A/N: New story? I think so. Alright, so before you go on I would just like to point out that I am in no way close to being caught up to Doctor Who, so no spoilers past season 4! Please, please, please no spoilers! Speaking of spoilers, if you are watching/will be watching Jessica Jones I suggest you do that first and then come back to read this if you're interested. This is my AU one that I created in my head and plan to keep writing about because it's driving me crazy. Again, if I write something that's incorrect according to Doctor Who or whatever, it's because I'm really, really behind. Also, it was nearly impossible to find the correct crossover with Kilgrave in it, so even though he's not listed as one of the characters, he will definitely be in this story.

Just sort of read this with an open mind, whatever else you know just forget about because unless I write about it, it's irrelevant to this story. Happy reading :)

Disclaimer: I do not own Doctor Who or Jessica Jones or anything else recognizable.

Chapter 1: The Doctor Has Left The Building

"He's gone."

"Rose..."

She fell to her knees, her fist clenching the sand around her. Her shoulders started shaking and she choked back sobs. "No..." She whispered. "Not again, not bloody again, no, no, no!" Rose wrapped her arms around her, rocking slowly. "He's left me... AGAIN!"

"No, no Rose! I'm here, I'm right here!" She felt an arm wrap around her, and as much as she wanted to shake it off, push him away, she couldn't. Because he was just like...

"I'm still the Doctor."

...But he wasn't. She knew the Doctor. She loved him. And he wasn't him. He looked like him, he thought like him, he even sounded like him, but the feel of only one heart beating reminded her it wasn't him. Not really.

Rose pushed him away. Unbalanced, he fell into the sand, but then got back onto his feet, shaking the sand out of his hair as he stood.

"Leave me alone."

"Rose, look, I know today has been a lot. It's been too much, when was the last time you've even slept? But I am the Doctor, the Doctor is me, we are the same. Well, maybe with one less heart. Well, and the fact I was regenerated by Donna and I'm part human. Well -"

"Stop it! Stop acting...stop saying things like him!" She stood as well, her legs shaking.

"If I wasn't him then how would I know what he, we, wanted to tell you. Why would you kiss me?"

"Like you said. It's been too much. I need to sleep," she paused, licking her lips, "and you need to leave."

He stared at her, his now unreadable expression so like the Doctor's, she couldn't bare to look at it. So she didn't, Rose turned away and closed her eyes. "Please. Leave. If you're so like him then it should be easy for you to do. All he ever does is leave people, people who follow him, would fight for him, people who love him, would die for him! But it doesn't matter - he'll just leave in the end. It's what he's best at, anyway."

"I guess that's one more thing we don't have in common, because I won't ever leave you. He, I, good Gods this is confusing, but we didn't have a choice, we never have a choice! But this time I do!"

"He did though too, just a couple of minutes ago. And he chose to leave, to go protect some other universe, instead of staying in this one, with me!"

"I am with you!"

"Why are you so daft. You're. Not. Him!"

"I am him! I'm the Doctor and I'm here for this universe, for you!"

Rose was still turned away with her eyes closed, but she could still feel his eyes on her. She didn't say anything. There was nothing else she could muster. She was heart-broken, she was angry, and she was just bloody well exhausted.

"Rose, honey, I think we should go," her mother cut in. Jackie looked at the Doctor, shrugging. "If you won't leave, then I think we must. We all just need a break," she walked towards Rose, and touched her cheek. Rose leaned into her mother's palm, a tear sliding down her cheek and over it. "Let's go," Jackie whispered.

"Allons-y," Rose said so quietly, she didn't even think her mother heard.

Jackie led Rose away and they walked down Bad Wolf bay, not even stopping when he called out.

"Just because you're leave me doesn't mean I'll leave you alone! I'll be watching and I'll be there when you want me to be. When you call out, I'll be there. This isn't the end of us Rose Tyler, and if the universe doesn't make sure of that, then I will!"

I'm halfway done with the next chapter, of course they won't be short like this one. It was more of a preview of what's yet to come. Thanks for reading!
