I must have fallen asleep as I could feel myself being woken up by the same nurse who brought me a drink Jay.

" hey your sister is being moved to oncologey now"

he was looking me directly in the eyes. Once he said ellie was being moved I could see her lying on a bed comming out of the resus room heading towards the lift. I got up in a rush after her I couldnt see louie had he gone if so where. But I could see the sky was grey raining ever so lightly.

" your step dad left a while ago he said he would be home later"

I thanked him and with that he left. Home later those words made my blood run cold. I stood next to ellie in the lift being pumped full of different drugs to keep her alive I just stared at her in horror was this really my fault so many questions running through my head. The doors of the lift opened and revealed what seemed like a whole different world there was no buzz like there was downstairs, just the sounds of slow breathing, coughing, people dying. As we moved further in nothing changed there was a bed in the corner of the room quiet and peaceful. They lifted ellie up into the bed and I sat in the chair next to her holding her hand. I could feel something on my shoulder it was mr jordan

" it wasent your fault if you didnt do what you had done she would have been gone already" he said it in words so calm like he had been practising. He gazed once more at ellie and left it was just us I gave in the urge of sleep.

Nick returned back downstairs to his e.d the shouting people running around just to be back there agin made him smile. He couldnt help thinking about the two sisters upstairs. He cant understand why there had to be those illnesses making people suffer like they do. He after all had the same condition as ellie but he was lucky he came through ellie wouldnt. He saw jeff and dixie at reception mucking around with noel

" Im sure you are aware this is a hospital not a playground " and with those simple words he left back to his office to sort out the budgets.

Dixie and Jeff snorted out laughing at the fact they had just been told off by somebody who wasent even their boss. But deciding they didnt want to get on his wrong side, left back to their ambulance.

" Jeff ..." dixie questioned

" yeah " Jeff wasent sure what to expect

" do you think we should go upstairs she how ellie is "

" I supposs your right wouldnt hurt would it " with that the pair of them both returned inside escaping the soft rain falling going back to noels desk to find him playing with his action figures. Slamming them under the desk when he saw the pair thinking it was still a secret but he didnt know he had been the topic in the staff room for months now.

" oh what ive just been told off for chating to you and not the patients " noel was continuing to complain to them both they were the reason he always seemed to be of task.

" we just wanted to find out where ellie was ?" dixie asked him reasuringly

" oh ok then " a few clicks more on his computer and he looked up to them both to speak once more

" Shes is up on the oncologey ward level 2 "

" yeah cheers mate " Jeff lead the way to the lift pressing level 2 on the keypad inside

" come on slow coach "

" yeah yeah your round first tonight "

" what ?" Jeff looked at her in a puzzeled expression but before dixie could think of a smart comeback the lift doors opened to reveal the sad depressing atmoshphere of death. Both their face expessions dropped into a look more serious and sympathetic. They didnt need to ask where she was they could see a small figure lying in the last bed gaurded by someone they were getting to know. They walked over quietly they could see ellie looked a lot worse. Mia was sat in the chair her legs over the side fast asleep.

" bless her, she looks exhausted " dixie turned aound to see her partner was gone a few seconds later he returned with a blanket. slowly walking towrds Mia he coverd her up with it in an attempt to make her more comftorble.

" thats better " he said walking backwards still watching her in a protective way. He put his hand around dixies waist.

" come on sweetheart" dixie was urging him to leave them letting them both sleep in peace.

" yeah " Jeff turned around to walk back to the lift looking over his shoulder at Mia once more he was sure something was wrong and he wasnet going to give up until he knew what. They both returned to the lift back downstairs and outside to start the journey home.

I woke up in the same chair next to Ellie but something seemed different I was warm I looked down to see there was a blanket covering me shutting out the cold. I looked once more at Ellie her eyelids flikering.

" ellie ?" desprate for an answer

" mia what are you doing here ?" she said this opening her eyes with hate and despair in her voice.

" wheres dad ?" she questioned in a demanding way I didnt answer she took my wrist gripping it hard looking at me in the eye.

" I want him get him i dont want you " she let go of my wrist I had no hope with her the best choice to make was to go home and get louie. I got up off the chair and staggered over to the lift my whole body aching but I was used to it now pressing floor button on the lift. The lift doors shut leaving me isolated from everything, they opened seconds later. I could see people I regognised but no Jeff no Dixie I was dissapointed in a way. I left to outside it was no light and started the mile walk home. when I arrived i got out the key to find louie was already awake on the chair drinking a cup of warm liquied tea mabey coffee he turned to see me and stood up.

" where were you last night WHERE WERE YOU ! " he was right up in my face his hand pushing my chest back towards the wall.

" ellie i was with ellie she wants you to see her " I hoped to god he would belive me he just laughed and smirked backing away from me but not relesing his hand which was radiating pain through my whole body. It was a few seconds before he did he took his hand away from me turning his back leaving the house and slamming the door I was alone. Left alone to sit and cry so much I wished jeff and dixe were here now.
