John rushed to be at Sherlock's side " Sherlock! Can you hear me? Sherlock!" John kept repeating, he grabbed the first thing he found hanging off the bed and used it to cover his wound. Taking Sherlock's phone from his jacket pocket he dialed 999 and called for an ambulance " God dammit Sherlock!" John mumbled as he hung up the phone and waited for the ambulance to arrive. He kept Sherlock's head stable as he tried to stop the bleeding, he didn't know why Sherlock had collapsed but he had a pretty good idea of what it could of been. " Mr Watson?" A voice called from downstairs, he got up and rushed to the stairs " Up here " He said pointing towards the bedroom " My friend he just collapsed and bashed his head, I- I tried to stop the bleeding " He said quite panicked as his voice trembled " It's okay, we're going to care of him now, you've done a good job" The paramedic said as he tried to reassure John as they got to work. He was placed on a stretcher with a bandaged head and a breathing mask over his face as he was carried out of the flat and into the ambulance arriving at the hospital 7 minutes later. John was made to wait outside whilst they got Sherlock stabilized, it felt like hours to him he didn't know what to do with himself as fiddled with his hands taking deep breaths to keep his self calm and stop his hands shaking uncontrollably.
About 4 hours later Sherlock roused from his sleep, his vision blurry as he moved his head from side to side very dazed and confused as his vision started to become clear he realized he was in hospital. He pulled himself out from the bed ripping the wires and IV that was attached to him as he very unsteadily walked along the corridor bashing into trolleys and walls along the way. " Mr Holmes, what are you doing out of bed?" a nurse asked holding onto his unstable form " Get off of me" He slurred pushing her away from him as he continued walking " John? " Sherlock said seeing him stood talking to someone " Sherlock! " John said surprised " W-what are you doing? You need to be in bed " John said as he quickly walked to him. Sherlock collapsed onto John, as he helped the nurse get Sherlock back into his bed and she attached the IV back into his arm, but this time John sat by his side, to make sure he didn't go wandering off again. " What's going on ? " Asked Sherlock " You collapsed and bashed your head, you're in hospital I had to ring for an ambulance don't you remember?" John asked " Oh " Sherlock said touching his head though wincing as he did so " Yeah i just said you bashed your head, you might not want to go touching it".
The Doctor arrived at the bedside about 10 minutes later " Oh Mr Holmes you're awake now, and been on a little walk about I hear " The Doctor said as he looked at Sherlock's notes " Do you know why you're here?" He asked " I bashed my head " Sherlock replied. " Yes but you did that because you collapsed, do you know why?" He asked " Oh do enlighten me " Sherlock said in his usual sarcastic tone. " You haven't been eating properly for the past few months it seems, you've just gone 5 days with nothing at all I've been told " Sherlock simply rolled his eyes. " Mr Holmes I don't if you understand how much of a serious matter this is, not eating like this can do some serious harm to your body, you're lucky you're not dead in fact! We've put you on an IV drip to help your body recover and give it all the vital things that it needs, that you've failed to give" The Doctor told Sherlock, but he didn't seem too bothered " Sherlock! Are you listening?" John asked with a serious tone " This isn't a joke! This is serious!" Sherlock simply looked the other way, not taking any notice of the pair of them. " You know the reason why I haven't been working? Because Mycroft asked me to keep an eye on you, we have both been worried about you Sherlock, you need help and this just proves it! " John told Sherlock " Oh typical Mycroft always trying to make a fuss over nothing, you know you're like a pet dog on a leash to him, oh go watch Sherlock for me John, he's being an irresponsible idiot again" Sherlock said mockingly as he rolled his eyes. " Sherlock! You know what forget it" John said in resignation " I'm off for some lunch i'll see you later " John said getting up from the chair and leaving, Sherlock didn't acknowledge him.
