Well, it turns out I haven't completed my other chapter so I decided to write up Ethan and Cal's second counselling session.
ClBloom2: Thank you for the review.
Tracy's dream: Thank you for the review.
The Secret Life Of Casualty.
Chapter 148.
"Are you ready for this?" Asked Cal; it was the day of Ethan's second counselling session with Ben Harding and he hadn't said a word all morning and that worried Cal.
Ethan simply nodded, putting on his coat.
Cal desperately tried to get through to Ethan during their car ride, but the younger brother said nothing as he concentrated on driving and Cal put the radio on to help fill the silence, that the brothers found was descending over them.
Ethan pulled in to his regular parking space and turned off the engine before Cal spoke. "It'll be OK, Ethan "
Ethan simply nodded as he undid his seatbelt and opened the car door, striding across the road, and locking the doors. Cal hurried after him. Ethan pressed the button on the lift and waited for it to arrive, when they stepped in, looking at each other.
"Ah, Ethan " Ben greeted him, as he looked up.
"Hi Ben " Ethan replied quietly.
"I see you've brought Caleb along with you " Ben said.
"Yes, " Ethan said, as they both sat down on the chairs in front of Ben's desk.
As Ben had got Ethan's feelings on how he had felt about his diagnose at his first session, today he was going to get Cal's feelings.
"I feel guilty " Cal said, his thoughts drifting to Emile's last moments.
"Why is that?" Ben asked.
"Because Ethan didn't deserve this, no one does "
Ethan turned to his brother, they may fight, push each other around, but at the end of the day, they were still brothers. "Thank you, " Ethan whispered, grateful for his brothers words.
"Any time, Nibbles " Cal replied.
Ethan replied with a roll of his eyes. "Don't call me, Nibbles "
Cal grinned as the session come to an end and as they stood outside of the office, he said "Let's go and get drunk "
Ethan shook his head. "No, Cal, I just want to go home "
"Sure mate " They headed to the lifts again and Cal reached out to press the button.
Zoe was in the lift, she looked up as two figures joined her.
"Hey guys, how did the session with Ben go?" She asked.
The brothers looked at each other before Cal answered,
"It was good to talk "
Zoe nodded "Good "
As the doors, opened, the brothers stepped out and headed to the car, Ethan unlocked it and got in to the drivers seat.
The silence was deafening for Cal, but Ethan was quiet again.
Ethan reached for one of his DVD's and inserted it in to the machine, sitting up on the couch as Cal come back in, with two cans of larger, which he handed one to Ethan.
Ethan opened the can and took a swig, pulling a face, Call laughed as he dropped down beside him and pressed play on the remote as the two settled down to watch "The Game Of Thrones, " It was particularly Cal's favourite DVD but he would do anything to make Ethan happy.
Next chapter: Cal and Ricky are getting married.
