It was a Friday night, about 5:30 pm. The Doctor had left the orange pill bottle in the TARDIS and made his way to Chloe's house. As he was walking, he saw Chloe's house. He saw a figure leave the house and get into a car. The figure was holding a backpack and put it in the passenger seat. The figure got in and drove away. The Doctor recognized the license plate as Chloe's father. He walked up to the house and knocked on the door. Kate answer it.
"Ah, Doctor, you're ready?" She asked. The Doctor rose an eyebrow.
"You know?" He asked. Kate nodded.
"Chloe told me. I'm down to help out." She said back. The Doctor nodded.
"Thank you." He said back. Kate moved away from the doorway to let him in. He walked in. He was still seeing One, in his mind.
"My boy, are we sure this is a good idea?" He asked. The Doctor closed his eyes with annoyance.
"Please don't do that." He asked.
"Do what?"
"Convince me out of this. This is you trying to get me to take more of the pills so you can survive in my head." The Doctor said.
"How does that make sense? I was the one convincing you to do this." He said.
"I know, but your my rational mind. You're about to be the one trying to get me to do whatever I need to to get rid of the pain. I need you to not do that."
"What does that make your mind? The teenage rebel going against your own better judgement?" One asked.
"Well, we both think that we're right. As far as I'm concerned, that's you." The Doctor said back. He then eyed Kate. She was looking at him with a bit of fear.
"You really are hallucinating." She stated.
"Yeah, sorry if I freaked you out then."
"You showed me the dream state of my older sister. Forgive me if I'm not as surprised as you would expect." She said. The Doctor nodded and smiled a bit.
"Yeah, that's true."
"So, where is he?" Kate asked, referring to his hallucination. The Doctor pointed next to him where he saw One. Kate looked over to where he was standing. "Um, hi?" She greeted, blindly. One grabbed his lapels and looked at Kate with a serious look. Kate obviously couldn't see him anyway. Then, Chloe and Taylor came downstairs.
"Doctor!" Taylor greeted. The Doctor nodded back.
"Are you ready?" Chloe asked.
"My hallucination is telling me to turn back, so I'm obviously doing something to it. Yeah, I'm ready." He said. Chloe nodded and motioned for him to come upstairs.
"In the bathroom, I have ginger to get rid of any taste coming from withdrawal Nausea. We have movies queued up in my room. Do you need anything else?" Chloe asked. The doctor nodded.
"A few thing, yeah. First off, why do you have all of this? The movies I understand, but I'm curious as to why you wanted to help me at all. Your 16, you have no knowledge of mental illness." The Doctor stated.
"You're a friend. I want to help my friends." Chloe said.
"That's going to hurt you one day." He said.
"What's the other thing you need?" She asked, ignoring his statement.
"6 pack of Pepsi, stat!" He said, with an over exaggerated emphasis on 'stat'. Taylor smiled at the joke and went downstairs to grab a Pepsi. The Doctor went to Chloe's bed, and examined it. Then he jumped on it and put his head on the pillow. Chloe walked over and smiled.
"I can't believe you're in my bed." She said.
"Neither can I. I thought you were still in the age of the whole 'boys have cooties' thing." He said. Chloe laughed a bit. The Doctor grabbed his leg and rubbed it a bit. Chloe saw that he was hurting.
"Do you need something? Like Advil?" She asked. The Doctor shook his head.
"You crazy? That stuff will kill me." He said. Chloe was a bit put off by how serious he said that, but brushed it off. Taylor came back with a Pepsi.
"Got it. It's pretty cold." She said. The Doctor took it.
"Brilliant, thank you." He said, cracking it open and drinking it. He set it down on her nightstand. "So, what the movie selection for tonight?" He asked. Chloe looked at her nightstand/DVD holder.
"Let's see. I got most Disney movies. I have the Star Wars movies. What do you want to watch?" She asked. Kate walked over and looked at the list.
"I think he'd want to watch Back to the Future." She said with a smirk. Chloe looked over.
"That good with you?" She asked. The Doctor shrugged.
"Sounds fun." He said. Chloe nodded and took the DVD out and put it in the player. Then while it was loading, she looked around for a place to sit, as her bed was taken by the Doctor.
"You can sit with me if you want." He said. Chloe went a tiny bit red.
"It's a small bed, we'd be practically on top of each other." She said. The Doctor nodded.
"Yeah so? It's not like we'd be doing anything bad." He said. Chloe thought about it, then gave in and walked over to the bed. The Doctor moved a bit to the side and extended his arm for Chloe to lay down on. She hesitated but got on the bed next to the Doctor. She shuffled around a bit to get comfortable then relaxed. They both glanced at each other awkwardly. Then Kate and Taylor sat besides the bed. The Doctor massaged his leg with pain and took a deep breath.
"You can still leave, they won't stop you." One said.
"Yes they will, now shut up and watch the movie." The Doctor said back. One sighed with disapproval and looked at the movie. All of the girls looked at the Doctor with a weird look, then looked back at the movie.
