"Ethan! Come on! Wake up." Charlie was still shaking Ethan. Ethan started to groan. Charlie turned Ethan's body around so he was on his back and Charlie armpit dragged him out of the cupboard. He rested Ethan up against a wall in the corridor.

"Charlie?" Ethan asked groggily.

"Are you okay?" Charlie asked while he had his hand on Ethan's shoulder he also noticed the blood running down Ethan's head. Ethan nodded faintly before coughing harshly. "What happened? Who did this to you?"

"My...father..." Ethan responded breathlessly. Charlie sighed slightly.

"Right Ethan, it looks like you might of inhaled some bleach fumes so we need to get you checked out." Charlie watched Ethan who was shaking his head sideways.

"No. Need...to...tell Cal...our...father...has found us." Ethan worried.

"Let's look after you first. Just stay there." Charlie suggested. he then grabbed his phone and called Zoe.

Zoe answered the phone. Why was Charlie calling her when they are both working?

"Charlie?" Zoe asked confused.

"Zoe. It's Ethan. It seems he has been locked in the storage cupboard on the first floor for an unknown amount of time and it looks like he has inhaled some bleach fumes. This was possibly done deliberately. I need you to tell Cal that his and Ethan's father is here in the Hospital. Also call security. He's dangerous." Charlie explain

Zoe was stood there holding her phone, shocked then finally responded.

"Right okay Charlie, just get Ethan down here so we can check him out." Charlie hung up. Turning his attention back to Ethan.

"Why was...there unopened...bleach in the cupboard anyway?" Ethan asked, confused. Charlie knew what he was going to say will hurt Ethan but he needs to know.

"Ethan, there was bleach poured into a bucket, your father must of done it." Charlie honestly answered, watching Ethan's face change to disbelief. Ethan couldn't believe it, well he could. Ethan stood up and slowly made his way down to the ED.

"Ethan? What are you doing?" Charlie got up and stopped him.

"I'm going to warn Cal." Ethan attempted to hurry.

"Look Zoe will do that, come on." Charlie supported Ethan downstairs. Cal was standing at the reception desk talking to Noel when he turned his head and saw Ethan leaning against Charlie. Cal jogged over to his brother.

"Ethan? What's happened? You're bleeding." Cal spotted as he placed a finger on some of Ethan's blood.

"Zoe not told you? Your father did this. He's here." Charlie watched Cal's facial expression change. Cal stood there shocked and a little scared. Ethan was still coughing and sounding breathless.

"Cal?" Charlie asked worryingly. Cal left his daze and turned to Ethan.

"Right let's get you an oxygen mask. Thanks Charlie." Cal changed the subject, he smiled at Charlie before taking Ethan to a cubicle. Ethan was sitting on the bed with his legs over the side so Cal could clean his face and apply steri strips. Ethan was holding the oxygen mask before removing it.

"He poured bleach in the bucket, while I was in the cupboard." Ethan spoke in disappointment.

"I know, he did the same to me when I was 13 because I broke a beer bottle, was in there for half an hour." Cal sighed. Ethan was speechless. How could their father be so low?

"He also said I was a waste of space and that me and mum were useless." Ethan spoke sadly.

"It's just words, Ethan. They don't mean anything." Cal motivated his brother.

"Are you glad you got a different surname to me and dad?" Ethan asked curiously.

"Yes! I felt ashamed to of had the same surname as that scumbag. I wanted you to be a Knight too but mum thought Tim should at least keep his surname with one of us. He always thought I was the good son because I did kickboxing. When you were in bed by nine, he use to put me in cage fights on Saturdays during my teenage years. He always said I needed a weekend job." Cal honestly answered.

"That's why you always had bruises? I thought Dad hit you, like he did with me." Ethan finally realised.

"He thought he was toughening you up."

"He said that was your job." Ethan said confused.

"I liked having a wimpy, nerdy younger brother to protect. But turns out you are tougher than me sometimes." Cal smiled.

"What do you mean?" Ethan asked.

"Well like with Taylor, you helped me see who she really was, even though you got run over by her cousins car, when you went down a mineshaft to save a little boy from drowning when I tried to stop you, when you saved Honey from being blown to pieces and from Bonnie and when she was also taken and almost raped, you didn't give up finding her. You managed to pull through it all and I respect that of you." Cal answered as truthfully as he could.

Ethan smiled proudly, he forgot he did most of that stuff. Cal grabbed his brother and hugged him.

"Ah my boys getting along. That's new." Tim approached them. Cal and Ethan broke their hug and looked at their father. Cal saw red.

"I'm gonna kill you." Cal stormed towards his father but Ethan jumped off his bed and quickly ran in front of Cal stopping him from throttling their father. "How could you be so low? You scumbag!" Cal shouted.

"I'm not scared of you, Caleb." Tim chuckled. Ethan still restrained Cal.

"SECURITY!" Ethan called to anyone who heard might of.

"Oh no you don't!" Tim grabbed Ethan and threw him to the floor. "I should of barricaded that door!"

Cal ran towards his father and pinned him to the floor.

"Don't touch my brother!" Cal shouted. Security arrived and Cal quickly got off his father before getting handled by security. Cal walked over to his brother and picked him up off the floor. "You okay?" Cal asked examining his brother up and down, Ethan nodded, before both looking at their demented father being dragged away.

"I should of smothered you both in your sleep!" Tim screamed at them.

It's just words, Ethan. They don't mean anything.

Cal's advise ran through Ethan's head.

I hope you liked the fact I mentioned a few of my previous stories in this chapter. Think it turned out pretty good : )
