Chapter 1

Gabby stared at Tommy Welch as he just told her that Matt was sleeping with Beth the ex of Pat Prigden who was temporary their firehouse chief.

"Wow all she could say.."Welch smirked at her as he walked off , tears filled her eyes, she and Matt just took a break and he already found someone to take to his bed. She quickly wiped the tears away, as she heard a noise from outside and she looked up.

There was Matt staring at her, stunned because he pretty much knew what Welch just told her. She wiped the tears again and ran into the firehouse.

Outside:

Matt: God damn Welch( he muttered to himself)

Kelly: What did you say?

Matt: He just fucking told Gabby that I slept with Beth. Sleeping with her was a huge mistake and if Prigden finds out ...

Kelly: That man has been asking for a beating since he screwed Dawson out at his firehouse he has it coming man. But aren't you guys broken up? What should it matter?

Matt: I guess but I saw the deep hurt in her eyes.

Severide just shook his head as they walked into the station.

Gabby walked into Chief Boldens office, Pridgen was sitting at his desk, when he saw her come in he looked up and frowned.

Gabby: Pridgen , I'm requesting the rest of the shift off is possible and asking for a few days off as well.

Pridgen: Well there is only 1 hour left and it should be fine and let me see if I can find a replacement for you, should be no problem but I'll call you if I can't .

Gabby: Alright thank you, and I need to use personal or emergency time pronto.

Pridgen: Okay.

Gabby: Thanks Pridgen

Gabby quickly walked to her locker and grabbed her stuff, as she was heading out she walked right into Matt.

Matt: Gabby...

Gabby: Just don't . (Tears had come to her eyes)

Gabby then ran out of the house as Matt looked on...

Welch came up behind Matt and whispered in his ear...

Tommy: She fucking hates you...( He chuckles as he walks away.

Matt then slammed his fist into a locker so frustrated about everything but now he hurt the only woman he ever truly loved...

Gabby arrived at her apartment , she had stopped at Molly's and took as much hard liquor she could, she was going to try to forget her life.

Honestly she should be dead. Shay should be alive and Gabriela Dawson should be dead. If she and Shay hadn't switched spots at the last moment.

Tears sprang out of her eyes as she grabbed the box and ran into her place, she now lived alone again so she would not need to worry about what someone else thought of her.

As soon as she walked through the door and set the box down she started tearing up the apartment, smashing photos and dishes and screaming and crying at the same time.

She grabbed some whiskey and started drinking straight from the bottle as she stared at the photo in her hand.

It was a rare photo of her, Matt and Kelly and Leslie and then the tears started to fall again.

Oh God Shay , my life is fucked up. I should be dead you should be alive and not only that I lost the love of my life said Gabby out loud to no one.

And if Kelly and the house knew that me and you had switched places they all would hate me...she whispered.

Gabby punched the wall several times until her hands were badly bruised, she didn't care about anything anymore, I mean how could she, she lost everyone that she loved dearly.

Gabby grabbed a bottle of vodka and laid on the sofa with the whiskey and vodka by her side..
