It was Monday, Ethan's day off and Ethan hasn't seen Cal since their argument on Saturday. Ethan took Christian to school then went to the ED to see if Cal turned up for his shift. He searched around the ED but there was no sign of his brother till he spotted him in the staffroom, sitting at the table stirring a cup a tea resting his head on his knuckle. Ethan walked into the staffroom very unimpressed and stood in front of Cal..

"Christian's fine by the way..." Ethan spoke putting his hands on the table, looking down at Cal. Cal looked up at him.

"What?" Cal scrunched up his face. Ethan rolled his eyes with frustration.

"Christian? Your son? The one you screamed at for no reason the other night." Ethan scoffed.

"Oh...right..." Cal trailed off, turning his attention back too his tea.

"I'm getting sick of this Cal! You're behaving like a three year old! Throwing tantrums because you can't get your own way!" Ethan raised his voice. Cal looked back up at him with an angry expression.

"I'm not behaving like a toddler Ethan! You don't understand." Cal got up, walked past Ethan and went too leave the staffroom.

"What's there too understand? You taking your anger out on everyone because you couldn't get into the police? Too be honest with your attitude right now, I'm not surprised you didn't get in." Ethan spoke bitterly. Cal stopped walking, turned around and pinned Ethan against the lockers. Why was no one hearing the brothers argue?

"Don't talk to me like that. Don't you ever talk to me like that!" Cal screamed in Ethan's face.

"You know, Christian wished I was his dad the other day. I was trying too see why he would think that. But now I've found a reason." Ethan breathed quickly as his brother still had him restrained to the lockers. Ethan watched Cal's angry expression turn sad.

"You're lying!" Cal held back his tears.

"Am I?" Ethan asked softly. Cal loosened his grip on Ethan.

"I didn't mean too shout at him." Cal's voice broke. Ethan just stood there watching his brother feeling sorry for himself. "I don't know why I did it. I was frustrated."

"You made him cry Cal." Was Ethan trying to make Cal feel bad?

"I know!" Cal sat on the stool and put his head in his hands. Ethan still stood at the lockers looking at his depressed brother. "Where is he now?"

"He's at school. Remember? It's Monday." Ethan couldn't believe this, it's like Cal forgot he even had a son. Cal stood up.

"I need too see him. Apologise." Cal made his way too the staffroom door but Ethan stood in front of the doorway. "Get out of my way Ethan."

"You are not seeing him now." Ethan spoke calmly. Cal's frustration bubbled more.

"Why?" Cal groaned.

"Because he's in class and I don't think you are ready too be near him." Ethan spoke, still sounding calm.

"You are kidding me right? He's my son!" Cal placed his hands on Ethan's shoulders, gripping them tightly.

"And right now, you are scaring him." Ethan felt bad for saying that but Cal needed too hear it.

"No you're wrong." Cal shook Ethan's shoulders lightly. Ethan tried to hold back his tears but Cal couldn't hold back his, he let the tears roll down his face.

"You're depressed and angry Cal. You need help." Ethan sighed.

"No I need something to go right in my life!" Cal shouted. Ethan just looked at him, he doesn't know what too say to his emotional brother. Cal's phone started too ring. He sniffled then answered his phone.

"Hello? Yeah speaking...Really? Okay yes I will see you Monday. Thank you. Bye." Cal hung up then looked at Ethan. "I got in." Cal spoke quietly. "I got into the police!" Cal spoke louder, grabbing Ethan's shoulders with excitement. Ethan forced a fake smile. "I'm gonna go resign! Woo!" Cal pushed past Ethan.

Ethan watched him stroll away releasing a deep sigh.

Hope this was a good chapter. Chapter nine will be up sometime tonight : )
