Connie had just exited her office after making herself look less like she'd been crying, when Cal came storming round the corner, his eyes blazing with anger and tears. He spotted his boss and walked straight towards her.

"How could you let this happen?!" He shouted, walking right up to her so his face was inches from hers. She took a step back.

"Cal, calm down." Connie said as professionally as she could without her voice wavering from fear. She'd heard the stories floating around her staff- she knew what he was cape able of. Cal stepped towards her again, hot, angry tears now falling down his cheeks.

"Don't you dare tell me to calm down! I have just lost my only brother because of YOU." He hissed, jabbing his finger into her chest. She leaned back.

"Cal please move away from me."

"No. You killed him, you killed Ethan! You deserve every rotten thing you get."

"Dr Knight! Move away from her!" Tess said angrily as she found the two by the nurses station.

He turned to face her. "It's her fault he's gone." He shouted angrily, wiping away his tears. "If it wasn't for her stupid little outing, he'd still be here."

"Cal don't blame Dr Beauchamp, please. Blame me if you must, I was there when he died, it was my fault- I didn't do enough for him." Tess said quickly, tears starting to form in her eyes too as she started to believe what she was saying.

Connie all the while edged slowly round the nurses desk whilst he was shouting, and moved to where he could see her.

"Cal, please. There is nobody to blame for this, it was no-ones fault. Tess couldn't have done anything more for him if she tried so don't believe a word she is saying." Connie said calmly, looking to her side at the sister.

Cal ran his hands through his hair, trying to breathe normally. He glanced down the corridor where his brother lie cold and covered in blood, in the middle of resus.

"My brother. Is dead. My little brother, who I promised my mum I'd look after, is gone. I've broken that promise, because of you!" His face became angrily red again. "And nothing is going to change that."

"Dr Knight, I ap-" The clinical lead began before he cut her off.

"You what? You apologise? Hah, fat lot of use that is. What's your apology going to do, eh? Bring him back?" He laughed, his face delirious. Many patients and nurses were now watching the shouting match going on in the middle of cubicles in total silence.

"No but I thought it might help a little." She said, her voice beginning to shake when he started to move towards her. Tess moved infront of him quickly.

"Cal, no or I shall have to call sec- argh!" She said before he shiver her out of the way. Making his way to Connie, he spoke again.

"God, I can't believe I once fancied you, Connie Beauchamp. You have destroyed my life, and not in the way I once wanted." He said through gritted teeth, and before anyone could stop him, he slapped her around the face. Connie staggered back in total shock, feeling her cheek sting where his fingers had made contact with her. All of a sudden, she was filled with rage.

"Callum Knight, you exit this Emergency Department right now otherwise security will be called." Connie shouted at the top of her voice. Cal stalked straight by her, shoulder barging her as he went.

"AND DONT COME BACK." She screamed after him.

Tess came over and put her arm around her before Connie shrugged it off.

"I don't need your sympathy." She said bitterly before walking straight to her office, locking the door and closing the blinds. There, she sat at her desk and cried once again, for the second time that day. She felt a little bad about her actions- shouting at Cal who'd just lost his brother, and snapping at Tess who was only trying to help.

She'd apologise the next day, she thought as she buried her head in her hands. It had been too much of an emotional day. What she needed was a large glass of red, an early night, and a new job.
