Hello All! Those days when you feel depressed for no reason :/
Ryan woke, feeling dizzy. He felt Tee dabbing an ice pack on his head.
"You had a panic attack." she told him. He tried to get up. "Don't move. You need to rest."
"Did everyone see..." Ryan started.
"Yeh I'm afraid so. Mike wants a therapist to talk to you. He's booked you in for an appointment next week. But he wants to know what's happening." Tee explained.
"B...but I don't want to tell him. He'll send me away. Back to Duffield house. And you know what will happen if I go back"
"I won't let them take you. I promise." she reassured him, but didn't think that she would be able to keep it. TDG would most likely have an inspection to see if it was fit for handling mentally ill care kids and Tee had a feeling that it would fail and that Ryan would be moved elsewhere, which she didn't want.
"Mike told me to give him this" Carmen came in with a glass of water. She passed it to Tee and left.
"Here, drink this. It'll help your head." She held his head to the glass of water.
The next day
Ryan's POV
I...I don't know what to tell Mike. He wants to know EVERYTHING and my social worker will be there, and she knows when I'm lying, so there's no getting out. I thought I'd be fine with telling Mike as he doesn't know everything and neither does my social worker. And they wouldn't find out about this either as I'd make sure I behaved myself. I don't know what to even do. I began to cry helplessly. Everyone else was at school and Mike had kept me off because of what happened yesterday. I chose to do something...cut. Yes, that would help. And Mike wouldn't even know as he would think they are fresh cuts from the past few days. I got my self harm kit out and cut. I began to get carried away...I kept cutting as the pain helped...I kept cutting. I felt dizzy and sick...I looked at the time. OH NO! I remembered that Mike had told me that my social worker would be coming at 3 and not 4...and it was 2.52. I'd have to clean up these cuts. One more wouldn't hurt. One turned into five new cuts. I was VERY dizzy...I grabbed on to the wall as I tried to walk to my on-suite bathroom. Having an on-suite was good because nobody would notice that I was in the bathroom a lot. I couldn't get to the bathroom...I began to vomit and then fell unconscious.
Tee's POV
I just got back from school and I wanted to speak to Ryan to see how he was doing. I knocked on the door...no reply.
"Ryan" I called. No reply.
"Ryan!" I knocked on his door again. "You'd better be decent as I'm coming in." But, nothing would have prepared me for what I saw. Ryan...he was just passed out. I screamed, hoping Mike would come. I ran over to Ryan. His wrists were bleeding. I put him into the recovery position. He was slipping in and out of consciousness. Mayli was up in Ryan's room instantly and so was everybody else.
Normal POV
"Tee! What's up? What happened to him?" Mayli crouched next to him, dialling 999.
"I don't know...I came in and he was like this" Tee held his had, comforting him. The ambulance soon arrived and Tee and Mayli went into the hospital. Mayli told them everything she knew whilst Tee sat by his bedside.
"Thirteen year old boy diagnosed with depression and he was found like this. Scars are from self harming. Take him to the paediatric unit and put him on an IV drip. Take note of his blood pressure every hour." The doctor told the other doctor, who took him to the children's ward. Ryan was given a private room and was instantly hooked up to several machines. "I'll tell the nurses you are here."
Ryan was now awake, but felt terrible. He was on an IV drip and a heart monitor was attached to him. The nurse came in.
"Hi, I'll be your nurse today." The nurse said. "Name is Ryan Reeves." she looked over at him. "Ryan?"
"Khloe?"
CLIFFHANGER! I think the next few chapters are going to be the climax of the story, so expect lots of drama. Lots of twists and turns lie ahead ;)
