Hi all! Just a quick chapter as I've got work and need to get ready. Hope you all are surviving your first week back at school. I'm going back to college on Monday to continue my studies for the police woo! Which is kind of where I got the idea from for Cal here.
Ethan stared at his brother with wide eyes completely spaced out. Cal looked at him confused.
"Ethan?" No response from his little brother. Cal waved a hand in front of Ethan's face. "Ethan?" Ethan left his thoughts.
"The police? Why?" Ethan stammered.
"Come on Ethan, you know me. I like to live life in the fast lane. Here: everything is just so slow." Cal stated. Ethan rubbed his eyes, groaning in frustration.
"But Cal, this isn't like the films. This isn't like The Bill or Blue Bloods. It's more serious than that, you could actually lose you life and no one will be there to shout "cut!" At the end." Ethan dreaded.
"I know Ethan, but maybe I'll be more happy. I don't get scared easily like you do." Cal frowned. Ethan scoffed, slightly offended.
"What about Christian? He loves the idea of his father being a doctor." Ethan scowled.
"I'm sure he'll love the idea of the police. Look Ethan you're worrying for nothing. Loads of officers are in the force for a long time and nothing bad happens too them." Cal tried to assure his worried brother.
"Not all officers are so lucky though Cal." Ethan whispered. "There are horrible people out there."
"Ethan, I'm tough, you know I am."
"It's not about physical fitness Cal. It's about being able to work under pressure. More pressure than here, longer hours and obviously dealing with dangerous situations." Ethan was trying his best get Cal to shake off this idea.
"No time wasters..." Cal glared.
"You would be surprised how many people called the police just because their cat had run away." Ethan spoke, raising his eyebrow. Cal chuckled lightly. First time Ethan had seen him smile in ages.
"But majority of the time, there are no time wasters. People come into this ED everyday with a splinter. In the police time wasters would only be at least twice a month." Cal smiled a little at the thought. Ethan sighed. He really wasn't getting through to Cal.
"I think this is a bad idea Cal." Ethan ran a hand through his hair.
"I'll be fine Ethan." Cal spoke as he grabbed Ethan's hand resting on the bed rail.
"At least think about it Cal. Pros and cons." Ethan suggested. Cal nodded in agreement.
"I can't exactly apply now can I?" Cal jokingly asked as he hand gestured to him laying in a hospital bed. Both the brothers chuckled.
"I'm glad you're a little happier." Ethan smiled, he knew Cal felt happy because his thought of the police. "I'll come see you later." Ethan walked away, left resus and exhaled a large breathe.
"Is this really a good idea? Cal would be out there everyday. He seems to think this is all one big adrenaline rush." Ethan kept thinking over and over, sighed then walked to go find Zoe about being discharged.
Just a short and normal chapter here. I've started getting more ideas for future chapters, loads of drama too come! Stay tuned.
