I remember in Will's first episode, that it was mentioned that he and Ethan were uni friends and during tonights epsiode, I found myself wondering if Will knew that Cal was dead and I had to try to write something. Contains no spoilers from tonights epsiode.


The Secret Life Of Casualty.

Chapter 430.

During a long and tiring day, Ethan and Will were both glad to be heading home from the ED.

"Pub?" Will asked, spotting his old mate in the car park.

"OK" Smiled, Ethan as the two friends crossed the road and headed in to the Hope and anchor.

"I'll get these, " Said Will, getting his wallet out of his jeans pocket.

"Thanks Will, " Replied Ethan as he went to find them a table. He found one, took off his coat, put it on the back of the chair and sat down.

"Here we go, " Said Will, returning with two pints and putting one in front of Ethan.

Ethan took a sip as he watched Will sit down and take a sip of his own drink.

"How's Cal?" Will suddenly asked and for a moment or two, Ethan felt like the wind had been knocked out of him.

"Er, " He stuttered, staring down in to his glass, feeling his eyes, becoming misty with tears at the mention of his dead big brother.

"Mate?" Will prompted him.

"Cal's dead, Will. "Ethan eventually said, feeling choked up, it had been two years since his brothers passing and even though, he had come to terms with it, it still hurt.

"Mate, I'm sorry, " Will apologised.

"He was stabbed. A relative of a patient, who I was treating, died, and the son wanted revenge. He was after me, but Cal took a knife for me, " Ethan told his friend.

"That's rough, mate"

"I was sat in this pub, while my brother was being stabbed, " Ethan said, suddenly slamming his glass down, almost shattering it. "You know the worst part?" He added. Will shook his head. "I wasn't with him"

"I'm sure he wasn't in any pain" Will said.

"Ever been stabbed?" Ethan asked, to which Will shook his head.

"Then you wouldn't know" He finished.

Will stared, deep in thought as Ethan left the pub.


Please let me know what you think as it is the first time that I have written Will, so I don't know if he is exactly in character, but I do like how I have written him.
