A tear slid down her cheek as she stood staring at the empty space in front of her on that lonely beach in Norway, where The Doctor had just faded away. Rose was trapped in this parallel world forever. He'd always been there to save her before, but this time he wasn't, he couldn't. She would have to live a lifetime without him.
The rest of the day faded into non-existence. She sat in the hotel room that her mum and dad had gotten her. Everyone was too tired to drive home that night and Rose wanted nothing more than to curl up into a ball and cry. She just kept seeing his face over and over again as he smiled at her, then watched him disappear for the second time. It wasn't fair.
The Doctor had been shocked by the appearance of Donna to say the least but it had taken his mind off that fateful day on the beach. Now he was alone again he was thinking about Rose. How she'd reached out to touch him, her hand falling short when he told her she couldn't. The tears in her eyes, making them sparkle as they threatened to fall before finally tumbling down her cheeks. He'd never see her smile at him again. That thought made both his hearts ache.
He just didn't want to do anything anymore. He'd given up on the universe. If there was a higher power, which he didn't believe there was, but if there was, that power must have it in for him. His world, gone. His people, gone. His companion, no, she was more than just his companion. He'd had dozens of companions. Rose was different. She was special. She understood him, knew when he needed to be left alone, knew when he needed a cup of tea, knew when he needed saving. But she was gone too, torn away in seconds. When her fingers slipped off that lever…his hearts stopped as she slipped away from him forever. After everything he'd been though, everything they'd been through together. It wasn't fair.
After three weeks Rose realised she had to get on with her life. She didn't want to, but if wasn't fair on her mum, and dad, they couldn't deal with her moping around looking like a ghost with the baby around. So she did the only thing she could. She got a job at Torchwood. She hated every minute of it and everything about it, but it was a connection, if a twisted one, to The Doctor and her old life. At least this way, she could make sure it never happened again. They would never destroy someone's life the way they had hers again.
