The Secret Life Of Casualty.

Chapter 163.

Ethan couldn't believe it, he had earache. He hadn't had earache since he was a child, and Matilda had taken time off from her job as a cleaner at Ethan's school to look after him.

"Ready, Nibbles?" Cal shouted up the stairs, he was for once, the first one ready.

Ethan groaned to himself, he loved his job, he loved helping people get better. "Ethan" He heard Cal call louder and he pulled the duvet off him and swung his legs over the side, they felt wobbly, all he wanted to do was fall back in to bed and try and sleep away his ear trouble.

"I'm coming Cal " He pleaded weakly as he stood up from the from bed and took a few wobbly

Cal, getting tired of waiting as he knew that Zoe would shout at him if he was late, one more time, walked up the stairs to see what was keeping his brother so long,

"What's up?" He asked, concern that he didn't usually show, seeping in to his voice.

Ethan looked at Cal, his voice tiny and pathetic, which Cal usually mocked him for it. "I've got earache "

"Poor, Nibbles " Cal mocked him while Ethan glared at him. Cal told him to call, him if he needed anything and then he went to off to work, covering for Ethan when Zoe asked where he was.

Soon, it was home time for Cal, but instead of going the pub with Max, Lofty and Jack, like he usually did, he refused, going to see how Ethan was, instead. He signed out of the ED, shoved his jacket on and headed out in to the car park, starting the walk to his and Ethan's flat. He got his key out of his pocket, inserted it in to the lock and twisted it, heading inside. He shut the door behind him and hung up his coat on the banister and walked in to the kitchen, making his brother a drink. Once, he'd made it, he took it upstairs, being careful not to spill any of it and nudged the door open with his shoulder.

"How are you feeling, Eth?" He asked, standing in the doorway, before walking in and setting the mug down.

"I'm fine " He told his brother.

Cal nodded his head and sat down beside him, handing him his mug as he took a sip, the warm liquid warming his throat. "Thanks Cal "

Cal looked through the DVD's that they kept by the TV and put one in, Ethan was stunned to see it was them at Matilda's side when she was dying.

Tears fell down the younger ones cheeks, he wiped them away before Cal could see them, he did but he simply slung an arm around him.

"What are the brothers for?" Cal asked.

"To annoy " Ethan replied.

Cal smirked.


Just something random I wrote while I was in bed last night. I know I said the Lofty and Dylan chapter was coming next, but I am not very confident on writing either of them yet, so I'm going to youtube some scenes over the weekend and attempt to write them. It should be the next chapter that this is going to be updated with.
