Numb

Okay, so it's a twoshot. Yes, it is a word. This was suppose to be a 2-part prologue to GSNT story, but I thought this could stand on its own. This is how i thought Rose felt after her and the Doctors' tearful goodbye on the beach at the end of Doomsday.

1. To Forget

Chapter 1 – To Forget

For a while she just tried to make herself forget. Forget all the planets and the people, the corrupt governments and strange morals, the advanced technology and the way time could change how she thought. She tried to push the memories of the blue box to the back of her mind and never dig them out again. She tried to forget him.

It took days for her to speak to anyone again. After the battle at Canary Warf, she was completely devastated. She was torn away from the one person she needed most in her life, and little did she know he needed her more than life itself. She saved him; brought him back from the dark aftermath of the Time War and turned him into a better man. The desire to go back and change things to the way he wished they could have been was gone. A mere human taught the last Time Lord to move on, that pain and loss define us as much as joy and love. He was the last of his kind, and before she came he was all alone. And now they were both alone.

And then came the voice, and she could not forget. His voice, the sound she wanted to hear again every day was following her in her dreams, in her mind. He only spoke her name, but one word held so much power in it and she knew what to do: follow it.
