Title: Fall To Pieces

Rating: K+

Summary: Rose's thoughts post Father's Day.

Spoilers: Father's Day.

Disclaimer: If I owned Doctor Who, Christopher Eccleston wouldn't have left, meaning I never would have fallen in love with David Tennant. Everything has a reason.

Dedication: To everyone who noticed in last night's Rove Live that when Rove did his "underworld" music in the U2 interview, it was clearly the Doctor Who theme.

Note: Yes, it's another songfic. You don't know how many songs I compare to Doctor Who. I even compare break up songs to Rose and Jimmy Stones!

Fall To Pieces

After finally making it back to the TARDIS, Rose sat down. The Doctor sat opposite her. Neither moved.

I looked away
Then I look back at you

Rose tried to distract herself, but her gaze kept coming back to the Doctor. What did this mean for them? She knew she'd have to say something eventually.

You try to say
Things that you can't undo

If I had my way
I'd never get over you

Today's the day
I pray that we make it through
Make it through the fall
Make it through it all

This was a big day for Rose. She had almost caused the end of the world, had seen the Doctor get eaten by a Reaper, and had witnessed her father's death. But with the Doctor beside her, she knew she'd be okay.

And I don't wanna fall to pieces
I just want to sit and stare at you
I don't want to talk about it

Right now all Rose wanted to do was cool down. No discussion, no comforting, just Rose's broken heart adjusting.

And I don't want a conversation
I just want to cry in front of you
I don't want to talk about it
Cuz I'm in Love With you

At first, Rose had thought that her tears may mean weakness. But maybe they meant more. Maybe they meant she was revealing her true colours. She wasn't afraid to let the Doctor know how she felt inside.

You're the only one,
I'd be with till the end

Rose couldn't see anyone else in her future, and she didn't want to. Everything seemed right with the Doctor.

When I come undone
You bring me back again
Back under the stars
Back into your arms

Even when Rose felt like utter crap, the Doctor had a way of making her feel like the most important person in the world. He brought her to life. She remembered how in the church she'd been crying. The Doctor just had to cup her cheek and smile at her, and then they were hugging.

Wanna know who you are
Wanna know where to start
I wanna know what this means

What was Rose meant to think of their relationship? She still wasn't sure where she stood.

Want to know how to feel

Want to know what is real

I want to know everything

Everything

Rose didn't quite know how she felt about the Doctor, or how he felt about her. She needed to know. She needed to be certain. She led a very complicated life, and this was the last thing she needed. And yet … maybe it wasn't all about knowing. Maybe, like crying in front of the Doctor, this was a sort of unwritten bond. Each had their own feelings about things, and they were comfortable the way they were. Maybe nothing needed to be said.

And I don't wanna fall to pieces
I just want to sit and stare at you
I don't want to talk about it

And I don't want a conversation
I just want to cry in front of you
I don't want to talk about it
Cuz I'm in Love With you
