Healing Broken Hearts

Donna was sitting on the control room chairs, listening to the Doctor as he whispered things to himself, as he set the TARDIS to just float in the time vortex for a while. Donna couldn't really understand what he was saying, but she managed to catch a couple of words each sentence. They went along the lines of:

'Rose, I miss you.'

'I find a way back to you, just you wait.'

Et cetera.

The Doctor lifts his head a bit and Donna noticed that he had tears running down his cheeks.

"Doctor, are you all right?" She asked him. The Doctor wiped the tears from his eyes and looked at her.

"I'm always all right." He replied.

"You say that, but I know you Doctor." Donna said.

"Donna, I'm fine all right!" The Doctor snapped at her. Donna was taken aback at the Doctor's tone.

"You know what, fine don't tell me, you just do what you were doing and forget the fact that maybe I can help you." Donna snapped back at him. She then got up and walked out of the control room.

"Donna." He called, but she ignored her. "I'm sorry." He finished in a whisper. The Doctor put his head in his hands and sighed.

"Oh Rose, what have you done to me? I'm a wreck without you." The Doctor said to himself as if Rose was there next to him. He waited for a reply, but he knew deep down he would never get one. Not form Rose at any rate.

God he missed her.

He missed so much it hurt. His hearts hurt.

And he was hurting everyone else around him, because he was...is hurting.

Donna walked into the library and sat down on one of the beanbags.

God why wouldn't he tell her what's going on with him? She knew that it had something to do with one of his previous companions, Rose. When they had met Martha, she had told Donna a little bit of what had happened between the Doctor and her, and how she couldn't stay with him because she loved him, but he was in love with 'her'.

Martha had been one of the Doctor's best friends and still is, but she told Donna that he pushed her away a bit and that Donna should be careful that he didn't do it to her. There was no way that Donna was going to let the Doctor push her away; she was going to do her best to help him move on. Even if it took the rest of her life she would help him the best she could.

Donna then heard footsteps coming towards her. She sat up. Suddenly a broken hearted Doctor came into the library.

"Donna." He started.

"Don't worry about it Doctor." Donna told him.

"No Donna I need to tell you that I'm sorry and that I don't mean to push you away." He sat down next to her on the beanbag.

"It's all right Doctor, but please can you tell me what's wrong, maybe there's something I can do to help you." Donna told him.

"OK, the problem is Donna, I miss her, and I miss her so much my hearts ache." The Doctor told her.

"Rose?" the Doctor nodded.

"What happened?" Donna asked.

"Do you really wanna know?" It was Donna's time to nod this time.

"Well there was a battle, the Battle of Canary Wharf. Rose and I were there along with other people, and basically we had to stop the Daleks and Cybermen from taking over the Earth. The only way to do that was to open the void and suck them into it. The only problem was that both me and Rose had been across the void- which should be impossible- and into a Parallel World. So anyway if we hadn't had something to hold on to we would have followed them. So we held on to these magna clamps after opening the void using the leaver at Torchwood. However Rose's leaver was knocked by a Dalek and went into the off line position, she had to let go of the magna clamp to get it back up to the on line position. Once it was up the void began to pull Rose towards it. She tried to hold on to it, but her fingers slipped and she was pulled towards the opening. I was so scared she was going to die, but thankfully her parallel dad came and grabbed her before that could happen. The only thing is that she is now stuck on a parallel world, with no way back." The Doctor felt tears form in his eyes; he wiped them away, and then carried on. "I was able to say one last goodbye to her, she told me she loved me and I was about to reply, but I was cut off and never got to say the words I should have said so long ago."

"What were your last words going to be?" Donna asked.

"Rose Tyler I love you." After saying that, the Doctor felt like crying.

"You all right?" The Doctor shook his head. Donna felt so sorry for him and brought him into a hug. A minute later they let go.

"Thank you Donna. I guess getting it off my chest helped a little bit, but I know it's never going to go away the pain in my hearts. Not unless some miracle happens and Rose comes back, but that's never going to happen."

"Don't say that Doctor, it could happen. You just have to keep faith." Donna told him softly.

"I suppose you're right Donna. You are brilliant you know and I mean that." The Doctor said.

"Super temp." The smiled at each other.

"Come on spaceman let's go." Donna grabbed the Doctor's wrist and dragged him to the control room.

"Is it all right if you take me home for a week or so?" Donna asked him when they got there.

"Yeah if you want." He replied.

"You are going to be all right?"

"Yeah I think so."

"OK."

"Yeah." The Doctor began to set the controls for Donna's house.

Unknown to them at this moment, Donna was about to find the one thing that the Doctor would need to heal his broken hearts.
