We're falling apart.

The entire department is coming to bits.

It's like the team is just a piece of cloth, over the months little things have torn us up. But the crash really pulled the last thread. We're just muddling through the hard times, trying to hold each other up.

But sometimes, just sometimes, we can't hold someone up and they end up falling and falling, until one of us catches them. None of us seem to know what to do. There are endless problems, that push people into a fall before any of us can stop it. Although we always catch whoever's falling, that doesn't stop the damage that the fall inflicts. It doesn't matter how high up you are or what job you do, everyone slips and falls. But then again, everyone has someone to catch them.

Like when Zoe was falling, unable to hold the team together. Connie was there to catch her, even if she did replace her. She caught her.

Like when Lofty was falling, unable to find a job or a home. Robyn was there to catch him, even if she had her foot impaled on a rake in the prossess. She caught him.

Like when Connie was falling, unable to stop the emotional impact of the crash. Charlie was there to catch her, even if he had to hold the team together. He caught her.

Like when Ethan was falling, unable to breathe because of the blood squeezing his heart. Cal was there to catch him, even if he was worried out of his mind. He caught him.

Like when Rita was falling, unable to stop drinking. Ash was there to catch her, even if he almost got her fired. He caught her.

Like when Tamzin was falling, unable to find happiness after Jeff's death. Dixie was there to catch her, even if she was sad enough herself. She caught her.

Like when Dixie was falling, unable to attend her husband's funeral. Iain was there to catch her, even if he missed half the funeral himself. He caught her.

We've all fallen, we've all slipped.

We've all caught someone, we've all been someone's saviour.

We're a team. We have to be there for eachother. If we aren't, we'll fall forever and the damage will never be fixed. But together, we have the chance to seal the open wounds. Stop eachother from hurting. It may not be the easiest job in the world but we do it.

Not just because we're colleages.

Not just because we're a team.

Not just because we're a cloth that's falling apart.

But because we're a family.
