Rose 1.0

As the TARDIS disappeared, she just stood there. She couldn't believe he'd just leave here here, after all she'd gone through to get to him, to save him, to save Donna, not to mention the rest of the Universes. She, who had been the Bad Wolf, who had taken in the Vortex just to save him, who had been abandoned to another Universe, who had fought her way back (thanks in part to the Daleks ripping space apart in order to find HIM), she who had helped save the Universes just for HIM.

He came up and took her hand. Him. The Clone. The one who was – and was not – HIM. She had kissed him, and she had meant it. At the time. Now she wasn't so sure. How was she to be happy with this – this Clone? He wasn't HIM. Was he?...

She squeezed, then relinquished his hand. She was numb with grief and anger, she had a lot to sort out, and he wasn't helping, much as he apparently wanted to. How could she have been so wrong? How could she have loved someone so very much, just to be abandoned? Was there something wrong with her? She'd given everything she had, everything she was, just to be back with him, to keep him from being alone, and he did this? WHY???

She'd never felt so betrayed in her young life. What more can you possibly give to someone than everything you are, were, or ever hope to be? Yet apparently it wasn't enough. She was here, HE was there. An entire universe between them. And she just didn't have the strength to attempt it again, although she was sure it could still be done. Safely. With some Time Lord help from the other side.

So she turned and walked, following her mum, along a path they'd followed before, on what had previously been the worst day of her life. Now this day replaced it. What she had struggled for years for, believing it would be the resumption of the most fantastic life, was instead a life sentence imposed by the one person she never expected. This was her reward for helping save the Universes.

She should have known after the first time he tried to fob her off on Pete at Canary Wharf. She came back, only to be lost. Now she knew why. She had to face up to it. He just didn't want her.

She was way beyond tears. She was MAD. And God help any being who made a Tyler female mad.
