Rose stumbled into the kitchen, her head was pounding. She slumped into the chair and sighed, she couldn't sleep last night, not after meeting Sarah Jane so she'd broken into The Doctor's supply of alien whisky hoping to get her thoughts in order. To be honest it hadn't really helped just made her more confused. Why did her heart flipped at his every fleeting glance? What did it mean that with every time he held her hand a vice of hot red heat gripped at her? Why did she want to spend her every living moment with him? What had he nearly said that night outside the coffee shop? "I don't age, I regenerate but humans decay, you wither and you die imagine watching that happen to someone that you…" someone that he what? She shook her head as if to shake away the searing pains. Things were only getting more complex now Mickey was on board, Jeez! she was hoping to come into understanding her feelings for The Doctor, Mickey was bound to get in the way. Oh she knew she was in love with The Doctor but in what way as a Friend? Uncle? Father? Or something more?

"Morning Rose" Mickey greeted as he entered the kitchen making her jump.

"Oh hi" She replied hastily guiltily worrying he would somehow read from her face what she had been thinking about.

"Toast?" He asked

" Umm yeah thanks" she said

After a long time of awkward silence Mickey finally plucked up the courage to ask her which had obviously been bothering him for the last couple of minutes.

"Are you all right you look knackered?" He asked concerned

"Yeah I'm fine just.."

"Hungover?" The Doctors voice quipped in wandering from the open door, she turned round to see him waving the empty bottle of whisky before him.

"I'm not surprised your tired Rose up till three and drinking your way through a whole bottle!"

Mickey looked at her with wide eyes "Well this is an addition you used to be the one who always kept me in check when we went drinking!"

"C'mon Rose Medbay, I've got a good hangover cure there, headache? it'll be gone in no time"

She pulled herself up to her feet and wobbled dangerously. Mickey jumped up at once to help her.

"No Mickey I'm fine! I can walk for myself" She said battering him away.

The Doctor quirked an eyebrow Rose had been acting off with Mickey ever since he'd asked to join em' yesterday. Mickey went back and sat down sulkily annoyed at being brushed off by Rose, He was already beginning to regret joining them he had a funny feeling he was going to end up playing gooseberry he'd hoped with this new doctor that he'd be able to get back in their with Rose but it was no obvious that her feelings for The Doctor had only increased since he had last seen her.

-------------------------------------------

The Doctor led Rose into the medbay and pushed her gently yet firmly into a chair before terming to the cupboards to look for the cure.

"So?" he said

"So what?"

"So are you going to tell me what's botherin' you or am I going to have to guess?"

He turned round to see her intently staring at her trainers, clearly avoiding meeting his gaze. He pushed a cup into her hand and indicated her to drink it, she did so never looking up.

"Ok guess it is! Lets see your worried about me replacing you with Mickey?" She shook her head, He thought for a moment and tried again "Mickey getting hurt?"

She stood up looking at him angrily "You really have no idea! Do you?" She stated more than asking sobs ever so often breaking through. The Doctor was highly confused "Wha.? Idea 'bout what?" Rose spun on her heels and walked out. "Rose how am I supposed to talk if I don't know what it's about" he called after her. She just carried on "Hormones" He grumbled after a few minutes and turned to follow her.

-------------------------------------------

Rose flopped on her bed and burst into tears, past caring she didn't know what to do everything was just over her head Sarah Jane, Mickey, …The Doctor! She sighed she loved him so much but argh! It was so annoying. "Rose? Rose?" It was Mickey

"Go away!"

" Rose what's up?"

"Go away"

"Rose let me help! I want to help! I love you!" He shouted needily through the door.

"GO AWAY!"

She heard him leave and buried her head once more in the pillow.

She was so busy crying she didn't even notice The Doctor slip into her room.

"Rose what is it?" He asked calm though slightly upset whatever it was he wanted to make it better he loved Rose so much and could not bear her to be angry at him

The layer of ice round her heart instantly melted feeling guilty about how upset he sounded and looked

"Sorry s'nothing! I just .."

"Rose it obviously wasn't nothing you don't bite peoples heads of for nothing" he said kneeling down to look at her.

"Oh I dunno there was just so much goin through my head I just lost it" She sighed and burst into tears once more. He instantly sat beside her and put his arms round her not even minding as her warm tears seeped onto his shirt. They sat their for ten minutes before Rose finally pulled away puffy eyed and mascara smudged.

He put his hand up against her face and was surprised when she briefly closed her eyes and lent into his touch.

"So What's the matter?" he asked finally looking at her worriedly oh please! Please! Say she didn't want to go home. She gulped gathered her remaining strength and spoke " I .. I Love You" She said nervously looking up into his eyes Had she just said what he thought she said what he'd wanted her to say for months "You love me?" He asked voice cracking hoping beyond hope he had heard her right.

" Yeah since the moment I met you" she looked so scared so nervous and he new the only way to make it better…

He bent down and kissed her light tenderly at first but soon his inhibitions left him he kissed her desperately exploring her mouth as tongues came into mix the passion soaring between them. She pulled away both of them gasping for breath "I love you too" He replied Finally "More than anything in the world" he added before lowering her back onto the bed.

Mickey ran away from the room he'd lost his mind was in turmoil he HATED him he could kill him and if he'd had had the guts he probably would have but no he'd leave that to Jackie
