Sweet - as- honey: It was not at all a bad prompt, I'm sorry if I made you think it was as it wasn't, I really enjoyed writing it, I guess I had writers block, because I didn't want it to become similar to my other Cal and Ethan chapters. (as I fear they sometimes do) Thank you for the review.
Set when Cal and Ethan were kids with the prompt: Matilda takes the boys to Alton Towers, for a trip, during half term, but when the boys are on a ride, the tunnel collapses, will the boys escape?
I'm no doctor so anything medical may be incorrect.
Ethan: 8
Cal: 11
The Secret Life Of Casualty.
Chapter 127.
"Can we mum?" Cal asked, a fairground was in town for a few days and he was desperate to go. It was half term, and the boys each had 2 weeks out, and Ethan was busy getting his homework out of the way, so he didn't have to worry. Cal, as usual, was leaving his until the last minute.
Matilda looked at the TV where the advertisement was playing out. She supposed it would keep them from complaining they were bored and she would get some peace.
"Fine " She agreed, as she went back to her ironing.
"Cal, wake up " Ethan was excited.
Cal groaned and opened his eyes, looking at Ethan, who was dressed in a pair of jeans, he had a shirt on and his trainers.
He got out of bed and opened his wardrobe, getting out clothes.
They both went down to the kitchen where Matilda was making them both breakfast. They sat down and started eating.
"Boys, remember, stay together and have fun" Said Matilda as she parked the car.
"We will " They replied, taking off their seatbelts and getting out of the car.
Cal had promised Matilda that he would look after Ethan.
"What do you want to go on first, Eth?" Cal asked.
Ethan shrugged his shoulders.
"How about " Cal started, he knew he had to take in to consideration that Ethan was scared of heights. "Air "
Ethan looked at Cal, his eyes wide.
"It'll be fine" Cal reassured him as they headed to join the queue.
The boys got in to a carriage and Cal pulled the bar down and a sifter person, come round and checked that they were all securely in and then the ride started.
The ride suddenly stopped, then it lurched forward.
There was a rumbling sound and then the roof caved in and debris fell on the boys, trapping them. Ash and rubble surrounded them. Ethan coughed, Cal then realised that he didn't have his brothers inhaler. "Just breath " Cal whispered to Ethan.
"Cal, I'm scared " Ethan whispered, his glasses were broken and he had a cut on his forehead and he was in pain.
Cal was scared too, but he would never admit it to Ethan."I know, mate " He tried to move, to comfort Ethan, but the bar was trapping him. His leg was trapped to.
"My sons are in there " Matilda cried.
"Madam, we are doing all we can to get them out " Said a paramedic, who had been summoned to the fairground.
"Ethan " When she saw her son, Matilda flung her arms around him.
"Cal's still trapped " Ethan said tearfully.
Matilda was scared for Cal, she hoped she wouldn't have to bury him.
They were rushed off in ambulances.
"This is Caleb Knight, 13, involved in a roof collapse, BP 60/ 90. GSC 3 " stated the paramedics.
"This is Ethan Hardy, 11, involved in a roof collapse, BP 60/ 90. GSC 4 " stated other paramedics.
A consultant named, Zoe Hanna, took Cal's case and a doctor called Tom Kent, took Ethan's case, leaving Matilda torn on who to go with. Ethan was her baby, but she knew that her panicking would do no good.
Cal was now in his own room, lying on the bed, his leg was in plaster and he had bruises around his stomach.
"Hey, nibbles" He said to Ethan when he saw him.
"Don't call me that " Ethan joked, sitting on the bed. His broken glasses were in his shirt pocket, which was covered in dust.
Cal laughed, as he winced.
"Cal, are you OK?" Ethan asked.
"I'm fine" Cal held his ribs as a nurse with brown hair and chocolate brown eyes come in to check.
Even at a young age, Cal realised that she was fit.
The boys were now at home and Cal's mates had been around to write messages on his cast.
Matilda had vowed to sue the fairground Ethan had, had nightmares and had woke up screaming and Cal had comforted him, holding him tight through the night, whispering soothing words.
I have a Cal and Ricky chapter planned, I'm hoping it'll be up tomorrow.
