They all did

The engine screeched into life, there was nothing in the world like this man and his magical machine.

Once you had heard the noise once it would be in your dreams for the rest of your life, or your nightmares. Rose thought she had known what she was signing on for: travel, adventure, and helping an old strange alien smile again and really smile like he meant it, not grin to disarm the enemy.

When Rose was fifteen she met a man. Well not really a man more like a boy called Jimmy Stones. By sixteen he controlled her life and if he didn't think that her future career should be a child minder or a primary school teacher then she wouldn't be. Not that he would have know however as from the last she had heard from he was in prison for GBH, an old lady a 'mugging that got out of hand' apparently.

After that Rose dated Mr Mickey safe-nice -guy Smith and broke his heart as she left him for a man with big ears and a dangerous hobby of saving the universe.

Jimmy left Rose and Rose left Mickey the way Rose saw it, it didn't matter whether her and the Doctor were together or not. He was still gonna leave her.

When Jimmy left Rose, no warning, no conversation just an empty flat. With all of his stuff and anything of value of hers missing, it came of little but still heartbreaking surprise to see him giving mouth to mouth resuscitation on a conscious different slightly prettier blonde, in the dog and duck. Roses' local after moving back in with her mother.

Rose waited five and a half hours for a man to return. He had been dragged away by another pretty blonde. Expect this one wasn't some bimbo whose idea of intelligent conversation was talking about how scary her newest boob job was, and whether her nose was in perfect line or just ever so slightly to the left. This blonde was the Uncrowned Queen of France and the and man was not Jimmy Stones.

Sarah Jane said it was worth getting your heart broken, yet she made it sound like some tome in the far distant future not the next day. Rose swore after the Jimmy Stones incident that she would never let anyone ever control her as much as that ever again.

Left alone without so much as a goodbye, Rose waited three hours planning all the stuff she was going to say to him and how he was going to see her as the companion who wouldn't always wait for him.

Two hours later Rose was begging to believe he really was not coming back that he had chosen the French as-good-as-Queen.

Half an hour later he came back and all Rose knew was him he had chosen her. Then he went back for Reneitte. Yet the Doctor returned alone though unusually quite and something was not right. Under a pile of week old clean washing what had no hope of ever being put away in its appropriate place before it would once again need to be washed, Rose freed the Lap top and typed in the other woman's name.

Reneitte had died five years after the robots came; the Doctor had been too late. Rose chose to the incident stay hidden as the man in question would never trust her with such private matters. She also kept it from Mickey.

One week later they landed in a parallel universe and Mickey stayed.

At seventeen Jimmy Stones left Rose and Mickey left Rose at twenty. How old would she be when the Doctor lefty her? After all everybody did.
