Authors Note: Hey guys! Long time no story/update, huh? Yeah. Sorry about that! Well. I recently became VERY obsessed with Doctor Who. And I'm sorry to say it but I have lost complete interest in basically every other story I've written on the site. Heh heh Don't kill me! *runs away*. But I really hope I can keep up with this one, and I hope you enjoy it! Sadly I do not have a beta for this, I don't think I need one (yes I do but no) because I would just get confused and end up posting worse shit then my unedited chapters I put up because I must. So, without further ado: please enjoy my new story!

Chapter 1:
Rose stared out the window of Marvin's, the closest chipper to her apartment in the Powell Estates. How she ended up here on Earth while The Doctor was out traversing the galaxies was unknown. They had been traveling together for just about five years now, but of course it's hard to keep track when you're on the TARDIS.
A few months ago, The Doctor in all his 10th regeneration wonder had up and left her. On Christmas. Bad things always seemed to happen on Christmas and The Doctor leaving Rose to rot on Earth was just the latest in their five year streak.
Over the months, Rose had given up on most things. She stopped dying her hair, letting the line of blonde descend down the side of her head like a rock climber propelling down the side of a mountain. She'd stopped caring about what people thought of her, and wore the Doctor's blue button down every day. She wouldn't let her Mum wash it, claiming that it was the only thing connecting them and if the shirt stayed the same so would he. The only time Rose took the shirt off was so she could shower or sleep. It was getting to the point where Jackie would search for the damned button down every night just to get rid of it because Rose was so damned good at hiding things.
Rose didn't know why the Doctor had left her. They'd just been popping by her Mum's to say hello when he had told her that her TARDIS key wasn't connected anymore and needed to be fixed. He'd taken the key, and fled to the TARDIS with Rose still inside the Powell Estates. She hadn't even known he'd dematerialized until nightfall.
But Rose knew he'd be back. "He just has to come back. He can't just leave me here" She found herself repeating the words in her head almost every minute of the day. "I just know he hasn't left me. I'm not like Sarah Jane! He cant've left me like he left her, yeah?"
"Rose hun. Please come back home with us. It's getting late."
"He's not comin' tonight, Rose. Come away from the window."
"Sweet'eart we only want the best for you."
"Rose, please. Just get over 'im, he's not coming back."
"I know what'll cheer you up! A nice cuppa, yeah?"
"Babe, he's gone."
"Rose I'm worried. Come away from the window, yeah? He's not out there. He's not comin' back. Come home sweet'eart."
"JUST SHUT UP!" She said slamming her fists down on the table. "He's coming back for me. He said he'd come back for me. I don't give a damn if you two don't bloody believe it! Just leave me ALONE!" Rose got up from her seat and pushed past her mother and…what was Mickey? Her boyfriend? Her best friend? No, neither of those. "He's the bloody Tin Dog" She thought bitterly as she trudged back to the Powell Estates. The wind whipped her half brown, half blonde hair into her face, and the rain stung against her pink cheeks. "Just you wait and see, Tin Dog, he's coming back for me." She concluded, stepping in a muddy puddle.
"Damn you, Doctor."
