Doctor. I scrawled in my messy handwriting. I need you now! I don't know who else to go to! I'm alone,I'm scared,and I think your the only one who can help me! My mom's mad again ad she's dished out her worst threat. I need a doctor... Please.
I hastilly folded the letter and clearly wrote: The Doctor'' on it. I pried the window to my bedroom open,the wind instantly whipping my hair in my face,my letter flailing around in my hand. "Please." I muttered,letting go of the letter and watching it fly into the skies of Great Britan.
Hi! Maybe I should back up a bit! I'm Julia Grey! 13 years old! I live in Manchester Britan. I traveled with the doctor..well... 's sorta hard to explain. How about I give you the basic run down of what happened!? Okay? okay!

"You just took me to world war two!" I shouted in amazement,walking around the tardis,the doctor's machine with the magic of being bigger on the inside. He smiled and sat down,propping up his Converse All-Stars on the console. "What did I tell you? I'm very good." I smiled back at him. "A-And thoes things they were just like: pew pew pew! And you went: die die die! And you were so cool and oh my gosh that was amazing!" The doctor smiled that warm happy smile at me again,shoving his hands in the pockets of his jacket. "Why don't you travel with me?"
"Travel with you? For how long?"
"as long as ya'd like! All over the universe! Any time,any place. Meet people like Albert Einstein,Ghandi,If he's not too busy Thomas Eddison!"
My heart ran at a million miles per hour. I'd never have to see my sorry excuse for a mother again! I'd go out with the doctor and be happy forever! Then,my heart dropped. I couldn't go. My mother,if the DSS saw her kid had just dissipeared,she'd go to jail. "I-I can't" I stammered.
"Oh why not!?" The doctor asked.
"My mum. If..the DSS sees her child just 'dissipeared' she'd go to jail."
The doctor nodded grimly,standing and digging in his pocket. "Here." He said,giving me a blue balled point pin. "I've read your stories. They're very good. YOu have a way with words,print. If you ever need me,write me."
"How would I get it to you?" I asked,taking the pen from him.
"The wind." He said with a final smile.
You see,when I went with the doctor in the first place I was writing in the park by my flat. writing is something I've been given the gift of I guess. When I was a kid my father would help me write books. I'd tell him what to write on the paper and when he was done I'd illustrate it.
The doctor had sat next to me,like he was just minding his own business. "Lovely day out,hm?" He asked with a cheeky grin.
"E-Excuse me?" I stammered. I've been taught that when a random stranger sits next to yo he either wants to sell you something,or will trick you into coming to his van.
"although." He said,crossing his leg. "I rather dislike this heat. Always this hot out here?"
"Erm..yeah. In the city,it's colder..I guess we don't have as many buildings and things."
"Yes. I think I prefer the city. Whats your name?"
"Lilly."
Nice to meet you Lilly! I'm the Doctor. Though I advise you not to turn around."
"Whats-" I turned to look but the odd man grabbed my head,turning me back around.
"What did I just say!?" He hissed.
"I-I'm sorry!" I managed,shaking. "What's wrong."
"Kalofrags." He muttered,fumbling inside the pocket of his long brown jacket.
"Kalo-whats!?" He pulled out a long metal object,pressing a button on it and making it produce a small whirring metalic sound. "Kalofrags." He concluded. "I might have just zapped them into world war two though. Come along!"
If I had ever followed him into that blue box,never gone to world war two with him to kill the Kalofrags with him,I would have ever found a friend.

So,that's how I met the doctor! To this day I wish I had gone with him,it's been a year and my mother's only gotten worse.
My mum sort of freaked out when my father commited suicide on us,drinking,drugs,abusing me. All I could do was hide and wait till' she calmed down.
I think I get more from my dad. I have the same shade of long brown hair and blue eyes. I've always wished it was blonde though. Maybe because when I was a kid my mother told me no one liked dirt hair. Anyways. My mom always had a sort of..dainty body style. I'm a bit more bulky,I'm not fat. At least I don't think. But my arms and legs have always been a bit larger and more muscular than usual. But I'm getting off topic.
Today,my mom had gotten mad because she couldn't find her ''adult candy'' I'll spare you the details but she blamed it on me. "I'll just kill you at midnight!" she shrieked at me. "When nobody can save you!"
I don't really think she'd kill me. She can't. I paced around my room. The doctor would come for me,he would! He had to! It was nine. I dug around in my dresser for the family size carton of crackers I kept hidden for nights like these,when my mother was mad and I couldn't come out of hiding to get dinner.
I snarfed down at least nine,I had to save them. You know what!? I thought,picking up another to eat. The doctor's coming for me! He'll find me! I don't have to save these! I can eat whenever I want when I'm with him! I gladly finished the carton of crackers and began to pack a bag for when the doctor came.
Notepad,pens,pajamas,jeans,t-shirt,soap,deoderant. I zipped up the zipper to my coral colored backpack. "What else do I need?" I wondered aloud. I suddenly remembered the things I had made in case I ever got to the doctor again resting on my dresser. I grabbed the little plastic figure of the tardis off and carefully placed it in the bag. I grabbed my MPs and some earbuds. Now,I wait. I just had to hope and pray the doctor came for me.
It was hard,but I managed to relax and stay awake,I read my collection of Percy Jackson books,the my Harry Potter books,if I ever got too tired I pricked myself with a pin or banged my head aginst the wall. 11:45. I bit my lip and closed Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaband. "he's coming." I told myself. He had to,he got the letter. I paced in my bedroom,checking my wrist watch. 11:50. Upon peeling back the curtains there was still no little blue box waiting on me. Chewing on gum,reading,listening to music,nothing calmed my nerves. 11:58. Wooerr Wooerr Reer reerrr woooerr wooer. I violently yanked my curtians back. And there,in front of my house,sat the little blue poliece call box. I've got my doctor.
As I crawled out the window I heard my door open,I turned to see my mother standing in the doorway,true to her promise. Her chest heaved up and down,red hair like fire in the light from the hallway. "OH NO YOU DON'T!" She screamed. I scrambled out,but my mom was quick,she grabbed my boot. "LEAVE ME ALONE!" I pleaded,trying to wriggle from her grasp. "YOU DON'T RUN AWAY FROM ME!" I kicked my mother in the face with my boot,stumbling her back and jumping out my window onto my lawn.
The fimilar metalic sound of the Doctor's sonic screwdriver rang out,I looked back to see my window close and lock just as my mother tried to get after me. "What took you so long!?" The doctor asked,leaning aginst the tardis. I smiled at him. "I knew you'd get my letter!" I ran to him and pulled him into a hug. "Well of course! I wouldn't leave you with her." He pointed to my mother,her teeth bared like a wild animal as she clawed at the now locked window. "So." I said,clapping my hands together. "Where to?"
"Oh but Lilly." The doctor said,opening the door to the tardis. "When to?"
"I'm feeling china,1734? You?"
"Yes,that sounds plesant! You know,I met the nicest woman,made amazing shrimp fried rice."
"Alon-sy?" I asked.
"Alon-sy." He agreed,entering.
