Here is the second chapter! (Yes, I am still alive and well!)
The End of the World.
The end of the World.
I never actually thought about it before. Not like this, at least. Whenever I stumbled onto an idea such as this, I either dismissed it, or just laughed at myself for thinking such thoughts.
But today, that all changed.
I watched the Earth perish. Disintegrate into fragments of mere dirt.
I watched the Sun as it corrupted into flames.
I watched it all die.
The human race. The brilliant idiotic human race. Years of pain, effort, creativity, imagination, belief, war, peace, life.
And what to show for it?
Rubble.
Scalded rubble.
The worst part of it was that everybody was too busy fighting for their own lives to witness the deaths of so many others.
I felt tears well in my eyes as I watched each burning portion float past me. Never in my days of living would I have ever imagined something like this.
Whenever I looked towards the stars, I always thought of them as scenery. Something that made the World beautiful.
But I had no idea that they were blazing meteors. Could it be what I thought to be beautiful lights were actually remains of a far off planet that once held life?
There could have been a planet in the distance watching the Earth shrivel into flaming ash, and think it was spectacular.
Perhaps when I was a shop girl, I was simpler.
Maybe traveling with the Doctor will help me. Open my eyes a bit.
But would I be better off not seeing?
Of course I wouldn't! Traveling with the Doctor is the best thing that has ever happened to me!
But I just wish he would be more aware of my feelings towards where we go. End of the Earth? Not a good idea.
But he took me along with him. He didn't have too. He could have gone alone. But no, he did it for me. And I should be thanking him instead of being here, moping about what happens in 5 billion years.
He stood by me as the World collapsed, watching me.
My eyes were glazed like misted glass, tears pricking.
He took my hand, and led me away from the window. A strange sensation reaped throughout my stomach.
He understood me better than I thought he did.
"Rose, it'll be Ok. The Earth has been deserted for 1.216 million years now. Nobody died down there. Promise."
His words comforted me slightly, but it still couldn't cover up the feeling of distraught from watching everything I once knew smolder to nothing.
He then smiled sympathetically at me.
"C'mon. Let's go."
When we got back too the TARDIS, I slumped over the jump seat, my emotions scattered.
He glanced up at me over the console.
"You alright?"
I blinked, and dropped my shoulders, urging a smile.
"Y-Yeah,
F-Fine thanks."
He crossed his arms in an unconvinced fashion.
"You sure?"
I threw my glance to the floor, and nodded.
"No you're not," He walked over to me, and gave me a hug. "I'm sorry."
I shook my head, and gave him a watery smile.
"I should be the one who's sorry. I'm here being gloomy, while you are giving me the World." Her eyes wandered upon the Doctor once more.
"Sorry. And thanks, you know, for taking me along."
He smiled, and patted Rose's back.
"'S a pleasure!"
He shuffled back to the console, and started leaping around, flicking random buttons and knobs to his own content.
And guess where he took me?
Yep, a chip shop.
Who had to pay?
Again, yep, me.
Oh, hang on one sec, the Doctor is calling. He gets cranky / anxious if I wait too long.
I'll write again soon x
