You Light Up My Life (E. Buckley)

Sunshine

Tw: suicide

Shayla's Pov

After a while of working in the 118, I felt a bit safer around Buck, but I still couldn't figure out why he avoided me unless we were on the Job.

Captain Bobby said I was doing really good when things got difficult between crazy things and small fires. But when there was ever a child or someone whose innocence or trauma needed to be protected, the whole team knew I was just who they needed.

Flashback

"Okay honey your doing great, just keep looking at the ducks a little longer." I said to the little girl I was holding.

She had just been in the car with her dad in a carcrash nearby a park. Thankfully the girl was okay, but as everyone was taking care of the dad, I came in clutch to successfully get the daughter away and keep her focused on happy things.

"Ducks are so silly " she giggled, "I know baby"

I turned my head back to see everyone signaling me to bring the girl back, thankfully her dad was okay and was in the ambulance.

"Okay sweetie ready to go back?" She nodded.

End of flashback

Damn I was lucky that day.. I can't imagine the day I can't save someone or their feelings.

As I got to work I saw Hen and Buck playing their little ambulance game thing, Buck looked pretty happy so I thought of it as an opportunity to try talking to him.

"Hey guys!" I jumped, I knew exactly whose voice it was

"Hey Shayla" Hen greeted her, "Hi" I said taking a quick glance at her and then back down. "Whatchu guys doing?" She asked

"Nothing" I tried to say, but Hen had to open her mouth "Watchdogs" she said over me, this left Shayla looking confused with an awkward smile, she's so pretty..

No you can't think of her like that Buck!!

"Buck, why don't you show her how to play?" Hen says getting up and handing Shayla the controller. I gulp, "why me?"

"I gotta go help Bobby with something.." Before I could ask her what she left. Shayla sat next to me, "So how do you play?"

"Uh.." I said before looking down. "You uh.." dammit what do I do?? Say something Buck!!

Shayla sighed, "Hey its okay," she said "we don't have to be friends if you don't want to." She handed me the controller and got up with a sad look on her face. I look at her, I feel nervous and I don't want her to go.

"Shayla wait," I got up to follow her "dont go!"

Then the alarm went off, we can only hope for the best after this..

Shayla's Pov

We got to the scene and it was a lady, possibly in her 30's sitting at the edge of a building, the person who called 911 told us her name was Rebecca, Rebecca Caulfield. (Idk if that was her name so I just made it up don't come at me)

As I climbed up the ladder to get to her, I thought thoroughly about my mission: talk to her calmly and get her to ground safely.

Here goes nothing

"Hey Rebecca, can you look at me?"

She turned around with a poker face. I carefully got closer to her, "I know life is hard trust me, but after every storm comes a sunshine, we just need to be there to see it."
