Charlie remained by Cal's beside hoping Ethan would be there to see his brother. Ethan however, had not been in. Worried about the state of mine Ethan was in, Charlie left the room and went off to find him. On his way past reception Charlie asked Noel if Ethan had walked by. Noel shook his head and said he hadn't seen him. Robyn had and told Charlie that he had go into the staff toilets. But, that was about 15 minutes ago. Sensing something was wrong Charlie walked over to the toilet door and tried the handle. The door wouldn't budge.

"Ethan, it's Charlie. Could you let me in?" Charlie shouted through the door as he knocked.

No answer. Charlie tried banging again.

"Ethan?"

Charlie tried the handle once more. No, the door was locked from the inside. Removing a coin from his pocket he tried to unlock the door. He heard a click and pushed the door open.

"Ethan! What have you done?" Charlie called out as he rushed over to his side.

Charlie shouted for assistance while he tried to stop the blood that was dripping down from Ethan's wrists. Out of the corner of his eye, Charlie caught a glance of the scalpel. He pocketed it just as Elle and Robyn came in. For a moment the two of them couldn't move. Not when they saw who it was and what had happened. Breaking out from her trance, Elle took action. With the help from Max they managed to put Ethan on a trolley.

"Move!" Elle shouted as they rolled past the faces of shocked colleagues.

"How long has he been like this?" Elle asked.

"I would say about 15 minutes. I don't know." Charlie told her as he wrapped bandages around Ethan's wrists.

"Right, I want 1 unit of blood and I think someone should sit with Cal." Elle said.

"I'll go." Robyn offered.

Elle nodded as Robyn departed.

"Why would he do this?" Elle whispered to Charlie.

Charlie shook his head.

Robyn sat beside Cal, listening to the beeps of the monitors. She wiped away the tears in her eyes. She couldn't believe how the day had turned out. Not only was one of her friends fighting for his life but, now another one was too.

"Cal, I'm not sure if you can here me, but, there's something I need to tell you." Robyn said as she held his hand. "It's about Ethan."

As soon as Robyn said his name, she felt Cal squeeze her hand. It was as if he had responded to her voice when she had mentioned his brother. Robyn looked down at where her hand was and saw movement in Cal's hand. Looking back up she noticed Cal's eyes begin to flicker open. Robyn stood up and pushed the chair back.

"Cal, squeeze my hand if you can hear me." Robyn ordered.

She felt a squeeze. Cal was responding. Slowly but, surely Cal's eyes were soon fully open. With some struggle Cal managed to pull the oxygen mask away from his mouth.

"Where's Ethan?" Cal asked hoarsely. "Where's my brother?"

When Robyn didn't answer immediately, Cal knew something was wrong. Why else would there be a pause before Robyn answered? Cal slowly turned his head so he was facing her.

"Robyn, where's Ethan?" He asked again, this time more firmly.

Robyn glanced towards the floor, not daring to look Cal in the eyes. Cal saw that she was avoiding eye contact with him.

"Robyn?" Cal urged her again. "What's happened?"

Robyn looked up and faced Cal. She swallowed nervously before answering.

"Ethan's been taken to Resus."

"Wait? What?"

"Charlie found him. He um, was bleeding." Robyn replied.

"Bleeding?" Cal asked, worry written over his face. "Where? How?"

"From his wrists."

Cal looked at her confused. He wondered how Ethan would have hurt his wrists. He was about to ask Robyn to tell him how Ethan had injured himself when it suddenly dawned on me how Ethan could have done it. He began to shake his head.

"No, he couldn't have." Cal said.

Turning to face Robyn, Cal looked her in the eyes.

"Robyn, I don't want you to lie to me. I want to know. Did Ethan try to kill himself?"

Of course, Robyn didn't want to lie to him. He was her friend and so was Ethan. However, Cal had been through enough. He had already watched his brother attempt to commit suicide once with drastic consequences. But, finding out that Ethan had tried again and this time managed to hurt himself would be too much. Cal needed no more stress if he was going to recover from his own injuries. Knowing Ethan had cut his wrists would only hinder his recovery process. Then again Robyn could not tell him. After all Cal had asked her and she had the right to tell him the truth. Cal could tell that she was conflicted. Grabbing her hand again, Cal made her look at him. It was then that he saw the tears in her eyes. The machines began to beep faster. Robyn looked towards the machines. Cal's heart rate was increasing and his BP was up. Calmly, Robyn placed the oxygen mask back over his face.

"Cal, try and stay calm for me. Take deep breaths." Robyn soothed. "That's it."

But, Cal didn't want to stay calm. He wanted to be with his brother.
