Chapter 10:
Only a few hours ago the Ponds walked in on the Doctor passed out on the floor, covered in his own blood. Rory was mortified by what he saw, he sprinted to the ancient but young man. He lifted him up bridal style and carried him to the med bay, with Amy not far plugged the Doctor into the life support system and stuck an IV in his arm left arm,that's when he saw it. There were about 20 horizontal red bleeding cuts on the inside of his arm. The majority of them were bleeding, that's what made him faint. He ran to the other side of the medical bed and rolled up his eight sleeve. Again about 20 red,bleeding horizontal lines on his arm. He couldn't believe it. He heard Amy gasp and then hold back a sob and or a scream, from somewhere to his left. She looked up at him her face drained of color and with her lips quivering she said.
" why would...why would he ever do that to him...himself?"
"because...because...who knows Amy? I have no idea but when he comes too were going to have a serious discussion."
He continued to go about his work, hooking up a blood transfusion,getting medicine,putting padded restraints on the Doctor's arms and legs. About 22 hours later, approximately, the Doctor was starting to come too.
He pulled and tugged at the padded restraints. He was having a panic and anxiety attack all at once, he kept thrashing in the bed while hyperventilating. He didn't calm down until he saw Amy and Rory race into the med bay.
Amy soothed his hair out of his face, he gulped and took in the scene. His eyes wondering from thing to thing until it landed on his arms, then he started having a panic and anxiety attack all over again. Eventually Rory found a sedate, he injected the Doctor with it. He slowly calmed down, but his eyes still flickered between the both of them.
He looked so tiny against the bed and Rory couldn't help but think of him as a small child. Slowly he began to ask the injured man.
"Doctor.."
"Ye...yes...Rory?"
"Umm...just...why?"
He said the last word exasperation.
"Well Pond, that's a story for a mother time"
He tried to bop Rory's nose with his hand but he was restricted due to the restraints.
"Seriously Ponds I'm fine. We don't really need the restraints due we?"
"Yes Doctor we do" said Amy piping up "it says so in Rory's nurse book, any and all depressed patience's must be restrained until cleared fit, and you Doctor are far from fit."
At the mention of him being depressed the Doctors fave fell.
"You were never supposed to know, Amelia Pond, the girl with the fairy tale name, the girl who waited. You were never supposed to know.
