"Rose!" He yelled, as she fell to the ground.

He caught her just before she hit it, her eyes were glistening with tears. A small hole lead right through her stomach, he watched as blood began to poor out of it.

"No, no no no. It'll be alright Rose." He cried, tears beginning to stream down his face.

Rose's eyes still shined for him, freckles of gold in the chocolate brown; her smile still as sweet as ever.

"It's not your fault. Just remember that, love."

He placed a kiss on her forehead, then cheek, and then softly on her lips, "I could help you."

"No, we had our forever, even if I'm not ready to go." She whispered, breathlessly.

She reached out for his cheek, and rubbed the bone with his thumb. Before taking a slow breath and letting her hand fall back to her side.

"Oh Rose, I can't lose you now. I'm sorry, I'm so, so sorry." He sobbed.

Rose just smiled sadly at him, her face began to whiten but her eyes still stayed bright. Oh, he was tempted to use a regeneration to save her, all of them if he had too. But she had asked him not to so, the Doctor held Rose closer to him, her body began to cool. He sobbed into her shoulder, cradling her. He looked up as he heard footsteps, a tall man sprinted away. As much as his mind told him not too; the Doctor would get revenge on Rose's death, even if it did take forever.

"Rose." The Doctor rasped, sitting up in bed.

His clothes stuck to him and he breathed heavily. The warm body next to him gently placed a hand on his back.

"What's wrong?" Her smooth, sweet voice calmed him down instantly.

"Just another nightmare." He said blandly.

"This is the second time tonight." The Doctor looked over at her.

Her blond hair tangled wildly from sleep, making it seem like she has a golden halo. Her eyes full of worry and sleep, making them seem as soft as ever. It was his Rose.

"It's just a nightmare." Rose sat up, "It's bothering you."

The Doctor pulled Rose too him and tucked his head into her neck. Tears streamed down his face. She soothed him, rubbing his back, shushing him as he sobbed. He breathed in her sent, her sweetness filled his senses. A hint of her honey perfume from earlier tonight, but it was mostly just Rose. Something he couldn't describe, it was just, Rose.

"Are you going to tell me?" The Doctor took a shaky breath, "It's the same dream. I keep losing you, and it scared me to death."

Rose nodded, "You're not gonna get rid of me that easily."

"Like Torchwood. I almost lost you there."

Rose kissed his cheek, "But I'm still here, aren't I?"

He nodded before lying back down. Rose watched his body started to tense as he tried to keep away sleep. She laid next to him, wrapping her arm around his chest and tangled her legs in his. He leaned into her warmth, letting himself go.

"I'm surprised you haven't left me." He whispered.

Rose set her head on his shoulder, her hair tickling his face, "What'd you mean?"

"I'm one of the loneliest people in the universe. I'm a mad man. But you're still here."

"Because I wouldn't be me if I hadn't met you." The Doctor took Rose's hand, "So many other people out there. You chose me."

"Because I love you." She whispered.

"Rose, I- I..."

Rose pulled herself closer to him, "I know."

"Please don't leave me tonight."

"I wouldn't want to be anywhere else."
