Outside
Stella's pov: as as I am waiting outside to see how everything comes out in there I see Tony and cappuccino come out and not nobody else and I'm starting to worry but I'm trying not to worry.
(Inside)
MC= hey still with me
K= yeah just get me out of here
MC= Cruz
CZ= all right good to go
MC= all right up on one,two stop stop it's no good if we keep lifting the chimney it's going to pushing the cribbing thought the floor.
CZ= well you better think of something fast because his room is going to flash over
(Back outside)
Stella's pov: everybody is outside waiting on casey,Cruz and Kelly to come out they are worried too but I feel like I'm the most worried because that's the man I really care about the man that I love that is in there in danger and no one will let me go in and help or see what's going on. I am thinking he came to work too soon since Benny died.
(Inside the house)
MC= Cruz you better go
CZ= but what about you
MC= hand me that hose i'll cover severide with my body and we'll make a stand right here
CZ= so you can both die to hell with that ( he looks over at something) get ready to pull him out
MC= Cruz just forget it go
CZ= no way get ready one,two now
(Outside the house).
S= the smoke is still turning bad and nobody has came out yet. I started to get very worried so I kinda start crying I normal don't cry but this is because I care so much about Kelly and I want to make sure he doesn't died
The house explodes
I am now fully on crying and I think everybody else faced is worried too bout about a few seconds later we see them all come out of the house I feel so relieved I run To Kelly and have him a big ass hug because I am so glad he is ok and he is not died.
S= you good you good
K= yeah yeah yeah
CB= you scared the hell out of us
K= I'm fine
CB= let the doctors make that call go with 61 get checked out
K= i'm OK all right (Brett brings him over to the ambo
Sb= all right hop on the back ( to Emily) Will you check it out.
Kelly's pov: once I got in the back of the M'Bow I let Emily check me out and stuff so I just stay quiet I really don't know what happened at my house at all I think I just blacked out but I'm not sure
At med
Dr. Manning checked me out and said I was good so she let me sit in the treatment room alone until I was ready to leave with ambo
Back at the firehouse
Stella's pov: has were driving back from the house I feel glad to Kelly's OK but I am mad because Casey didn't let me stay up there with him to make sure he was OK so we get back to the house I might ask him why. We get back I decided to follow him to where he was and maybe yell at him
S= Captain
MC= yeah
S= how do expect I do not appreciate being ordered to stand down during that fire
MC= I did what I thought was best for everybody involved
S= I am a damn good firefighter
MC= I know that
S= and I can handle myself in any situation including the one where severide is in danger
MC= no you can't kidd last time you went to help severide was during high rise fire you ignored you're low air alarm and almost died
S= that was different because I haven't checked my air closely enough it won't happen again but you Caint sidelined me boss
MC= I can and will do whatever I think is safest for all my fire fighters just be glad it worked out this time and severide is okay
(Back at the hospital)
Sb= all right I'm going to drop off the run sheet and then we can head out
EF= i'll check on severide see if he needs to hitch a ride back. Monique how's severide doing
NN= dr. Manning clear him a while ago he's in treatment three ready to go.
Emily walks to where Kelly is and ask him a question.
EF= Monique say you are good to go we can take you back to firehouse if you want
K= I don't know why I didn't move when she gave the evacuation order
EF= we all just figured you stayed because you saw the victim in there
K= no I didn't see him until after the chimney collapsed I didn't I move
EF= maybe you heard the victim call out
K= no I don't think so
EF= I can't tell you what happened in there but I can tell you from personal experience that losing a parent it messes with your head in ways you don't even realize come on Lieutenant let's get you to the firehouse
Back at the firehouse
Stella's pov: just waiting on Kelly to get back from med to make sure that he is OK as i am waiting I walk to my locker but then I hear Ritter and the dog running by and I say this is the solution to everything
CR= you don't be doing that here
S= oh my god
CR= my roommate usually takes care of her when I'm on shift but he just dropped her off here and said he got a new job not sure what I'm going to do
S= oh you're going to give her to me that is what you're going to do I'm going to quit firefighting and spend the worst of my life scratching these polkadot ears just blink if you want to come live with me
CR= sorry I'm kind of attached to her
S= oh well have you looked into a dog walker
CR= well the problem is she's got separation anxiety and gets distractive when she's alone
S=right right Right (she sees Kelly walking in the distance toward his office)
Well I see a long and meaningful future for us Tuesday call me I'll see you
(She runs to catches up to kelly)
S= there you are it looks like you are in one piece that's good
K= yeah docs at med gave me the thumbs up
S= it was that was a little scary back there and I'm really glad that you're OK
K= yeah 100%
S= it must've shaken you up a bit
K=not really no reason to dewell on it you know
S=Kelly come on you seem like a million miles away lately I'm just trying to help
K= and I'm just trying to get through the day I don't need everything turning into some big emotional crisis can you just give me some space
S= yeah of course
Once Kelly walks away for me I will Liza he just need space because he's going through a lot but he just needs to open up to me let me know what he feels I want to be there for him but he won't let me in. For now I'm going to just focus on work and thank God that I got Molly's to go to tonight after shift.
After shift late at night
Kelly's pov: I kind of hated that I yelled at Stella earlier she was trying to do was try to make sure I was OK and I just told her to go away. I really wanna open up to her but I don't know how but right now I'm gonna head to molly's and just think about it while drinking myself a beer. As I heard into Molly I see foster standing outside looking at her phone so I catch her attention.
K= hey
EF= according to this app my driver has loop the block three times
K= i'll wait with you
EF= no you don't have to do that
K= I know I've been thinking a lot about what you said at the hospital which parent?
EF= my mom lung cancer
K= I'm sorry
EF= it's like classic form she timed it for maximum destruction she got sick and died during my final year of resdiency toughest bitch in Pittsburgh I miss her every damn day
Stella's pov: I am at Molly's heading outside to put up the sign for karaoke to drive up business and get more customers inside when I look over and see Kelly talking to foster I'm kind of mad because when I try to talk to him he push me away but now he wants to talk to somebody else
K= you were close
EF= opposite of that
See them talking so I just get pissed off and walked back inside
K= which makes it worse somehow right
EF= yeah like there is nothing to hold on to
(Kelly see foster car pull up and helps her in the car)
EF= hey go have some fun that's an order
K= all right Night foster
Kelly's pov: maybe I will go inside and have more than one beer and enjoy myself and try to get myself back to normal self it's been a while
The next shift
General pov: it's the next shift and they only got one call to the whole shift and that call went to Ambo 61 and as Brett and foster head to the location they realize that this is a bar and It's football Sunday so it's going to be packed so they radio and to call for back up from truck 81. What's again find a bar they figure out who is the person that needs medical assistance as they're trying to take care of the patient a fight starts to break out luckily for them truck 81 shows up as Stella tries to hold a guy back a guy hits her in the jar with his elbow. Once they take care of the scene truck 81 goes back to the firehouse.
Back at the firehouse
Stella grab some ice for her face as Brett walks into the kitchen
SB= let me see that you oh you really got clocked
S= people are complete idiots you ever notice that
SB= well by some miracle dark guy is OK I bandaged him up and sent him home you got pretty snappy there with foster
S= it was complete chaos I was just trying to establish some order
SB= can I say something without you interrupting and getting defensive
S= what is that supposed to mean fine go
SB= you have been running yourself ragged worrying about severide you're not sleeping yelling at your captain
S= I knew I shouldn't have told you that
SB= acting thrilled about foster connection with severide One and trying to bite her head off the next all I'm saying is when somebody you love goes through a Trumatic event it's a lot to handle you need to take care of yourself to not just severide
S= you know I really thought all I needed was a new pillow and maybe Tuesday the perfect dog ( she hugs Brett but that forgets about her bruise jaw)
SB= sorry
S= it's ok
The end of shift
Kelly's pov: i've been thinking I like how Emily talks to me about losing a parent it's nice having someone knowing what I'm going through so I might ask her if she wants to go hang out later and I can feel better about myself if I talk to her so I go look for and she's in the locker room.
K= hey
EF= hey Lieutenant I'll see you next time
K= hey foster it's been good having someone to talk to
EF= it's always is
K= by any chance are you free later maybe you want to grab a beer somewhere
EF= when my mom died I didn't have anyone to lean on the resident I work with they weren't my friend you're more like competitors you're lucky you have a great support system and a girlfriend who loves you lean on her.
Once she walk away I realize I do have a great support system here at the firehouse and I have the best girlfriend so I might text her later when I get home for now I'm just going to go home and try to relax and not think about much
