Ch. 02 - Impossible

-Clara-

Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! I can't believe my Doctor is John, a friend my father always brought up how much he was missed. Great. Thank God more guests arrived and I could excuse myself, I ran to Amy's side and grabbed her arm.

"Please, just come." She nodded and followed me inside the house. We went to my old room and sat down on my bed. I noticed my hands were shaking and Amy also noticed it.

"What's going on Clara? Are you alright?" I shook my head.

"The Doctor's here! He's my father's friend from Glasglow! I don't know what to do, I'm not used to this kind of situation I can't control. I thought I'd never see him again." Amy laughed.

"Calm down, your control freak is showing. Didn't you like him?" I nodded. "So go talk to him! This is totally destiny showing you the way." I rolled my eyes.

"Stop saying nonsense to me Amy. I need help!"

"Clara, just go talk to him. Stop being such a child and handle this as an adult. He's probably alone there because I think he doesn't know anyone beside your dad. Be nice and say hello to him." She held my hand and took me back to the backyard. I noticed Danny Pink, math's teacher, talking to my dad. Oh man, what have I done to deserve this? Amy laughed. "And things just got better. Does he still hit on you?"

"Everyday." I sighed walking past Danny and going to The Doctor. Amy pulled Rory and they went after me. "Hello." I said sitting beside him, he looked at me and smiled.

"Hello." Awkward silence. I had no idea what to do or say. Amy took pity on me.

"Hi, I'm Amy and this is Rory. So Doctor, how are you? Clara didn't shut up about you last night." Amy said and I felt like slapping her. He smirked at me, that fucker.

"Oh really? What were you on about Clara?" He kept that ridiculous smirk on his face. I was blushing like there was no tomorrow.

"I was just saying how nice our night went, right John?" I knew I had smashed that smirk out of his face when he, himself, started blushing.

"Oooh, Rory I guess this is our cue to go, the tension here is so thick there's not space for us." Amy said and pulled Rory by the hand, poor guy he was so confused.

The Doctor smiled at me and shyly touched my hand. I went to hold his hand but he backed away.

"I'm not good with this touching thing." My eyes widened. That didn't make any sense, I mean he more than touched me last night and didn't flinch once.

"Were you drunk last night?" He shook his head.

"No, but it was just you and me that one time, I wasn't supposed to see you again, and I'm sorry for saying this but you're fucking hot, so I let go. Clara I'm not boyfriend material, even if you weren't Dave's daughter I could never give you what you need." I smirked.

"And what do you think I need?" He looked down.

"A man who can love you and have a family with you. Your dad said you're a schoolteacher so you probably like kids and all..." I interrupted him.

"Calm down John, let's not think ahead of ourselves, right? Let's just enjoy each other's company, what do you say?" He stared at my father that was coming our way with Danny following soon after. I couldn't stand my father when he acted that way. I didn't like Danny and he knew that.

"Clara, Danny is here." My dad said and I rolled my eyes, the Doctor chuckled.

"Hi Danny." I said not moving a muscle to get up. Danny bent down to hug me anyway.

"Hi darling! How have you been?" He asked and I decided I needed to be rude or he'd be around me for the whole party.

"Same as I was when you last saw me on Friday." My dad glared at me. Danny looked down and excused himself knowing that today I wasn't having a good day.

"Clara Oswald, what the hell was that? He was just saying hello." My dad spat out on me.

"No, he wasn't and you know that. How many times do I have to tell you that I DON'T LIKE HIM, not even as friends. He's delusional to think we'll ever have something just because he kissed me once, and I he thought I kissed him back." Dad sighed.

"Will you ever settle down Clara?" I laughed without no humor at all.

"Who knows?"

-Doctor-

Clara left and Dave sat in her seat.

"I don't know why she dislikes Danny so much, he teaches math in the same school she works, he's good looking and nice. All a girl could ever want." That was weird, a father trying to find his daughter a boyfriend. Especially when he had such a beautiful daughter, Clara surely didn't need that.

"Maybe it's because you're kinda forcing him on her. Can't she pick for herself?" Dave shook his head then looked down taking a deep breath.

"Clara only had two serious boyfriends in her life and both of them were around 10 years older than her." I felt like I was punched on the stomach, I was at least 20 years older than her. He would never accept us, not that there was any us for him to accept.

"How old is she?"

"28 and I don't want her to find someone in his forties to marry. Can you imagine that? It would be a disgrace." Another punch. Harder this time.

"What's the problem with older guys? Are you and Linda the same age?" He smirked.

"It's just disgusting to think of men few years younger than me looking at my little girl that way. And yes, Linda is also 50, though she likes to tell people she's 45." I laughed but in reality, I was so nervous I felt like I could throw up any minute.

After a few minutes I excused myself and went to the restroom, but it was occupied, so I decided to go find one inside the house. The minute I walked in I saw Amy and Rory making out in the couch and Clara sitting on the stairs looking down. I put my hand on her shoulder lightly so I wouldn't startle her. She looked at me.

"I feel like throwing up." She said, I noticed she wasn't alright and had a bottle of vodka beside her. I helped her up and tried to walk up the stairs with her, but she could barely walk so I picked her up in my arms and carried her upstairs.

"Where's your room Clara?" She shook her head and started laughing. "Please Clara, tell me where your room is, you need to lie down." She closed her eyes.

"I feel fine here." I smiled.

"Love, please?" Then I heard someone behind us. Linda. How wonderful!

"Her room is that one. She's such a stupid girl for getting this drunk in her own father's birthday." I rolled my eyes. No one insults my Clara that way and get away with it. NO, where the hell did this come from? She wasn't my Clara.

"If I had a step-mother like you I'd be drunk as well." Then I marched to her room.

After putting her to bed I went downstairs to get her a glass of water when I saw Linda again.

"Have you met Clara before? I remember Dave telling me that you started having some problems with touching people after your fiancée cheated on you." She came to put her hand on my arm and I flinched. "Interesting, Dave was right yet you were holding Clara quite intimaly." That woman was evil.

"What are you insinuating? Should have I let her fall down the stairs? Now excuse me 'cause I don't need to deal with your bullshit right now." I went to Clara's room and saw she was nowhere to be found, then I heard a noise in the bathroom and saw her throwing up on the toilet. I did the unthinkable for me and helped her, held her hair and all.

About an hour, a shower and changing clothes later Clara was able to go back to the party. She still looked kinda tipsy but nothing compared to the state I found her. She glared at Amy and Rory, probably for not helping her at all and came to sit next to me.

"Thank you, if my dad saw me in that state I would never hear the end of it." She moved to hold my hand and I tried to take it away but she was faster. Of course our hands were under the table but still, that felt so weird.

"Linda saw us." She rolled her eyes.

"And I could care less, she hates me so my dad doesn't pay attention to anything she says about me." I smirked, that girl was impossible. My impossible girl.
