Gabby couldn't stop thinking about Matt. She laid in bed the night after she went for a girls night out. She hadn't got any sleep, and she had to go into work tomorrow, and face Peter and his new girlfriend again. That's not something she was ready for, even though she had hooked up with Matt, she hadn't moved on. It was going to be really hard to move on, since she didn't even know Matt's last name. Her alarm clock starting beeping beside her. "There's no way it's already time to get up." she said to herself. She got out of bed and walked over to her dresser, staring at the ring she had taken off her finger 2 nights ago, even though she didn't want to. "Should I put it back on?" She asked herself. She decided to, even though she had fun with Matt, she still loved Peter with all her heart, even if he didn't love her back.

She walked into the kitchen after getting ready to find Brooke cooking breakfast. At least if the day at work did go bad, Brooke would be there, the perks of having your bff as your partner on ambo. Brooke handed her a plate of bacon, eggs, and sausage.

"So, I hear the new guys starting today are HOT!" Brooke said.

"Oh, just what you need an in house romance." Gabby said.

"No, just what you need." Brooke replied.

"I'm not going through that again." Gabby stated.

"Gab's you need to let loose, have some fun more often." Brooke looked at Gabby's hand as she was playing with her fork, avoiding eating. "Really Gabby?" She said as she noticed the ring back on her finger.

"I still love him B, even if he don't love me. I can't help it. It kills me walking into the firehouse and seeing him and his new girlfriend. I just keep thinking if the rings still on my finger that maybe it's not over. I don't have to admit to myself that it's over if the ring is on my finger. I know I should be getting over him, but I'm not. My heart don't heal as fast as Peter's." Gabby told Brooke

"Hey, it's okay that you're not over him yet. I don't expect you to be. You were with Peter for 2 and ½ years, you're not supposed to get over it just like that. You're supposed to grieve, Gabby. But Peter's not planning on coming back, and as much as I hate to say it, you need to take your ring off, show him that you're okay without him." Brooke said

"I know, I know. Just maybe some other time. When I'm ready, I'm not ready. Besides he knows I'm still wearing the ring and hasn't said anything, maybe he wants me to keep it on." Gabby replied.

"Let's go, we're gonna be late." Brooke told Gabby, knowing she didn't have time for this fight right now.

They pulled into the firehouse and went straight to the locker room to get ready for shift. Everybody was waiting on the floor for the new lieutenant and squad member. Of course, Peter was with his new girl, maybe this new lieutenant would say something about her hanging around all the time, considering the chief didn't care who hang around as long as they didn't get in the way of calls. Everybody had gotten there an hour early today, so everyone could meet the new members of the firehouse at the sametime.

"Here they come" One of the members of truck, Nate (Peter's best friend), said.

"Hi everybody, I'm Matthew Casey, the new lieutenant." One of them announced themselves as.

"Oh my gosh" Gabby said, much louder than she thought.

"What Gabby?" Nate asked

Matt just looked up to see who said that and why, when he saw her. The girl he hadn't stop thinking about since boy's night out.

"Nothing, I just, I uh" Gabby looked at Peter, you could tell he was wondering what was going on here. "Know Matt from somewhere."

"Oh." Nate said, "From where?" He said prying, something he was really good at.

Gabby looked at Matt for help, she didn't want to stay he was a one night stand, but she didn't wanna say they were just friends.

"We just recently started dating. We just didn't know we were going to be working in the same firehouse, it never came up." Matt said before Gabby answered.

Gabby looked over to see if Peter was as hurt as she was when she found out. He was. And he didn't look like he was going to keep it in. As a matter of fact, he didn't.

"WHAT THE HELL?" Peter exclaimed "First did you not see the ring on her finger was that not some tip that she wasn't available? Did you not stop to think that for one second?"

Matt looked down at Gabby's hand to see a ring on her left finger. 'Shit' he thought, he had never noticed it before.

"Okay first off, let's get the story straight, Matt and I had a one night stand, we haven't been dating, I took the ring off for a night. And second I'm pretty sure you've already moved on, you moved on about a week after we broke up, from a 2 and ½ year relationship, so if anyone has the right to be mad it's me. AND HERE LET'S TAKE CARE OF THE RING ON MY FINGER! She can have it." Gabby said as threw the ring at Peter and walked off.

"I'll get her" Brooke said.

"Yea, you do that. And you being her best friend and all may wanna give her a reality check on what a bitch she's being." Peter told Brooke.

"Yea, maybe you need one too." Brooke said walking off.

"Hey, are you okay?" Brooke asked Gabby as she walked into the bathroom.

"Yea, I'm good, finally getting over it!" Gabby said

"Gabs I'm serious, are you okay." Brooke asked again.

"I'll get there." Gabby said

"Well if it helps you were a total badass. I liked the whole "she can have it" line you threw in there." Brooke laughed trying to lighten the mood.

"Really? Thanks, that was my goal." Gabby laughed back. "Well, let's get back to work pretend this never happened?"

"Yea, let's do that ." Brooke said.
