6 months later

To say the road to recovery had been easy would be a lie. Buck had relapsed three times, and the last time he had had to seek medical attention to be treated for his eating disorder, but that was 4 months ago, and so far he had been able to comply with the plan that the doctors had made for him. He was slowly starting to mend and had even returned to full time firefighting.

Life was doing great, he still had the intrusive thoughts sometimes, but he was managing better now, well to be honest he was actually managing now.

The relationship with the team was doing better too, and they didn't look at him with the same worry that they had done in the beginning. He was at Eddie's place more than half the week to visit Chris, but also to see and talk with Eddie. Overall everything was great and as it should be, and he was even starting to believe that there were actually people who cared.
