To celebrate no flames on this chapter(so far) and three wonderful people: The Physician(anonymous), DoctorWhoIsMyLife, and Awahili(also anonymous, I really liked your review!) for leaving such beautiful and uplifting comments for my story and making my day so much better, I decided to update again today! Thank them now! haha :D
Chapter 4
"Well?" The Doctor asked her. But Rose remained silent. Wiping a stray tear from her eye she merely walked out of the console room towards her bedroom. The Tenth Doctor stood there, bewildered and wondering what Rose had seen in his future.
Rose stood in the middle of her bedroom, holding the letter in her hands.
"No, you can't read this yet. It's imperative that you keep this letter on you at all times. Don't read it until...Until he says this in your ear: 'I love you.'"
"I won't forget Doctor." She whispered.
(Bad Wolf Bay: 2006)
Rose stood on the sandy beach in shock. As her mother embraced her, tears fell down her eyes unashamedly.
"You said we had three years." She whispered, sobbing.
That night she nearly opened the letter. Sitting on her bed, the letter lay within her hands.
"But he was so close to saying it Doctor." She pleaded with the Future Doctor she had met a few months ago. But he couldn't hear her. Finally Rose made a resolution.
I'm going to make it back, I'm going to hear him say those words in my ear.
She resolved to make it back to him, with the letter unread.
And so she did.
(Bad Wolf Bay: 2008)
"When I last stood on this beach, on the worst day of my life, what was the last thing you said to me? Go on, say it!" He's so close.
"I said 'Rose Tyler'."
"Yeah...and how was that sentence gonna end?"
"Does it need saying?" Suddenly it clicked in Rose's mind. Her Doctor would never say those words to her until after he regenerated.
Like an icy knife had been plunged into her chest, Rose turned to the other Doctor, the clone Doctor.
"And you Doctor? What was the end of that sentence?" Rose's heart quickened as the clone leaned over to her ear.
Don't read it until...Until he says this in your ear:
"I love you." For a moment Rose forgot all about the future Doctor's revelation. All she could think about was this Doctor confessing his love to her. As she grabbed his lapels and pulled him in for a passionate kiss, a desperate voice spoke in her mind, so real she couldn't have imagined it.
"Don't leave me Rose Tyler." She suddenly released the clone Doctor and turned to her Doctor, the real Doctor. But he was gone.
All she could see in her mind was the Eleventh Doctor with tears in his eyes.
Holding back her sobs she whispered.
"Don't leave me Doctor."
(That night at the Tyler mansion)
Rose quietly entered her room and shut the door, locking it behind her. Making her way over to the bed she pulled the extremely worn letter out of her pocket. The letter. The letter she had waited two years to read. The letter the future Doctor had given her to read on this very day.
With her hands shaking she slowly opened the envelope. Pulling out a sheet of faded white paper she gazed at the carefully scripted words.
Rose Tyler:
If you are reading this letter, it is the day that your clone Doctor has told you that he loves you.
I know you're probably thinking about me right now, how I'll ever survive without you. Well that question is hard to answer. I don't know how I will, or how I have so far.
I have just recently regenerated, and still I clearly remember the day where you made yourself known to my past and my future. And I await the day when you finally appear in my future. My very hope rests on that day.
But by the time you have read this that day has already passed for you.
I hope your expectations of me will still be the same as they were for my past.
But for now, don't worry about me. I'll still miss you, and you will forever hold my hearts in your hands. But I have others, traveling with me, who ease the burden of my pain.
There's Amy Pond, and her boyfriend Rory. Sometimes it hurts me to see them and think that it could've been us. But every time I think that I see you and your clone Doctor. The way we should've been, and I'm sorry. So please give this Doctor all your love, the way he will love you, as you both rightly deserve.
Speaking of Amy, I want you to know that no girl will ever hold a place in my heart the way you do in mine. From when I said 'run' to you all those years ago, up until New Years Day 2005 when I said you would have a great year(and the last time I ever saw you), you have always been the woman of my heart. And I thank you for changing my life for the better.
Always: Your Doctor
