Chapter 11.

Ethan had been home for 3 weeks following Cal's decision to bring him home. Each day, Cal thought Ethan was getting better but Ethan didn't know how to feel.

Ethan was up early one morning, he couldn't sleep. He had lied to Cal. He promised to take his medication, but he hadn't since he left the treatment centre. He was scared of what they might do to. Cal knocked at Ethan's door early morning with tablets for Ethan. He entered Ethan's room and found him sitting there, doing nothing.

"Its that time of day again Ethan." Ethan smiled and took the tablets off Cal. He swallowed the painkillers but he didn't swallow the antidepressant.

"I've got to go to work this afternoon and Zoe wants to see you so we'll go together." Ethan smiled and nodded.

"Come on, let's have breakfast." Cal left Ethan's room and made his way downstairs. Ethan quickly spat out the tablet and put it in a box with the others he hadn't taken. He hid them and made his way downstairs. Cal presented him his breakfast but Ethan didn't want to eat it.

"Thank Cal. Umm, can we walk to work today?" Cal looked at Ethan suspiciously, but then nodded.

"Sure, if that's what you want." Ethan started eating his breakfast, he wanted to be sick but he knew he had to eat it for Cal. He quickly finished his breakfast and was about to go to his room until Cal stopped him.

"Ethan, where are you going?"

"I need to get changed. I can't go like this" Ethan pointed to his pyjamas and smiled. Cal nodded and Ethan left to go to his room. He ran into his bathroom and started to make himself sick. After he'd finished, he cleaned up and got changed. He back into the lounge and sat with Cal.

"That was a really nice breakfast Cal, thanks"

"No problem. Glad you enjoyed it. How are you feeling?" Ethan shrugged.

"Okay I guess. Still getting over the changes that are happening." Cal turned and faced Ethan.

"I know it's a lot to take in Eth, but you're getting better. We're helping you and you're getting there. The past 3 weeks have been really good, you are better here than at the clinic. You've done so well." Cal took Ethan into a hug and smiled.

"Come on, let's start walking to work." They got up and started to walk to work. They arrived at the ED and went to find Zoe straight away. They found Zoe by the nurses station talking to Robyn and Rita.

"Hey Zoe, can we come and speak with you now?" Zoe turned around and smiled when she saw Ethan. She nodded and they walked to her office. Cal and Ethan sat on the sofa and Zoe sat opposite them.

"So Ethan, how are you feeling?"

"Fine thanks. I feel a lot better. The medication works." Zoe nodded and smiled.

"You look a lot better. Do you mind if I weigh you?" Ethan's breath hitched. He didn't want to be weighed but he knew that they would get suspicious if he said no. He nodded and smiled. He got onto the scales but didn't look down.

"That's fine Ethan. Thank you." Ethan sat back next to Cal. "Is there anything else you want to ask?" Ethan took a deep breath in.

"I want to come back to work." Cal looked and Ethan shocked.

"You never mentioned that to me Ethan."

"Please Zoe, I really want to be here. I'll only do light work. Please."Ethan pleaded. Zoe didn't know what to do. She then remember Tara, the junior doctor from upstairs. She had a brain tumour but they allowed her to do light duty. Ethan was recovering from an eating disorder, would it be okay for him to do light work? Zoe sighed and nodded.

"Okay Ethan, only light work. A couple of shifts a week at the most." Ethan smiled. He was happy.

"Thanks Zoe, I won't let you down. I'm going to find Lily, then I'll be off home. I'll see you later Cal." Cal smiled and Ethan left.

"Are you really going to let him work Zoe?"

"I will only let him do a few hours a week. Just to help him with his recovery. Cal, we need to talk about Ethan's weight."

"What about it? He's doing fine. He's eating every meal." Zoe smiled.

"When Ethan left the clinic he weighed in at 57 kilos, he's put on weight. He's now up to 59 kilos. He doing really well. The psychiatrist sessions are helping, the medication seems to be helping as well. I say in about 6 months time, we'll have the old Ethan back."

"Do you think he'll relapse?" Cal hated thinking like that. He wanted Ethan to get better but he had to look at all possibilities. Zoe sighed.

"There may be a risk but I can't say for sure. We'll keep doing what we're doing and get Ethan through this."

"What happening with Doctor Williams?" Zoe sighed and shook her head.

"He died, yesterday afternoon. He had a heart attack." Cal was shocked. He couldn't tell Ethan.

"I can't tell Ethan. It might cause him to have a set back" Zoe nodded.

"I'd better be off, my shift starts in an hour and I want to have some lunch before I start."

"Okay Cal, thank you for today. Take it easy." Cal smiled and left the office.

Ethan arrived home but he wanted to exercise. He just felt the urge to go running or go on his cycling machine. He decided the cycling machine was better then no-one would catch him. He quickly got changed and started cycling.

Cal was nearing the end of his shift. He was happy, he could check on Ethan soon. He finished with his last patient, got changed and started to walk home. He arrived home quickly, as much to Cal's surprise. He opened the door and started to look for Ethan. He went into Ethan's room and gasped when he saw Ethan on his exercise bike, sweat pouring off him. He walked up to Ethan and turned the machine off.

"Ethan, what are you doing?" Ethan couldn't look at Cal in the eyes. He just kept his head lowered.

"I'm sorry."

"Ethan, why are you exercising?"

"BECAUSE I HAVE TOO." Ethan shouted. Cal was angry, shocked at scared.

"Please Ethan. I can't lose you again. You need to slow down on the exercising." Ethan nodded and got off the exercise bike.

"Have you eaten dinner?" Ethan nodded. He hoped Cal wouldn't see through the lie.

"That's fine. Shall we watch a movie?" Ethan nodded and smiled. He felt angry at himself that he lied to Cal but he knew he had put on weight, he just wanted to get rid of it again.
