Leonard McCoy was at his lowest point he was well past rock bottom.
Since his father's death, the father which he killed. He had started to drink not so much just a little after work or schooling it wasn't more that one or two drinks a night.
Then a few years ago his marriage began to get difficult, a lot of fights and soon to the drink become more.
His mother sends him a email saying how much she hates him and wishes he was dead instead of his father. The drinks become more and more. His drinking didn't effect his job, he loved children and wish to have children but Pamela didn't want any.
He think he hit rock bottom when he returned home early one day due to him being sick. He didn't notice his best friends Clay's car when he park in his drive way. He opened the front door to their house and started hear the sound of the bed squeaking and moaning. He knew he shouldn't of gone to the bedroom. He just stood in the door watching as his wife and best friend having sex they were to busy to notice him.
"Well don't let me intrude your fun, I will be going"
Pam and Clay let out a scream. They quickly covered themselves up. He just turned around and walk out door yelling to the ashamed lovers.
"Expect the papers by tomorrow, Pam" He shamed the door shut and called his lawyer. He knew the divorce was going to be painful as Pam was a lawyer herself. He got of the phone with him catching her sleeping with someone else the divorce was quick. He got in his car and drove to a bar. Because of his heart broken state he didn't relies he was still in his hospital scrubs, that was one of his stupidest mistakes ever.
He sat in the pub with a glass of alcohol, this was his tenth glass in half an hour he had just gotten off his comm. Pam was denying the claim that she was sleeping around but she still wanted a divorce so that would take months maybe even a year or two. He knew that she wanted a divorce as well but she wanted him to suffer. He drowned his glass and ordered another one. An hour later Clay and Pam had turned up at the bar properly to celebrate. They stay even though they saw him in the bar. They started to kiss which turned to a make out. Clay then began to walk over towards his new ex best friend and smiled at him.
"Look Leonard, I'm sorry man but you and Pam had been unhappy for years and I mean you two were going to be getting a divorce sometime in the future. So you put this on yourself, but no hard feeling right"
Leo look at his friend and made another stupid mistake "No hard feeling" he laughed and smashed his glass on Clay forehead. Pam quickly run to Clay and started to scream at Leonard "What the hell is wrong with you"
He just laughed again "What the hell is wrong with me. While my bitch soon to be expected wife was sleep with the arsehole ex best friend and you ask want is wrong with me. What the hell is wrong with you Pamela."
Clay stood up and threw himself at Leonard. They both threw punches and Clay slammed his head on a table. Leonard doesn't remember much after that.
He woke up in the same hospital that he works at. With stitches in his skull a broke nose and a heart full of misery.
The next morning the police handed him a restrainting order that Pamela had against him. Later the hospital handed a request for his regernation. The CEO look at him with sympathy as he handed it in. He loved his job, working with children but now he probably would not be aloud to work in any children departments for at lease five years.
He took another look at the restrainting order. One of the best thing was the the marriage was terminated right away. No charges where in pressed against by the person he attacked. But Pamela was not satisfied, she never was. He wasn't allowed in to be on the plant as her, shit she was a good lawyer and he was not allowed in a bar in Georgia for two years.
With no where to go he left for starfleet. He was sitting in a bar in Iowa. The judge said the plant thing was not compulsory. Leonard didn't really want to be on the some plant as his ex wife.
He notice a guy getting a heck beating out of him. He felt sorry for him knowing about what it is like to be drunk and stupid to get in bar fright. He left the bar when the officer ordered all the cadets out. Well everyone left after that.
The next morning he sat next to man in the fight, he was glad that he was not the only lost soul with no where to go.
