Zoe, max and lofty made their way back to the ed after their pager went off because a RTC had happened. Max and lofty rushed to the staff room to get changed whilst zoe stood outside with connie waiting for the ambulances to arrive. After a busy 4 extra hours on shift everyone in the ed made their way home. Max and lofty walked home once they arrived home lofty went straight up to bed. Whilst max grabbed a beer from the fridge and went for a shower and put the radio on he heard the song that him and zoe use to make out too. Within seconds he was crying on the shower floor think about what happened today with zoe walking in on him a a student nurse, who he was just with in order to get over zoe. If he had waited one more day would he be somewhere else right now maybe in the women that he loved arms.
After getting himself together he made his way to bed and looked at his clock and saw it was 1:17am, he then grabbed his phone and texted the student nurse he was kissing saying ' hi it's max sorry about today, I was just using u to get back at my girlfriend. Hope I haven't upset u too much. Max'. After sending the text he started to read the old text zoe had sent him and looked at a picture he took with her. He looked at this until he fell asleep think about the times he had with zoe. He tossed and turn all of the night until Robyn and lofty knocked on his door to tell him they were on the way to work. He start his shift a couple of hours later, he got himself up made breakfast and a cup of tea for himself and went for a shower and got ready.
He walked out of the house and made his way to work. He walked down a ally way the to cut some time out as he was running a bit late, were he ran into 6 lads who grabbed him and demanded his phone and wallet. He gave them his wallet as he knew there was nothing in it, but he told them he didn't have his phone as he didn't want to lose the text and picture he had with zoe incase she never became close to him again. This was take with offence and 1 of the lads punch max whilst the other grabbed him. Then 1 of them pulled out a knife and stabbed max in his stomach to which he collapsed and the lads ran off.
In the ED connie asked zoe if she had seen max on her recent fag break, in which she said no. Connie then found Robyn and asked her as he was 30 minutes late for his shift. Robyn rang max and left him a voicemail asking him were he was. His phone vibrated in his pocket when Dixie and Ian arrive they were both in shock at the state max was in and how he had got like that a good friend of their that they spent hours drinking in the pub after work with. They put pressure on the stab wound that was bleeding heavy. They made their was to the ambulance were Dixie stayed with max to make sure he was stable and also to keep pressure on the wound whilst Ian drove and let the ED know about them coming in he didn't say it was max as he didn't want to worry everyone.
Tess got the call and told zoe, lofty, Robyn and Rita about the on coming casualty they all ran toward the fount of the hospital. When Ian pulled up he jumped out and opened the door when Dixie and Ian got max out to which he lay on a trolly with a oxygen mask on and Dixie pressing down firmly on his stomach were the wound was. Robyn broke down in Rita's arm he may drive her made all the time but this was her brother after all. Zoe looked at him as they raced him into resus this was the man she had loved and who she was going to tell yesterday she still loved him laying there bleeding and batted and bruised. They got to resus were zoe, tess and Rita took over ordering drips and fluid to be put into him and test to be run, Robyn and lofty just stood and watched praying he would pull through. Tess had just rang theatre to were he would have to go in order to close up the wound. When suddenly he arrested to which zoe started chest compression and Rita started to push oxygen into his lungs. After a couple of minutes tess shocked max and then zoe did more chest compression with each compression she got more emotional and annoyed at what his body was doing. She started crying then said with the next compression ' wake up max walker I love you and need you in my life'.
Will max wake up ? and with Tess, Rita, lofty and Robyn all knowing Zoe's feeling for max how will they react?
