After shift Gabby called Casey over to here. By now, Severide and Mills new and they stood next to me, a few feet away from the couple, just incase.
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN 'TAKE A BREAK'?" Casey roared.
"Matt, I need some time to think and I'm sure you do too," Gabby replied. Casey was fuming, and his lower lip was trembling. I was actually frightened to see him this way.
"NO. YOU ARE NOT GOING ANYWHERE!" Casey yelled. I jumped and Severide pulled me into a side hug before he went over to calm Casey down.
"Just for all that, we're DONE! You CAN'T control me! I am my OWN person Matt! Things are just not the same anymore." Gabby was in tears and she turned to walk away, but Casey grabbed her wrist and Gabby yelped. Severide begged Casey to let her go and Casey listend and stormed out of the firehouse.
"Can I stay with you tonight?" Gabby asked me as she looked at me with her cheeks wet from tears. I used my sleeve to wipe her face.
"Of course. For as long as you want. Mi casa es su casa Gabriela (My house is your house)." Gabby smiled at me and pulled me into a hug.
"I'm impressed with your Spanish speaking skills Shay." She said during the hug.
"Gracias amiga. I try. So, do you want to go straight to my place or to a bar?" I ask.
"A bar so I can have a few drinks. After tonight I need some. We can order a pizza if you want. Let's get some of the guys to go with us." Gabby replies breaking the hug.
"Sounds fun. Severide, Otis, Hermann want to go for pizza and a few drinks?" I call out to the guys as they begin to leave. They turn and shout "Hell yes!"
Severide drove Gabby and I to a nearby bar and Mills, Hermann, Otis and Chief were going to meet us there. I'm surpised Chief asked if he could tag along. Mouch couldn't make it. He had a date planned already.
"So Gabby, are you and Casey really over?" Severide asked as we pulled into the parking lot.
"Yeah. Honestley I had enough. He's just not the same. Plus Chief said I'd have to transfer houses if I became a firefighter, because I can't work under Casey since we were involved." Gabby answered as she looked from Severide to me.
"Well that sucks tomatoes Gabby. You made a great choice I think," I reply. Part of me hoped she didn't do it because of what I told her earlier. I got out of the car and Gabby pulled me aside.
"Me leaving him was my choice. It's not your fault okay? So don't blame yourself." Gabby whispered. It's like she read my mind. Then again we are best friends.
"Okay. Let's go have fun." I replied and she smiled and followed me into the bar.
