"Rose"
Rose awoke to the sound of her usual morning alarm and almost got up until she remembered the other night. The strange mannequin people and the even stranger man who grabbed her hand and told her to run. The man who blew up her work.
No point in getting up then.
She settled back down under her covers and sighed.
She didn't know who he was or where he came from. She didn't honestly know how she felt about the whole situation either. Part of Rose was afraid of the Doctor and part of her hoped she'll see him again but all of her felt confused.
She felt oddly drawn to him. Like a moth to a flame. Rose chuckled slightly at that thought. He blew up her work and part of her didn't want to run away. If anything, she wanted to help him. She didn't know why but looking at that odd man with the leather Jacket and big ears stirred something in her almost like a memory. Almost like she knew him.
Which was impossible of course since she'd never met him before. You don't forget a man like that.
Rose had never thought much of herself. No job. No A-levels. Nothing that really made her special. When the shop dummy was moving towards her a part of her was ready for whatever was to come. When the Doctor saved her, she managed to convince herself it was just a student playing tricks but deep down she knew it was more than that. She knew she was going to die and for just a moment she accepted it.
Until he grabbed her hand.
In that brief moment of contact Rose felt complete. She felt adrenaline and the need to live rush through her. She didn't want that feeling to end. In less than five minutes her whole life was turned upside down. Yeah, she still had her mom and Mickey to take care of and that should've been enough for her. But it wasn't. They were all Rose had ever known and in that last second where she thought she was going to die she realized she wanted more. She wanted to travel and see things and meet people. She wanted to walk in distant lands that she'd only ever seen on T.V. and meet people who she'd only heard of from others.
People like the Doctor. The man that had just happened to be there in the second she needed someone the most. The insane man that ran back into the building after saving her.
And that was truly insane.
If Rose was being honest with herself she'd admit that their quick exchange had changed her life. She'd lost her job and somehow that was a good thing. Maybe she could go to school or find a new job or travel a bit. Get some more life in her before it was over.
And for some unknown reason Rose thought the Doctor could help her with that. If he was still alive of course. But Rose knew he was and he was out there somewhere. She questioned how she could possibly know that but came up empty. She just knew that if he was dead she'd know.
Rose laughed at all the insane thoughts rushing through her head. She didn't know anything about this man and she'd probably never see him again. She had to move on with her life and do what she'd always done. Look out for her mum and Mickey.
Rose sighed and pulled the blankets back over her head. She was just tired.

First chapter up! I don't know if anyone is reading and Rose and 9/10 fanfiction anymore but I hope so. This chapter is a bit rough and jumpy but hopefully the next few ones will improve. If I get any reviews I'll try and update every day. If not I'll update less :) Thanks all
