"Terminal. Did she really say that? It can't be." My thoughts whirled so quickly it made me dizzy. I sat on the nearby bench and closed my eyes. I shouldn't have done that. With my eyes closed I was stuck inside my own mind, no distractions. I quickly opened my eyes again as the tears started to pool and threaten to overflow. "No. Not here. You can not do this here." I scolded. "Keep yourself together." I looked down and blinked away the tears, but the lump in my throat remained. That's when he sat beside me. Imagine being in such a state as I was and a stranger invites themselves to sit only inches away from you. "Hello." He greeted me cheerily. I looked up slowly and met his eyes with a look of confusion. What was he doing? Clearly I was upset. Why wouldn't he just leave me alone. "I'm the Doctor." He offered a hand to shake. I just looked at it. "I'm sorry but I've had more than my fill of doctors for the day." I responded. "No, not that sort of Doctor." He quickly corrected. I looked him over. "Then exactly what sort are you?" That made him think a moment. " I... well, i'm not sure. I guess that's for you to decide." "Not to be rude, but i've got my own dilemmas right now. I haven't got time for yours." I snapped. I hadn't meant to be rude, it just sort of came out that way. But neither my words nor tone seemed to faze him one bit. That's when the raining started. Not a normal rain that begins as a sprinkle and gradually gets harder, no, it came as an immediate downpour. I didn't care much about getting wet but he took my hand and for some reason I followed him inside. Something about him... either way, i'm glad I did. So began my adventures with the doctor.
