Author's Note (WARNING - This will be a very long note, if you're anyone who reads my story quite frequently (when it's updated) then you might want to check out the starred sections, but if you're not interested then please scroll on down to where the story begins. And, for those wondering why I didn't just give this its own chapter like I've done in the past, I didn't want to excite any of my fans with the possibility of a new chapter when it's been so long. Thanks!):
Hi, everyone! I hope you're all doing well. I am so so so sorry that it has taken me exactly one month to update. You all have no idea how crazy January has been for me, but I'm back and hopefully, February will be a better month for me and all of my family.
*Now, announcement time! - I know I said I would spend the month of January doing part two's for some of my Songs & Fire chapters, but I have decided that Songs & FIre will only be one hundred chapters. Before anyone gets upset, lol, I am going to create a new story "Songs & Fire -2." That is where I will add my part twos and also add any new songs/chapters. I just thought that a hundred chapters would probably be enough for you all and me to navigate through.
*As for Song Suggestions, I currently have seventeen songs that I am going to knock out before I end this story and start the other same-ish story. That being said, you all may want to wait and send them once I get the new story up, just because I don't want to miss or leave anyone's out.
*Also, Brett and Casey: Love and Life will be updated once I get back into contact with my co-writer and we get a plan. Thanks to everyone for your continued support on that story.
*Make sure you check out my Forum and Community for Brett and Casey. I am going to post my thoughts on new episodes in my forum every week. The community I created is full of Brett and Casey stories, so make sure you check that out. I try to keep it updated every week.
Now that I got through that, lol thanks to anyone who is still with me, I'm thinking of creating something called Cover Contests on Wattpad. I would love to hear your alls feedback on it, if you're interested, just send me a PM on Wattpad or here, and I will give you more information.
I'm almost done, lol, I just wanted to say a quick thanks to everyone who has sent me encouraging messages or reviews wondering about my stories this month. I really appreciate them!
*There will be questions posted at the end of this for you all. Feel free to answer them, I feel like I haven't heard from some of you all in so long, lol.
Thanks again for everyone's support! Enjoy!
Song: Anything Could Happen by Ellie Goulding
Stripped to the waist
We fall into the river
Cover your eyes
So you don't know the secret
I've been trying to hide
We held our breath
To see our names are written
On the wreck of '86
That was the year
I knew the panic was over
Brett scowled at Casey's back as he hopped out of the firetruck and made his way into the firehouse. This week had been awful. Everyone had been on edge and short with each other.
"Hey, what was that about?" Asked Foster as she jumped out of the driver's side of the ambulance and made her way over to where Brett was standing.
Brett looked up at her friend and shrugged her shoulders, "I have no idea, he's been moody all week."
Foster nodded, "Yeah, but he didn't have to snap at you like that. I mean he's been doing it all week and you haven't said anything to him"
"Maybe he's dealing with something that none of us know about."
Foster shook her head and smiled at her partner, "How do you always see the good in people like that."
Brett laughed as she got her jacket out of the passenger seat and closed the door, "It's one of my many skills."
Both girls giggled and made their way into the firehouse where Ritter was preparing his famous mini apple pies.
Yes since we found out
Since we found out
That anything could happen
Anything could happen
Anything could happen
Anything could happen
Anything could happen
Anything could happen
Anything could
After the war we said we'd fight together
I guess we thought that's just what humans do
Letting darkness grow
As if we need it's palette and we need it's color
But now I've seen it through
And now I know the truth
Casey walked into his office and slammed the door.
'Why does she always have to get into my head like that?' Thought Casey as he sat at his desk and pushed aside his mountain of paperwork that Boden was waiting for.
"Hey, man you okay?" Asked Severide as he made his way into Casey's office.
Casey looked up and nodded at his friend, "I'm fine."
"You sure? You've been kinda short with everyone this week." Commented Severide as he skeptically looked at Casey who picked up his phone and threw it down on his desk.
"Gabby's here." Whispered Casey.
Severide whipped his head around and stared at Casey, "What do you mean Gabby's here?"
"She's been here for about a week now."
"Is that why you've been acting so weird all week?"
Casey slowly nodded, "Yeah, I've been going to visit her at her hotel all week."
"Why didn't you tell any of us she was back?"
"I don't know...we just finalized our divorce this week."
Severide looked at his friend and felt bad for him, "I'm sorry, man. That's hard."
"Yeah," Whispered Casey.
"What does Brett have to do with this?" Asked Severide.
Casey looked at Severide like he had three heads, "What are you talking about?"
"Well, you've been very hard on Brett this week. It seems like every time we all go out on a call together you snap at her."
Casey sat there for a minute before he responded, "I ugh told Gabby that I think I'm starting to feel something for Brett."
"I'm guessing she didn't take it so well."
"Nope," said Casey as he looked up at his friend and shook his head.
"Well, what now?" Questioned Severide.
"I don't know…"
- ALL RESPOND - VEHICLE COLLISION ON THIRTY-FOURTH MAIN - ALL RESPOND -
Baby, I'll give you everything you need
I'll give you everything you need, oh
I'll give you everything you need
But I don't think I need you
"Herrmann, start hosing that second car down." Barked Casey as he and the rest of his crew got out of the firetruck and ran to the SUV with six people in it.
Casey assessed the SVU with his team before he radioed over to Brett, who was working on the woman who jumped out of her car before it went up in flames, "Brett, get over and look at this man trapped right now."
"Casey, I need to help Foster stabilize this woman I think we're gonna have to perform…"
Casey interrupted Brett over the radio, "Get over here now, Brett."
The call lasted about forty-five minutes before they had everything cleaned up and everyone transported to med. Foster could tell that Brett was fuming the whole time they were out.
"Hey, you okay? You look like you're ready to punch someone in the face."
Brett just nodded before she parked the ambulance into its spot, jumped out of her seat, and went in search of Casey.
"Casey, we need to talk." Called out Brett as she walked into his office and slammed the door.
Casey looked up and sighed before he pushed his chair back and stood up from his seat.
"Brett…"
"No, it's my turn to talk." Yelled Brett before she continued, "You have been so rude to me this week every time we go out on calls and I have no clue what I did to you."
"Brett…"
"No, I've given you chance after chance and you've still acted like a jerk to me all week."
Casey didn't even try to say her name this time he just walked over and pulled Brett into his arms before he dipped her and gave her the roughest, sexiest kiss she had ever received.
It seemed like an hour later before they broke apart. Right as Brett was going to say something the alarm went off calling them all out to a house fire.
"Hey, you good?" Asked Foster as Brett jumped into the passenger side of the ambulance.
Brett smiled before she responded, "Yeah, I'm good."
