Just wanted to say a huge thank you to the people who are reviewing. Filling me with confidence and giving me valuable feedback. Here is a short filler as I'm not sure when I can next update due to being busy with Uni for a few days now.

Ethan had been taken back to the hospital and with the help of Connie a new drain had been put it although Ethan was now in a lot of pain and refusing any pain relief. He had been taken back to the high dependency cubicle where Cal sat in silence on the chair by his bed continuously monitoring him.

A few hours past and Ethan began to wake up, he blinked a few times before squeezing his eyes shut willing the pain to go away.

"Ethan?" Cal spoke but Ethan ignored him. "I'm getting you some morphine." He sighed and stood up which sparked a reaction from his younger brother.

"No. No pain relief. I mean it Cal." He spoke, his voice hoarse.

"Why not? Making yourself suffer won't bring Jeff back you know? It's not going to help anyone just make your recovery a hell of a lot harder." He told him annoyed at Ethan's stupidity.

"Just go away Cal." Ethan muttered. "I don't you here."

"Eth…" Cal began.

"No Cal. Please, just go." He then turned his head and closed his eyes attempting to fall back to sleep.

Cal shook his head and stormed out slamming the door behind him causing a few of the nurses to look. He ignored them and headed out of the hospital and to the pub across the road where the funeral group had gathered to drink to Jeff.

Once inside the pub Cal got himself a drink before making his way over to a table consisting of Max, Robyn, Lofty and Jamie.

"Hey, how's Ethan?" Robyn asked clearly concerned for him after seeing him in such a state at the funeral.

"Not great, he's refusing any pain relief. Making himself suffer." Cal sighed taking a big gulp from his glass.

"Why would he do that?" Lofty frowned.

"He blames himself for Jeff. Thinks because he was driving it was all his fault." Cal looked at him.

Jamie shook his head. "It was an accident. Even the police said so. No one expected the car to blow, otherwise the area would have been cleared long before hand."

"Try telling him that." Cal rolled his eyes clearly frustrated.

"I will do. I could talk to him?" Jamie suggested.

"You'd do that?" Cal looked at him.

Jamie nodded in response. "He's my uncle, I know what he is like. He wouldn't want anyone to live with guilt all their lives. I will go and see him in the morning before I leave…"

"Thanks mate" Cal smiled and Jamie nodded in response as he looked over at Robyn, who had been his rock all day, she gave a small sympathetic smile before taking a drink from her glass.
