Chapter 3

The following morning, Matt woke up and found out that he was still inside of his truck and not in his bed as he wished to wake up last night. It wasn't a nightmare, it was real and moreover, he had to face to the nightmare today when he goes to firehouse because he was on shift. He thought about calling to the firehouse and said that he was sick but, it would get that everyone will suspect that there is something wrong with him because he never called in sick before.

He started the ignition and drove to the firehouse. In his mind the image of Mills holding Gabby's hand was repeated again and again. His mind was even playing dirty tricks to him with different images of Gabby and Mills getting laid in the bed that she and he share, doing what he used to do to her. He didn't know how will face them today. He felt ashamed that he cheated her. How will he face his men when they know what Gabby did to him? He will lose the respect of everyone in the firehouse.

He arrived to the firehouse and parked his car, he was glad that nobody arrived yet thus, he couldn't have to explain why he was arriving without his duffel bag like he always does.

He went straight to his locker for taking the extra uniform that he always has. After changing his clothes for his uniform, he went to kitchen and started to make a cup of coffee to himself. While the coffee was getting ready he went to the fridge for grabbing an apple, however, he changed his mind. He was hungry however; there was something in his stomach that doesn't let him to eat. So, he grabbed his cup of coffee and walked to his office not wanting to greet anyone. He wanted to be alone before the news that Gabby was cheating him with Mills was spread around the firehouse. He wanted to conserve at least for a little bit longer his dignity.

Gabby spent most of the night trying to find Matt but, he wasn't in nowhere. Finally, after three hours of search, she came back home and waited that he returns when he felt ready for talking about what he saw. Maybe he just needed to calm down. However, he never showed up.

Feeling awful and tired of being all the night up, she drove to the firehouse with the hope that he was there for their shift. She smiled when she saw his car parked on the front of the firehouse. She parked her near of his car and ran to the inside of the firehouse.

From the bunk area, she could see that he was sat on his desk looking to something; she let her bag on her bunk and walked to his office. She knocked the door and opened it without wait that Matt allowed her to come in; Matt never stopped of looking at the paper he had in his hands.

"Matt" Gabby said walking to him. She tried to place her hands on his shoulder but, he refused her touch.

"What do you want Candidate?" Matt said still not looking to her.

By the tone of his voice, she was sure that he was upset and angry so, she sat on his bed "I want to speak about what happened last night. Look..."

"I don't want" he cut her looking to her by the first time. She could saw that he was as bad as she was. He had dark circles around his eyes and his hair was pointing to everywhere a sign that he ran his fingers around it, something that I only do when he is stressed or angry with something "There is something more that you want to say me? If not, go to the kitchen to cook breakfast"

"Matt"

"I am not Matt. I am Lieutenant Casey. You should speak with more respect Dawson; you are a candidate on this firehouse. Understood?" he said firmly

"Yes sir" she got up of his bed. She wanted to cry too badly but, she wasn't going to do it in front of him. She could understand that he was angry because of what he saw but, he wasn't letting her to explain what in reality happened between her and Mills. Maybe he needed more time to calm down and sit with her to speak about it.

"Dawson?" She looked him and he said "Showers need a good clean"

"Yes sir" and she walked out of his office.

While she was walking to the kitchen, she saw Peter Mills walking on the opposite way to the lockers

"Dawson, is everything alright?" He asked concerned

"No. He hates me" She said pointing with her head to Matt's office

"No. Did you explain him that nothing happened between you and me?"

"I tried but, he doesn't want to hear me"

Immediately, she collapsed crying in his arms. He started to rub her back in order to calm her. He looked to Matt's office and saw that the Truck Lieutenant was looking to them before closed the blinds.

"Dawson" Chief Boden said behind them "Do you have a sec?" she moved away of Mills, dried her tears, nodded and walked behind her chief to his office.

"What do you want chief?"

"Lieutenant Casey gave me this application this morning" he said giving her a pink transfer sheet. She took it and saw it completely shocked. He was putting her into a transfer to other firehouse "What is wrong between you and Casey? I thought that everything was alright between the two of you and now, I found this on my desk"

"Last night, we have a misunderstood. He is thinking that I am cheating him with Peter Mills what is not true. I tried to speak with him but, he refused to listen to me"

"Well that explains why he wants to be transferred to other house" he said serious

"What? He wants to go to other firehouse?" she looked down to the paper and saw Matt name on the application instead of her as she thought. He was moving to other firehouse. "Chief Please don't let him do it"

"I don't know what is going on between two you" he took the paper of her shaking hands "But I can say you that this paper can be lost for a few days on my desk which mean that for approximately the next 3 shift he have to be on 51. After that, I am sorry to say that he will move to other house. I can't have a Lieutenant who has problems with my PIC and the candidate as well as, I can't I have a candidate who is crying. Settle your problems down Dawson soon. Gabriela, he is a good man"

"I know. Thanks chief" she said glad that he was helping them.

Boden looked her walking away. He didn't want to lost Matt, he was a great Lieutenant however, he had to think about the rest of his men. He couldn't have a Lieutenant not focus on his job because his mind is in other place.

After seeing how Mills was comforting Gabby, Matt sat on his bed crying, he didn't want to be on shift looking how Dawson and Mills were canoodling around the firehouse or he was hugging her every time he could. How he couldn't notice it before? When they started their relationship, she told him that she had a crush with Mills but, she was over. Well apparently, she wasn't as over as she thought that she was.

Feeling a little bit dizzy, he lied down on his bed and rested his head on his pillow after a few seconds, he fell asleep. Ten minutes later, the door of his office was opened and Dawson entered with his breakfast. She had cooked his favorite, fruit pancakes. She saw him sleeping on the bed so; she let the plate on his desk, took off his boots and tucked him with a blanket.

"I don't know why you don't want to hear me, Matt" she said kneeling near to him "Nothing happened between Mills and me last night. I just needed a friend. Someone how listen to me like Shay did. I love you Matt. You are the only man of my life" she gave him a kiss on his forehead.

During most of the shift, Casey tried to ignore everyone, only Severide and Herrmann dared to go to the Lieutenant office to ask him if everything was alright. However, Casey refused their questions with a simple smile.

At lunch, Dawson cooked his favorite dish, Baked Chicken but, he refused to leave his office not wanting to face her and the rest of the guys. So, like she did in the breakfast, she brought to his office a plate.

"You can take the plates. I am not hungry" She looked to his bed and saw that he didn't touch his breakfast.

"Matt" and he gave an angry look remembering her that she should refer to him as Lieutenant "sorry Lieutenant. I think that you should eat something, sir"

"Since when do you give me orders, Candidate?"

"I worry about you"

"Well it is a good thing for you that I move to other firehouse so, you can't stop of worry about me"

"Seriously Matt?" He gave her again an angry look but she did mind "We have to speak about what happened last night. I swear that nothing happened between Peter and me"

"I don't want to hear it! I don't want to hear how he fucked you and how many times! You are a whore"

Feeling hurt by her words, she slapped him on his face.

"Never dare to call me that again" She said and shut the door of his office

He looked her walking away, he put his hand against the cheek in which she slapped some seconds ago; his skin in that area was warm. He didn't know why he said that to her, she was right, they should speak about what happened but, he was so scared of finding later that it was a lie like Hallie did to him some years ago when he saw her kissing another guy. After that, he promised to himself that he would never trust in any other women who could break her heart. Of course that he trust on Gabby but, after what he saw last night, he didn't want to risk that other woman could break his heart. He was scared of the true.

What do you think? Please let me a review with your opinion
