The car erupted into a large fireball. A loud sickening crunching sound echoed beside him. Darkness hit him as he made impact with the hard ground. The next thing he could remember was a strange feeling, like he was being lifted. His eyes shot open to find Dixie and Iain hauling him onto a spinal board. As they moved him he began to scream in pain, at first the pain was bearable but as every second passed it intensified more and more to the point where he was on the verge of blacking out.

Ethan was working in the ED when the news came that there had been an explosion at the site of an RTC. It was supposed to be his turn attending to a crash but Cal had insisted that as it being the anniversary of the crash that nearly killed his little brother, it was best that Cal went. The moment he heard the news, a feeling of dread filled his heart.

The paramedics arrived shortly later with only one injured person. Ethan was not allowed to treat anyone, in case his feelings got in the way, he was expected to sit back and observe. This was difficult because he just wanted to be useful instead of sitting around getting in the way. Instead he was made to complete some paperwork at the reception desk until news came of the explosion. He had joined the team outside to see if there was any sign of his brother. However as the ambulance doors swung open, he couldn't control himself. He took one end of the stretcher and wheeled it to Resus.

He looked down at the figure who was lying on it to find his brother, with tears streaming down his face, begging for pain relief. It broke his heart. He placed a hand gingerly on Cal's shoulder and whispered to him reassuringly. 'You will be okay Cal. Just keep calm. I promise, everything will be alright, just look at me' He soothed.

Cal was writhing in agony, screaming and shouting as they wheeled him into Resus. Ethan slipped his hand into his, squeezing it gently to reassure his brother. Whilst Zoe and Lofty examined his injuries, Ethan was permitted to administer some morphine and fluids. He set up the necessary equipment for his brother. He tied a tourniquet around his brother's upper arm. He tightened it before searching for a vein. Once he found one he carefully pushed the needle through his brother's tanned skin and into the vein. He attached the drip after injecting some morphine through the cannula.

'There we go, mate that should feel better' he murmured, brushing the tears from Cal's face.

Cal began to relax, until Zoe started touching his chest, shoulder and foot. He started screaming at her to get away from him. Ethan knew if he didn't get Cal to calm down, that they would have to sedate him. Ethan spoke to him softly. 'Caleb, come on, that's no way to treat Zoe, and she's trying to help' he whispered.

Cal looked at him before realising that he shouldn't have said those things and apologised. Unfortunately for Cal, he had fractured his ankle, two ribs and dislocated his shoulder. It was no surprise that he was in so much pain.

Zoe needed to pop his shoulder back into place, something which everyone in the room knew would be painful despite the numerous pain relief options available to them. Ethan stood beside his brother, holding his hand tightly. Lofty provided the traction whilst Zoe would pull the arm into place. Ethan handed his brother a mouth piece of Entonox, to help dull the pain.

Ethan held his brother still whilst they injected more morphine into him. Zoe placed her hands on his arm. She took his hand in hers, and gently moved it. Lofty placed his hand on Cal's chest pushing him into the bed, so he couldn't move. Ethan stood by helplessly holding Cal's hand in his own. As Zoe manipulated the shoulder into place, Cal screamed, making Ethan sob. He hated seeing his brother in so much pain. He held Cal's injured arm in place whilst Zoe put it into a sling. There was not much that they could do about the ribs but they would put his leg in a plaster cast for 6 weeks.

Because of his injured shoulder, Cal would have to use a wheelchair rather than crutches, something which he had already complained about.

'I don't see the point, I'm not an invalid' he screamed at Zoe. Zoe shook her head.

'You need to otherwise I won't discharge you' she ordered. Cal groaned in defeat.

Ethan wheeled him to the car. He grabbed a blanket from a nearby trolley and wrapped it around his brother. Cal was getting tired after all of the medication and hardly uttered a word during the twenty minute car journey home. Instead he seemed to be cursing the fact that he was injured and had to be wheeled around by his little brother.
