Chicago's Girl (K.S.)

"I Don't Care Anymore"

Next day. morning. At Gabby and Matt's. 

I walked into the living room and sat down on the couch. 

Then i wrapped myself into the fluffy blanket. 

Gabby walked into the living room "hey, sad cake, you okay?"

I shook my head "no, i am not "

Casey walked in "Gabby, let her be"

Gabby looked at him confused and then looked at me "what happened?"

I sat up, shaking my head "i just stopped crying. and i will start again once i talk about it "

Gabby looked at me confused "did anything happen? did Kelly hurt you?"

I grimaced "you could so say so"

Casey sighed and sat down on the couch table "Listen, Florence, it never my intention to make you feel that way. I wanted you to hear it from him but when i realized that he was not gonna say the truth....i just had to. "

I put a hand on his hand, nodding "i know, Matty, that's what i love you"

He nodded. 

Gabby asked confused "what is going on?"

Me "Kelly screwed Stella"

Gabby's jaw dropped "you're kidding me"

I looked at her.

Gabby froze "you're not kidding"

I shook my head.

Gabby "what the hell?"

I shrugged and drove a hand through my face.

Gabby "what are you gonna do?"

I shook my head "i don't know. i don't even know if i can look at him without crying. "

Gabby "you gonna talk to him about it? you have to"

I shook my head "i don't have to do anything. What i need is to hear what happened form him and that without me asking for it first"

Casey " you know he won't do it"

I nodded "I still have hope"

Casey "that hope is gonna break you even more"

Me "that's not possible, Matty"

Casey sighed "wanna take half the shift off ?"

I nodded "yeah."

Casey nodded "okay, i'll let Kelly know"

I nodded "could you two do me a favor and not tell anyone about it? i wanna know how long the two are gonna hide it from me. How long they can keep it up lying in my face"

Gabby nodded "anything for you"

I nodded "okay, thank you"

At the Firehouse. In the kitchen. 

I was sitting at the kitchen counter, watching Casey preparing the meat. 

Hermann  "Captain Casey's got that look in his eye."

Otis "Casey's cooking. What's the occasion?"

Casey "Well, Little Florence over there is not feeling well lately so i thought i'd try and bring a smile to her face"

I asked kinda amused "with food poisoning?"

Casey shot me a look. 

Connie walked over to me "Florence, envelope for you."
