and someone out there would miss you terribly. By Marie B. Suicide Hotline: 9-8-8

ik that you think that the monologue is genuine, but how do explain the things Mike said about El in s1? Like when he wanted to send her back to the “asylum” that she came from, and when he screamed “what is wrong with you?” when he thought she lied about Will?

I don’t “think” that it’s genuine, it IS genuine. The Duffers confirmed it.

Also..Mike was 12. He’s 15 now. I’ve changed a lot since I was 12, and I’m only 13. People, especially teenagers, change quickly.

Also, when your best friends goes missing, emotions run strong. And let me state this again. HE. WAS. 12.

I just read a fair portion of the By*er Google doc.

Dear god these people are delusional.

“B-but El drew Mike’s name with a rainbow in S3! And so Mike is gay!”

No he isn’t. Come on guys.

Heidi’s Heart Attack

Heidi was a 52 year old woman who many would say looked great for her age. She had medium length brown hair, brown eyes, was of average height, had a slim build, and had a tan complexion. Heidi was married to her husband of 22 years, John, and had 2 children with him- a 21 year old daughter named Alexis, and a 17 year old son named Tyler. Heidi worked as an administrative assistant at an insurance company, and enjoyed hobbies such as photography, hiking, and going to the beach.

Heidi started presenting with subtle signs and symptoms about 6 weeks prior to her death. At first, she was experiencing indigestion on a more consistent basis, along with fatigue. A few weeks later, occasional episodes of dizziness and lightheadedness were added to the mix, but Heidi didn’t report these symptoms and didn’t realize that what she was experiencing could be the result of something more serious. These symptoms continued for approximately 6 weeks until everything came to a head.

Last night, Heidi woke up in the middle of the night feeling worse than ever. She experienced chest pain that radiated to her shoulders and back, shortness of breath, and indigestion. Heidi felt like her chest was being squeezed from the inside out, while also feeling like her heart was going to leap right out of her chest. These symptoms alarmed her husband John, so he immediately called 911.

Emergency services arrived to the family’s residence in the coming minutes. The medics immediately began examining Heidi, and obtained her initial vital signs. She was severely hypertensive with a blood pressure of 187/116, had a pulse of 136bpm, and an oxygen saturation of 96%. This prompted the medics to set up a portable 5-lead ECG.

The initial findings of the ECG showed tachycardia with multifocal PVCs, ST elevation, hyperacute T waves, and inconsistent 1st degree atrioventricular block. Based on Heidi’s vital signs and ECG findings, emergency services felt she was displaying symptoms of a massive STEMI and prepped her for transport.

She was given an o2 mask and placed on a stretcher, and taken into the ambulance that waited just outside the home as her husband and children watched, concerned about her well being.

During transport, the medics set up IVs and started Heidi on a dose of anticoagulants, vasodilators, and gave her nitro for the chest pain. Heidi’s tan complexion was faded, appearing pale with a greyish tinge, feeling cool and clammy to the touch. Beyond the medic’s initial interventions, nothing changed for the remainder of the ambulance ride.

Here in the ER, it was our usual night shift team of me (Dr Kenny), Dr Lindsay, Dr Sarah, nurse Nancy, nurse Ashley, and nurse Heather. We were previously notified by EMS that we had an incoming patient who was most likely having a heart attack, and set up one of the trauma rooms in anticipation of our patient’s arrival. We also notified radiology, the cardiac catheterization lab, and the OR in the event those departments needed to be utilized in Heidi’s treatment.

Upon arrival at our emergency department, the medics wheeled Heidi into the trauma room and lifted her onto table, under the large overhead light. Heidi was groaning, and drifting in and out of consciousness. “hi Heidi, I’m Dr Lindsay. Can you tell me a little about what’s going on?” Dr Lindsay asked calmly, while stething Heidi’s bare chest. “ughhh. My chest…. Chest pain…” Heidi groaned weakly to Dr Lindsay. “alright ma’am. How long has the chest pain been going on?” Lindsay follows up. “….a few hours…” Heidi replies, visibly uncomfortable, wincing in pain. “alright. Have you ever experienced symptoms like this before?” Lindsay replies. “…never.” Heidi says back to Lindsay, in a weak, pained voice.

After Lindsay’s initial examination of Heidi, we decide to order labs. A CBC, BMP, toxicology screen, a STAT d-dimer, and a STAT cardiac enzyme test. While the nurses drew the labs, we also ordered a chest x ray and an echocardiogram. The chest x ray showed completely normal chest anatomy- a common radiographic feature of heart attacks believe it or not. However, the echocardiogram was a different story. The echocardiogram showed pericardial irritation. This occurs for a few reasons during some heart attacks: 1, there’s a lot of friction between the myocardium and the pericardium when there’s a rapid heartbeat and dangerously high blood pressure for a prolonged period of time, and 2, the muscular layer and fibrous outside portion of the heart are being deprived of blood from a blocked coronary artery.

Based on the severity of Heidi’s symptoms, we didn’t feel a stent would be the best move since the damage already appeared quite extensive. We opted to page cardiothoracic surgery to come down to the ER for a consult, since it appeared open heart surgery may be the way to go- be it a CABG or an open transmyocardial revascularization procedure. We informed Heidi that she needed surgery in order to treat her condition. “…surgery?” she replied, surprised. “yes ma’am, we need to get you up to the operating room soon, ok?” I replied to her. “… tell my family I love them… please…” Heidi replied to me weakly. “you’ll be able to tell them yourself after the surgery hun.” Nurse Nancy replied, trying to be encouraging.

Suddenly, the monitors began chirping loudly. Heidi was gasping for air, fighting with everything she had left to stay conscious. “stay with us hun!” nurse Nancy says urgently, doing a sternal rub on Heidi. Tears run down Heidi’s face while she struggles to breathe, before finally letting out her last breath. Heidi laid limp and motionless on the table, eyes wide open, staring up above with a pained look still present in her face. “pulseless v-tach on the monitors!” nurse Ashley shouts to the team. At that point, Dr Sarah starts performing deep, rapid chest compressions while nurse Heather ambu bags. I order the team to charge the defib paddles to 150.

After a cycle of CPR and ambu bagging, the paddles were gelled, charged, and pressed up against the patient’s bare chest. Heidi’s body jolted abruptly in response to the shock, but remained in pulseless v-tach. “no change, recharge to 200!” I shouted with urgency. In a moment’s notice, the paddles were recharged to 200, pressed back up against Heidi’s bare chest, and she was shocked again. KA-THUNK was heard in the room once the shock was delivered. “damn it, v-fib on the monitors. resume compressions.” Lindsay said, shaking her head. “1…2…3… “ you could hear Sarah say, thinking out loud. With ongoing chest compressions, I ordered the team to intubate Heidi for the sake of airway management. Lindsay navigated a 7.0 ET tube into the attractive older woman’s airway, and secured the tube with a blue tube holder once at the proper depth. With the airway confirmed shortly after, we decided to shock Heidi again after a cycle of compressions.

The paddles were gelled and charged to 250 this time, and pressed back up against her bare chest. Heidi’s chest shot upwards, with her back arching. Her eyes still wide open with a detached ET tube protruding from her mouth, still staring up above while her body reacted to the shock. Once she returned to her previous position, v-fib still displayed on the monitors. Epinephrine and atropine were pushed intravenously, and we decided to shock her again at 300 joules. This shock caused Heidi’s feet to kick up above the table by an inch or so, before slamming back down half a second later, showing off the deep, thick wrinkles throughout the soles of her size 8.5 feet. This shock failed to produce ROSC, so we hit her with the paddles once again at 360 joules. Heidi thrashed and jolted violently in response to the shock, only to convert to PEA.

At that point, we pushed another dose of medications and resumed chest compressions. This time, nurse Nancy took over CPR. She delivered deep, hearty chest compressions. Heidi’s belly rippled outward and her soft, C cup breasts jiggled around from the residual force of the compressions. One arm dangled off the side of the table and bobbed in sync with each individual compression. Her eyes were still wide open, almost as if she was watching us work on her, which I found to be an eerily beautiful sight.

The code began to drone on at that point. We all swapped in at various points to deliver chest compressions, ambu bag, and push meds. Heidi deteriorated from PEA to an agonal rhythm, then from an agonal rhythm to asystole.

We continued pumping away at Heidi’s bruised, battered chest, but she showed no signs of life. Unfortunately, the beautiful wife and mother of 2 succumbed to her massive STEMI after a 28 minute code, with time of death being called at 1:13am while she was asystolic.

The ambu bag was detached from the ET tube and the flatlined monitors were shut off. Nurse Heather gently shut Heidi’s eyes for the final time while the EKG electrodes were disconnected. The IV ports were removed and a toe tag was then placed on the big toe of her left foot. Lastly, her body was covered up and taken over to the hospital morgue. We then did the hard part and broke the unfortunate news to Heidi’s husband and children in the waiting room.

Heidi's autopsy confirmed she suffered a massive anterior STEMI, with 95% occlusion of the left anterior descending artery- a high mortality cardiovascular event. Generally in these cases, prompt and early treatment is paramount to long term survival. If Heidi sought treatment earlier, it's very likely she would have survived. But unfortunately, her family has to deal with the aftermath of her tragic passing.

                                THIRD POV

“So this is the famous Kasey Strand we’ve heard so much about.” Paul smiled as he saw her sitting next to TK as he lifted some weights.

“That is I.” She grinned. “You two must be Paul and Mateo.” She stood up to shake their hands. “TK and my dad has spoken quite a lot about the 126.”

“Same goes for you.” Mateo smiled as he shook her hand before his attention went to Paul’s phone that laid on the bench. “Hey, Paul, your phone’s blowing up.” He looked at the messages on his phone. “It’s that Josie girl.”

“Glitter girl?” Y/n muttered to TK who nodded.

“Glitter girl.”

“She got it bad.” Mateo smirked.

“Never peep another’s man phone, probie.” Paul pointed his finger at Mateo angrily as he turned his phone upside down so no one could see.

“So, you’re just gonna ghost her?” He followed Paul. “Wait, I’m confused. She’s hot, single, and she’s into you. It’s like she’s just waiting for you to ask.” He took the weight of the bar as TK moved to sit on the bench of it. Kasey following as she was his spotter. “Why don’t you?”

“That’s a fair question.” TK pointed out with Kasey nodding along.

“Look, we’re texting.” Paul told them, doing bicep curls.

“She obviously wants more.” Kasey pipped in.

“She’s cool. Like extremely cool. Like almost-too-good-to-be-true cool.”

“So, why wouldn’t you ask her out?” Mateo asked, confused about the whole situation.

“Well, maybe I wanna enjoy the fantasy of what could be before reality finds a way to disappoint.”

“That’s grim.” TK grunted out as he lifted the bar of weight.

“Yeah, that’s easy for you to say, Mr. Charmed Existence.”

Kasey snorted. “Charming? No way.”

“Kas is more of the charmer of the family.” TK smirked.

“I bet she is.” Paul said.

“I’m so not.” She shook her head with a smile.

“I have a lot of proof to say otherwise.” TK argued back.

“When was the last time either of you tasted stone-cold rejection?” Paul questioned the twins.

Kasey stayed quiet whilst TK placed the weight back onto the hooks, sitting up and granting as he did so.

“116 days ago…” TK said without hesitation as he looked at Paul and fiddled with his necklace. “When I asked my soulmate to marry me, and he moved in with his trainer instead.”

“That’s rough.” Paul raised his eyebrows slightly. He then looked at Kasey who didn’t reply to his question. Her eyes moved from TK to Paul as she stared at him, wondering what he was looking at her for.

“Oh…” She said with realisation. “I, er, I normally do the rejecting.”

Paul watched TK stand up and he walked towards him. “I’m sorry.” He patted his back.

“Damn, bro.” Mateo sighed.

“Yeah, that was not my best day.” TK said. “Look, everybody gets kicked in the head. You gotta get up and try again.”

“And also, the lady hand-delivered you a brisket.”

“That’s gotta say something.” Kasey added to what Mateo said.

“I’m pretty sure that’s a guaranteed yes.”

“Yeah maybe for the first date.” Paul said. “The scary part is landing that second one.”

“I mean you’re cool, ripped and a firefighter.” Mateo sat up from doing his weightlifting. “I mean, in my experience, everybody wants seconds of that.”

“Well, I appreciate that, probie,” Paul said as he moved to a different equipment. “But things are a little bit more complicated for me.”

“Cause you don’t know how she’ll react when she finds out your trans.” TK stated.

“I know none of us would understand,” Kasey began, “but I think it be best if you just tell her it straight, man. She’ll either want to continue this thing with you or she’ll just ask to be friends. It’s better to be more truthful of who you are than live with lies.”

“I usually meet women on dating apps. You know everything’s in the profile, no surprises.”

“But now it’s outside the dating app world, it’s harder to say.”

“Exactly.”

“Just get it out there.” Mateo said. “Just tell her.”

“That’s the risky part. When it comes to sharing something that personal, kind of gotta go by the rules of threes.”

“Oh, like famous people, how they always die in threes.”

“Huh?” Kasey asked, confused as ever.

“Kas, don’t. Don’t stress you little mind about it.” TK told her, placing a hand on her knee to grab her attention.

“But-”

“Don’t.”

“No, man. No.” Paul shook his head. “I gotta assume that for every one person that I’ve told, I’ve actually told three, because people can’t help but to tell somebody else.”

“Straight, gay, bi, trans,” TK walked up to Paul, “dating sucks, all right? There’s no way around it. So, take her out, analyse the risk, and if it feels safe, take the leap.”

Kasey sat on the countertops of the firehouse kitchen, eating an apple, whilst TK used the coffee machine next to her.

“Hey.” The twins said as they noticed Paul approaching them.

“What’s up?” He nodded to them.

“Want me to make you a coffee?” TK asked with a small smile.

“Thanks.”

“Expresso?”

“Sure.” TK handed him the coffee before leaning his back against the counter Kasey was sat upon. They both shared a look before looking back at Paul.

“How is it?” Smiled TK.

“You mean how was it?” Paul gave the twins a look as they just smiled at him.

“Yeah, well, I mean, I-I didn’t wanna ask but-”

“How was it?” Kasey softly asked over TK’s stuttering.

“We bowled.”

“You bowled.” The twins said together. “Bowling is a great first date!” Kasey added.

“We bowled, and I got a 54.”

“Nice, man.” TK threw his arms up, hitting his sister in the process. She glared at him as he smiled sheepishly at her before turning back to Paul.

“No, that is actually terrible.”

“Sorry,” TK shrugged slightly, “I-I don’t know anything about bowling. Kasey’s always been the more sporty one.”

“Player with the highest score wins.” Kasey explained to her older brother before looking back at Paul, whilst holding her nose. “The only thing that matters is if you had a good time.”

“Whatever.” Scoffed TK as he looked at his sister. “You would never say that you’re too competitive.”

“I’m not the one playing though.” She looked at her hand that was now staining red. “TK, tissue please.”

He handed her a tissue, muttering a small apology for the previous hit.

“Apparently, little kids bowl in the 60s. So…” Paul told the twins.

“Oh, well,” TK leaned forwards, waggling his finger at Paul as he pretended to be strict. “Then you should be ashamed of yourself.”

“Thank god you were never an actor.” Kasey muttered into her bloody tissue as she watched TK.

“Maybe.” Smirked Paul.

“I’m guessing it went well.” Kasey said.

And with that Paul stood up as he saw the girl who previously went on a date with.

It was just Kasey and Owen at his house as TK went out. Kasey would’ve came but she was catching the next flight out as she had work again tomorrow morning. She helped out around the 126 and went on some calls with them, but it didn’t feel right. It felt wrong helping a team that wasn’t hers. There was no Bobby with his amazing cooking skills or letting Kasey off the hook when she went against his orders. Kasey didn’t feel comfortable doing anything like that with the 126. There was no Chimney and his jokes or his expertise. There was no Hen who looked after her and went into fires looking like a badass. There was no Buck. She didn’t have her best friend with her who she would bicker and joke around with.

And finally there was no Eddie. There was none of his kindness or comforting nature. He wasn’t there with his gorgeous smile that made her feel like everything was going to be okay. He wasn’t there to laugh at her mischievous behaviour. There was no new guy who she has grown close to.

They weren’t her team.

“Heading back to LA?” Owen questioned as he saw Kasey tying up her converses.

“Yeah, thanks for letting me stay for a few nights.”

“Your my daughter, you can come down whenever.” He leaned against the wall by the front door as he looked at his daughter who sat on the stairs. “I’m just surprised it took you this long to come down.”

“What?” She smiled faintly as she looked up at her dad as she put her other foot in her shoe.

“Just it would’ve been nice for you to come down when you found out about TK’s relapse. You know to support TK; he would’ve wanted his sister here when he needed her.”

“To support TK?” She questioned as she stood up. “He told me not to come.”

“And it’s your fault for listening to him.”

“I would’ve came in a heartbeat.” Kasey snapped as she pointed a finger to the ground angrily before pointing it towards her dad at her next line. “I would’ve came in a heartbeat like I did with you when I found about you having cancer. But TK called me and told me not to come.”

“He wasn’t thinking straight.”

The front door opened.

“Dad? Kas? I can hear you from outside.”

Kasey’s finger dropped and moved to her side where her hand rolled into a clenching fist as she glared daggers at her dad. Her blood was boiling, ready to erupt like a volcano. She pursed her lips together to hold back any nasty comments, but her throat was desperately telling her to scream at him whilst her mind raced through different comments she could make. Her heart was beating fast the longer she held her tongue.  

“You weren’t out for long.” Owen stated as he glared at his daughter who stared straight back at him.

“The club we went to wasn’t the best.” TK answered, looking back and fourth at the pair. “I feel like I came home at the wrong time.”

“Nah, TK, your fine. It’s just dad telling me how wrong I am once again.” Kasey answered emotionlessly.

“I’m just saying that your never here when this family needs you.”

“Your one to talk.” Kasey laughed bitterly. “You were never there when we needed you. You decided that you didn’t have time for us!” Kasey raised her voice as she pointed her finger at her dad. “You left us with mum and Enzo because you decided not to be a dad. You didn’t have time for us, and I didn’t have time for Mum or Enzo, because I wanted you. I wanted my dad…” Her voice went softer as much more needy at her next words. Desperate for Owen to hear them. “I needed you…and you weren’t there.”

“I went through something traumatic.”

“So did I! But I kept on going and didn’t let that effect my life.”

“It will one day, Kasey, trust me. One day it will all become too heavy for you because you’re not strong enough!”

“Dad-” TK tried to interrupt the argument, but they didn’t listen to him.

“You don’t go to therapy because your too scared. If you just let me-”

“Let you what? Control my life like your doing to TK? Yeah, no thanks. You tried to once and that didn’t lead me to anything good, did it?”

“I’m not controlling TK’s life.” Owen scoffed, shaking his head at his daughter’s accusation.

“Dad, you’re forcing TK to do everything. This isn’t how you help someone heal and you know that! You know that because you tried to help me, but that took me straight to a hospital bed, didn’t it?! You can’t tell someone how to get better. Everyone works differently, we can support them, but we can’t force them how they get better!”

“Leave.” Owen said through gritted teeth.

“Gladly.” Kasey snarled back, grabbing her duffle bag. “See you around, TK.” And with that she left the front door, heading back home to a family that cares and loves her.

She was going back to where she belonged.

“I feel like I’ve died now that she’s gone.” Buck muttered sadly, head leaning on his arms as he rolled his apple back and fourth on the table.

“She only went to Texas, Buck.” Hen laughed, hitting the apple back towards him when it stops in front of her.

“I can still hear her voice sometimes.” He sighed.

“I said a whop bop b-luma b-lop bam bom.”

“See…I just heard her again.” Buck’s ear perked up at the goofy sound as he looked around in search for his best friend before looking back down at the table in dejection. “But she’s gone.”

“No, I heard that too.” Hen raised her finger slightly, as if she was going to tell Buck to be quiet so she can listen out for the voice again.

“Same.” Chimney piped in.

“I said a whop bop b-luma b-lop bam bom. Tutti Frutti, oh rooty.”

“There it is again.”

“Is it possible for Kasey to sing really loudly for us to hear in LA?”

“No, Chim, we probably all just missing her too much.”

“Eddie, don’t add into everyone else’s nonsense.”

“But, Bobby, did you not hear her?”

“Got a girl named Daisy. She almost drives me crazy.”

“Okay, fine, we’re all going crazy.”

“At least I’m not the only one anymore.”

“She’s still in Texas right?”

“She left me, all alone.”

“A whop bop b-luma b-lop bam bom.”

They heard other firefighter greeting someone.

“Right?”

Steps were climbing up the stairs.

“I miss her. You miss her. Hen misses her. The whole 118 misses her. Eddie misses her. Christopher misses her. Bear misses her. Hell, I think her crazy next-door neighbour misses her.”

“Ms Matthews defiantly does not miss me.”

“KASEY!”

Buck chair flew behind him as he ran towards the brunette, crushing her into a tight hug.

“Buck, can’t breathe.”

“You returned to me.”

“Buck.” She gasped out.

“You came back.”

“Buckaroo-”

“You-”

“Buck, let Kas breathe.” Eddie chucked, pulling the blond off from the girl who was trying to reframe her breathing.

“How’s your family?” Bobby asked, hands on his hips, smiling at the 24-year-old.

“I don’t know…how are you guys?” She grinned.

“I meant your dad and TK.”

“Oh, they’re alright.” She shrugged; the argument still fresh in her mind. “How’s my best friend?” She asked Buck.

“I’m great now!” Buck beamed. “Can you like never leave me again because-”

“I was talking about Bear.” Kasey told him blankly.

“Oh…Well he isn’t dead.”

“So, he’s good then.” Buck didn’t answer. “Right?” Buck whistled and started to walk away. “Buckaroo get your ass back over here! Is Bear okay? Buck!”

“Grab a creeper and some blocks.” Booby instructed Buck and Eddie.

“Chris alright?” Kasey asked Eddie.

“Holy crap, you are hot.” A women said as Buck passed her.

“He always is. He never stops talking about you. But he’s alright.”

The bar reminded Kasey a bit of Texas when she entered. Loud cheering was heard everywhere inside the building as they applauded for the lady riding an electronic bull.

“Okay, guys, the strippers are here.” Said a different girl that was guiding the firefighters.

“I missed those.” Kasey whined.

“What?” Eddie looked over his shoulder briefly at the girl.

“When I was in Texas, TK got a call to where loads of hot strippers were, but I didn’t go.” Kasey frowned slightly. “But apparently it was a mess, girls fighting everywhere…But I wanted to see some hot strippers.”

Eddie chuckled lightly, shaking his head. “We did miss you, Kas. You and your randomness.”

“I missed you guys too.” She bit her lip slightly, hesitating to ask Eddie the thing that has been on her mind since the night she stayed round. “Hey, after this call can I ask you something?”

“Sure.”

“It’s nothing major…I don’t think…just an idea.”

“So, I should be scared.”

“No.” She grinned.

Eddie nibbled onto his bottom lip nervously, this idea could literally be anything.

“Oh shit.” Kasey muttered as she saw the lady’s head in the tailpipe. “They weren’t joking.”

“Hi, what’s her name?” Chimney asked a man.

“Betty.” They confidently told him.

“Jennifer.” The muffled voice of the lady corrected.

“You don’t even know the lady’s name?” Kasey questioned the man.

“Not worth remembering.” He looked Kasey up and down. “But if you tell me yours beautiful, I defiantly remember it.” He bit his lip as he swayed closer to Kasey who was just appalled at his attempt at flirting.

Kasey rolled her eyes and so did Eddie as he grunted in annoyance at the man’s behaviour.

“I guess I just call you beautiful from now on.” He then noticed that Chimney was looking at him. “I thought you meant my truck when you asked for her name.”

“This is your truck?” Bobby asked.

“Yeah, but it’s not like I backed into her. She did this out of her own free will.” Buck and Kasey crouched down to see the situation in a different angle.

“You dared her to.” The girl in the pink top butted in.

“We were flirting.”

“This is flirting?” Kasey asked, she had even more disgust for the man.

“If you’re not into this baby, I can flirt with you in a different way.”

“Ew, gross.”

Eddie glared at the man.

“Your idea of flirting with a girl is daring her to stick her head into your tailpipe?” Eddie questioned, getting more annoyed of the man, but one reason of that annoyance outweighed everything else.

Kasey went under the car.

“Hi, Jennifer. LAFD. How you feeling?” Chimney asked her in concern.

“Uh, pretty good, actually. Except for this whole, you know,” Eddie handed a tape measure to Kasey as he kneeled down, “ginormous tailpipe on my head.”

“Hey, Jennifer, you’re gonna feel me poking around.”

“That’s what she said.” Snickered Kasey.

“Kasey!” Bobby called.

“Sorry.” She bit her lip to contain her giggles.

Buck snickered behind his hand whilst Eddie smirked.

“We’re just checking you out, okay?” Hen continued.

“All right.” Jennifer replied casually.

“Why is this tailpipe so large?” Chimney asked, hands on his knees as he watched everything happening.

“It’s custom.” Brent said, the man who was flirting with Kasey earlier.

“Where’d she get these bruises on her arm?” Bobby asked.

“That wasn’t me.”

“It’s from the bull.” The other girl who guided them through the bar said. “She rode it, like, five times.”

“There’s no way we’re gonna get a collar on her.” Chimney muttered to the team.

“I got it.”

“Get me out of this thing.”

Kasey slid out from under the car. “These things are meant to increase the power to the engine.”

“Yup.” Brent grinned. “Glad to know your stuff, babygirl.”

Eddie huffed another angry breath.

The team looked at Kasey, but she just shook her head.

“How you know that Kas?” Hen asked.

“I, er, just know it.” She winced when she saw her team looking at her with raised eyebrows. “Fast and Furious?”

“TSA 230 saw should do the job.” Bobby evaluated.

“Oh, yeah, like a knife through butter.” Buck said.

“Chim?”

“Excuse me. Way ahead of you, Cap.”

“What?!” Exclaimed Brent. “No, I spent 1,200 bucks on that tailpipe.”

“You might want to close your eyes during this part.” Bobby told him.

“You know, I don’t feel bad at all.” Kasey whispered to Eddie.

“Oh, yeah.” Eddie smirked, arms across his chest as he looked at the guy.

“Just type your number in my phone.” The girl in the pink top told him. “And I’ll text you, so you have mine.”

“Yeah, no.” Kasey laughed out. “He’s not Buck 1.0 anymore.”

“Are you his girlfriend?”

“Ew, no, worse, I’m his best friend. Now move.” Kasey moved away from the pair and towards more towards the truck as she squatted down to take another look.

“Yeah, thanks, but I actually have a girlfriend.” Buck told her. “And I need to focus right now so my captain doesn’t cut your friend’s head off.”

“Hi. Do you have Snapchat?” The friend of the girl in the pink top asked Eddie. Kasey looked behind her quickly but regretted it straight away when she saw the girl’s hand on Eddie’s bicep.

Kasey didn’t know why her lips fell into a pout. Or why her eyes narrowed at the sight of the girl touching Eddie. She doesn’t know why her tongue ran across her top teeth as she pursed her lips. And she doesn’t know why her stomach stiffened at the sight of them.

“No. And uh, I don’t think I’m what you’re looking for. I have…I have a son.”

And just like that Kasey’s snaps out of what she was feeling and shakes her head as she looks back at the job at hand. But her ears perks up once again when the girl continues to talk.

“That’s great. So do I.”

‘Yeah, whatever.’ Kasey scoffed to herself, biting her lip as she breathed in deeply. Buck throws her a small glance, raising his brow at her with uncertainty. But she just ignores him and continues following Bobby’s orders. ‘There’s no way she be going near Chris.’

“I think I’m gonna puke.” Jennifer called out.

‘And thank god for Jennifer,’ Kasey thought to herself as Jennifer got the girl to stop talking and for Eddie to move away…she shook her head again, why did she care if he was with her?

“Can I have your number, gorgeous?” A man walked up to Kasey.

“Nope, sorry, don’t have a phone.” She lied as she went back to her work.

Eddie glances at Kasey, smiling slightly at how quickly she got the man away.

But that smile was what Buck caught sight of.

He saw the small smile of Eddie’s and he followed his eyeline and noticed he was looking at her. His best friend. His eyes travelled back to Eddie then back at Kasey, before realisation hits and he stares at Eddie with his mouth open like a fish.

“What?” Eddie asked him.

“These fire guys are totally hot.”

“Especially the babe over there.”

Buck shook his head quickly and when Eddie stopped looking at him Buck smirks slightly.

“All right, what say we move the peanut gallery a few steps over this way. Thank you.” Chimney said as he guided the men and women away from the firefighters. “Everybody back a little bit, thank you.”

“Hey Kas.” Buck calls.

“Sup.”

“You think you could get loaded fries on the house here?” He smirks and Kasey breathlessly chuckles.

“None of this stuff you two, we’re working.” Bobby told the troubling two.

“Maybe.” She smirks at Buck, throwing him a wink before turning back to face the truck with her arms crossed over her chest.

“All right, Jennifer,” Hen started to say, “keep your head completely still. You’re gonna hear a lot of noise, but everything is fine.”

Bobby took the saw and went under the truck to cut a part of the tailpipe off. The sounds of the saw whirring and grinding silenced the chatter behind the three younger firefighters as they watched Bobby.

“What are you doing?!” Jennifer squeals.

“All right, almost there.” Bobby pushes himself out from underneath the car as Hen smiles at him.

“Okay.” Her and Eddie helped to sit Jennifer up. “Easy.”

“We need lube.”

“I have some.” The girl who flirted with Buck said, but instead Chimney threw him some. He squirted it at the top of the tube, allowing the pipe to slide off.

“Slowly. Slowly.” Eddie guided. And just like that the tailpipe was off, and the crowd applauded. Jennifer’s eyes gazes at Eddie and Buck.

“Wow, you really are hot.”

“Would you like us to transport you to the hospital, get checked out?” Hen asked her as she held the tailpipe.

“She just needs another drink.” The girl in pink stated, waving her hand carelessly.

“No, what she needs to do is go home.” Bobby told her. “All three of you do, in a cab.” His then looked at Jennifer. “Listen to me. When you sober up, if you feel like you have a headache or blurry vision, or you feel confused, you got to get yourself to a hospital, you understand?”

She just giggles in response.

“Condolences on Betty.” Hen told Brent.

“Loaded fries, right?” Kasey grinned at Buck.

“I bet you can’t.”

“I bet I can.” And with that the youngest firefighter was off towards the bar.

“I can’t believe you two still do that.” Chimney smirked.

“Occasionally, not a lot, but sometimes.” Buck shrugged. He then caught up with Eddie who started to slowly walk away. “Hey, so is your son really the reason you don’t date?”

“That, and…they weren’t my type.”

“What is your type then?”

Eddie stops his movement, and his eyes unconsciously went towards  Kasey who was leaning on the bar, elbows resting in front of her as she spoke to the barman. Buck watches how he looks at her, how his eyes go all soft and just stares at her in awe, even if she wasn’t doing anything.

Well, to Buck it looked like she was just at the bar, he didn’t know what Eddie saw when he looked at her.

“I knew it!” He shouted in excitement. Clapping his hands before pointing towards Eddie and Kasey with a big smile.

“Knew what?”

“You like Ka-mmmh.” Eddie hand shots up to covers Buck’s big mouth before he could tell the world his secret. It felt like they were children whispering about their crushes, not wanting anyone else to hear.

“Shut up.” He told him through gritted teeth, warning him with his eyes.

“It’s true.” He whispered happily. “I-oh-this is great! You’ll be great for her! Oh my god you should tell-”

“No.” He muttered, shaking his head as he took a glance at Kasey. “She’s never going to like me the way I like her…but I’m still going to wait for her because I have this strange feeling that we’re meant to be together.”

“You think Kasey doesn’t like you?” Buck asks but neither one continues talking about it as they catch sight of Kasey skipping happily towards them with loaded fries in her hands.

“What’s that, 10 million to me and none to you? What a sad life you’re living Buckaroo.” She teased Buck as she plopped one fry into her mouth.

“They just never give me anything on the house.” Buck shrugged as he tried to take one of Kasey’s fries, but she slaps his hand away.

“It’s not like they don’t see you…They just don’t like what they see.” Kasey smirked.

Eddie barks out a loud laugh whilst Buck just stares at her in shock.

“Kasey River Strand.”

“Oof full name. Buckaroo mad.” Kasey laughed. “Eds, you want some.” She handed the small basket of fries to Eddie, who takes some with a polite “thank you.”

“Excuse you.” Buck said with offense.

“You’re excused.”

“So, having a kid and not them being you type is the reason you don’t date.” Buck asks Eddie whilst Kasey just eats happily next to them.

“It’s complicated when you have a kid.” Eddie sighs.

“Come on, that’s a weak excuse.”

“You live in your invisible girlfriend’s house.” He pointed to Buck before pointing to himself. “And you’re telling me about weak excuses.”

Buck stutters out more excuses whilst Kasey chuckles next to him.

“That’s what I’ve been saying.” She said through a mouthful of food.

“Oh shush.”

Eddie phone vibrates and he walks away slightly from Buck and Kasey as he tries to fight her to get some fries.

“Hello?” He stops his movement as the person on the other line tells him something. “What?” He ask with slight confusion, brows raising, and lips staying apart. “Which one?”

Eddie, Buck, and Kasey marches through the hospital. Well, more like Eddie does as Kasey and Buck didn’t really know what was happening, they were just following him.

“My aunt.” He tells the two before jogging up towards her.

“Tia ¿Qué pasó? Is Christopher okay?” His walked towards her, arms opening wide to embrace his aunt into a hug.

Kasey looks around the hospital slightly before looking back at the pair as she fiddled her fingers nervously.

“Yes.” She sighs. “You mean Prince Charming, hmm?” She points a finger towards Christopher who was laughing with a nurse. “He’s peachy.” Eddie turns to face his aunt again. “It’s your abuela. She broke her hip.”

“What? How?”

“She was out back on the steps and calling him to come inside. She lost her balance. Christopher called 911. The rescue got there really quick.”

“I want to see her.”

“No, she’s sleeping now.” She turns to look at Buck and Kasey. “And, uh, who are they?”

“This is Buck and Kasey. We all work together.” Eddie informed her.

“Mm. I thought you just dressed alike.”

“This is my Aunt Josefina. Pepa.”

“Hi.”

“Hey, it’s really nice meet you.” Kasey gave her a small smile that she returns before she turns back to look at Eddie with sad eyes.

“You can’t keep doing this, Eddie. You cannot keep leaving him with her. She’s not up to it.”

“I know. I know, and I’m sorry.” Eddie sighs. “I...I’m trying to find some permanent help, it’s just…too many forms to fill out. It’s worse than the V.A.”

Buck and Kasey shares a look, as if they were sharing the same look, and nodded at one another before looking back at Eddie and Josefina.

“I can’t believe your gringa ex stuck you with all of this.”

Eddie glances at his friends than back at his aunt. “I’m not stuck, Tia.” He mutters.

“Do you have to go back to work?” Eddie doesn’t respond and Josefina does a side shrug. “Ah. And you’re not stuck.” She sighs and shakes her head gently. “I’ll keep him tonight, but you need to get this figured out.”

“Daddy.” Chris calls to him, giggling and Eddie smiles at the sight of him and walks up to him.

“Hey, buddy. Hey.” He laughs and picks his son up.

“Must be rough.” Buck begins as the three of them watch the father and son duo.

“Raising any child alone is rough.” Josefina stares at the sight of them in blue. “My nephew is a saint. But I pray for him anyway.”

“Eddie’s a good dad though…Of what I’ve seen anyway.” Kasey stated.

“Hmm-mmm. I just wish he could just find someone who could help him.” She then turns to look at Kasey, looking her up and down and smiling at her. “Kasey, you said?”

“Hmm?” She turns to look at Eddie’s aunt. “Oh, yeah, my name’s Kasey.”

“I’ve heard good things about you.” She nodded in approval. “Beautiful as well.”

Kasey just furrows her eyebrows and frowns in confusion, whilst Buck holds back a smirk.

“Look after them, Kasey.” She told her softly.

“Course.”

“I do this too much?” Chimney laughed as he did a chattering gesture with his hands to Christopher who sat between Kasey and Eddie.

“We all agree.”

“Believe me.”

The firehouse was full of laughter as they all talked to Christopher. Eddie’s arm was stretched over the back of the sofa, gently touching Kasey’s back.

“Christopher, I thought we were buddies-What happened.” Chimney exclaimed with laughter.

“What’s this.” Bobby walked towards the group and the laughing died down at the sight of him. “I don’t remember asking the chief for reinforcements.” Eddie licked his lips nervously as he looks at Bobby and his kid. “You any good with the hose, kid?”

“I can try.”

“All right.”

“So sorry. Cap.” Eddie stood to talk to Bobby. “My aunt’s trying to get off work early, but until then, I…I didn’t know where to take him.”

“Yeah, you did. Right here.” He nodded towards Kasey. “Kasey gave me the heads-up. I already cleared it with the chief.” Eddie throws a grateful look at Kasey who just winks at him.

An alarm rings.

“Attention, station…” A male voice speaks over the P.A.

“All right. Let’s go. Let’s go.”

“These are great,” Chimney tapped his headphones as he speaks to Christopher as they sat in the fire engine. “See, cause we can talk to each other.”

“They’re not that great if we have to hear you voice, Chim.” Teased Kasey causing Christopher to giggle.

He, Hen, Chim, Eddie and Kasey sat at the back of the truck whilst Buck and Bobby sat in the front.

“Actually, I see where your coming from.” Chim pointed his finger at Kasey who just grins in return. “Sometimes I wish I had a mute button for Buck and Kas.” He told Christopher.

“Ouch.”

The truck horns honks.

“Oh, I’m sorry, were you saying something?” Buck innocently asked.

“You have a scar on your head.” Christopher pointed out.

Eddie clenches his teeth and closes his eyes, sighing, worried that Chimney would be offended at his observation.

“That’s very observant, kid. I had an accident.” He pointed at his forehead. “Got a big metal rod stuck in my head, but the doctor took care of it. You ever have surgery?”

“Two times.”

“Actually, three times.” Eddie corrected as he smiled down at his kid.

Chimney frowned and nodded in proudness. “Well, you got me beat. Now I feel kind of lame. But not as lame as Kasey looks in a hospital. Did you know that she freaks out by even being close to a hospital?”

Kasey gave him a ‘are-you-serious look.’

“No.” Christopher giggled. “Is that true Kas?”

“No,” she pursed her lips to hide a smile as she heard her nickname coming from the little guy’s mouth. She felt like jumping up and down in joy as this was the first time he called her Kas. This much mean he was getting more comfortable around her, right? She and Eddie won’t immediately stop being friends because his kid doesn’t like her, and maybe the thing Kasey wants to ask Eddie won’t be so bad after all. “He’s over-exaggerating.”

“But he isn’t though.” Hen grinned at Christopher. “Your dad ever tell you why we call him Chimney?” She leaned forwards to move closer to Christopher. Chimney shook his head ferociously at Hen, whilst Kasey watches in amusement, happy that they weren’t teasing her for her fear of hospitals.

“No. No. No, no, no, no.”

“I’ll tell you the story later.”

When they arrived at the car collision Bobby started to inform Christopher on what’s going on whilst instructing his team on what to do.

“Get the jaws of life.” He said to Eddie before he went to talk to Christopher who was standing on a small platform on the fire engine. Bobby’s arm was around him, so he didn’t fall. “Now, you see, her air bags went off, so that protected her. She’s gonna be fine. You know what happens sometimes?”

“People get stuck.”

“That’s right, people get stuck.” They eyes were fixed on Kasey and Buck who had to keep on swapping to have go’s at trying to break through the car door with a Halligan bar. “But we have a tool called the Jaws of Life.” Eddie passes them with the tool at hand. “And that’s what your dad’s gonna use right now. Thanks to him, she’s gonna make it home for dinner.”

“Yeah.”

“Yeah.”

“Alright.” Chimney granted as he waddled towards Christopher with a rolled-up hoses for him to step onto to play with the pinball machine. “Christopher, come over here. Ready?” He picks him up. “Nice.” And he stands next to the machine, watching the youngest Diaz play. “Christopher, here we go. Here we go. Good job. Look at that. You’re doing it.” He praised him. “Did you get a bonus already? Look at how good you are. You’re a natural.”

Christopher tried some of Bobby’s cooking and ended the day with Buck, Hen and Chimney at the top of the pole helping Christopher to slide down to Eddie and Kasey.

“You’re a born firefighter.” Chimney grunted.

“Come down, bud.”

“Yeah, you’re doing great, little man.”

“One more firefighter. Look at that! Yay!” Chimney cheered along with the rest of the team.

“Whoa. You nailed it, kid.”

“Good job.”

“Well done, little man.” She messed up Christopher’s hair. “You did something Buck is too terrible to do.”

“Hey!”

“All right, fun’s over.” Eddie said with slight disappointment as he saw his aunt. He loved how his team all welcomed Christopher with open arms and made him apart of the founded family.

“Bye Christopher.”

“Later Christopher.”

“Bye, Christopher.”

“See you, little man.”

“Bye.”

“See you next time.”

“Bye.”

Josefina opened her arms up to Christopher as Eddie picked up his crutches and held his hand.

“Good job, today kiddo.”

“You, too, Cap.”

“Hola, mi amor. Okay, vamanos.”

When they walked away Eddie immediately pulled Bobby into a hug, patting his back severely times as a thank you.

Hen walked up to the 118 team as they walked through the halls of the shopping centre with various amount of equipment, not knowing what they would be handling with.

“Hey, I guess they’d been working on the escalator overnight. The floor panel on the landing – it must not have been put back securely.”

“Daniel, help is here. The fire department is here.” She called to the man in the escalator. “Please tell me he’s gonna be okay. Please help him.” She begged Hen as she helped her to stand.

“We’re gonna do everything we can, okay? We’re…They’re gonna take it over from here. What’s his name?”

“It’s Daniel.” She held the small red box closely to her chest.

“Hey, Daniel, can you hear me?” Bobby called down.

“We got to get this step out of here.”

They pulled it out.

“All right, Chim, you’re in.” And with that Chimney climbed through the gap, examining the severely injured man that was trapped in the chain of the escalator.

“I got a pulse guys.”

“Oh, thank god.” The women breathed a sigh of relief as she bent down. Kasey and Hen was holding her for comfort whilst Chim did his job. Kasey’s stomach twisted and she nibbled at her lip, worried that her instinct is telling her something is going to go wrong.

“Talk to me, Chim. What you got?” Bobby crouched down as Chimney stood up through the gap.

“It’s not good.”

“What’s happening? Why are you stopping?”

“Whoa, whoa, whoa, easy, easy,” Kasey gently said as she carefully pulled her away so she couldn’t see the damage. She didn’t want, if it was the case, her to see her partner like this if it was the last time she would ever see him.

“The chain is sitting on top of his femoral artery. It’s possible it’s even nicked it.”

“Loosening it might make it worse. It could be keeping him from bleeding out.” Eddie informed Bobby.

“All right, let’s get him out of there. Chim, tie him off. Hen, get an I.V, run it wide open.”

“Copy that.”

“And Kas.”

“Yeah.”

But all Bobby did was give her a look. A look that told her to stay with the distressed women. Buck came over and helped Kasey comfort the women.

“Daniel.” The lady runs towards the gap of the escalator. Buck and Kasey looked at each other in sadness, knowing that what she was going to see wasn’t going to be anything good. Kasey stepped forwards to guide her back slowly, whilst she covered her mouth and cried silent tears as she listened to Daniel cries of pain.

They placed him onto the stretcher and to no one surprise, the crowd watching them clapped.

“What did she say?” he breathed out and Chimney looked up to see the lady wearing the blue ring pop on her finger.

“I think she said yes, buddy.”

And just like Kasey’s gut told her…

…Something bad happened.

He started to cough, choaking on the red liquid that was spilling out from his mouth and nose. His blood pressured dropped, the sound of the machine next to them wasn’t helping them to calm their nerves. His breathing was shallow and quick. They couldn’t find a pulse. They started to do CPR and Kasey could only watch them. She held her breath and hoped for a miracle. She rubbed her hands up and down the women’s arms in a way to comfort her. But she didn’t really know what she was comforting her from. She knew the lady wasn’t stupid, she could see as clear as day that Daniel wasn’t do so good. But Kasey believed that if she tried to help the lady, then she’s doing her order. But she left her arms and knelt down to Daniel.

“Daniel? Oh, please, God.”

“Ma’am, you have to stand back. Let them do their job, okay.” Bobby told the crying girl, pulling her away from the heart-shattering scene.

The monitor was slowly beeping until-

-The flatline.

His heart stopped but Chimney didn’t.

He didn’t until Hen told him to do so with a hand on his shoulder. She told him those two heart-shattering words and the lady broke down. She rushed towards Daniel. Crying out his name. Begging him to come back to her. She prayed for a miracle. But it wasn’t coming. She cried over him. She called his name, begging him to hear her. But he didn’t.

He didn’t come back to her…

Kasey opened her apartment door, one hand was turning the key’s as her foot pushed the door wider, whilst her other hand carried a Chinese takeaway. Her keychains of small images of the ones she cares about clanged together along with the other stupid decorations that was attached to her keys.

“Bear, honey, I’m home.” She called out into the darkness. But she didn’t hear the patters of his feet.

Bear usually was waiting by the door, jumping onto Kasey the minute she opened the door. No matter the time of day.

But nothing.

Bear wasn’t there to greet her, like he usually does.

She frowned at the lost of contact of Bear, but shook her head, nevertheless.

‘He’s probably sleeping’ She told herself.

She flickered on the hallway light as she used her feet to take off her shoes.

“Bear! You won’t believe the day that I’ve had.” Kasey called out again.

Truth be told, Bear may have been a police dog, he was trained in all facility’s before his accident. But police dog or not, Kasey found comfort in him as he looked after her, he kept her safe from anything bad that may happen to her. He was like a therapy dog to her. No one could understand Kasey the way Bear does. They were connected the first moment they met each other.

“Bear?” She tried again but he still didn’t come.

She heard the scratches of the door, a dog whimpering and barking at it.

Kasey put down her Chinese box and took of her jacket as she approached the closed guest bedroom door.

He never went in there unless Buck was in there.

And Kasey wouldn’t have closed the door on him, shutting him out from the rest of the apartment.

Kasey’s hand hovered over the metal handle, but before she could pull it down, something hard hit her in the head, knocking her down as she laid on her side, arms outstretched, and eyes fluttering.

The last thing she saw was muddy black boots before it all went black.

Darkness.

Most were scared of the dark. The fear starting from when they were at a young age. A time where they believed monsters lived under their bed and they would only come out if it was dark. The light was a form of protection to keep all the evil things away from them. That could be why many adults still run up the stairs and straight under the covers the second they switched the lights off. The dark leaves us vulnerable and exposed as we’re unable to see anything lurking through the shadows.

Nyctophobia was the term for fearing the dark. And it’s one of most common fears across different ages. Yet, it was also one of the most common fears for people not to admit on having. Fearing the dark has been around for thousands of years, making humans evolve to having a natural fear of the dark. However, most believe that it’s not the dark that scares them, but it’s the unknown. The not knowing what’s out there builds up this anxiety inside us, making us believe in things that aren’t actually there, us humans have this incredibly ability to form faces or shapes in the dark, causing this fear to rise inside of us.

However, being afraid of the dark means we’re very aware of things. But that doesn’t overpower the negatives of this fear. It doesn’t take away the lack of sleep, the anxiety, or even mental disorders such as depression. It doesn’t take away the constant jumpiness or the frightful images we can create with our minds. It doesn’t take away the things that might have caused these fears like paranormal activity or abuse. The darkness was something kids hated before they could grow out of it. But that fear never leaves us, because if it did why do we still run when we turn off the lights?

Kasey feared the dark once.

She didn’t really have parents to save her from this fear as her dad was always M.I.A and her mum was always busy with Enzo or TK – TK was afraid of the dark too.

Kasey had to fight this fear alone as her parents were always to busy for her, she was always the second choice to them.

So, when night came, she would turn off her nightlight for a few seconds before turning it back on as her breathing increased. Her blanket was always to her chin and her little green eyes would search for anything that may come and get her. She did the light test again, but one night it never turned back on when she touched it due to a power shortage.

She remembers hearing TK crying to their mum about the monsters that may get him in the dark. She remembers hearing their feet walk past her door and towards her mum and Enzo’s bedroom. She thinks TK stayed in their for the night.

Kasey remembers how tight her chest felt that night, as her little fingers kept on tapping her nightlight, hoping that it come back on.

But it never did.

She remembers thinking something was in her room, and she silently screeched in fear, hoping it didn’t get her.

But nothing ever came.

Her bottom lip would wobble, and her eyes would fill with tears threatening to escape. But she tried not to make a sound. She didn’t want anyone worrying about her or tell her to grow up, even if her brother was crying about it. She didn’t want to alert the darkness that she was there, in the bed that once was pink. But now it was painted grey because Kasey started to hate the colour, so she painted over it.

She was nine when the power cut happened. She was nine when the storm rolled in, causing the branches of the tree outside her window to crash into it. She was nine, when she wished the night to be over with. She was nine when she cried silently in fear that something was going to happen to her in the night. She was nine when she only had herself to protect from the dark.

She was nine when she overcame her fear.

She stayed up all night and that’s when she realised it was just a pile of clothes on a chair and not a person. She realised that there was nothing lurking in the dark, and nothing was going to come out and hurt her.

She was eighteen when she realised it’s the vulnerability the dark made you that caused you to fear it.

The war ground wasn’t a place to be no matter the time or day. But for Kasey fighting during storms, harsh rains or at night was the worst. You could never see when a gun was being pointed at you or when a grenade landed next to you until it was too late. She realised that it wasn’t just monsters that you should fear at night, it was the frightening sounds of it. It was the sounds of screaming, crying, bones cracking, guns shooting. It was the sound of your ears ringing, and it was the muffled sounds of your team-mates voices. It was the sound of nothing that Kasey feared the most. When everything just fell quiet and as you couldn’t see anything you didn’t know if everyone was just dead. If she was dead. Or if the enemies of the US had left the fields and went somewhere else. Silence of the night was what Kasey feared.

She was twenty-two when she came back from the war and realised that she couldn’t sleep in silence.

She had to search different sounds that didn’t remind her of Afghanistan to get her to sleep. She liked the sound of water, especially waterfalls, she could sleep to that easily. But she couldn’t fall asleep to rain or storms as it reminded her to much of the battlefields. She could fall asleep to whales. She was no where near whales so she could never hear them calling for one another to come home. Something that made her scared as she thought she would never have it. But she couldn’t fall asleep to birds or crickets. She heard a lot of them when she travelled around, there might not have been fighting going on, but it was the trip to hell.

She was twenty-three when she realised that silence wasn’t so bad.

She was able to sleep in silence once again when she got Bear. He slept at the end of her bed, and he would cuddle into her when he felt fear radiating of her – he still does it now as she never truly healed from anything – Bear hardly ever barked, he barked when there was danger, it was what he was taught to do. But he never barked when he felt Kasey’s fear, he whined and licked her face as he moved closer to her. He would follow her around if she got up, making sure nothing happened to her. Kasey could sleep in silence again, but she couldn’t live in her apartment with no sounds, she always had to have some music playing the background, and if she didn’t fear would rise through her once again. She could sleep in the dark without any noises again because her bed become a safe place to her. She tricked her mind into thinking that nothing will happen to her if she was in bed. But Kasey thought that maybe she actually never could sleep in silence because she only thought she could once she got Bear. But whilst she tries to sleep she could hear his soft snores, and Kasey found comfort in them as they lured her to sleep.

It was 6 months after getting Bear, she realised she still feared the silence.

She was twenty-four when she realised how wrong she was.

She realised how the dark was a helping hand to the evil spirts of the world, allowing them to blend into the shadows. Kasey realised why so many still feared the dark, not knowing what was out there. She realised that even after all she’s been through she still fears the ordinary things. People told her not to live on her own, especially not in this apartment block. Maybe she should have gotten better security, maybe she wouldn’t feel dizzy in the head. She couldn’t see the light that was meant to protect her from everything. It was like she was that scared nine-year-old girl again, begging for the light to turn back on as she silently cried. She thought she could still hear the banging of the trees. And she almost believed it…until she heard the banging coming from right next to her ear. Her right cheek felt cold, but she couldn’t move. The ringing in her ears came back. It was like she was on the battlefields all over again. Her breathing increased and she felt cold sweat dripping down her face, well she thought it was sweat. Her mouth was dry, it was like she couldn’t make a sound…it was like she was 19 again…one of the days she feared the most. Her hands were trembling again as they laid flat down against her cold floor. The trembling wouldn’t stop…it was like she was there again. She thought she never go back to these days…oh how wrong she was.

She was twenty-four when she realised that it wasn’t just the dark people feared. It was the light too.

She came to terms that the light was just as fearful as the dark. Her nine-year-old self would agree with her too, as the light never turned back on to protect her then. Kasey realised it wasn’t just silence that people feared. It was the loudness too. The ringing in her ears continued and she begged for it to stop. To make it all stop. She didn’t want to feel like this again. The banging next to her ear got louder and louder, it was like gunshots and bombs all over again. Where was the light when she needed it the most? It always left her when she needed it the most. It always left her to defend herself. Where was the light to protect her from the dark? The ringing stopped and so did the bangs. It was silent. And Kasey was scared of the quiet. She wanted the ringing to come back to take her away from the quiet…anything would be better than this. Why couldn’t she hear Bear barking or crying out for her anymore? It was all so quiet. Until it wasn’t…It was like someone pressed the unmute button and all the sounds came back. It was like someone pressed the play button and she could feel herself again.

Her hand moved to the side of her head where she could feel the cold sweet dripping, but it wasn’t sweat; it was blood. She could tell by the stickiness of it. She didn’t know how much there was, but she still felt dazed from the blow to her head. Her eyes fluttered open, before instantly closing as they caught sight of light. There it was the light that was meant to protect her. But as she wakes up from this nightmare, she realised that the light should be feared too, as it helped the darkness with all it’s chaos. Her eyes fluttered open once again, she groaned at the light. Her vision was blurry, but she could see those dark muddy boots again. She was still on the floor of her hallway. She moved to get closer to the wall, eyes closing once more as she sat up against it. But there she heard it, a laugh, a sickening laugh that will haunt her in her dreams.

“You going somewhere princess?” It asked.

Her head shook slightly as she leant against the wall, Bear was still barking, and her hand went to hold her head. She breathed in deeply as she felt the cool liquid run from her hands to her arms. Her eyes flickered as she saw a blood patch on the floor she once laid upon. Her eyes travelled up from the muddy boots to the dark jeans, to the dark jacket and leather gloves, to the baseball bat and then to the face.

The face she knew oh so well.

Jordan Thompson.

Her ex-boyfriend.

“You miss me princess?”

“No,” she croaked out, her throat begging for water due to the roughness of it.

He tucked the baseball bat underneath her chin, making her to look up at him.

“I loved you, you know?” He whispered dangerously before swinging his bat to her head again. She screamed as she landed on the cold floor. She whimpered against it, breathing deeply as more blood rushed out of her head. Her skull didn’t feel broken, she knew what its like, she had much worst before…maybe her bones was getting stronger from the pain it’s been through. She almost wanted to laugh at that ridiculous thought. She clenched her eyes tightly as the pain rushed through her body. Her hands were still shaking, and he was laughing at her pain.

She felt the wooden bat on her back as she laid still on the ground, fingers slightly moving in front of her, in search for something to help her. She turned her face to look at Jordan as he smirked wickedly at her.

His face was so close to hers.

“Don’t worry, your pretty skull isn’t broken yet, but one more hit…” His breath was hot against her cold bloody face. She snarled at him tiredly. “Oh, I knew you were a fighter, princess.” He dug the baseball bat harder into her back. Kasey whined as her face scrunched up. “It’s one of the many things that I love about you.”

Kasey fingers touched something, and she held onto it tightly. And before Jordan even knew it, Kasey’s keys scratched him in the eye, making him fall backwards in pain as he clutched onto his eye.

“You bitch.” He hissed.

Kasey tried to get up, but she couldn’t. She crawled and slowly slide towards the house phone as it was the first glimpse of hope she could see. Her hands clawed into her floor, pulling her across it. She grunted at every movement, her vision getting blurrier and blurrier with each move.

But she couldn’t give up until she knew someone was on there way to save her.

She couldn’t let Jordan win.

She was in a living room, and her bloody hand grabbed onto her white rug. She pulled with all her might, but a foot digging into the back of her leg stopped her. Jordan kicked her in her side, causing her to moan in pain. He used his muddy boot to push her, so she was on her front looking at him.

She noticed the bloody cut running down his left eye.

She noticed his baseball on his shoulder as he grinned down at her.

“Please,” she coughed out.

“Please, what princess?”

“Stop.”

“I really did love you.” And with that he hit her in the ribs.

Her body clenched together as she howled in pain. Her body rolled to the side, and she heard bones cracking slightly at that movement, but she couldn’t think much of it as he kicked her in the stomach. Her bloody hands flew to hold her stomach, but it didn’t do much as Jordan slammed his bat into her ribs again.

Another crack was heard.

“Why couldn’t you have learnt to love me? You have a heart full of love for the world and everything in it…but you couldn’t learn to love me?” He said through gritted teeth, watching Kasey slight roll around in pain. “I would love you better than anyone else.”

“I-If y-you l-loved me…w-why y-you che-chea-t on m-me?” She stuttered; the pain was becoming too much.

She felt tingling in her face. She didn’t know if he punched her.

But she did feel blood rushing down her nose.

She coughed.

And the bright red liquid ran down her lips, onto her chin.

She held her hands up so she could see the disaster. Her shaky hands shook in front of her, and she couldn’t she a glimpse of skin.

Her eyes was fluttering shut but she had to fight to stay awake.

She wasn’t dying…not today.

She felt the bat dig into her stomach causing her to whelp in pain.

She heard a handle shaking along with Bear’s barks.

She never heard him bark so much before.

“I love you.” He bent down so he could stoke Kasey’s face, pushing her lips together slightly as he waited to hear her say it back…but she never did. He bit his lip hard, and his fingers moved down to her throat, grabbing a firm hold of it. Kasey started to wheeze, and a hand went to his wrist, squeezing it, hoping he would let go. She was choking as she looked into his eyes that had a whirl of darkness in them. She knew she was crying; she knew tears was rolling down her cheeks, but she couldn’t feel it. Her body was becoming too numb. Her nails sunk deeper into his skin.

“P-p-please.” She croaked out, her lungs was screaming at her, begging her for some air.

His hands let go of her neck and Kasey gasped for the air desperately. He slapped her in the face once before leaning down so his lips brushed against hers as he muttered his next words. “I would never hurt you again as long as you love me.”

Kasey panted as her lungs were still searching for air, but the only thing she could breathe in was his hot breath.

“I love you.” He repeated.

“N-no.” She whimpered breathlessly.

Jordan clicked his tongue, his let go of her face and stood up, grabbing his bat as he did so.

Kasey thought this was it. He was finally leaving and if she tried she would be able to get to the phone that sat by the TV, which was really close to where she was laying.

“I really do love you.”

And with that Kasey watched how he held the bat up again, over his head, as he grinned madly down at her, his body and face was covered in blood, she didn’t know if it was hers or his.

The bat was lowering, and she was preparing for impact.

But a door opened, and loud angry barking filled the living room.

She watched how Bear jumped onto Jordan, bearing his teeth at him before they sunk into his arm.

She heard how he cried out in pain, baseball dropping next to her.

The handle bounced on the floor before the base of it hit the ground. It bounced slightly more before it rolled closely to her chest.

It was red.

And she knew this was in fact her blood.

Her eyes fluttered shut and she heard a something heavy slam into the wall with a soft whine. Bear… she tried to call, but no words fell from her bloody lips.

Bear was the last thing she saw before her eyes rolled back, and she was welcomed back into the darkness.

A soft kiss being pressed against her lip was the last thing she felt.

The last thing she tasted was the blood in her mouth that was spilling out from the corner of her lips.

She remembers him saying “I really do love you, princess.” Before she heard his heavy fit walk round the apartment. She didn’t know what he was doing until she heard a window opening, and the breeze from outside blowed onto her face.

She heard sirens, but she didn’t think it was for her.

But the last thing she heard was her hope.

“KASEY!”

And along with the darkness.

The silence welcomed her.

A/N: The next one be more of the aftermath, dreamland, everyone else, Kasey and Buck begins and a little bit of Kasey Begins.

Also I'm British so that's why some things aren't spelt in the American way, in case you was wondering for when I say things such as mum instead of mom. Writing mom is just strange to me as I'm not used to it.

I suggest getting ice cream and a therapist after this chapter :)

An Increased Risk of Illness For The Vaccinated

Pfizer’s data shows a significant increase in the risk of illness or adverse events for the vaccinated. You won’t actually find it in the report itself. You have to dig into the supplementary appendix in order to find it.

There you find, 5,241 related adverse advents in the vaccinated group versus 1,311 related adverse events in the placebo group. For severe adverse events (interferes significantly with normal function), there were 262 in the vaccinated group versus 150 in the placebo group. And, for serious adverse events (hospital or ER), there were 127 in the vaccinated group versus 116 in the placebo group.

In other words, there was a 300% increase of related adverse events, a 75% increase of severe adverse events, and a 10% increase of serious adverse events. How does the vaccine reduce hospitalizations if Pfizer’s trial data shows a 10% increase in hospitalizations for the vaccinated❓

[9:18 pm] You softly let out a grunt as drunk Jisung placed you in his lap just to kiss you. His touch was gentle but he was being too clingy on you.

His lips tasted like alcohol as this was his first time drinking ever since he became an adult. His right hand gripped on your waist while his other was on your shoulder.

His already swollen lips on your swollen ones. Both melting into the kiss as the night progressed. Jisung bit your lips, only to receive a soft sound from you.

"My baby is so cute," he whispered before he planted a kiss on your collarbone. Both of your cheeks were red and you were sweating due to the sudden hotness of the room.

That's when you realized that drunk Jisung is your enemy but also a side you want to see again.

Suddenly, you flinched when someone hit Jisung's head. You pulled back and a pout appeared on his red swollen lips.

"YOU ARE A CHILD!" Jaemin and Renjun shouted.

A/n: no, this was not intended to sexualize Jisung. This is simply just making out and I don't want to sexualize the kid

summary — it's normal to have servants serve you, especially if you are royalty. however, you didn't expect two butlers to be given to you, intead of maids. you learned how to trust them and deepen your connection with him... but it's gotten way too deep.

pairing — butler! jaemin x princess! reader x butler! jeno

genre — slight angst, fluff, personal butlers au, princess x butler au, strangers to friends, slight frineds with benefits, modern royalty, kind of slow-burn

others — mentions sex and threesome (no smut), stripping, a curse word, teasing, paparazzi, bold yet oblivious princess, suggestive moments; helping the other take a bath, make out, seeing the other naked etc..., love bites (hickeys)

word count — 13.6k

moodboard — butler! jaemin ,, butler! jeno

a/n — okay, so this is my longest ff and my first very suggestive one. I hope you guys like it ><

Multi-Chapter

🌧Rain is a Chance to be Touched // NOW COMPLETE - 16ch

When Spencer is shot in the knee and Hotch's whole family comes under attack, the depression that's been slowly creeping up on him over the last couple of months takes over, shrouding him in a dark cloud he can't escape.

Hotch finally realises what's going on, but before he can say anything Spencer leaves the BAU. He throws himself into the life of the younger man, desperate to make him happy again, but will their budding new relationship actually blossom? And is Spencer's relationship with the team broken forever?

🐳turns out that I need you now (much more than you need me)

🌪To Look on Tempests and Not Be Shaken

🫁love drunk, waiting on a miracle
