Chapter One

Last Words Lost

"I lo…"

"I love you!"

The words choked in her throat, an almost… familiar feeling. She thought she might have done this before, the same tears running down her cheeks, smearing her makeup. The same longing to embrace the hologram in front of her, a sad smile playing on his cheeks.

"Quite right too."

The smile nearly broke what was left of her sad heart.

"And I suppose… if it's my last chance to say it…"

And suddenly she knew what was coming next. She had been here before. Not just here, but now. She had done this before and she knew what was coming next.

"NO!" she screamed. The shock and rage was welling up inside her, not knowing what to do. Her silent scream pierced her heart, but no one else's. She knew from these dreams that no one else could hear her.

"Rose Tyler…"

And he was gone, fading into the scenery of the ironically named Bad Wolf Bay. Last words lost, yet again. The tears controlled her eyes, and she couldn't see the bay around her. She blinked her eyes…

And she was back in her room, staring at the ceiling. She knew it was a dream, she knew she couldn't go back. And… she knew he wouldn't. She had learned so much about him, and she still had had so much it learn, but she knew now that she would never know the most important thing.

Those last words.

She would of preferred so many more dream then this one. Even dreaming that he had sent her back home form satellite five would be better then this. But for the past three years, that dream and that dream only had been haunting her dreams. On the nights she slept, anyway. But sometimes the waking nightmare where worse…

There was a creak and the door to her bedroom opened. A dark figure walked in and flicked the wall switch. Mickey stood there, looking worried.

"You okay? Well obviously you aren't, but better then usually? After your dreams, at least."

"No, worse actually. I was…"

"Thinking about what he might of said."

"Yeah."

There was a small silence in the room.

"You know, Rose… you're never gonna be able to forget him, are you?"

"Yeah… I've tried, but, Every time I think about all the good time we had, I realize, I don't really want to forget him. Even with the way things turned out."

"So, then, is it over?"

"Huh?"

"Between us, I mean. I think we both know it has been over for a while, but we never really ended it."

"Yeah, I suppose it's over."

"So, even if you don't move on, if you never move on from him, don't I have a right to be able to be happy with someone else?"
