For some unexplained reason the next day seemed so happy. All the young doctors were happy, all of them working well together . There were no major incidents, no fatalities and George even made a correct diagnosis. This was too good to be true, but it was true, until it ended. The mood changed when George called a meeting in the staffroom at the end of the shift. Not everyone had met George- but even those who had met him still didn't really know him. He kept himself to himself and refused to socialise.

'Right...' He took a deep breath

'Hello everyone- I'm Dr George Jackson and I'm a F2. Well- I was an F2'

Confused mutters filled the staff room

'I quit.'

The confused mutters rose in volume.

'I never wanted to be a doctor in the first place. I don't like being a doctor. I'm not even a good doctor. So I quit.'

And with that he left the room, left the hospital and left Holby behind.

Rosie walked into her flat. It seemed quiet and empty. She had expected to find George alone in his room but when she pushed open the door she found it was empty. He had really left. Rosie didn't know what to do, she certainly didn't want to stay in her apartment- so she went to the only place that she could think of- to Ethan's apartment.

Rosie stood and waited outside Ethan's door. She knew he was home- she could hear the TV and his car was parked outside. She just couldn't bring herself to open the door. As an all to familiar face approached her she remembered something that she had momentarily forgotten. Caleb lived with Ethan.

'Hey beautiful'

'Not now Caleb'

'There's a really easy way of opening doors you know- by knocking- you should try it sometime.' Cal's voice was soaked in sarcasm

'Yeah- whatever. There's this thing called a Girlfriend- it means you're committed to just one girl.' Rosie had heard all about Cal's player ways from some of the young nurses and she too drowned her voice in sarcasm. Her comment made Cal blush- he had been beaten. He unlocked the door, walked in and yelled

'Ethan- Rosie's here!'

Cal turned back to look at her- she really was beautiful but her words were now spinning round his head, along with Lily's words for a couple of weeks ago. Cal was convinced he could change his ways- earning him Rosie's affection, and prove Lily wrong (that was always a bonus).

Ethan had emerged from the living room and was stood in the doorway watching Cal and Rosie. It was Rosie who first noticed he was there. She looked at him and burst into tears. Next thing she knew she was in Ethan's warm embrace and Cal had left.

'What's wrong?'

'He's gone!' Rosie's response was broken by her sobbing

'Who's gone?'

'G-G-George!' Rosie sobbed even louder.

Ethan was shocked- he hadn't heard George's message but had heard from Robyn what he said. No one had thought he was serious about leaving. He also hadn't realised how close the two F2s were. He knew that they shared a flat but very little else.

'He's left and taken everything with him. And- and I can't afford to rent the apartment by myself!'

Ethan pulled Rosie closer as she sobbed. Then it clicked.

'You can stay here with me!'

'What?' Now it was Rosie who was confused

'There are three bedrooms- I have one, Cal has one and there's one that currently just has some boxes of Cal's old stuff in. We can put Cal's stuff somewhere else and you can live in that room. Free of charge.'

Rosie was shocked by his display of generosity. She knew how kind, caring and reliable he was- everyone at the hospital had told her that- but now she really knew the extent of his kindness.

'Thank you, but I couldn't possibly.'

'Yes you can- and you will. You're like a sister to me- I don't want you to get hurt. It's safe here and I promise it's not a problem.'

'Maybe you should ask your flat mate.' No one had noticed that Cal had reappeared and was watching them.

'No- I don't think I should. This is my home and I can make decisions about it myself.'

'Thank you Ethan- you're the best.' Rosie smiled at Ethan, like a small child who had been given sweets by her big brother.

It took the three doctors nearly four hours to move all Rosie's things into Ethan's apartment. By the time they had finished it was past mid-night. All the doctors were now shattered and had to be in work in the morning. Rosie went to her new room and the brothers went to their rooms.

The three doctors walked into the staffroom the following morning only to be pulled away by Robyn to Connie's office.

'Good morning Dr Knight, Dr March and Dr Hardy.'

'Good morning Mrs Beauchump.' The three young doctors chorused their response.

'As you all know Dr George Jackson, our F2, left us yesterday, rather abruptly. There isn't a new F2 so Ethan you'll continue mentoring Rosie and Caleb you're no longer needed as a mentor.'

Connie's voice was harsh and even Cal was taken aback by her bluntness about him not being needed.

'Right- you can all go now.'

The young doctors left in shocked silence. The rest of the day passed in a blur.
