'Arhhh' Cal moans rubbing his head. The alcohol is till present in his system.' my head!'
As Cal slowly become more awake his throbbing head becomes more and more apparent.
'What did I drink last night?' Cal says to himself, thinking that he is in his bed, un aware that is truly not the cause. Still not aware of his surroundings Cal sits up right and bangs his head on something.
'Awo, Who put that there' Cal slurs as he reaches for it to remove whatever he hit his head on, but he can't, it just won't move. Then, Cal starts to notice something. He's not in his bed, nor his room, or their flat. He's somewhere else, but where? Cal just can't put his finger on it. Just as Cal decides to give up trying to remember and go back to sleep, he hears something faint, quiet. Something that in sound is quiet, but in heart is roaring.
'Caleb'
Cal instantly looks around him trying to find the location of his name, almost like someone flicked a switch. Suddenly all his pain went away. The sound of his name was the sound of his brother in pain!
'Ethan!' Cal shoats desperately looking around. Looking around he sees bricks, poles, gravel. Why is her here, what happened? Then like a torrent of water it all comes flooding back to him.
'ETHAN!' Cal yells, then silence. Complete and utter silence.
'Caleb' A faint whisper, but loud enough for Cal to know.
'I'm coming Ethan' Cal replies as he tries to find his way through the maze of scaffolding poles and various building materials. 'Just you hang on!'
Ethan tries to call out to Cal again, but he is too weak. Every breath he takes causes shooting pains to soar through his body. Every inch of his body is telling him just to go to sleep. But the doctor he is, he knows that may be a bad idea.
'ETHAN!' Cal shoats, this time very close to Ethan. Cal looking around catched a glimpse of a dark red liquid, blood.
'Oh no' Cal says as he follows the trail, to the source. Cal gulps. As a doctor he has seen lots of blood, especially as an ED doctor. But, nothing can prepare you for this.
'Ethan' Cal says, gently kneeling down beside him. He lifts Ethan glasses of him, which have smashed and wipes all the dirt of his face.
'I'm here'
Cal looks at Ethan body, covered in blood. And the blood, coming from the long metal pole, piece of scaffolding that has stabbed Ethan to the ground through his right side. Cal, in shock start to investigate, checking around where the pole is coming out of Ethan.
'It's gone in deep' Cal tells Ethan. Careful to keep Ethan as still as possible, Cal feels Ethan back, he feels something quite right. Bending down to try to have a look at it, the pole, that has piece Ethan has exitted his back, and pieced itself into the soft ground he lays on. Scared, frightened, Cal looks at Ethan pale white face,
'I'm so sorry' cal cries, 'It, it's gone through into the ground. Why didn't you call for help?'
With all his strength Ethan lifts his hand, revealing his phone, smashed and broken. Cal lifts it from Ethan hand. The screen completely gone, shattered. No life. Dropping it Cal starts searching for his, looking in all of his pockets, but, then he remembers.
'Crap!' Cal cries remembering he had left his in his locker at work.
Looking at Ethan Cal clearly see's that he is in pain. Not just pain, torture. Cal takes Ethan's hand, feeling how cold he is. It is a cold night. Cal looks at Ethan's watch, it's 4:30am.
'Have you been awake this whole time?' Cal asks
Ethan tries to answer, but his answer turns into a groan in pain.
'Shh, don't speak'
With that Cal decides to get help. He will have to climb out of the maze. But Leave Ethan, who has lost a lot of blood, and is trapped! Cal slowly stands up, careful not to bang anything. He give a piece of scaffolding a small nudge, to see how struddy the structure is. It moves with a small groan, then silence, but then the groan re-sounds, but this time loader. The whole structure moves, falling even more on top of them. The pole through Etham moves, Cause Ethan to cry out in pain! Cal has never heard such cries like that before. Ethan's wound has started to bleed again, the pole has moved, causing the wound to get worse, and they are trapped! Cal puts pressure on the wound to try stop the flow of blood. But it keeps coming and now he is covered in blood! He looks at Ethan, who is barely conscious, very pale and very cold.
'Ethan you still there, please give a sign!' Call cries.
Ethan, barely awake gives the smallest movement in his hand. But that was enough for Cal.
'I promise to get you out of here, I promise. Just stay with me, ok?'
But Ethan has no strength left. He can't fight it anymore. Cal watches tearfully as Ethan's eyes close over.
'No, please No!' Cal beggs. But there's nothing that he can do, except wait.
