5 months later
It had just gone 2 o clock when Ethan started to scream his brothers name in his sleep "Cal,Cal,Cal!" he cried as he tossed and turned in obvious discomfort, suddenly footsteps approached and he could feel someone presence in the room with him as he felt something brush his shoulder and felt himself being shaken awake "Ethan, Eth wake up" the voice started shouting trying to stir the young doctor who was clearly being troubled by something and having a nightmare, "Cal?, what are you doing here, is it really you?" Ethan questioned the figure groggily in disbelief and Cal looked it his baby brother quite concerned "Nibbles, what do you mean, im here, your having a nightmare im right here!" his brother soothed him stroking strands of his hair "its been 5 months without you, I still can't sleep properly why did you have to leave me?" Ethan sobbed still half asleep but Cal looked at his brother puzzled trying to work out what Ethan was talking about. Then it realisation hit him, how could he have possibly forgotten. 5 months ago today he nearly died, 5 months ago today his brothers world came crashing down. "Ethan, Eth wake up im alive, im right here, im not dead" Cal cried trying to wake his brother up but to no avail so Cal went back into his bed falling asleep instantly.
6 hours later Cal was rudely being awoken by his alarm clock, so he stumbled out of bed and went to check on his baby brother who was now sleeping soundly. Deciding he would do something nice for a change, he began to plan making breakfast for his brother to show him how much he appreciates him. Gently Cal approached the two flights of stairs and slowly started to walk down them, when he got to the fifth step his vision started to blur so he gripped onto the banister as he slipped on something on the step below him and instead of falling down the stairs he slipped backward being flung over the banister bracing himself for the thud and darkness he would succumb to as he fell. However that wasn't the case as the darkness never came and instead he forced his hand to grasp onto the banister as he clung on for his life as he hand began to slip looking down he felt nauseas seeing the hallway which would soon have his lifeless body thrown onto it. Now knowing his only chance was Ethan he began to scream his brothers name hoping he would rouse from his slumber and come to his brothers rescue. While he waited he tried to consider different ways he could get out without falling. suddenly he realised all he need was his phone and began to rummage slightly for his phone but cursed when recalled he had left his phone in his room. All of a sudden a wave of tiredness passed him and he lost his grip. Preparing himself for the fall he closed his eyes and saw black spots corrupt his vision as it went dark.
Hearing a thump come from downstairs Ethan's eyes flickered open as he stumbled out of bed removing his glasses from his nightstand and placing them in his pocket he cautiously staggered down the steps and sheepishly shouted "hello is anyone there?" slowly taking step by step he gripped onto the banister not wanting to fall down the stairs finally reaching the bottom he saw a blurred, motionless figure sprawled onto the floor. wanting to get a closer look Ethan took his glasses out of his pocket and positioned them correctly onto his face, then instantly regretting his actions and wishing he hadn't. suddenly he sprinted upstairs searching for any phone he could find, then he dialled 999 waiting impatiently for anyone to answer and help Ethan it felt like forever but it was only a few seconds before the operator picked up.
"Hello, Emergency service operator, which service do you require?" the operator asked
"Ambulance please!" Ethan responded quietly
"I'll connect you now sir" she told Ethan sharply
"Ambulance service, can you tell me your name and the address of the emergency" the second operator asked as Ethan relayed the information
"right, Ethan can you tell me what has happened, are you hurt?" they asked him
"no its my brother, I found him lying In the hallway, there's blood everywhere please send help" Ethan told them any knowledge he had learned being doctor had slipped away
"ok, Ethan your doing really well I know this is upsetting but you being really brave" the operator told him sounding patronising, Ethan felt the opposite of brave he was a doctor who couldn't even help his brother.
"right Ethan I need you to check if your brother's got a pulse, can you get two fingers and slowly place them on his neck, can you feel anything" they said as Ethan did exactly as he was told
"he's got a pulse its faint but there!" Ethan told the operator anxiously
"ok Ethan do you know what conscious means?" they asked him as if they were talking to a child
"yes, im a doctor of course I do!" he snapped
"right ok, help is on its way" the operator said abruptly
"is sorry for snapping you were only trying to help, he's still unconscious" Ethan told her sincerely
"okay, Ethan try not to worry to much help shouldn't be long" the operator said ending the call and Ethan looked towards his brother wondering how they were back here 5 months later.
