So, before I continue, please re read chapter 10 if you haven't already because I stuffed up some things so yeah. Anyway, onto chapter 11!
Cas' POV
Waking up again, I was shocked that I was in hospital. "Oh. You're awake Mr. Novak. I'll go get your friends." Spoke the nurse, and I looked down to what I had done to my skin. I had sliced it open as if it had a monster trapped inside, which I guess is pretty accurate. "Cas… so glad you're alright." Sam spoke quickly. Tameka had walked over to the window and Dean just sat down. We settled into an uncomfortable silence which was broken by a cough from Tameka. "Hey guys, why don't you go get us some food?" She turned around and looked at the boys as if to say, 'do as you are told or else.' Once the boys left she turned 'round to me with a look of… disappointment maybe. "Cas. Why?" She asked, her voice shaking. "I'd rather not talk about it." I looked away shamefully, but she wouldn't accept that as an answer. "Castiel look at me right now and tell why it is you hurt yourself!" She then took a deep breath before continuing. "I just wanna know why because if you don't, I want know what might be best." She looked at me am expression solemnly shown on her face, worry. "I… had a nightmare…" I then went on to explain all the bits and pieces all while looking at me with understanding and I could tell the cogs and cranks in her head were spinning and working away trying to think of the best actions to take. After taking a deep breath, I looked at her. 'Why did you save me? I deserved to die." That's when everything seemed clicked into place in her mind although she didn't address what I had said last. "Okay, thank you. But… first you're on a suicide watch for the roughly 15 hours and then they must discuss with the four of us what would be best for you. Now you are going to have to understand they put into the mental health unit as an involuntary patient if they feel it necessary." She spoke with wisdom and knowledge. The boys then came back and looked at Tameka. "So… Tam… what do you think they are gonna have to do with Cas?" Dean asked, and I could see the pain in his eyes and hear the hurt in his voice. It made feel even worse. "He may have to go in patient, whether voluntary or not. Otherwise they will keep him in on suicide watch for another 24 hours before discharging him." How she knew this I had no idea. Next, Sheriff Potter opened the door and walked in. "Well… the doctor wants to discuss your friend with you." He explained uncomfortably. Then the doc walked in. "Oh… but Tam here already told us the feasible options." Sam explained to doc who turned to look at her. "Sheriff, isn't she that girl you said told you that Mr. Novak here was almost certainly going to be checked in as a SX78.1XX_A?" She questioned causing Tameka to blush. "I most certainly am. Ummm… so…. Which of the three options do you think is best for our friend here?" She asked modestly.
Tam's POV
"What three options? I haven't even suggested any?" The doctor looked at me puzzled. "Oh… I've been admitted under the mental health act before and I know that he can either go in patient voluntarily, or involuntary if deemed necessary, and that otherwise he would be on suicide watch for a further 24 hours." I spoke professionally. "Wow, well done Miss…?" "Askin Eckhardt." I responded cringing as we had never thought of a permeant name for me. Well that and if she wanted to double check that what I said was true, she would need to know my actual last names. "Well then. Sheriff, Mr Winchesters, and Ms Askin, I'm going to need you follow me." And with that we left Cas alone.
Dean's POV
Everything was so confusing. Tam's mind seemed to working overtime as we followed the doc to white room where we settled on a couch. After we were settled, she turned to speak to Sam first. "Mr. Winchester, what do you believe would be the best option for Mr. Novak?" She asked and he shrugged before answering. "I'm not too sure to be honest. I mean… I'm still in shock and I am a bit confused. What were the codes you talked about?" He asked and to be honest I was quite curious too. "They are the ICD 10 CM Diagnosis Code, used so as that way we can act as quickly as possible to make sure the patient gets the appropriate treatment. The code your friend used was the straight forward medical version of self-harm by sharp knife leaving a type of a scar. The code doesn't describe the nature of the injury, just the cause as well as explaining what we are treating. She used the sequala initial encounter code which basically means this is the first time he's being treated for this set of scars." Wait what? "This set? You mean there have been others?" I inquired confused. "He suffered extremely bad infections because he didn't tell me about them. Sorry Dean… he asked me not to tell you." Tameka looked away shamefully while I tried hard not to yell at everyone in the room. "Anyway…. Thank you, Tameka, for telling us the exact code we needed so we could treat Mr. Novak." The doctor then turned to me. "Mr. Winchester, I knew this is a bit to take in but we must discuss what to do from here." I just shook my head. "Can we ask our friend how he's feeling about everything before we make our decision?" I inquired. "I think he has to go in patient. Whether he wants to or not. There's a chance he could do it again." Tameka seemed to know something we didn't. "What makes you say that?" Sam asked with caution. "He asked why I saved him. He truly believes he deserves to die." And then without even stopping myself tears started streaming down my face. "Very well… we shall take that into consideration. I must go speak with the team." And the doc left us alone.
