Doctor Who Fan Fiction - Ten/Rose
She isn't Rose
Why? What was it about Rose Tyler that made me lose sight of everything Id learned over my 900 plus years of life? What was it about that one girl that made me long for her return, for her to be holding my hand again, for her to be running by my side once more? Id lost so many. So many companions I cared about, yet it had never had this effect. It had never left me in pain. In real, heartbreaking pain that I just can't seem to rid myself of.
Rose. Her name haunts me. Following me wherever I go, paining me, yet at the same time, giving me something to fight for, a reason to live. She was my reason to keep going. Yet I still couldn't tell you why. Love? That much was obvious, but why love. What was it about her that made her so different, what was it that made me love her so much?
I could name so many qualities I loved about her. Like her courage and bravery, her ability to never back down from a fight, even in the knowledge that it was a losing battle. Her amazing smile, that seemed to make every pain I felt at that very moment disappear. Then again, you can love qualities about someone and not be in love with them. And of course, she had her downfalls. Like her peroxide blonde hair, or her typically common human accent, or maybe even the fact that she was, just human. All of the things that I hated, yet at the same time, loved and missed so much. I guess maybe that's the key. The key to loving someone, acceptance. Accepting their negatives and still caring about them. Accepting that no-ones perfect, because if they were, you couldn't love them anyway, because then there'd be no downfalls to accept, therefore no love. Okay, now I'm aware that I'm rambling and hardly making any sense at all, but maybe that's one of my downfalls. One of the downfalls rose learned to love about me.
Then there is Martha. I could see many people being attracted to her. I'd be lying if I said that she wasn't attractive. Id also be lying if I said that I couldn't see anyone falling in love with her, because I could see the reasons they would. But then again, she had her downfalls, and one of which I could never accept about her…
She isn't Rose.
