The Past Always Repeats Itself

Chapter 3

What Was Never Meant To Happen

It didn't feel real…time had just…stopped. The three of us just stood there staring at each other. No words were said, no hugs were given. Not even a smile. It was as though none of us trusted the other. She looked so scared, she looked almost exactly the same as that horrible day.

Finally I couldn't take it anymore…"Siobhan?" It came out shaky and weak (which perfectly described what I was at the moment). Her head snapped towards me her, she was very aware…she was being cautious as if she didn't really trust us. I didn't feel myself start to walk towards her. I didn't even realize I was crying until she ever so gently reached out to wipe a stray tear away. She gave me a weak smile and I gently leaned forward to hug her. She stiffened but after a few really awkward moments she hugged me back, Siobhan was back. That was the only thing I could process.

I had completely forgotten about the Doctor until I felt someone else hugging us…it was the Doctor. We all just sat there in this little friendship hug, we all knew something was wrong with this situation but at that moment none of us actually cared. She finally pulled away, she was shaking and I didn't know how to help her. I didn't know what had happened over the past year I didn't know what she had been through. All I knew how to do was be her friend. I got up giving her a slight smile before holding my hand out. I saw her hesitate but was relieved when she took it.

She looked between the Doctor and I and was quickly pulled into another hug by the Doctor. I just watched them, I knew he needed this. While I may have been closer to her the Doctor was majorly impacted and changed by her disappearance. Once he finally let her go he just kept his hands on her shoulders, he just stared into her eyes. There was so much emotion in them, it almost broke me to see him like that. He finally turned to me with pained eyes "Kate please take Siobhan to her room." I nodded knowing he needed the time by himself. Siobhan seemed confused but content in going to her room. I gave her space as we walked up the staircase not wanting to overwhelm her with questions and being close. As we were rounding the staircase to go to her room I noticed the Doctor watching us…he seemed so broken?

I was worried, I didn't want to be tricked I had been tricked before and I didn't want it to happen again. I didn't want to lose her. I couldn't help but wonder if the Doctor was thinking the same thing. 'Is that why he was being so distant? Is that why he doesn't want to get too close to her? Is he scared about losing her too?' Once we reached Siobhan's room I was about to walk inside but she stopped me at the doorway…"Is something wrong?" I asked confused. "I actually would like to be myself right now…I'll talk to you later after I get settled." There was no room for questions as she gently shut the door in my face… 'Well that was odd.'
