Chapter 34
Buck P.O.V
I feel depressed, sad, unmotivated...everything is so exhausting. Getting out of bed is the hardest part of the day...I wasn't at school the whole week. Except for the test I was supposed to write but yeah this didn't work out so well...this day is going to be the worst day ever. Maddie invited our parents. That's another reason why I am depressed.
Taylor: babe come on you need to get ready
Buck: no *sighs*
Taylor:Buck. I'm serious. Get up. Your parents will be here in 20 minutes. Maddie is going to get mad.
Buck: pregnant women get mad so easily.
Maddie: *shouts from downstairs* Buck I need your help
Buck: don't have time now. I need to get ready
Maddie: *comes upstairs* you gotta be kidding me. You're still in bed? It's almost 2pm.
Buck: yeah I don't feel like getting up.
Taylor: I'll help you downstairs. Maybe you should talk with him. I don't know how to get him out of bed. *kisses Buck and goes downstairs*
Maddie: *lies down next to him* what's Wrong baby brother
Buck: nothing *puts his head on Maddie's shoulder*
Maddie: come on talk to me. I know something is bothering you. Is it because of mom and dad?
Buck: that's one of the reasons yeah *sighs* it's just...Nick was at school on Monday...I kind of had a panic attack...Maddie I'm scared to go to school and then you told me that mom and dad are coming and I started to panic...and I failed the test yesterday. I just sat there and wasn't able to write anything. Maddie everything is fucked up right now. I don't know how I should survive this day
Maddie: first of all get out of bed *smiles* come on. I'm sure they are excited to meet Taylor.
Buck: you really think That? Because I don't.
Maddie: *grabs his hand and puts it on her stomach* you feel that? *smiles* your little niece is kicking
Buck: wait wait wait Niece? *smiles* it's s Girl??
Maddie: yeah
Buck: *sits down and puts both hands on her stomach* hey little girl. It's your uncle Buck *smiles* only 17 weeks left until you're here. I can't wait to meet you.
Maddie: *smiles and kisses his head* now come on. Put on some jeans and a shirt and shoes and brush your teeth. But wait Uhm, before you change, take a shower *laughs* you really need one
Buck: wow thank you *laughs*
I grab some clothes and go to the bathroom. After 20 minutes I come downstairs. I give Taylor a long kiss.
Taylor: what was that for? *smiles*
Buck: everything. Now one last thing. I don't know how my parents will react. Just try to stay calm.
Maddie: I think I should tell you that.
Chimney: here are our guests *smiles and comes outside*
Maddie: hey mom *hugs her softly*
Margaret: hey Maddie *smiles* wow your belly is huge.
Philip: Hey honey *kisses her cheek* everything alright?
Buck: Uhm hey dad, hey mom
Philip: Evan *smiles softly* chimney how are you? Everything okay
Taylor: *grabs Bucks Hand*
Chimney: I'm fine yeah. How about you? *smiles* you want something to drink?
Margaret: water would be great.
Buck: mom, dad this is Taylor.
Philip: are you the Girl my son cheated on? Why did you go back to him?
Maddie: Dad
Taylor: Uhm *laughs nervously* because he apologized and showed me that he changed
Buck: it's none of your Business.
Margaret: *sits down* so how's school going? You still in? Or finished?
Buck: I'm doing my senior year now.
Philip: what about you Taylor?
Taylor: i finished school this Summer.
Margaret: so you're older than Evan?
Taylor: yeah but only one month. *smiles* we were in the same class but because of his accident he needed to repeat the senior year.
Philip: oh you mean the accident he caused because he was driving while he was high? He could have killed his friend
Maddie: dad.
Buck: I'm clean for almost 10 months now. Just if you want to know and yeah thanks my injuries healed pretty well.
Margaret: so Maddie what are you expecting? *smiles* boy of girl?
Maddie: a little girl *smiles*
I thought it's going to be terrible but it's even worse. I'm still that kind of loser.
Margaret: so Taylor what are your plans now? College? *smiles*
Taylor: yeah next year. Because of an injury I wasn't able to do my first year yet. I will study at the San Francisco college with a cheerleading scholarship. I want to study journalism.
Philip: this sounds great. Why weren't you able to do it this year?
Taylor: while the shooting in our school before summer break I got injured. My lungs aren't healed completely so I'm not able to do cheerleading right now.
Margaret: oh Taylor I'm so sorry to hear that.
Maddie: so who's hungry?
Chimney: let's grab the Food.
Buck: I'll go.
Chimney: oh Buck hurry up, we need to tell you guys something
I quickly go to the kitchen and grab the salad. I put it on the table.
Philip: so what do you want to tell us?
Maddie: *shows her left hand* we're getting married
Buck: oh my gosh congrats *hugs her and gives her a kiss on her cheek* congrats *hugs chimney*
Taylor: congrats *smiles and hugs both*
Margaret: we never gave up hope that you will marry the right guy
Buck: oh come on! You really have to ruin this moment? *angry* so will you come to her wedding this time? Or will you just stay home again
Philip: we knew that she's going to do a big mistake. But we didn't know he was hurting you
Buck: how could you not know? You lived in the same town! Oh wait you never knew what was going on with your own kids when we lived under the Same roof
Philip: you moved out when you were 13. you have no rights to say that
Buck: you know why I moved out?? *stands up* because I have spent my entire life feeling like a constant disappointment!! I have walked through fire every single day of my life because of you!! That is why I'm in therapy because nothing I ever did was good enough!! *shouts*
Philip: we tried, but you always
Margaret: you never made it easy on us. Either one of you.
Maddie: we were supposed to? But we were kids.
Margaret: Evan I don't know what you expected us to do!
Buck: *Shakes his head* love me anyway
Taylor: Buck *sighs*
Buck: no...it's...it's the Same...like always...they don't know you but you're way more important to them than me. I'll never be that important to them. *grabs his phone*
I read a message from Eddie that I should come to the hospital. I grab my stuff and leave the house. I want to start driving when someone opens my car door
Taylor: wait for me *closes the door* so where are we going?
Buck: Beach...I need some time *sighs*
I drive to the beach and get out and sit down in the sand.
Taylor: I love you *kisses him* no matter what. You are perfect the way you are. You will be a great uncle and Uhm...
Buck: what? *puts his head on hers*
Taylor: Buck *sighs* I need to tell you something
