Always

AN: One of my favorite chapters, actually the first one I wrote. It's lovely depressing material. So enjoy, read, and review.
For the first few hours, although no one could tell, Sarah Jane Smith was trying as hard as she could not to cry. And who could have blamed her? One of the hardest things in life is losing someone you love.
But after a while, she realized that she had survived when she had to be without the first time. The second would be no different. After all, she had thought that she would never see him again then, and she knew it now.
Oh, the goodbye was so bittersweet. So utterly bittersweet. Seeing him once again made Sarah Jane's day, week, month, life. Just those precious moments they had shared she would surely hold close to her heart forever, and those times so many years before she would never, ever let go of.
But it was hard. Seeing him step back into his flying machine; walking down that familiar road to her home. But somehow, the road was different now. Now it felt complete- not that it hadn't before, but now there was something better about it.
Sarah Jane knew that one day it would all have to end, truthfully and finally. And she was glad that she got that extra gift of seeing him again, if only for a short while. But she was an adult now, and she knew she would live, with or without him.
But no matter where she went, Sarah Jane Smith would always be there for the Doctor, no matter what time, place, or regeneration.
