The Secret Life Of Casualty
Chapter 166.
Ethan was lying in bed, his laptop open, when Cal came in to say goodnight.
"What you doing, Ethan?" Cal asked curiously.
"Reading up on Huntington's "
Cal sighed, rubbing a hand over his face, "Eth, you know what it's like, we both watched mum suffer"
"It never hurts to be prepared Cal" Ethan snapped back.
"I know, but you've got work tomorrow" Cal moved the laptop out of his reach and placed it on the side table. He headed out of Ethan's room, in to his own and got in to bed.
"Cal?" Zoe called him over, when she spotted the doctor, the next morning, he walked over. "Is Ethan alright? He seems distracted "
"He was up last researching Huntingsons " Cal told her. He didn't want to, but he also didn't want to carry this burden on his own anymore, it was too hard, he knew that Ethan would be angry but Cal needed support as well.
Zoe put a hand on his shoulder in support. "Cal, I can't imagine what your going through "
"I'll cope, " Cal said, he had too. He was Ethan's big brother, it was his job to protect him from any bad things in the world, but he also knew that he couldn't protect him from everything and he hated it.
Just something random that I wrote in the early hours of this morning.
