    Summary

    Steve makes his first mix tape after Nancy calls him bullshit. He's sick of always being kicked around or tossed aside, and he's especially sick of the way it makes him feel. So, he turns on the radio and starts recording any song that makes him feel good. He grabs a marker, some tape, and names it his Rainy Day Mix.

    After that, he can't seem to stop making mix tapes; it becomes a form of therapy for him, and, in the end, it's the best thing he ever did.

    Summary

    Buck groaned, scrubbing a hand over his face. “You’re not listening to me.”

    “I’m not gonna die, Buck—”

    “I know that,” Buck cut in, “I know that in forty-eight hours you’ll be back to normal, but you don’t have to be miserable for two days just for the sake of punishing yourself! It doesn’t matter if this stupid stomach bug doesn’t kill you, I’m not just gonna leave you here to suffer. If you’re not going to take care of yourself, I’m just gonna have to do it for you. So stop telling me you don’t need anything, and just fucking tell me what you want.”

    Summary

    Eddie is finally settling into El Paso life when a call from Chimney sends a lot of well controlled emotions spiraling.

    Or

    Eddie picks up the phone attempting to keep his voice light in hopes of easing the sinking feeling he has. “Hey Chim what’s up?”

    Chimney’s tone was clipped as he responded, “it’s about Buck.”

    “Is…is he okay?..” Eddie couldn’t tell if his heart was beating to fast or not at all.

    “Yes and no.” Chim just sounded exhausted now, “Look man I know you got obligations in Texas. But he needs you right now…their dad died 2 days ago…”

    Summary

    He’s tired of reading ‘I’m so sorry for your loss’ and ‘He will be missed’ and ‘He was a great man’. Because he wasn’t.

    If there was one thing his father wasn’t, was a ‘great man’. Phillip Buckley was a pretentious asshole, a shitty father and a horrible person.
    Buck didn’t miss him. He should feel bad about it. He was his father, the man who raised him, fed him, put him through school, and Buck couldn’t find it in him to miss him.

    His father didn’t care all the times Buck almost died, so why should Buck care about Phillip dying? He doesn’t think it’s fair.

    (or, phillip buckley dies and buck doesn't know how to feel about it)
