Ethan woke up with a sudden. His heart was beating, his breath was pounding. For a second he froze. Slowly he sat up. He gathered his bearings. ' It was just a dream' Ethan said to himself. ' Just a dream'. He took some deep breaths to control his breathing. He looked at his hands. They were covered with sweat. His whole body was. He swung his legs over to sit on the edge of the bed with his feet on the ground and tried to look for his glasses. Even though he left them in the same place every night it was still quite a challenge sometimes for him. After squinting his eyes and a few fumbles he found them and put them one. 'Thats better' Ethan thought. Now he could see clearly. He looked at the clock. 5:30am. His alarm didn't go off for another hour. It was still dark outside Ethan saw after looking out of the window. He got up from bed and went to the bathroom, trying to make as little noise as possible to not wake Cal. The brightness of the bathroom light hurt Ethan's eyes as they adjusted to the bright light. He looked into the bathroom mirror and looked at himself. His face was pouring with sweat. He decided to take a shower now as he did not fancy sitting around in a puddle of sweat. He stripped down and took a shower. He felt refreshed after getting the sweat of him. After drying himself of his went back into his own room, not before peaking into his brothers. He didn't need to go far before hearing Cal grunts and groans. The sounds that he made in his sleep. After concluding that Cla was still fast asleep he went into his room and got changed into his clothes. Not wanting to mess to his morning routine to much he decided to spend the extra time on some reading. When 6:30 am came around his alarm went off as normal. Ethan switched it off and went to the bathroom again to brush his teeth. Then he went to the kitchen to make breakfast. Porridge was his favourite. It's good for you, keeps you full and Cal doesn't take it, meaning that he'll never have to worry about Cal taking the last of the porridge. He made his porridge and added some honey to it, sat down and began to eat it. Cal then appeared, Stumbling in like a zombie looking for his morning fix of coffee. Ethan flicked on the morning news on the TV. At this point he had almost forgotten about his dream. Then Ethan saw the headlines. Ethan instantly turned the TV off. Thankfully Cal was still not fully awake to notice. Ethan's heart started to race. ' No, no it can't be' Ethan thought. 'No, it's just a coincidence' Ethan thought trying to calm himself down. Ethan finished his breakfast trying to forget about it. But every so often it would come back. His hand would shake uncontrollably. 'No!' He tolled himself constantly. ' It was just a dream, nothing else. Just a dream'.
Later on when Cal and Ethan had started their shift at the ED, Ethan just wasn't right, just not himself. He was with Robyn treating a patient when Robyn noticed Ethan was not himself. 'Ethan?' Robyn asked 'Are you feeling ok?'. ' I'm fine' Ethan responded sharply. Robyn, who was taking back at how sharp Ethan was asked 'Are you sure?'. 'Yes, I'm fine!' Ethan almost yelled in Robyn's face. 'Right, Mr Jackson you are free to go'. After the patient was discharged and left Robyn went to seek Cal.
'Cal, is Ethan ok?'
'Yea, why do you ask?'
'Well, I was with him and he didn't seem like himself so I asked if he was ok, then he replied to me by yelling!'
'Woah what, what happened?'
'Well, we were with this patient and Ethan. He just wasn't himself. You know, he looked sad. When he was checking over him he found something that would normally excite him, but he didn't react to it. Then I asked him if he was ok, and he shoated at me that he was fine'
'Right, all go and have a chat with him'
Cal went of in the search for his brother. He found him completing a bit of paperwork. Cal went up to him. 'Alright Nibbles' Cal greeted Ethan. Ethan did not respond. 'Whats up, tell me' Cal persists. 'I'm fine' Ethan shrugs of. 'Ethan, I know you're hiding something!'.
'I said I'm fi-' Ethan says as he turns around. He see's a mark on Cal's face. He cannot take his eyes off it. 'What, I walked into a door this morning, no big deal' Cal says. However Ethan isn't listening. He is transfixed in the mark.
'Ethan, Ethan!'
Ethan opens his eyes. His head is spinning
'Nice and gently'
'Ohh' Ethan groans
'I told you something was wrong' Robyn says
Ethan looks up, everything is still fuzzy. Slowly his version stabilises
'Wha?' Ethan attempts to speak
'You fainted' Cals says, concerned for his brother. 'You sure that you are feeling ok?'
Ethan nods
'Let's get you out of here' Cal says as he lifts Ethan who was lying in the middle of the hallway. He helped him onto a bed in a cubicle
'I said I'm fine' Ethan groans
'Well, you banged your head when you fell, it needs looked at' Cal says
Cal tends to where Ethan hit his head.
What will happen next?
