To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before Pt 1
For you @felicitous-one and @lilywoood 💜💜Hope you enjoy the first part!
Buck sat in his room reading a romance novel when he was called to dinner. His dad had worked hard on it, dinners weren’t the same since his mom died but his dad was trying. Maddie had invited her boyfriend Chimney over because it was the last time they would get to spend time together. Maddie was going off to college and she had chosen one on the other side of the world. Buck had been friends with Chimney first, but for the last two years Maddie had been dating him.
When Buck and Chimney met, they were always together. Buck was obsessed with Chimney and had the biggest crush on him. He never wanted to steal Chimney from Maddie. It was just a crush. Usually when he developed a crush, he just wrote letters. Letters that expressed how he feels. He just usually needs to get his feelings out, so getting them on paper helps. Chimney was his first love.
His little sister always thought he needed to get his head out of the books, but she enjoyed spending time with Buck. They got along very well. Katrina and Buck enjoyed having movie marathons and dreaming about the guys in the movies. Jake Ryan was their favorite. Katrina also had a small hunch that Buck had a thing for Chimney, even though he never told her.
“Mads, I got you something.” Chimney said handing her a plane ticket.
“Did you already pay for this?” she asked.
“Yeah…I-I thought you would be happy.”
Buck raised an eyebrow as Maddie just sighed, walking towards the door.
“I can’t believe you paid for this. I didn’t ask you to.”
“I know you didn’t Mads. I want to visit you. I thought it would be a great surprise!” Chimney cried.
“Well, ya know what I think? I think we should break up!”
Katrina gasped while Buck raised his eyebrows in shock. Neither one of them saw that coming. Chimney looked heartbroken. Maddie walked him out after that and they argued some more. Everyone went about their business, but they were all worried. Buck wasn’t sure Maddie knew what she was doing. Sure, she was going away to school but breaking up with Chimney? It was like he couldn’t breathe and he wasn’t even dating him.
A few minutes later Maddie showed up in his room, laying down on his bed.
“Mom said I shouldn’t go off to college while having a bf. I just took her advice.”
“Really?” Buck sighed, “Mom said that?”
“Yeah, but did I make the right choice?” Maddie asked, “Things will be hard for Chim. Especially a long-distance thing. I think this was for the best.”
Buck sighed, “Maybe it is.”
They talked for another hour before the pair went to bed. They had a big day tomorrow. Maddie was leaving and they wouldn’t see her for months.
At noon they made their way to the airport. Maddie said her goodbyes. Katrina cried and Buck could barely speak. The Buckley’s went for pizza after that, but none of them felt like talking much. A few days later school started and Buck hated it. Her dad wanted her to meet new people and so did Maddie. The only person Buck had was Christine. She was his best friend.
“Same old. Maddie’s off to college and it sucks, but other then that things are the same.”
“Get out of my way loser!” A voice from behind said.
Buck groaned upon seeing who it was. “Can’t you go around George?”
“Lay off.” Christine said.
Before any response could come Eddie walked up behind George and put his arms around him. Buck wanted to puke. Eddie was another recipient of his letters. In the sixth grade, he and Eddie shared a kiss during spin the bottle. It was the first party that Buck had been too and for as long as he could remember Eddie had been with George. They had gotten together shortly after that party as a matter of fact.
“Hey babe.” Eddie smiled kissing his cheek.
“Hey. I was just tormenting Buck…” George smiled, “Care to join?”
“Uh…no thanks.” Eddie looked at Buck apologetically.
Buck turned his head sideways, but smiled anyway.
“Too bad.” George said pulling out his embrace and walking away, “See ya later Buckley.”
“Oh, it’s fine I’m use to it by now.” Buck sighed staring at Eddie longer then he should.
“Well, I have to go but I’ll see you guys later.”
Chris sighed, “He is such an asshole for not saying anything to George. I mean he admits to just blatantly being an asshole.”
The day passed with little excitement. Katrina settled on the couch ready for their movie night. She loved her brother, but sometimes she thought that she and Chris were his only friends. He and Chim use to be close and he also had Hen, she lived down the street but that was basically it. Katrina knew that Buck needed to get out more, so she intended to help. Buck didn’t think his life was going to change in a drastic way that year, but boy was he wrong. The next day Katrina sent his letters. Buck noticed a few days later. That’s when Eddie approached him with one of the letters.
