The alarm blared- it was 6:30 and time to get up. Ethan rolled over and turned off the alarm, ready to go back to sleep- then he remembered the sleeping girl downstairs. Despite his best efforts Cal had got there first and was stood in the doorway watching Rosie sleep. Cal turned and faced Ethan with a questioning look.

'Did you-'

Cal was cut off by Ethan

'No! Yesterday we attended a fatal RTC lorry versus motorbike, she was in such a state that I asked Connie to let her go home, we had less than an hour less anyway, and she let us both leave. I took her home and gave her a note saying that she could talk to me anytime and I left our address and my mobile number. She was at the doorstep around 3 this morning. She was a mess and completely wrecked by the accident. After she calmed down she fell asleep I top of me and I wasn't going to kick her out- it's freezing!'

Cal raised an eyebrow at his brother- since when was he desirable as a councillor? Cal was about to make a comment but was interrupted by Rosie who woke up with a start. Ethan rushed to her side

'Rosie- it's okay you're at my flat. Remember you came here early this morning?'

Rosie looked embarrassed

'Yeah- sorry about that...'

'It doesn't matter- he's a night owl anyway this one'

Rosie and Ethan turned around to look at Cal

'What the hell is he doing here?!'

'Ohh...erm...right- well Dr Caleb Knight is my brother and we share an apartment.'

Rosie turned back to face Ethan

'You have a brother?!'

'Yup- and that's him' Ethan replied reluctantly.

Rosie seemed even more embarrassed as she looked at the clock,

'Oh no- I'm going to be late! I have to get home and get changed and...and...'

Ethan turned to Cal

'Can you give us a minute?'

Cal sighed before grudging off to the kitchen to make himself breakfast.

'Right- Rosie, nothing's happened- you just fell asleep on my couch and I didn't want you to be woken. You were finally calm. And anyway I'll drop you off at your apartment now, unless you want some breakfast.'

Rosie tried to read his face but failed to spot any signs that he was lying- he was one of the first genuine gentlemen he had ever met.

'No, thanks for the offer though.'

'Anytime!'

Rosie left the front room to grab her coat and shoes, after a short pause Ethan followed her and put on his shoes, when he was about to leave the flat he remembered that he was still wearing his pyjamas so quickly turned around and grabbed his coat.

Ethan dropped Rosie back at her apartment and started the journey back home. It wasn't far to go but it felt like forever- Ethan didn't want to hear Cal's remarks or sarcastic comments, sometimes he wished his brother just didn't exist, that he would disappear and leave him to get on with his life, but Ethan knew that he owed Cal his life and that was pretty hard to argue with.

Ethan snuck into the flat, and then crept up to his room, desperately trying to avoid Caleb. He opened his bedroom door and breathed a sigh of relief, but then he saw Cal sitting on his bed, waiting for Ethan.

'Why was she here?'

'What?!'

'Rosie- you're F2- why was she here?'

'She was upset about something that happened at work yesterday and came here because she needed to talk to someone and I said that she could talk to me. She got here at like 3am- I wasn't going to leave her outside Caleb.'

'Fine, but what would anyone want to talk to you about?'

'Like I said- something that happened at work.'

Ethan was getting increasingly annoyed and time was moving on fast- neither brother was dressed and Ethan still hadn't had any breakfast.

'Well-' Cal began talking again but was cut off by Ethan.

'Get out- now.' Ethan was annoyed and too tired to put up with the annoying antics of his brother.

After a hard look at Ethan Cal walked out. Leaving Ethan to get dressed.

The two brothers didn't talk for the whole day. They took their separate cars and made extra effort to avoid coordinating their breaks. Connie was in a meeting with Guy upstairs but Zoe noticed their strange behaviour,

'Boys- a word please,'

The brothers turned around simultaneously and walked towards Zoe, who was stood in the middle of them, both doctors avoiding eye contact with the other, their F2 mentees watched on and waited for a fight- Rosie knew why the brothers were annoyed but George had no idea of Rosie's late night visit or that the mentors were even related.

'What the hell is going on between you?'

'Nothing'

The boys answered together before glaring at each other and turning away.

'I haven't finished- you have an important job to do and you're also supposed to be mentoring and supporting your F2s. Pull yourselves together and sort out whatever happened between you.'

'Fine.'

'Dr Knight and Dr Jackson you will stay in cubicles but Dr Hardy and Dr March you're with me in resus- incoming RTC with multiple casualties.'

There was silence

'Okay?'

'Fine.'

Caleb was fed up- he hadn't had an interesting case in days, he couldn't take his F2 into resus because Tess and Connie had concerns with his capabilities, he couldn't attend incidents because his F2 was incompetent. Currently Cal hated George.

Meanwhile, in resus, the first of the RTC casualties had arrived- a young boy had been cycling alone when a drunk driver hit him. The mother was hysterical but the young boy was surprisingly calm. After a long look at Rosie Ethan let her take the lead on his case. Zoe was in charge of the drunken driver's case who had passed out inside the car. After hitting the young boy the drunken driver passed out and ran into a large number of parked cars. He was currently unconscious but Zoe was dreading when he came round- some drunks were jolly but others became violent and aggressive.

Ethan was observing Rosie, until he took the hysterical mother to the relative's room and then he left Robyn and Tess to be help in an emergency if Ethan was too far away and Zoe wasn't in the room. Ethan and the young boy's mother sat in the relative's room in silence. Until she said gently,

'You can leave now- I think I'll be okay.'

Ethan offered her a small, reassuring smile

'We'll let you know if something changes.'

And with that he left the relative's room and walked back into resus.

It was all too much, the room started spinning, muffled sounds surrounded him and the lights were too bright, blinding him. Then he was on the floor, unconscious.

Rosie rushed over to Ethan- Zoe's patient had been moved to cubicles but the young boy, called Eric, had crashed. A small needle was placed into his chest to relieve the pressure around his heart- the procedure was carried out by Zoe and observed by Rosie. However for Ethan it brought back painful memories- the crash, Jeff's death, it was the same procedure that Cal had carried out on him. Rosie, Lofty and Max lifted him onto the bed next to them. By the looks of things he had just fainted but the regular tests were all carried out just in case. After a couple of minutes of unconsciousness Ethan came round to be greeted by faces starring into his.

'What happened?'

Ethan attempted to sit up, but regretted it as his already blurred vision worsened and he felt dizzy.

'You just fainted- when was the last time you had something to eat or drink?'

Lofty offered Ethan his glasses so that he could actually see what was going on, after smiling in gratitude he answered his mentee's question

'I had a hot chocolate at about 3 am' the reply was reluctant, and everyone knew why he had fainted- it was 3 in the afternoon. In all the anger of the morning he had skipped breakfast to avoid Caleb and simply hadn't had time to grab any lunch. When he had a break he spent it trying to avoid Caleb and one thing Cal loved was food- so he had steered well clear of the cafe.

'Right- Rosie take Ethan and get some food in him. I'll talk to Connie and see if you can get the afternoon off. I'll see you later mate.' Ethan smiled as Lofty walked off to find Connie.

'Lunch then?' Rosie smiled as she helped Ethan off the bed. The two of them walked to the staffroom via Honey and sat down with two hot drinks, a sandwich and two muffins.

'Eat up.'

Ethan drove home early and went straight to bed- he was shattered and still didn't feel great. Cal walked in later, waking Ethan, but the was quiet enough that Ethan fell asleep again. Caleb walked into Ethan's room and watched him sleep- the last time he had done that was when he was in his hospital room after the crash. Cal wiped the tears from his eyes and went back to his own room where he too fell asleep.
