911, Chris, Song Fic,

Do you know what it’s like
To feel so in the dark?

Chris looked at the graves of his father’s parents who had been taken out when they crossed the divider on the highway when Abuelo drunk again driving.

To dream about a life
Where you’re the shining star?

He remembered fondly about a man from his childhood who had made him feel like a rockstar, and how he had disappeared not long before he and his father tried to make it again in LA. No one knew where his Bucky went. When asked, his father just said he deserted them again.

Even though it seems
Like it’s too far away

He ended up moving back with his grandparents after his father was arrested for fighting again and now his rockstar days were ended.

I have to believe in myself
It’s the only way

He kept the memories of his time with his Bucky and how his Buck kept telling him, he could do anything he wanted if he put his mind to it. It was the only way to get past the fact that his grandmother wanted him helpless and dependant on them for the rest of their lives. Which ended in the car wreck.

He looked at the contents of the snail mail letter that arrived special delivery to him the day after the funeral. The name on it was from Evan Christopher Buckley from Peru.
In it was an education Trust Fund for ten million dollars. The amount the fire department ended up paying him for the discrimination lawsuit against them for never allowing him to transfer out of the 118 after everything that happened to him under their various leaderships.

This is real, this is me
I’m exactly where I’m supposed to be now

He was a rockstar again

Gonna let the light shine on me
Now I’ve found who I am

See me Bucky
Rockin’ it at MIT in Engineering

There’s no way to hold it in
No more hiding who I wanna be

Thank you

This is me

Forever Yours

Christopher
