buck shifts carefully till he’s sitting up and reaches over to shake eddie awake. it’s childish and yet, “eddie, i don’t feel good.”

“i think...” but instead of mentioning his head comes: “i think my parents felt guilty. for not loving me. and instead of trying they just did the things that looked right because the whispers and gossip were worse. the stupid trust fund i couldn’t even touch till i was 25. ice cream every time i got hurt.” he lists it off, voice hollow. “it-it’s like they were trying to show everybody else i was wanted. and it just...” he shakes his head, shoulders hunched. “even that stopped too. as i got older. after all the lawyers and shit with my uncle... they just stopped. stopped trying. no matter what i did.”

Vanessa Oliviera did not have many friends, that much was true. She was driven and did whatever it took to do what was right, no matter the stakes. Mia had experienced that first hand. She knew that they weren’t the closest, and Vanessa’s disdain for her had been quite public for many years, but now? Things had only just been beginning to change, and now Mia wasn’t sure if this woman was going to make it to tomorrow.

“‘I know I’m the last person you probably want to see right now.” Eddie was not only Aspen’s friend, but Vanessa’s as well-- two people who were very much NOT her fans. Mia couldn’t imagine Eddie, by proxy, was much of one either.

“But I need to know-- is she going to make it? The last I saw she was--” The images of Vanessa were still fresh in her mind. Mia wasn’t sure they would ever stop haunting her.. and maybe they shouldn’t. Maybe Mia deserved this.

“Whatever it costs-- I’ll cover it. That doesn’t matter. Is she alright? Please. I need to know.”

HEAVY STATEMENT.  ONE THAT CAUSES A TIGHTNESS TO FORM IN BOBBY’S CHEST.  IF HE’S HONEST WITH HIMSELF, NASH FEELS THE   same   way.   even   when   he’d   kept   part   of   himself   secret.  𝘵𝘩𝘦   𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘴   𝘩𝘦   𝘤𝘢𝘳𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘥   𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩   𝘩𝘪𝘮.  this   job,   the   118,    they   are   bobby’s   family.   just   as   much   as   the   grant-nash   family.   so   after   a   moment   of   composure,   the   man   smiles.
