Hi! Just wanted to say I don't own Doctor Who, unfortunately. Any references to anyone is purely coincidental, blah blah...;) Enjoy the story, and review for next chapter! :)
CHAPTER 1.
Hi there. My name is Leah Walker. I'm 17 years old, and a dancer of 11 years. I'm home schooled, and I love music, and Doctor Who. Some might say obsessed, honestly. But…I suppose they're right. I mean, when someone starts dreaming that the Doctor will come save them one day in his TARDIS flying through the sky? Yeah. You can call me obsessed.
But it's an escape. And a good one at that. I have a great life, don't get me wrong. Wonderful family. Parents have been together for 36 years, and my brother and sister both in their 30's and married with kids.
I was the surprise child. They always wished for another baby girl though, and that's me! Anyway. Homeschooled, not exactly unsocial though. I have friends. Good ones. I had a best friend. I lost her. Not death, but might as well have been. She changed. So drastically I wonder if the other her ever really existed, but that story is for another time. So good friends, good family. What's so messed up about her life that she wants to fly away with a madman in a box? Well.
That's my secret to know.
But to everyone else, the reason could be the pain that cuts at me every time I think of my past. Guys that have hurt me even though I've never had a boyfriend. Or the girl I was telling you about. Mary Beth was her name. Maybe it's my thirst for travel. Maybe it's the fact I'm practically in love with the Doctor. I just know that I desperately wish, just for a moment, that he could come swooping in and take me somewhere. Drop me off, and I could dream about it forever.
Well, here's my story of how it came true.
I was sitting on my bed Tuesday evening, cross legged wearing a pair of dark ripped jeans, a red v neck and my starfish necklace that I don't take off. This guy, Luke, gave it to me. I'm kinda dating him. I don't like him exactly yet, but my parents love him, so I have to "give him a chance." They can be a bit overbearing sometimes. So I was on my computer, talking to my friend Kierstyn on Facebook.
Me: So Connor came out with a new video. DIDJA SEE IT
Her: No….
Me: *inserts link* WATCH ITTTT
Her: Did you see Amazingphil's new video? He's like a little lion :3
Me: Hahaha he is! And Connor's eyes are just…asdfgrdfhtjybyufmdk
Her: XDD
Then I hear the sound. A very familiar sound.
Me: Kier….
Her: Yeah?
Me: I…just heard…the TARDIS…
Her:….you're losing it.
Me: IM NOT I SWEAR. I don't have it on my phone…the T.V. is on "Untold stories of the ER" and I doubt they have time travel in that.
Her: You're just hearing things. Maybe it's your washer? –shrug-
Me: Since when did my WASHER make the sound of a wheezing TARDIS?
Her: Leah, the Doctor isn't real. You know that right? XD
Me: Yeah yeah, I'll brb.
Her: *sigh* okay.
I run to my window, Amy pond style, and see….
Nothing. Great, so I really AM going mad. I turn around to flop back on my bed and tell her that it really was just me being a fan girl. I tell her goodnight and shut off my computer. I settle under my covers and watch some T.V. for a bit, then start to drift into oblivion.
I'm almost asleep when I hear the faint sound of the TARDIS again. I'm getting irritated now, and slightly scared for my own mental sanity. Did I download the text sound on my phone by accident? Isaac did show me that he had it on his own…maybe he did it as a joke. I groan and turn over towards my door and my eyes shoot open at what I see.
The TARDIS is in the corner of my bedroom.
