I guess this is my interpretation of what is going to happen in next weeks episode.
The Secret Life Of Casualty.
Chapter 193.
Ethan Hardy hated funerals. In the 27 - years he had been on earth, he had buried the woman he had thought was his mother, his real mum had died from pneumonia and now he faced going to Arthur Digby's. They had been two nerds that had trained together.
"Are you OK?" Asked Cal. He wasn't going to the funeral, as he hadn't known Arthur but when he suggested that he come with Ethan for support, Ethan shrugged him off, saying.
"I'll be fine. "
"You'll be burying me next " Ethan said as he did up the buttons on his coat.
Cal looked like he wanted to cry when Ethan said that. "Don't say that, bro. "
"But it's true "
Cal shook his heed, replying. "I'm not burying you for a long time "
Ethan left his bedroom, pausing on the landing to see what he was wearing. He had a pair of black trousers, a white shirt on and a black waistcoat. He walked down the stairs and left the flat.
Ethan looked around. There was Morvon, Serena, Dom and Zosia. Essie and Sasha. Maliack and Chantelle. Even Jac Naylor had come.
'I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies,' says the Lord.
'For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.'
Dom, Sasha and Milack, who had been Arthur's carriers on his final jounery, placed the coffin down. On, the top of the oak coffin, was a large picture of Arthur.
As the coffin was lowered in to the ground, Ethan imagined that it was him they were burying.
"We are here today to celebrate the life of Ethan Hardy. Brother to Cal. "
Cal looked around at Ethan's friends. There was: Rita, Robyn, Zoe, Honey. Iain, Jez, Charlie.
"Ethan's brother, Cal would like to say a few words. "
As Cal stood, he made his way to the alter, passing Ethan on the way, he paused and said "Sorry mate"
He unfolded the paper. "Ethan was my brother, we may have fought, but we were brothers and I loved him"
"Ethan?"
"Ethan?" It was Sasha, who was talking to him. "We are going to Albies to raise a glass to Arthur. Do you want to come?"
Ethan swallowed. "No, thanks, Sasha. "
Sasha nodded and put his arm around Essie as they left the cemetery.
Ethan returned to the flat, he lifted a shaking hand to his face and wiped the tears from his face.
Cal looked at him, concerned.
"How was it?"
Ethan just shook his head.
Cal walked in to the kitchen to get a bottle of whisky out of the cupboard as well as two glasses, he poured them each a generous amount and walked back out to the living room, passing Ethan a glass.
"What are you doing?" Ethan asked.
"We are raising a glass to Arthur " Cal replied, putting the glass up in the air.
"To Arthur. " He said, clinking his glass with Ethan's.
"To Arthur. " Ethan replied, clinking his glass against his brothers and taking a sip.
Thanks for reading. Just something random that I wrote after re - watching the scene where Ethan joined in with the dance. I loved the scene with Jac and Zosia as well.
