I Love That We Are All Just Overthinking Everything, But Also Can I Say That I Love That Handwriting!

I love that we are all just overthinking everything, but also can I say that I love that handwriting!

The mask on maddie lap is her work one(black lining), so it does look like shes does go into labor at work and chimn at work too. He leaves before he sees Albert? So i'm not sure why albert dropped them off unless itr was a false alarm they where out for a meal and thought it was contraction or appointment cancelled

I had something similar on my list where I was writing possible ideas down, but then it started not making sense again so 🤷🏻‍♀️

Is it really not Albert that gets hurt and we’re overthinking or are we just confused on where certain scenes start/end? Also I hope y’all can read my writing lol

Bad Things Bingo: Please do It's All My Fault

For just a moment, time seems to stand still. Maddie can’t move, can’t breathe, can’t do anything but stare straight at her camera and hope that what she just witnessed wasn’t real, that someone is just playing a very cruel joke on her.

She knows that’s not true. Not when she watched as Chimney collapsed onto the sidewalk below him and a pool of blood started to form too quickly for her liking. She isn’t dumb, she was a nurse before she became a dispatcher and if someone loses that much blood almost instantly...well, the odds are terrible.

And It’s all her fault.

The reason Chimney is currently dying in front of her house right now is because she dragged him into a mess she damn well knew wouldn’t end well, and knowing that felt almost as if she plunged that knife into Chimney herself. Maddie shouldn’t have gotten involved with him, she shouldn’t have run to her brother in the first place and just stuck with her plan on running until she couldn’t run anymore. At least then the people she cared about would still be safe, they wouldn’t have to watch their backs and worry when and if her crazy husband would strike. This mess is of her own creation and she should have dealt with it better. Maybe she shouldn’t have ran out on her husband in the first place. Then her brother and everyone around him would be safe and untainted by the darkness Doug carried with him everywhere he went. Her mother had once told her she made the bed, so now she would have to lie in it.

It’s the hard banging, the door almost caving in on itself, that finally snaps Maddie out of her trance like state. Doug is here, and he’s going to kill her. There are no ifs or buts about it. She had just watched him stab a man to death in the complete open on her camera. There is no question of what he will do to her once he gets inside. It’s with a shaky hand she grabs for her phone sitting on the table behind her and runs upstairs to her bedroom and locks the door behind her.

She needs help, she needs…her hands are already dialing the number before she can stop them and her heart pounds harder with each passing second the person on the other end doesn’t pick up. Finally though, their voice filters through and she feels just a little bad because she’s sure she’s just interrupted their evening and...why the hell hadn’t she just called 911?

So good! 😭🥰🙏🏼

The minute his phone lights up with a call from his sister, he doesn’t hesitate in picking up. It’s three in the morning, the buzzing sound of his phone had pulled him from his already light sleep, as though his mind and body had been waiting for this moment. “Maddie?” He squeezes his eyes tight shut through sleep filled vision, rubbing his eyes with his other hand when he moves to sit up in his bed.

“I need you.”

Three words. That’s all he needs to hear to practically throw himself out of the bed, “I’m on my way.” She hangs up before he can say anything else, trying not to read too much into the tone of her voice. If there were something wrong with the baby, he wouldn’t be her first call and considering Chimney is still fast asleep on his couch as he heads down the stairs and she hadn’t asked him to wake her boyfriend up, his unborn niece or nephew must be absolutely fine.

Buck sighs, grabbing a face mask from the side, heading out of the door, trying not to let his imagination run wild. Living through a pandemic wasn’t easy; going to work every single day, having to be more careful than ever, thinking about every grocery trip he took, not able to go anywhere other than work and home and repeat. But the hardest thing had been not seeing Maddie. This was meant to be a joyous time, he was meant to be able to fuss over her, to watch her grow, to spoil the baby before he or she was even born. It’s been three months and Maddie is five months pregnant and he’s seen her once and that was before he had even known.

But he knows, as sorry as he feels for himself and what he’s missing out on, Chimney is the one sleeping on his couch and missing every part of the pregnancy he’s meant to be heavily involved in. Buck wasn’t stupid though, he could see from the video calls that it was starting to weigh heavy on his sister’s shoulders, that she was becoming less understanding and more impatient with Chimney, the longer it was.

He feels lonely, at times, despite the fact he lives with someone and he works with the same people he has always worked with. It’s just isolating, perhaps because there’s too much time now to internalise and think about everything, think about what they are missing out on and what they could be doing or what they should be doing at every spare moment. The car ride to Chimney’s apartment - well, Maddie’s too, now, he remembers - is shorter than he had remembered, a journey not travelled in over three months. Everything had changed so quickly - one minute his sister was telling him she was pregnant via a phone call and the next Chimney was knocking on his door saying he couldn’t go home and risk Maddie or their unborn child’s life. Maddie had moved out of her apartment and into Chimney’s with Albert and Chimney was living with him in his apartment and everything had changed.

Maybe you think a ship is problematic, but ask yourself this: is it wedged sideways in the suez canal disrupting 12% of global maritime trade?

But if something was to happen to you or her on my watch? I can’t carry that, Maddie. That will be the thing that breaks me, so please – It’s okay. No, it’s not! It’s okay ‘cause I’m not gonna do that to you. I love you, I’m not gonna put you through that.
