I have wanted to write this for ages but I'm not sure how it has turned out – Please review to let me know what you think. Please note if you are a Rose fan then don't read this or you will probably hate me :D

"Oh Doctor, I can't believe this is happening! I never thought I would see you again but here we are back in the TARDIS, together at last." Rose squealed as she hugged the time lord tightly. She was travelling with him again after the void had opened and their worlds had collided but the universe had been saved one more by the Doctor. She was beyond happy and felt like all her wildest dreams had come true at once. The Doctor was in shock, not only because of her return but because of the way he felt. That emptiness he had felt for the past year was still there and it felt like something was still missing. Despite the fact Rose was back, the Doctor still felt lost and alone. He put on his usual cheery face and told Rose that he was going to clear out the attic in the TARDIS.

"Sounds like fun" she said, following the Doctor up the stairs. He began to sift through objects and bits of wire, throwing them into a box in the far corner of the room. He stopped when he noticed a little pink box and then decided to carry on; this hesitation however, did not go unnoticed by Rose. She reached out and grabbed the box, fumbling with the lid.

"No, leave that. I only need to sort out the rubbish" he tried to pry it from her hands but her curiosity got the better of her and she yanked it open, carelessly. Pictures slid over the floor and Rose began to look through them.

"Who is this?" She whispered, accusingly, full of anger at the picture of the Doctor smiling next to a pretty girl. Before he could answer, Rose picked up another and this one angered her even more – it was the Doctor with his arm snaked tightly around the same pretty girl.

"I was gone forever and what the hell are you doing with your arm around her waist." Rose's voice was getting louder,

"You had me quickly replaced and forgotten about with some other girl, you're disgusting Doctor!!" He made a rather half-hearted attempt to reassure her but proceeded to carry on sorting through the rest of the attic in silence. He hated her immature jealousy at everything and everyone in his past, she would pass comments whenever he tried to tell her about his previous acquaintances or family and it was like she only cared about what happened when he was with her. She was throwing the photos straight onto the floor, not even bothering to put them back into the pink box. He missed having someone who listened and understood and he missed having someone who questioned him, and who was there to save him from himself.



"So go on, who's the cheap tart in the pictures?"Rose yelled at him. Emotion welled up inside him and before he could stop himself, he shouted in fury,

"Her name is Martha Jones and she is NOT a cheap tart, you have no right to insult someone that you have never even met or known!! Just stop it ok?" His eyes were glazed with anger and Rose stormed out of the attic and went to her room. The Doctor breathed out and sat down on the floor, he was in bad mood and wanted to be alone to think.
