    Summary

    Buck thought he did the right thing. He thought silence was the price of being a good brother, a good friend.
    He didn’t expect his body to remember the violence — or to start anticipating it everywhere.

    As Buck spirals quietly, flinching and bracing and waiting for the next blow, Eddie starts to notice. And once Eddie notices, he refuses to look away.

    Or: the long road from silence, guilt, and learned fear to finally being held without flinching.

    Summary

    Evan knew he'd be in a group home forever. I mean, who wants a 15 year old boy who's got autism and ADHD? Nobody. That's the truth. Everyone wants a pretty, shiny baby, perhaps a young, cute toddler. Not a traumatised, desperate of love teenager. So why was he chosen? That's the question he wants to know. Maybe it was pity.

    Summary

    After months of personal struggles and the mounting pressure of city life, Buck disappears into the quiet of an Amish community to heal. As the 118 scrambles to find him, Buck discovers stillness, perspective, and the courage to face his fears. Through letters, patient mentorship, and simple days in the countryside, he begins to understand the meaning of home. When he returns, he must rebuild his bonds with Eddie, Christopher, and the firehouse—learning that peace can exist alongside chaos, love can coexist with responsibility, and belonging is something he can finally embrace.

    Summary

    Buck hears the word once — in the wrong moment, in the wrong state of mind — and it sinks its teeth in. What should have been a passing comment twists into a truth he can’t shake, convincing him that everyone in his life is worn down by the weight of him. As he withdraws, slipping further into a quiet, dangerous spiral, the people who love him fight to remind him of one thing he can’t see on his own: he was never exhausting… only terrified of being left behind.

    Exhausting (adj.): not someone who is too much to love — but someone too important to lose.
