Calebs POV:
As i return to the relatives room i pull out my phone and stare at mums number. How do i tell her about Ethan. How do i tell her its my fault. As i press call i can feel my heart beating faster and faster. As i think about what to say i hear her pick up. I go numb. I've never been this scared before. I just want everything to be okay again.
Matildas POV:
I'm cleaning up the house when the phone begins to ring. Looking at the caller ID i see Calebs name. As i pick up i hear him down the phone but no answer.
"Caleb?" i hear him panic slightly at the sound of my voice as he answers to me.
"Whats going on? Shouldn't you be at work?" I ask him concerned and a little confused as to why he is calling me during work. neither him nor Ethan have done that before.
"Mum. You need to come to the ED now. Please i don't know what to do. I don't know how to cope." I hear panic clear in his voice while he tries to hold back the tears.
"Okay sweetie. Calm down. Deep breath and explain whats going on. I need to know whats happened in order to help." He takes a pause as he explains everything.
"Well i was outside on break with all the guys and Ethan came out. Me and Max were mucking around pushing each other but i lost my footing and fell into the road. As that happened a car sped in and Ethan grabbed me and pushed me back onto the pavement but he didn't get out in time. He got hit." I could hear him trying not to cry as he tells me all this. My heart sank at the thought of what has happened.
"I'm on the way Cal. I'll be 20 minutes." As i hang up i grab my bag and jacket and head off to the ED. I need to see my boys. I need to see they are okay.
