My take on Ethan being worried about Alicia, after she's been raped.
bronny9: Thank you for the review, I'm glad you enjoyed it.
The Secret Life Of Casualty.
Chapter 355
Ethan's POV.
l'm worried about Alicia, she's just come in ED, looking distant and withdrawn. I wonder what is wrong. I shall have a word, I may not be clinical lead anymore, but I am her friend, despite what she did to me with the blog. I wait until we our both alone in the staff room. She's filling the kettle, asking if I want a coffee, I say no. She lifts the kettle, but I notice her hands are shaking.
"Alicia, are you ok?" I ask, putting a hand on her shoulder, but she moves, so the boiling water catches her hand, she hisses in pain, I run the cold tap and move her hand under it, before wrapping her hand in a towel. "What's going on?" I ask, hoping she'll open up to me. She looks at me.
Her eyes filling with unshed tears, she whispers, "I've been raped, Ethan.
I pull her in to a hug, kissing the top of her head. "It'll be alright, Alicia, I promise. "
She pulls out of the hug. "How?" She asks, quietly.
"The police will catch who did this, "
"Like they did with Cal's killer?" She retorts, before her eyes widen and she realises what she's said. "Ethan, I, " She finishes.
But I shake my head, she's upset. "It's ok, " I reply, before continuing. "Have you been examined?"
She shakes her own head then. "If you be examined, the police will have evidence "
"Who says, I want to report it?" She tells me, looking horrified. "Ethan, they won't believe me"
"Why?" I ask.
"I went home with him, " She whispers. "Took him back to mine, "
"Who Alicia?" I ask.
"Eddie" She whispers, just as the man himself comes in to the staff room.
Thanks for reading, I enjoyed writing this, please let me know what you thought of it.
