Dawson walked through the firehouse, her head hanging low as the overwhelming feeling of frustration spread throughout her entire body.
"Hey, Dawson," Brett jogged up behind her, grabbing her shoulder to stop her, "what's going on?" The concern in her voice projected more than she had meant for it to.
Dawson couldn't mutter a single word, she just shook her head, pitying herself for the way she had handled the most recent call.
"Look, you can't save them all! Everyone makes mistakes." Brett tried to sound more convincing than she felt.
"I have to go," Dawson brushed her off and headed for the showers.
Brett watched as she left, feeling remorseful for not saying more, for not even knowing what to say to make Dawson feel the slightest bit better.
Dawson stripped out of her uniform, tossing everything into a pile on the bench. Reaching in to the shower stall, she turned the knob to scalding and stepped in, flinching at the heat, but letting it run against her body anyway.
"What the hell happened? Why couldn't I have saved her?" she questioned over and over, "What could I have done to save the poor little girl from dying? A baby for fuck's sake!" Dawson slammed her hands against the wall of the stall, sinking down. Tears began to stream down her face, but were whisked away by the stream of the shower. She sat against the ground and put her head between her knees, "Do I even belong here anymore?"
After what felt like only minutes, Dawson heard a light tapping just outside the curtain.
"Dawson, you in there?"
It was Casey. "Go away!" her thoughts screamed, "I can't deal with you right now!"
Instead, a muttered whisper fell from her lips, "Yes, it's me."
"We need to talk, Dawson."
The dreaded words she was avoiding had just pierced the silence surrounding her fragile being. It was time. Time to face the reality of all that had gone wrong only hours ago.
