AN: All characters are gonna be OOC. Because the behaviors and the pairing aren't canon, the actions aren't canon. I am manipulating them to my will. I've always wanted to see an ED!Doctor fic since I read a SI!Doctor fic a while back. Didn't think one'd come up soon, so I decided to write one! (Can't remember the name of the SI one, look for it in my faves if ya like.) Don't like, don't read, mmkay?

Disclaimer: I don't own Doctor Who. Though, if slavery was legal, I'd own Matt Smith and David Tennant in a heartbeat. (Or vice versa.)

Summary: After the Dream Lord incident, Rory and Amy find out that the Doctor has some problems that seem all too human. Rory/11/Amy, eating disorders, self harm

Prologue.

Lines. Descending, horizontal lines, to be exact. Descending, like the downward spiral of his thoughts, dragging him deeper into the abyss of his lonely, lonely mind.

Killed. He could've gotten them killed. 'Like always.' The thought makes him sick. But, he's already been sick so much, his stomach can't keep anything down anymore. 'Not that I deserve to.'

Scar-covered arms wrap around too-skinny knees, as he tucks his face into the crevice between them and sobs. His ragged breaths echo in the room, like the cries in his empty, empty mind. And, he is alone.
