Summary
Black spots dotted his vision. Dying here wouldn’t be so bad— Maddie and Daniel would be sad, would probably avenge his death but he knew that his father would sooner whip him for getting caught in the first place— he had nothing to live for.
Except.
Chris was gripping the back of his shirt like his life depended on it and Buck just couldn’t stomach the thought of the boy dying in his arms. So, he kept going, kept running until his legs felt like jelly and his arms felt like they were falling out of their sockets.
Perhaps Buck's fate was doomed the moment he decided to rescue Christopher Diaz from his cruel brother-in-law, had been decided the moment Eddie Diaz's gaze fell onto him-- caught in the man's webs. Grateful for the blond’s part in saving his son, Diaz offered the Buckley’s a deal they couldn’t afford to refuse— he would protect Evan Buckley from an untimely death in the hands of Doug Kendall.
The catch? None, of course.
Eddie wasn’t the type to limit himself when he wanted something, or in this case, one particular someone.

Summary
“Our second tribute from District Twelve is Evan Buckley.”
Eddie’s eyes snap up and he’s pretty fucking sure his heart stops beating all together. If he lets his eyes flutter close he can feel the patter of rain, harsh and ice cold, against his skin. The way the air saturates with the smell of burnt bread.
He can see the shape of a boy thrown out into the mud, hands cradling something precious in his hand. The way that bundle was placed in Eddie’s own, shaking palms as a voice whispered, I’m so sorry I can’t do more before he was gone.
But Eddie doesn’t let his eyes close. He watches as Evan Buckley — Buck, please just call me Buck — ascends the stairs to take his place next to Eddie.
Not you. Please. Anyone, but you.
