When she got in the ambulance, Shay asked about her night with Casey. "Believe me: you don't want to know" she said buckling her seat beat. She knew she couldn't avoid this question coming from Shay, after all Shay was her best friend and confident.

"Was it that bad?" Shay said looking at her. Shay always said that Casey and Gabby were meant to be.

"It was… a nightmare" she laughed as she thought about the embarrassing situation. A kiss on the cheek was all she got. Oh God, what she thought? Casey would kiss her on the lips and say I love you? She was asking for too much.

"Give me something, please" Shay insisted.

"He gave me a kiss on the cheek" Gabby wasn't looking at Shay.

"No way" Shay exclaimed.

"Yep… It seems we were wrong about his feelings for me, I mean I was wrong", she sighed.

"And you was so hot in that dress. Do you think he is gay?"

"Shay, common, not helping" Gabby said holding a laugh.

"Okay, okay. I was trying to cheer you up. I'm sorry…" Shay felt bad for Gabby.

"No, it´s okay, you know, I had to know if he felt something for me. So I gave a shot and now I have to deal with it. I'll get better" Gabby gave her a half smile.

"I know you will and I'm here to support you any decision you make" finally, they arrived at the scene.

"Thanks. You first mission: drinking with me tomorrow at my house. What do you say?" They were on the back of ambulance catching their stuff.

"I say, yes, girl. We really need a girl's night" they smiled to each other and then entered the building. Gabby and Shay returned to firehouse one hour later. Gabby brought a book to the job, but let it in her locker, so she decided to get it, Shay joined her. When they were getting close to locker room, they heard someone saying Gabby's name.

"But man, you know Gabby always had a thing for you" Severide said. Gabby and Shay gave a step back and kept quiet. Gabby turned to get out of there, but Shay grabbed her arm.

"Shay, please, let's go" Gabby whispered begging, but Shay didn't let her go.

"I didn't know… until she said it to me. I mean she said she loved me" when Gabby heard that she was in shock, she never said that to him.

"What? Loved you?" Severide asked confused.

"Two years ago, Hallie and I had another fight and like always Gabby was there for me. I knew she had had a bad call before we finished our shift. I called her that night and we decided to go out and have some drinks. We drank a little bit, her more than me. We took a cab to home, in the way to her home, her head was on my shoulder, I think she was asleep, but from nowhere she said with these words: Casey, I love you.

"Like a friend, no?" Severide asked.

"Wait… she continued: I always loved you, I think it was love at first sight, then she stopped" Casey never forget her words. It was true about they going out, they did that many times, but she didn't remember saying those words. She inclined her head on the wall and sighed. She made a fool of herself no one time, but twice. She thought that she was good hiding her feelings all this time. Shay put her hand on Gabby's back, trying to comfort her.

"I called her the next day, and she acted like that nothing had happened. I waited the next shift and again she was normal, just complaining about the hang over. She didn't remember anything."

"But you said? Gabby, you said that you loved me…"

"Of course not, I couldn't say that, she could just deny" Casey crossed his arms.

"Casey, you got my nerves. You had to… Wait… You didn't feel anything for her that time, because for me you had that look, you know..."

"Look, since that moment she arrived at our firehouse I got her stuck in my head. However, I was with Hallie, who is completely different of Gabby. Gabby is so stubborn, sassy, passionate. She has so many qualities… When she confessed her feelings I was a coward for not telling her what she meant for me, I know… And one day later Hallie and I back together" he sighed. Gabby couldn't stay there anymore. He knew for a long time about her love for him, and he chose Hallie. She decided to hide herself in the back of ambulance and cry. Shay followed her.

"What are you going to do now?"

"I need to fix what I did at the party. She is pushing me away. But I won't let her run away. I won't…"

"I wish you luck because no woman likes to be rejected, cause that was basically what happened," Severide said.

"Oh, that was terrible. I know Gabby, she is upset right now and it kills me."

"Give her time, man" Severide said trying to cheer him up. "Before you know you two will be together, believe in me."

"I hope so… She is my friend and I miss her…" the bell rang and they ran to attend a call.

One week later…

Casey was satisfied after he had opportunity to talk in Nancy's parole. In few days, he would know that if she was out or not of the prison. His sister said nothing against their mother; Casey wasn't expecting that, he was happy with her attitude and thanked her. About Gabby, he wasn't so lucky. He noticed that she was getting close to Mills, joined him a few time in the firehouse's kitchen. He heard from Otis that Mills and her were going out together outside of firehouse. She never did that before: now they were best friends? He decided to confront her. After the lunch, he found her in the back of ambulance. When he got close he heard some laughs, Shay was with her. "Hey, girls?"

"Hey, Casey. Can I help you?" Shay asked. Dawson was filling a report and didn't looked at him.

"Yes. Could you give me one minute with Dawson?" Before Shay could say anything.

"Shay, you don't need to leave. Anything you want to say, Shay can hear" Shay wasn't expecting that.

"Are you sure?" Casey said kind of angry.

"Gabby, I have to go to the bathroom really" Shay said trying to get out of there.

"Okay, go" and Shay quickly disappeared.

"What are you doing?" Casey asked.

"What are you talking about?" she said putting the report aside.

"You and Mills became best friends now?"

"Why? I can't be his friend and he mine?" she said quiet angry.

"Of course you can, but you are trying to be his friend for the wrong reason." She laughed.

"Really? Do you think? So tell me I would do that?" she challenged him.

"To push me away… To forget us... You're using him, Gabby."

"I'm not… I'm not doing… that" she gasped. She was just trying to move on. No one can't blame her for that. "Casey, you have no right…" he cut off her.

"I do, Gabby. You are important to me, you are the first thing I think when I wake up and I last one before I sleep…" he said genuinely.

"You can't ask me to believe in you, Casey" she said getting out of the ambo.

"Why not?" What now I did to make her upset? She should tell him what she heard in the locker room? Is it worth?

"Do you know… I won't waste my time… Just let me alone, please" she went away.

"Gabby…" He wasn't prepared for her reaction, he wouldn't give up, not yet, never.
