What ifs and could have beens
"Simone, please don't do this, please come back" I sobbed into the phone.
"It's too late, I already have" came the cold, sad reply from the other end of the phone line, then the line went dead. I lowered my phone into my pocket, my eyes unseeing gazed across the lake, all I could see was her face, the times we had spent together, her smile her laugh, just her.
I stood, walked from the park and went home, crying and gaining looks from all around, this is how my story begun, this is how I changed the world.
When I got home I removed a knife from the kitchen drawer, a large bread knife, I gazed into its stainless steel surface, and for the briefest of seconds thought I saw her face. A single tear drop glanced down my cheek.
"Well, this is it" I gasped out, brought the knife up to my neck...and made a large deep incision. Blood poured from the wound and the knife fell to the floor. I followed shortly after, and then, he appeared, a face in the knife, not my own. A face with no eyes, two holes for his nose and enshrouded in a hood.
"You don't have to die here" he wheezed "you can have her and your life back" he said as a picture of Simone appeared beside him "All I need, is your agreement."
With no way to talk as I had severed my wind pipe, I made my limp head nod in agreement.
"Then so be it" he murmured, and that was when everything changed. The universe groaned in pain, converged in on itself and exploded in a supernova, everything was gone, just for the smallest of seconds there was nothing, but then, it was back, and so very different.
-Meanwhile just outside the universe-
"And here we are" the doctor beamed at his two companions "the planet outside of the universe itself" the Doctor grinned.
"It's incredible" Amy grinned spinning around, her long ginger hair trailing behind her and brushing into Rory's face. Which caused him to look up, which in turn caused him to realise.
"Doctor, what's happening to the universe?" Rory asked.
The Doctor and Amy followed his outstretched finger to gaze at the universe. It was shrinking, fast, being sucked in on itself.
"But that's impossible" Amy murmured, grabbing onto Rory. Only, Rory wasn't there anymore.
"Rory where are you?" Amy asked, fear creeping into her voice and tears forming in her eyes. "Doctor bring him back, you bring him back right now" she shouted, tears flowing freely down her face.
"I'm sorry Amy, I am so so very sorry" the doctor whispered and pulled her into an embrace, then the universe was no more and the doctor stood on the planet alone, clutching at the air where Amy would have been.
The doctor gazed back up to the sky and saw the near impossible, the universe exploding back into life, the doctor was knocked to his knees by the shockwave and had to shield his eyes from the light. He stood, pulled out his Sonic screwdriver and pointed it at the expanding universe, thumbed the button and let it home in on 24 brook bank avenue, London, England, earth.
"It's always earth" the doctor sighed and stepped into his TARDIS, set the co-ordinates and flew straight into the new-old universe.
"Don't worry Pond, I'm going to save you" he said, a cold, deadly look in his eyes as The doctor, that mad man with a box, went to save everything that was, to stop this world of what ifs and could have beens and bring the universe back to normality.
