*Takes place a few months after Rose got stuck in the alternate dimension, so like mid-season-three.
"I can't take it anymore!"
Rose Tyler flung the magazine she was attempting to read across the room. She sunk her head into her hands, the tears falling from her eyes before she could even try to stop them.
She'd been trying; trying so hard to forget the Doctor. She'd gotten two jobs to take up her time, spent all her free time watching programs that had nothing to do with planets or science or the news, and gotten back together with Mickey.
She'd been trying to read a celebrity magazine to engross herself in the pop-culture atmosphere that was this dimension, but every single word she read pressed more memories of the Doctor against the front of her mind.
Jackie rushed across the room from where she was making tea. "Rose, sweetheart," she said gently, "I know you miss him, and I know you're upset, but what you need to know is there's nothing we can do about it." By now Jackie knew that whenever her daughter was upset, she was thinking about the Doctor.
"You don't know that," Rose breathed angrily back from between her fingers. "What if there's a way. You don't fucking know anything."
Rose's love for the Doctor blinded her from the impossible truth that she would never, ever see him again.
Jackie sighed and sat down in a chair contiguous to Rose's. "I've been through heartbreak too, Rose, I know what you're—"
"IT'S NOT THAT SIMPLE, MUM!" Rose practically shrieked as she raised her head. Her puffy hazel eyes stared daggers at her mother, who was taken aback by her daughter's sudden violence. "It's not just heartbreak. It's that he was my life. I didn't know anything but the Doctor; I still don't know anything but the Doctor. He's in my thoughts, my dreams—everything—all the time. Not a minute goes without him crossing my mind. I can't take it. I want him back. I want him back…" she trailed off into choked sobs and Jackie tentatively put her hand on her back. She was speechless; her daughter really was nothing without her Doctor. She would never tell her that, of course, but Jackie and everyone else who knew Rose Tyler in this dimension knew it.
Rose sniffed and closed her eyes in an effort to speak without her voice quavering. "I miss him so much, mum. I miss his eyes, his big brown eyes that told me everything he was thinking and not at all what he was thinking at the same time. I would just look into his eyes and everything—" she stopped for a moment to sob violently, "everything was okay. I…I miss how he was the cleverest man in the universe. I miss how he smiled at me when I knew what to do. I miss how his way of telling me he loved me was saying 'thank you.'"
Rose looked up at her mum's face, which at the moment was showing sympathy with traces of worry. "God, I miss his coat, mum. His COAT. And his converse. And that god-ugly blue suit that, when he wore it, became so sexy." Rose closed her eyes as more tears rolled down her face as the memories became too vivid for her to speak anymore.
Jackie stood up and pulled her daughter up by the hand, ignoring her reluctance and hung head. She pulled Rose into a tight hug, not wanting to say anything as to ruin the moment.
Rose eventually hugged back, wanting to never let go. "I miss my Doctor, mum."
