Hi.
At first I thought about write a one-shot but, after seeing the last episode 309, which was awful, and one of my readers proposed to me, I decided to write a fic instead of a one-shot.
It is horrible what is happening between Matt and Gabby in the last couple of episodes. I hope that they can settle things down soon.
I hope that you like this new chapter. I will try to have the next one as soon as I can.
Thanks to: LLR5654, Justicerocks, Jscat2, Guest, chasidy warner and Camila.
Bye
Chapter 2
Today, Matt was spending his free night at home. He had just returned from fixing someone's balcony and he was really tired. Before leaving to the house in which he had to fix the balcony, Gabby proposed him that maybe he could go to Molly's to pick up her. However, he didn't want to go there; during their last shift, he had another problem with Dawson. This time it was her attitude what annoyed him.
During a structure fire, she moved away of Herrmann in order to try to find the victim. The problem was that she didn't follow Casey's order. It was true that Chief Boden said that Nobody's should be on anybody's help in that fire but, she was an exception. She was new on the job so, she must be glued to someone's hip, in her case it was Herrmann's hip. Even Herrmann said to her that she shouldn't have done that and, she said sorry. However, when Casey spoke with her in the briefing room her attitude was the opposite. She was making jokes and he got angry since she wasn't showing any respect to him and, it could cause problems to both of them.
He let on one side the book that he was reading and walked to fridge for taking a beer. After taking the beer, he eyes reached to see a new picture on the door of the fridge. I was a picture of Gabby and him; both of them were smiling and their eyes were shining. Everybody who sees that picture could guarantee that they were in love.
He took a deep breath and let the beer inside of the fridge thinking that perhaps she was right. Maybe, they should talk about things when they get tough. He checked his watch and saw that it was almost time to close out Molly's. He thought about giving her a surprise by showing there and maybe they could talk about their problems like she suggested that morning.

Gabby was lifting the chair up with Mills' help. They were working on silence. Everyone had come back home half an hour ago. She was disappointed that Matt didn't show up during the night, every time that someone opened the main door, she directed her vision to the person but, it wasn't Matt.
"I'm gonna have a beer" she said walking behind the bar "You want one?"
"Sure" he sat on one of the chair and she gave him one beer "So, how are you?" he asked concerned about her since he saw her crying on the shower stall.
"I don't know. Things between me and Casey are…its tough. It's it's tougher than I thought it would be" she said
"Yeah. I go it. It's a lot of pressure working together. I don't know how you guys do it" he said laughing
"That's the thing; it's not the work part that's tough. It's it's the… it's the home part. I honestly don't really know what to do" she said. She didn't know why she was telling him her problems but, after Shay's death she felt that there was no one with which speak about her problems like she did with Shay. And now, Mills was the most similar to Shay that she had.
Mills didn't say anything, he held her hand and she gave him a grateful smile. Suddenly, Gabby looked behind her and saw Matt standing up behind her looking to them shocked. His eyes were set in their holding hands and later in Gabby. She could see how hurt he was. He opened his mouth ready to say something but, no sound came from it. He looked away and turned around not wanting to see what will happen next.
"Ey Matt" she said moving to him "Matt" but he walked away of her "Matt!" she said when she saw him walking away of Molly's "Matt wait" she ran after him but, he was already inside of his truck starting the ignition "Matt!" she took her phone and called to his cell but he never respond.
"Gabby" she heard behind her. Peter was walking to her with her coat in one hand "Go home and speak with him. I will close and give you the key tomorrow"
"Thanks" she said and ran to her truck. She had to find Matt and explain him that nothing happened between her and Mills.

Matt was driving without know where to go. He was sure that he didn't want to come back home since it would be the first place in which she will try to find him. Maybe he could spend the night on his sister house or in the firehouse.
He didn't notice that he was crying until some drops fallen on the wheel. Why did she do something like that to him? Was she saying him "I love you" and later she ran to Mill's arm? Those kinds of question were around his mind while he was on his way to his sister's house.
When he arrived to the house, he cut the engine and got out of the car. It was late and he wasn't sure if his sister will allow him to spend the night in her couch but, he wanted to try.
"Matt?" Christie asked tired after opening the door
"Can I sleep here tonight, please?" he asked crying
"Matt" she cuddle him and he started to cry on her shoulder "What happened?" she never saw him before as weak as he was in that moment. She was sure that something bad happened.
"mom?" Violet asked from the starts
"Violet, come back to your room" She said not wanting that Violet see her lovely Uncle Matt is such state.
"What is wrong with Uncle Matt?" she asked worried
"Violet, go to your room. Now" Violet nodded and did what her mother said
"Matt, look at me. Matty" she said cupping his face "What happened?" Unexpectedly, her cell started to buzz she took it and saw it was Gabby who was calling her "It's Gabby. Do you want to talk with her?"
"No" he said immediately "Say her that I am not here"
"Why?" she asked shocked
"Just do it" he said angry
"Gabby" she said through the phone "Matt? No, he is not here" she said looking to her brother who was sat on the couch drying his tears "Alright, I will tell him if I see him. Good night" and she hung the call "She wants that you call her. She sounds a little desperate to find you. Are you going to call her when you calm?"
"I don't want to speak with her" he said
"Matty. What happened?"She asked rubbing his shoulder "Did you lost somebody in a fire?" It wasn't the first time that he showed in her house because of that. In his first year as candidate, he lost a small kid of Violet age in a fire and, he showed up in her house asking if he could spend the night in her couch. She let him and he spent the night watching and rubbing the back of his small niece.
"No. it is Gabby"
"Matt, Gabby is fine"
"She is having an affair with a guy" he said
"Are you sure? Maybe you have misunderstood something" then, he told her everything that happened between Gabby and he and what he saw when he went to Molly's "Do you see she kissing the other guy?" she asked when he finished
"no. He was holding her hand"
"Did you see any sign that there is something between them?" he shook his head "Matt. Hold a hand it's not a sign that they are together" she explained "Maybe you should call her and try to fix the misunderstanding. She loves you Matty" She was sure that there wasn't anything behind that gesture. She knew that Gabby loves her brother and she will never do to him something like what Hallie did to him on the past. She was better than Hallie, she was so loving about her brother. Christie liked her from the moment that she met her.
"Christie you are my sister thus, why are you on her side?" he asked getting up angry of the couch. He grabbed his coat and walked to the door
"Matt, where are you going? It's too late. You should spend here the night in the guest room"
"No. I will sleep on my truck" he said and shut the door behind him.
"Matt"
No where. He has no place where to spend the night, except his car. He sat on the driver seat and drive through the dark night of the city. When he arrived to a small parking of a park, he cut the engine and closed his eyes ready to fall asleep. Maybe in the morning, when the light of the new day lit the city, he will wake up on his bed with Gabby between his arms and, he find that it was a nightmare.
What do you think that is going to happen next? Please let me a review with your opinion.
