Calum

"He's gone up for a head CT, I expect he might need surgery... he said you got hit too?"

"Oh... yeah. Not too bad,"

"Come and have a seat, let me take a look,"

"I am fine,"

"Did you hurt your head?" I said, "Hey, don't you pass out on me,"

I helped Ellen onto the bed and took my gloves off, getting her to follow my finger with her eyes.

"I think you have a concussion," I said, shining my torch in her eyes, "Can you lay back sweetie?"

Her hands were shaking, so I shut the curtains and sat down, logging into the computer.

"Can you tell me where it hurts?"

"My arm,"

"Okay, let me take a look,"

"Dr Hood, the police are here,"

"Can we wait a,"- "No,"

I huffed and let them in, tenderly looking at her arm which was severely bruised and most likely broken. Sympathetically, I smiled, and stayed by her side, parental emotions kicking in. No way would she be alone whilst being confronted by the police.

It appeared they had been walking to school together, high school sweethearts, when a car swerved round the corner and knocked them both down. She had helped him all the way here, which was pretty courageous, but the story shook her up and I kicked them out, only for the curtain to open again.

A tall, slim woman in workout clothes rushed in, her cheeks red and puffy

"Blake has gone into surgery, oh Ellen, sweetheart,"

"Judith," she sniffed, "This is his mum,"

"You need an x-ray, they will cast your arm up if it's broken. Bed rest, and stay hydrated... will you two be okay for now?"

"Yes. Thank you,"

"You are extremely brave, you got him here just in time, okay?"

"My son, did you see him?"

"I did, and he is in very capable hands. He was asking for you,"

"He was awake?" she gasped.

"In and out. He had 2 seizures, but we got it under control. There were injuries to his head, and his leg, but I am sure they are working very hard to help him, okay?"

"He's never had a seizure,"

"It is likely to be a symptom of his head injury, but we will know more soon. Are you staying with Ellen?" I asked.

"Is that okay?"

"That is more than okay. Someone will update you on Blake, I might even see you again later,"

I got Ellen some water and then went back to the waiting room and found Edmund again, taking them to a private exam room to see his scans.
