So I'm back with the sequel, hopefully you'll enjoy this and as it's sequel to spiralling out of control, it'll make more sense if you read that first :)

The end was just the beginning- Arthur's back at Holby with a new attitude, New direction and new patients but how long will it be before things go wrong again? And if they do, will Arthur be able to bounce back?

Chapter 1:

"So, you've got one more day before you go back. How you feeling?" Dom asked as he sat down on the sofa alongside Arthur. "I'm fine" Arthur said. "Okay, have you taken your meds?" Dom asked. Ben had put Arthur on a low dosage of anti- anxiety meds, just to help him when he needed it.

Arthur sighed and nodded his head, "yes Dom, I have." Dom smiled. "Don't forget that you have a meeting with Hanssen this afternoon" Dom said and Arthur rolled his eyes. He didn't want to have this meeting, he just wanted to get back to work and start fresh. However that wasn't going to happen.

"What time is the meeting?" Arthur asked. "2pm, I think" Dom replied. "Who's going to be there?" Arthur asked, sounding slightly nervous. "You, Hanssen and Serena, why?" Dom asked, sensing his friend was uncomfortable. "No reason" Arthur said looking at the clock. "We better get ready" he said.

Arthur sat outside Hanssen's office, trying to stop his trembling hands. His legs were jiggling, and his breathing was fast. Arthur just tried to stay calm. He breathed in and out, knowing that he had to move on. He was a wreck before, but he's not now. He's ready now, ready for whatever he has to face. At least Arthur hopes he's ready.

"So do you know what we're going to say?" Hanssen asked Serena as they got ready in the office for Arthur. "Yes", Serena replied. "We are explaining to him about what's going ro happen when he comes back" she continued. Hanssen nodded and sat down at his desk. "Should we get him in then?"

Arthur went into Hanssen's office, looking down at the floor, staying calm. He sat down in the chair, put his hands on his lap and looked down at them. They were shaking and his legs were trembling, he took a deep breath and looked up at Hanssen and Serena. Serena had a sad look on her face, while Hanssen just looked stern.

"How have been Arthur?" Serena asked, hoping that was the right thing to say. "Good" Arthur replied, hiding the tremble in his voice. "Good, so you know why we're having this meeting today?" Serena asked, she felt like she was talking to a kid.

Fair enough Arthur didn't look as bad as what he'd done before, but he still had bags under his eyes and he seemed thin; too thin. It was sad, that's all Serena could think of, it was sad. A once independent, confident and great doctor had spiralled out of control and hit rock bottom.

"So then Dr. Digby, myself and Ms Campbell have discussed your return and how it's going to work" Hanssen said and Arthur nodded, his heart beating loudly in his chest. "You're going to return to work tomorrow, okay" Hanssen said and again Arthur nodded. "Now what will happen is, instead of you treating patients on your own, you'll work with either Nurse Fletcher or Mr Di Luca" Hanssen said and Arthur nodded but didn't say anything.

It was like his independence had just been taken away from him. He liked Fletch and Raf but they were there before and knew everything that had happened. Would they treat him differently? Arthur could feel his heartbeat rising and he breathed deeply, forgetting everything around him.

"Is that okay, Dr. Digby?" Hanssen asked and Arthur nodded. "Yeah" he replied, his voice sounding faint. "Arthur we are here to help, if things get too much then talk to us" Serena said and Arthur nodded. "Yeah, thanks" he said before standing up and walking out of the office.

"What do you think?" Hanssen asked Serena after Arthur had left. "I think he's getting there, slowly" she said and Hanssen didn't quite agree. "I don't know" he said. "I think we should keep an eye on him" Hanssen said and Serena rolled her eyes. "Don't worry we will."
