(Season 1 Buck)

Enough is enough. A teenager can only handle so much before snapping, and you had hit your breaking point. The voices were too loud and hope was just too far away. The pain of an abusive household, fake friends and depression was too much now. It was way too much.

So you put on your headphones and hopped on a bus

You got off the bus and looked around. It was dark, but not pitch black. You headed over towards the highway bridge, that was where you wanted things to end. Mostly because of the beautiful view over the cars, the city of L.A. in the horizon and the thousands of starts in the sky. If things had to end, why not do it with a beautiful scenery.

As you get settled on the railing and take a deep breath you get that very uncomfortable feeling of pressure in your chest and a lump in your throat. Instead of letting the feelings take a hold of you, you just crank the volume in your headphones up. The bass made your brain quiet. The way it silenced all the voices and made your feelings drift away was just magical.

You closed your eyes and took a deep breath, a breeze hit your face and it made a shiver run down your back.

As you were sitting and slowly getting more and more comfortable and coming to peace with everything, you could see lights flashing behind your eyelids.

Already?

You opened your eyes and looked behind you, a fire engine and an ambulance had just pulled up. You were about to get pulled off this bridge.

You turn off your music and take off the headphones so they can’t sneak up on you, and after a couple seconds you hear doors slam.

You look behind you and see a rather young firefighter approaching

“Hi, I’m Buck” the young firefighter says.
