Dawson's POV

I never thought that this news would make me feel so sick to my stomach I think to myself asI'm looking at the letter I received from headquaters. It is my placement for another firehouse as a candidate spot opened is what I want right to be a firefighter. I worked so hard for this,even let my relationship with Matt fall apart from it. This is suppose to be great news I should be wanting to celebrate,but that is far from the emotions I'm feeling right now. Suddenly I hear the bathroom door open, and I quickly get off the floor and flush the toilet.

"Dawson you in here?" Shay calls out. That's when I walk out of the stall hand her the paper and walk to the sink without saying a word. I splash some water on my face and turn to look Shay.

"You OK girl you look green?" She says concerned, as she starts to read the paper." This is great news,isn't?" Shay looks at me confused.

"It is right" I say in a questioning tone.

"I would say yes,but you look like you are gonna throw up." Shay says chuckling at the last part.

"I just did that". I say rubbing my face now.

" What's wrong Gabby talk to me?" Shay says placing her hand on my shoulder.

"I know this is what I wanted but now that it's happening it feels wrong to me." I say. Just then before I could say anymore to Shay the door opened and Casey walked in.

"Oh sorry ladies didn't mean to interrupt." He says looking at me now.

"No we were just leaving, Idon't want to hold you up." I say sharply and Shay follows me out the door.

"Why did you snap at Casey" Shay asks curiously."Are you upset about this transfer because of him?"

"No" I say slightly snotty."He wasn't supportive of my decision and that's why we ended things."

"Dawson whatever you have told me doesn't sound like him being unsupportive." Shay says kindly.

"Well he never said it but I know that he wasn't,now I don't want to talk about him." I say with the same harsh tone.

"Alright don't bite my head off, you don't have to be so moody lately." Shay says hurt now.

"Sorry I didn't mean it like that. Let's go finish cleaning the ambo we have an hour left of shift.I just want to go home and sleep when we can go."I say as I walk away from Shay so she can't say anymore to me.

Casey's POV

I walk out of the bathroom as I head back to my office. I can't understand why Gabby was so short with me a few minutes ago.I mean we don't talk much anymore but when we do it's normally on nice terms. I go sit at my desk to complete paperwork so I don't run late to meet Alice this morning. That's when I realize she must know about me going for coffee with Alice, and I'm going to kill Severide. I go looking thru the firehouse for him. Im glad when I find him alone in the common room.

"Hey severide,did you tell Gabby about Alice?" I say a little hostile.

" Wow hey man why are you jumping down my throat?" Severide says in the same tone as me.

"Just answer the question." I spit out.

"First of all don't come at me like this,and no I didn't tell anyone." He says calming down.

"Sorry I shouldn't have jumped at you like that." I say calming down as well.

"Yeah its fine." He answers"Let me ask you though why are you so worried about Dawson knowing?"

"I'm not,its just none of her buisness is all." I answer defensively.

"Is that it?" He says questioning.

" Yeah that's it" I say walking away." I have to finish some paper work."I'll see you at debriefing" I call over my shoulder as I walk out.

"Yeah ahha" He responded.

A little while later I finished my paperwork. 'So I go to get changed and make my way to the meeting room. I enter the room as Boden does from the other door,and I take a else has already taken their spots.

"Great shift everyone. Just a few announcements before you head home." Bowden speaks to everyone."First I would like to congratulate Hermann for he got a lieutenant spot over at station 18"

The room erupts into cheers,everyone on their feet clapping now.

"One more announcement" Chiefs voice rings out over the cheering." We also have Dawson heading over to station 18 as well for a candidate spot opened under Hermann on his truck."

Just then everyone errupts into cheer again but my heart sinks from this news. Gabby is leaving 51. I knew this day would come with her passing the physical and right now my heart sinks from the thought of her leaving this house,not the idea of her running into burning buildings.I look up at her now from across the room to give her a congaralitory smile,and just as I look up she picks her head up and makes eye contact with me. As I'm about to smile I notice this solemn look on her face. This is definantly not the look of someone happy with this news. Maybe she is unhappy that Hermann is her new lieutenant since he has a thing about women firefighters. But I know she has a great teacher and he will keep her safe. I get on my feet now to walk over to Gabby. I can hear the guys making plans to go to Molly's this evening but I'm not paying attention to them for I am walking over to Gabby now as she watches me move closer to her.

"Hey congrats on the news that is great" I say.

"It is right" She says in a questioning tone.

"Well its what you wanted right?" I say in the same questioning tone. But before I could say anything else she quickly excused herself. I stood there and watched her walk to the ladies room. I debated following her,for I really wanted to know what was wrong. Before I could make a decision Shay walked by me and went in that direction. Before she entered the bathroom where Gabby had gone, she turned and gave me a quick nod. That's when I knew it was no longer my place to worry. So I grab my bag now and I head out to my truck to go meet Alice for coffee.

Please leave a review let me know what you think.

I am enjoying writing this story so I will post another chapter later today or definantly tomorrow.
