This chapter was prompted by guest with the prompt: Can you do another Richard and George request? Well, here it finally is, I hope you enjoy it. I'm sorry, it's been a while.


The Secret Life of Casualty.

Chapter 337.

George pulled open the curtains to the flat that he and Richard co - owned, excepting to see sun shine through the window as it was Spring time. Instead, he seen rain on the windows, and snow on the ground. He sighed, that would make it even difficult to get in to work. He looked at his watch, he, already was, dressed in his characters scrubs.

When they eventually arrived at the studios, they saw that the majority of their colleagues, were outside and they realised they were filming a stunt. Stunts were usually, reserved for the end of a series, or around Christmas time.

They both got out of the car and walked over to where the directors were standing, both curious to see if they had a part in the stunt which was about to unfold in front of them. The main camera man walked over to then and handed them each a script, giving them a few minutes to find their diolouge and give it a quick read before engaging in to "character. "

Richard had to run across the car park to Charlotte and Micheal and say in character. "Right, what have we got, guys?"

"Ready?" The main camera man asked.

Richard nodded, determinedly, he loved doing stunts.

The camera was on him and he was off.

As he started running, he was unaware there was a patch of ice which he skidded on and hit his head, as he heard a crunch and hissed in pain, it was clear, he knew because of playing Cal that he'd broken something. But he knew that he had to carry on as if he didn't, he wouldn't get paid and he survived on his wages to pay half rent with George and to buy shopping.

"Richard!" George shouted, temporarily, breaking character, as he tried to rush over to his friend. But he found the directors arms around him, preventing him from going over, as there was a chance he could fall too and then there would be two actors out of action and they couldn't have that.

Richard groaned as he came round, it was hardly surprised as he had opened a wound on the back of his head that would need a CT.

"Don't move" Said George, who had experience in First Aid and knew there was a chance he had concussion which was likely. Richard tried to sit up but he felt dizzy as he tried to open his mouth but he found he couldn't and for a few minutes, he was scared. He stood up, a bit on shaky legs and decided to carry on working. He cleared his throat. And got on with the rest of his scenes, which were, after his fall, in the hospital with Derek Thompson.

Once, all their scenes were filmed, they were allowed to head home. George was driving and kept checking if his friend was ok.

Richard sighed. "I'm fine, mate. "

George continued to drive home as he frowned. "Are you sure?" He asked, just as he arrived at their block. He turned off the engine, got out and opened the door to the passenger seat and helped him through the double doors and up the stairs, he could feel him breathing heavily.

"What happened?" George asked when they were safely in their flat, Richard was on the couch.

"I fell on the ice. " Richard said. "When I was running towards Michael and Charlotte. "

"OK, " George said. He noticed that his mate was struggling to move his arm and grew more concerned.

"I should get you to a hospital, " Said George.

"No!" He yelled.

George looked at him, the guy acted as a Doctor seven days a week and would relocate his patients broken bones but was refusing to get checked out, but what he didn't know was why.

"What's up?" He asked.

Richard was reluctant to tell him.

"Tell me, " George pressed.

Richard looked at his friend as he closed his eyes, relieving something that was obviously painful for him.

Richard's Flashback.

Richard was in his grandparents, garden with his brother, while his parents were out, they both worked as doctors therefore Richard and his brother were often left in the care of their grandparents but both boys didn't mind, they enjoyed spending time with their grandparents. Richard's brother, Thomas was on the swing while Richard was pushing him, but he lost concentrate when his granddad called him in for lunch, the swing lunched back, hitting him in the face, He fell to the floor, hearing a snap.

His brother rushed over to him. "Are you ok, Richard?" He asked.

The 14 year old let out a scream, it was painful, he'd never broke anything before.

The boys granddad come out, saw that his grandson's arm was at a odd angle and that he was crying with the pain.

His granddad picked him up in his arms and carried him to his car, putting him inside and strapping him in with the belt.

The doctor come and seen him while Thomas explained what happened.

A cast was applied to his arm and he got a sticker from the doctor for being brave.

Their granddad took them to McDonalds for them both being brave: Thomas, for helping his brother, Richard for being brave.

End of Richard's flashback.

"So, you see, " He sighed, when he'd finished.

"We still need to go, " Said George.

Deep down, Richard knew George was right, otherwise the elbow could become infected. He nodded at him and get off the couch.

The drive to the hospital was in silence, and soon the boys were there, George helping his friend out of the car and in to the hospital, locking the car doors.

"I need help, " Said George.

A nurse, named Gillian, come over with a wheelchair and helped

"Date of birth?" The receptionist asked.

A doctor come out, walked over to the Nurses Station and picked up a file.

"Richard Winsor, please "

Upon hearing the doctor call Richard's name, George stood up, but Richard stayed sitting down.

"Richard, come on, " Said George.

"I can't. "

"You need to. "

"George, I said, I can't. "

Out of the corner of his eye, George saw the doctor look at his watch, he obviously had other patients.

"Richard, please. "

George was relieved when Richard finally stood up and walked with him towards the doctor. They walked through a set of double doors where there was cubicles. The doctor walked in to an empty cubicle.

Richard took a seat on the bed.

"What happened?"

"I was working and I fell. "

"On ice. " George added.

The doctor nodded, while examining the arm. "I'll organise an x - ray, "

After the x- ray which confirmed the wrist was indeed fractured, he was informed that he'd be sent up to the plaster room to have a cast put on to help the bones heal in his arm. The doctor took them up to the plaster room. Richard again sat on the bed, while George rested a hand on his shoulder in support.

"George. " Richard whined.

"It's ok, mate. "

"But it'll hurt. "

"It won't. "

While, they were talking, Richard hadn't noticed that the doctor was finished. Until, he said. "All, done. "

The doctor gave him advice.

"Keep it dry"

George nodded, shaking the doctors hand, thanking him for his time as they began the drive home

The boys decided to watch a movie and then ate rubbish. Once the movie was over, Richard headed to his room.

Richard's chest felt tight, he was having a panic attack, he tried to call his mates name.

A few weeks later, it was time for the cast to be removed and George drove him back to the hospital.

"How about we pick up a take away?" George asked after they'd been seen and were on their way home.

"Yep, " Said Richard.

George nodded. "Chinese or chai?"

"Chinese " Richard said, it was his favourite food, although George found it a bit spicy.

Tucking in to the Chinese food, with chop sticks were a tricky thing to use.

"I have an idea. " Said George.

"What?" Richard said, with a mouth full of food.

George pulled a mock face as they finished up their food and then told him his idea that he'd had.

"We should take a selfie" George knew that Richard enjoyed posing for pictures and signing autographs for fans.

Richard agreed.

George held the camera as they both made a funny face, well, George made the face, Richard pouted. He saved the picture and then downloaded it to his Facebook page and soon he was flooded with comments from their colleagues.

Mike Stevenson- Nice one lads.

Crystal Yu: :P

George turned his screen to Richard so he could see the comments as well

George kissed his friends head. "People will think we are gay," Richard said. George knew that he meant it as a joke, between them, Richard preffered to crack jokes.

Richard decided to go for a lie down, drained.

George headed in to the kitchen and got some paracetamol and a glass of water and took them through to his room.

"Here you go, Rich" George said as he put the glass down on his bedside table.

"Thanks mate" Richard said, grateful that George hadn't run a mile like his character would of when he was in trouble or late for Amanda Mealings, Clinical Lead, Character, Connie.

Richard looked pale as George looked at him concerned wondering what was going on and it was a shock as Richard vomited all over his bed duvet, but luckily George had a spare room in the bathroom. He quickly changed the duvets over, putting the dirty one in the laundry basket, he'd do it in the morning. He was getting tired himself, he was thankful that neither of them were working. Richard couldn't really work with a broken arm

When Richard and George returned to work,

To his surprise, Amanda Henderson presented him with a "Get Well Soon, " card, which had been sighed by his cast mates.

"Thanks guys, " Said Richard, he put the card in his bag, ready to take it home at the end of the day, luck he had easy scenes today, he was in cubicles with George, they were treating a young boy who had fallen off his bike. He had grazed his knee and had a small bump.

"Doctor Knight here, is a silly man, " George said as Ethan, in the hope of making their patient feel safe.

"Thank you for that Doctor, Hardy, " Richard, as Cal, replied, as he pulled faces at the boy making him laugh. Soon, the boy was discharged as he turned to the on - screen brothers.

"I want to be a doctor.

The boys smiled as they headed back home.


Thanks for reading. Sorry, this has taken a while to get up, I've just had no motivation.

Next chapter: Connie is involved in the helicopter crash, like her daughter Grace was. Who will be around to support her? Based on the events of the helicopter crash, series 32. Prompted by Guest. I will be using most of the dialogue from the episode, but will credit the episode. It'll take a while though. I've made some notes which I will use.
