"You said that last time." Ethan pointed out. "And the time before that, and the time before that, and the time before that..." Cal cut him off. "I know I did, but this time I'm serious, I really like her." Cal said as he got his toothbrush out of his rucksack. "Who is she anyway?" Ethan asked. "She's my patient in cubicle four." Cal explained. "She's a rescue worker with the air ambulance crew and she's single." Cal mentioned. He brushed his teeth meticulously. "Jeez, Cal, she must be important if your making all this effort, I don't think I've ever seen you put deodorant on!" Ethan chuckled and Cal shoved him playfully. "Shut up, I need to concentrate." Cal sighed as he took his hairbrush and hair gel from his bag. He styled his hair carefully and took a can of hairspray out. "Hey, that's my hairspray!" Ethan said, coughing as the sticky fumes engulfed the pair. Cal stuffed the hair products back into his bag and strode back to the staffroom and shoved it in his locker. He took out a bottle of breath spray and sprayed it in his mouth before striding back to the cubicle where Sarah was sat. She stood up, she straightened her pencil skirt with her hands and adjusted the cuffs on her blouse. Cal noticed she had a small rose tattoo on her right ankle, it's stem and thorns trailed down her foot and made a heart shape at the base of her big toe. "Ok, we are just waiting for your results, they shouldn't be long. Are you feeling ok?" He asked as the colour drained from her face. He grabbed a cardboard bowl and held it under her chin. He put his hand on the small of her back. She threw up into the bowl and Cal's hand moved up and down her back. "Sorry, I really should have eaten breakfast this morning, I was called out to a fire." She said glumly. "Turned out to be a false alarm" she sniffed. "Hey, don't cry, I'm not judging you. Let me go and get you a sandwich from the staffroom, I'll be back in a jiffy." He darted out of the room. He grabbed a prepackaged sandwich and a bottle of water from the vending machine. He grabbed a plate and a glass. He opened the sandwich and put it on the plate, he grabbed a bag of crisps and poured some next to the sandwich. He grabbed a glass and took the bottle of water and the food back to the cubicles. "Here we are then, a nice homemade BLT sandwich!" He said enthusiastically. "Thanks" she said taking a bite of the sandwich. "Yum, what margarine did you use?" She asked. "Um, 'I can't believe its not butter?'" He said, stumped by her question. "Really?" She said seriously. "It's butter, Cal, and I saw you go to the vending machine and heard the expletives you used when you kicked it." She giggled. "Nice try!" Cal froze. "Yeah, because I can't cook and I'd get sued if I gave you food poisoning." Both of them laughed at Cal's joke. Cal noticed she threw her head back when she laughed and showed off her pearly white teeth. He loved it when a girl showed her true emotions. "Dr Knight, here are the X-rays" Lofty passed him the iPad. "Ok, let's see what we have here!" He said thoughtfully, "ok, you have a displaced fracture of the left radius, it will need realigning" Cal explained to the young woman. He turned to the nurse. "Lofty, we'll need some entonox, and some plaster." He said. "Righto!" Lofty smiled and went to get the things the doctor ordered. "Ok, Sarah, you need to suck in the entonox and keep breathing it in, it will take the edge off of the pain. This is going to hurt, tell me if it gets too much." Cal said handing her the medicine. "Ready?" Lofty pushed the girls shoulders into the bed, Cal gripped her arm and pulled slowly. She gritted her teeth, her face contorted with pain, she kept taking a drag on the entonox. "Ok?" Cal murmured. Sarah nodded, knowing if she opened her pursed lips a scream would inevitably escape. Tears streamed down her face. "Just hold on for me, yeah? Just a little while longer." Cal said. They heard the bone crunch back into place. Cal gently released her hand and propped it up on the pillows lying next to her. "Ok, we'll need another X-ray just to make sure that it's in the right place. Then I'll plaster up your arm." Cal said. "Sorry, I'm a bit of a wuss when it comes to pain." Sarah said apologetically. Just then the curtain swished open. "Dr Knight, this is Sarah's brother, Daniel" Louise explained. "Thanks Louise" he said graciously. Daniel ran forwards, noticing Sarah's tear stained face. "Hi Daniel, I'm Dr Cal. Knight, I've been treating your sister. She has a fracture left radius and a large laceration to the back of the head. She isn't concussed and there are no further injuries. She is about to have another X-ray to confirm that we've managed to realign her arm correctly and then once we've plastered it up she is free to go, as long as she has someone to closely monitor her for at least 24 hours." Cal explained to the worried sibling. He remembered how he felt when it was Ethan who was hurt, or Lexi. He could only imagine how they felt when it was him.
