Here's another story based on last night's episode 'The Girl Who Waited'.

Just watching the older Amy and Rory talking with the TARDIS door between them, broke my hearts. I can't believe I had to lie to them, just so we could save the younger Amy. It was the right thing to do, wasn't it? I mean, if I hadn't done what I did, Rory wouldn't have Amy with him now at all. So why does it feel so wrong?

Looking at Rory by the TARDIS door; his facial expression and the look in his eyes were almost exactly the same as mine when I was standing by the white wall in TORCHWOOD where the opening of the void had been. It was 5 years ago now, but it still hurt to think about it. The day that broke my hearts again. I thought I was going to be happy, but of course, I'm not allowed that kind of happiness. It's like the universe for bids it. And looking at Rory now, I can see the old me through his eyes. Broken, lonely, empty. But Rory's not alone, he's still got Amy, I don't have Rose anymore, so Rory's come out ahead. But I can see and understand why he feels like he does even though he still has Amy.

I want to make things better for him, but I know that I'll only land up making things worse. But if I don't say anything, Rory might think I don't care. But I do. I think it'll be best if I let Rory and Amy talk things through before I get involved. I can't make things worse for them, I've done enough already.

And while these thoughts run through my head, I can't help but think that there will come a time when I hurt them again. Though I might not mean or realise it, but I will. Everyone who touches me gets hurt. Whether they're my friends or not, they get hurt. And when they hurt I hurt. Just like now.

I will try to make it up to Rory, but there's probably nothing I can do, but there's no harm in trying. But I did do the right thing, I'm sure of it. Even though it felt so wrong.

Thank you for reading; I hope that was OK for everyone. I was inspired by this episode. Something that doesn't happen very often. But it was emotional and I like emotional episodes. Well in general, I like the way they're beautifully written.

Please let me know what you think.
