It was end of a long shift, most of the team were in the pub. However, the atmosphere was very somber. Everyone had their minds on Ethan and Cal. They all knew Cal was in denial. They couldn't imagine being in his position. But, what they did know was whatever decision Cal made he would have their support.

"How's he doing?" Rita asked.

"Cal?" Zoe asked.

"Yeah."

"Not too good. He's still not accepting the fact that this it what Ethan's wants."

"It is a tough decision to make, but I can understand where he's coming from."

"I do too."

"Another round?" Iain asked trying to lighten up the mood a bit.

Everyone nodded. Iain had just brought the second round of drinks when the door to the pub swung open.

"Guys, you need to come quick. It's Cal!" Lofty announced breathlessly.

The others forgot about their drinks and followed Lofty outside. Once they reached the ambulance bay Lofty pointed upwards. Looking to where he was point everyone gasped. Standing on the roof edge was Cal. They all knew what he was thinking. Zoe stepped forward from the crowd that was beginning to form.

"Cal? Please come down." She said trying to take control of the situation.

"No. Ethan's dying and when he dies I've got nothing left. I might as well go with him too." Cal called as he took another step closer to the edge.

"Cal!" Lofty shouted. "Please don't do this, mate."

"Look we know you don't want to make this decision. We know you don't want to switch of the machine but, think about what you're doing. What about Ethan? What do you think he would say if he knew you were ending your life?" Zoe wondered.

"It doesn't matter what Ethan thinks, does it? He's going to die anyway. All you're asking me to do is to make it easier for him. All you're telling me to do is end his life before he does."

"Please, mate. Ethan wouldn't want you do this." Max added scared for Cal.

"Ethan wouldn't want me to do this? What about what I want?" Cal cried as he continued to step closer to the edge. "What about the fact that I don't want to kill my brother?"

"Cal, please. We know you don't want to kill him, we know you don't want to watch your brother die in front of you. Neither do we but, we also know you don't want to watch him suffer. Ethan wouldn't want you to kill yourself. How do you think he would feel?"

"HOW DO YOU THINK I FEEL?" Cal screamed. "I HAVE TO MAKE THE DECISION! I HAVE TO DECIDE WHETHER I KEEP MY BROTHER ALIVE OR NOT!"

"Mate, I know it's difficult and I know you're going to have a hard time dealing with it, but Ethan has already decided. He can't go on living like he is." Lofty explained. "Now, I know you wouldn't want him to suffer."

"Maybe, just maybe he doesn't want to die." Cal said attempting to get them to see his perspective.

"Cal," Zoe said. "You know as well as I do that this won't be the first time he'll try to kill himself. You're going to have accept that."

"Well, then if that's to be your final decision then I might as well do it. I might as well jump."

"No, Cal! Don't." Zoe shouted. "Look, please just come down from there. Just come down and we can talk about this."

"There's nothing to talk about. Ethan's going to die. There I've accepted it."

It fell silent for a few minutes. Then the silence was broken.

"Why does it have to be like this? Why does he get to choose to die and I don't?" Cal pleaded. "It's not fair. None of it is."

His colleagues' attempts to get Cal to come down from the roof were futile and their concern for him grew every time he took one step forward towards the edge. Cal could sense their worry, but what did he care? He didn't. All he cared about was Ethan, all he wanted to do was be with his brother and if that meant killing him and then himself he would. It didn't scare him. He just needed to close his eyes and let go. And he did. Cal stepped over the edge of the roof and...

"CAL!"
