Hi All! Going to sound like a broken record but thank you all so much for the reviews, follows and favourites. I'm forever grateful :D
I thought for my next story it should be a sequel to one I've already written so I decided to do a second part to "A New Diagnosis" my first fanfiction that I wrote. Hope it's good for you! : )
Clues are in the title so no surprises sadly or are there?
It had been two weeks since Ethan was diagnosed with diabetes. He had been handling it pretty well and was coping or so we thought.
Ethan woke up. He laid in bed for a few seconds to get some peace before his shift. He laid there one too many seconds. Ethan was laying in bed for 10 minutes without realising. He heard a knock at his door.
"Ethan, you awake? We're going to be late for work." Cal said as he stood outside Ethan's room.
"Yeah I'm awake, just getting dressed." Ethan lied before actually getting up.
Twenty minutes later Ethan walked out of his room, into the living room to see Cal drinking a coffee.
"You want one?" Cal asked while pointing to his mug.
"Uh no thank you." Ethan answered.
"How about some toast? Remember what Zoe said; you need to keep your blood sugar levels up."
"I'm not hungry, I'll get something at work."
"Okay. Did you at least take your insulin?"
"Yes Mum." Ethan joked.
"Oi, watch it Nibbles." Cal chuckled. "Come on let's go."
Ethan was having a bad start to the day, he was thrown up on twice, three people died on his watch and he had so much paperwork. He was sitting in the staffroom surrounded by folders. He was rubbing his temples as a headache was brought on, he got up and went to the sink to grab a glass of water and downed it in two seconds. He felt so warm, he was sweating.
Lily walked in and noticed Ethan's state.
"Ethan, what's wrong?" Ethan turned round to see Lily.
"Nothing. Just a headache."
"Come here." Ethan walked over to Lily, Lily touched Ethan's hands.
"Ethan your skin is very dry and warm." Lily noticed,
"It's just hot in here that's all, I need some air." Ethan said before walking past Lily and out the staffroom and ED. As Ethan got outside he felt his pulse increase rapidly as well as his breathing. He staggered over to the bench and collapsed in it trying to slow his breathing down.
"Cal, you need to check on Ethan, I think he's having an episode." Lily said, sounding worried. Cal sighed deeply.
"Where'd he go?" Cal asked.
"Outside, said he wanted some fresh air." Lily answered. Cal walked out the ED and walked over to Ethan that had his head in his hands, rapidly breathing still.
"So Nibbles, Lily thinks you're having a problem?" Ethan didn't look up or even answer.
"Ethan?" Cal nudged Ethan's shoulder. Ethan lifted his head up slowly, looking at Cal.
Ethan was still sweating and was still breathing fast. His headache has gotten worse.
Cal grabbed his stethoscope and placed it on Ethan's chest. "Increased heart rate and breathing." Cal then felt Ethan's skin. "Very dry and warm."
"Okay Ethan, look at me. Ethan look at me." Ethan turned his head slowly.
"Breath on me." Cal requested, Ethan did so. Ethan had a type of fruity, sweet breath.
"Okay, I think you're having a hyperglycaemic episode, we need to get you back into the ED to check your blood sugars." Ethan nodded and slowly got up off the bench before turning around and throwing up behind Jeff's memorial bench. Cal grabbed his brother from behind as Ethan stumbled back, nearly falling over. Feeling so weak.
"I got you, it's okay." Cal said as he lowered Ethan too the ground, still holding him.
"Dixie, Iain can get some help please?" Cal who was on his knees with Ethan leaning on him, called over to the two paramedics that were standing outside the ED with the Ambulance. Ethan saw two blurry green figures rush over as he passed out.
Going to stop there for the moment but I will continue when I get back from my Nans : )
Hope it was a good first chapter. I honestly thought its a little boring but that's just me xD
