Final Goodbyes.
Author: JForward
Summary: Just a short oneshot, the Doctor has found another way to talk to Rose and says goodbye for the final time.
Disclaimer: Doctor Who is not mine and never will be. Life ain't fair!
Life had no real purpose now. She never felt happy, truly, like she had running for her life before with him, holding his hand, smelling his faint smells of alien things. Unidentifiable to her, but so much.. him. She fingered the icy cold silver key that never left her neck, even in sleep. Her only connection to him now. Tucked up in bed, four poster, in a beautiful room, Rose could no longer see the beauty. Every night she sat like this for hours, remembering, big hair, brown eyes.. her Doctor. No longer hers.
Rose…
She dismissed that voice in her mind. Memories haunting her. Her final goodbye to him, the words he never got to finish. She loved him too, and yet the words felt hollow to her. Like a wish that could never be fullfilled.
Rose!
Her head snapped up from the patterns on the quilt she had been blindly staring at. "Doctor?" she whispered, softly, not believing. The key around her neck was warm, glowing slightly.
Rose.
I don't have long, now. I just wanted you to know, I never finished
what I was going to say.
Rose Tyler, I love you.
His
voice was faint, he seemed to be struggling to get this across. "I
love you too, and always will Doctor.."
I'll
always be here, Rose. Know it. Knowwe're together, in our hearts.
God, I sound cheesy. Rose, I love you. Goodbye, Rose. For the last
time. Goodbye.
"Goodbye, Doctor" she whispered softly, tears running down her cheeks. And she lay back on her pillows, slipping into her first true sleep since they were parted. "I always love you, too."
Fin.
