A New Day
Buck woke to Kelly sitting on his bed with a cup of coffee in his hand. Last night was first night in a very long time where he got a full nights rest. There was no sign that Eddie was even there, “he left a note. Here, I’ll start of breakfast.”
Buck took the coffee and waited for Kelly to disappear down the stairs before he read the note.
Buck,
I know I’ve said it before but I’m saying it again, words cannot describe how sorry I am. I let you down in so many ways. I hope one day you’ll be able to forgive me. Chris is staying with abuela today, I’ll tell them there’s a chance you’ll stop by. There’s not a day that’ll go by where I won’t miss you. But I understand I hurt you and you need time but whenever you’re ready I’ll be waiting.
All my love,
Eddie
Buck couldn’t help the tears that fell from his eyes. He knew he’d see Eddie again, they were inevitable, but until that time comes he going to be the best version of himself. He learned a lot of things in the past month but biggest thing he learned was just how strong he really was. So today he’ll go see Chris, explain things to him the best that he can and say his goodbyes but assure him it’s not forever. This was only the beginning and for the first time in forever Buck was looking forward to the future.
