The ambulance began to slow down as it got on to the top of the beach. Ethan jumped out of the ambulance before it even had time to stop. The cold air from the beach hit him as he stood there in his scrubs. He started to wish he brought his coat out but he didn't care about that right now. He spun round and round, looking and looking. He jogged along the edge of the hill on the beach with Iain, Charlie and Jez following far behind him.
Ethan stopped as he noticed a black Audi stopped on a short pier with the engine still on. Ethan quickly ran down the hill and jogged over to the pier with Iain, Jez and Charlie standing on the hill.
Ethan ran up to the car and pulled the handle to find the door was locked. Ethan quickly tapped on the window repeatedly with the palm of his hand.
"Cal?" Ethan sounded muffled from Cal's side of the car. Cal didn't look at him. He kept looking ahead.
"Cal, please open the door." Ethan pleaded. Cal placed his finger on the central locking button and unlocked all the doors. Ethan quickly opened the door then sat in the car, closing the door.
The two brothers sat in silence for a while before Cal began to talk.
"How did you know where I was?" Cal asked, still looking ahead.
"I didn't need to know." Ethan sighed as he looked at Cal.
"This was mum's favourite place. It's all I could think about. I wanted to feel safe." Cal ran a tear down his face as he turned the car off. Much to Ethan's relief.
"What's wrong, Cal? Please tell me." Ethan asked.
"You'll think I'm stupid." Cal looked down.
"No I won't. What is it?" Ethan asked again.
"I've been hearing Dad's voice." Cal answered. Ethan sat there, he didn't know what to say.
"How do you mean?" Ethan asked.
"He wants me to join him." Cal answered sadly.
"No Cal. He doesn't." Ethan spoke honestly.
"He does, Ethan!" Cal raised his voice. Annoyed that Ethan didn't seem to believe him.
"Cal, you have to ignore him. He was a vile man." Ethan spoke as he went along with it. He had to believe Cal.
"I can't, it's so hard." Cal almost cried.
"Cal, how long have you been feeling like this?" Ethan asked.
"Few weeks, maybe a couple of months." Cal shrugged.
"And what has Dad been saying to you?" Ethan asked.
"That I'm a waste of space. Him and both our mum's are dead because of me." Cal explained.
"That's why you've been feeling down?" Ethan asked. Cal nodded.
"I'm sorry, Cal. You said you needed help and I ignored that." Ethan sighed sadly.
"Let's get you back to the hospital, okay?" Ethan asked. Cal hesitated.
"I'll be with you." Ethan smiled. Cal eventually looked at him and smiled back.
"I'll just go tell the others what we are going to do. Get out the car and I'll drive us back." Ethan smiled then got out the car.
"Drive forward. You know you want to." Cal and Ethan's dad's voice made an appearance.
"Be a man." Cal tried to ignore his father's voice but it was so hard.
"Cal, turn the car on now!" His father's voice grew louder. Cal did nothing, he covered his ears with his hands.
"Waste of space. Horrible. Evil. Useless. Turn on the car!" His evil voice ran through Cal's head. He turned on the engine.
As Ethan walked back to the others, he heard the car engine. He turned round to see it revving.
"CAL!" Ethan shouted then ran back to the car with Jez and Iain following him.
"Cal!" Ethan continued to shout as he stood in front of the car. "Don't listen to him, Cal!" Ethan shouted but could barely be heard by Cal because of the noise from the car and his father's loud words. Ethan had his hands on the warm bonnet.
"ETHAN!" Iain shouted as he ran towards Ethan and the car as Jez darted ahead of him.
"Drive, Cal!" Their father demanded.
"But, Ethan-" Cal cried but was interrupted.
"He'll move. Just drive! You'll never hear from me again if you drive forward." Their father demanded once more. Cal pressed harder on the gas pedal with the revs growing louder. Cal looked into Ethan's teary eyes as he still didn't move from the front of the car.
"Cal! Don't do it! Don't listen to him! Listen to me!" Ethan shouted. He believed Cal now he is seeing him suffer.
"Ethan doesn't need you. No one needs you. Drive. Forward. NOW!" Their father shouted over Ethan. Cal shut his eyes and placed his hand on the handbrake.
Jez quickly wrapped his arm around Ethan and pulled him to the side, out of the way as Cal threw the handbrake down. The car bolted towards the end of the pier. Ethan and everyone watched breathlessly as Jez still gripped on to him as the car drove off the pier and landed in the deep, cold water.
My apologises, this wasn't as dramatic as I hoped, unless I'm being modest or something hehe.
Will Cal survive? That's the more important thing.
See you all in the next chapter : )
