Clara had been on the ward in the hospital now for over a week now and was starting to get super bored and tired of the same 4 walls. Yes Cam had visited her everyday, but she just wanted to get home. Then the idea came to her, she'll escape say to the nurses/doctors she encounters that she's going for a bit of fresh air and bam off she goes back home.
She packs her little backpack, grabs her crutches and heads to the door where she meets her first hurdle.
"Cam? Is everything okay?"
"Yeah, everything's fine was just coming to visit you before my shift doesn't start until 3, where do you think you're going? You need to stay in bed to rest come on even you know that, and if I let you out of my sight Iain will kill me!"
"Please Cam, let me just got outside for some fresh air on my own"
"I'll take you down there and then I'll come back in to start my shift? How about that"
"Fine" she gets a little stroppy with him and gets into the wheelchair he brings her.
"Good now let's get you outside"
They get outside, she also made sure she brought her crutches she told Cam just in case she wants to get up! But little did he know she had other plans.
"Right no further than the bench over there, and I'll be back in about 10 minutes to bring you back okay?"
She nods watching him walk away, grabs her crutches and start hopping towards the pub. Gets there and buys herself a double pink gin and lemonade drowns her sorrows in the stuff after 4 glasses she starts to feel dizzy. She gets up to leave, but collapses in the process and starts seizing.
Cam heads back outside once he's ready for his shift, to grab Clara but she's gone. He starts to panic and runs back inside to see Iain.
"You alright mate, you look a little flustered Clara will be alright you know!" Iain smiles
"That's the problem, I took her out for some fresh air I said she could only go to the bench whilst I got into my scrubs, she's gone? I don't know where she is Iain, i-I'm so sorry"
Iain takes a deep breath
"I'm staying calm right now, but you and me lad will be having a chat once we find her"
Jodie comes running out
"I heard, Iain don't speak to him like that? He's scared alright, he tried but if you were that worried you should have kept an eye on her yourself then should you!"
"Jodie, I'm not in the mood right now we just need to find Clara safe and sound" Iain stated
They all looked over to the chaos coming from the pub nearby, someone shouting
"CAN WE GET SOME HELP IN HERE, IT'S A YOUNG GIRL SHE'S SEIZING"
All three of them run, Iain grabbing his kit from the Ambo on the way. They all run in seeing Clara in the recovery position having a seizure. Iain spots the 4 gin glasses on the table.
"Clara love stay with me please come on" Iain says with shakey breath
As Iain pushed the drugs into her system, she stops seizing and starts to come round.
Jodie grips onto Cam's shoulder.
"She'll be okay you know, with your company she'll be just fine"
"That's even if Iain lets me see her again, I doubt he will after the mess I just got her into"
"Cam, shut it okay! Iain can see she likes ya so I don't see why he wouldn't!"
He bites his lip nervously as he sees the new love of his life start to wake up
Iain comes up to Cam whilst Jodie sorts Clara out with the hospital team.
"Me and you lad, outside now!"
Cam nods following him outside and round the corner, probably so no one hears Iain ripping into him
"WHAT ON EARTH WERE YOU THINKING? I TRUSTED YOU AND NOW LOOK AT THE STATE OF HER? YOU STAY AWAY FROM HER OKAY?"
"I-I'm sorry Iain, really I am she really wanted to be alone and I thought 10 minutes would be fine"
"AND THOSE 10 MINUTES COULD HAVE COSTED HER, HER LIFE"
Cam bites the skin around his nails nervously
"Again I'm really sorry, I like your sister a lot and I never meant for any of this to happen, I never meant to hurt her"
"Well you did pal, now if I see you anywhere near her again it won't just be a friendly chat, it'll be a lot more than that and you'll be in the hospital bed fighting for your life, not her"
Jodie overhears the conversation
"Iain, come on now that was a little harsh he was only trying to help he didn't mean any harm"
"NO JODIE BUT MY SISTER IS CURRENTLY IN RESUS KINDA FIGHTING FOR HER LIFE AND IT'S ALL HIS FAULT"
Iain points at Cam.
Cam looks down as he doesn't know where else to look as he feels in a very awkward place.
Jodie leads Cam back to the hospital to calm him down after his talk with Iain.
Clara wakes up alone in resus with her head feeling a little fuzzy as to what had happened, her brother Iain walked through the door with a not so happy look on his face.
"Clara this is all that Cam's fault isn't it, I've given him a major talking to and banned him from seeing you this could've ended a hell of a lot worse"
"Iain no! I-it wasn't Cam's fault, it was mine I asked him to take me outside for some fresh air and planned on making him leave me out there so I could escape. Please go and apologise to him, he didn't do anything it was all me! Honest Iain, I really like him and I think he really likes me. We'll probably didn't until you scared him off with your big mouth" She rolls her eyes
"Look. I'm only trying to protect you, that's what big brothers are for and I thought he was the bad guy but clearly I was wrong, I'm sorry Clare bear I really am"
Iain hugs his sister before making a move out of resus into the staff room where he finds Cam sitting with Jodie chatting about Clara.
"Cam mate, can I have a word? Alone please?" Making it clear for Jodie to leave the room.
"I'll be right outside Cam if he gives you any nonsense shout and I'll beat him up" Iain laughs at her
"Yeah as if!" Iain laughs again.
"Look mate I've spoken to Clara and she's told me that it's all her fault and it had nothing to do with you. So this time I'm letting you off the hook and you can go see he if you like, she fancies the crap out of you mate she just told me!" Cam smiles
"Wait really? She fancies me? No one's ever said that about me before"
"You better get in there before I change my mind mate!"
Cam runs past Jodie and into resus to see Clara laying there looking pretty sorry for herself.
