Disclaimer: Still don't own Doctor Who! Sorry Another one of my own words!
Child
The Doctor stood to the side as the little girl with blonde pigtails ran through the leaves on her way home from her first day of school. She gazed at the sky, ignoring whatever story the little boy next to her, whom the Doctor could only assume was Mickey, was telling. She kicked the colored leaves. The Doctor's heart melted when her mouth opened for the first time.
"I don't care, Mickey."
"Mummy, I'm gonna travel through time and save the world!" Rose squealed. The Doctor smiled from his place on the fountain.
Soon enough, little Rose, soon enough.
"Don't be ridiculous, Rose!" her mother scolded. The Doctor's smile vanished. Jackie's phone rang and she walked off to answer it, leaving little Rose to shuffle her feet on the sidewalk for a good ten minutes. The Doctor seized the opportunity.
"Hey there, Rose," he greeted, squatting to her level. She raised an eyebrow. "Don't listen to your mum. You'll live that dream, Rose. I know you will." Rose smiled and hugged the stranger. The Doctor started to tear. She wouldn't remember him when he meets her in about, say, fourteen years. She would forget all about him.
He followed her down the street one day. It was her birthday, her tenth, and she couldn't take it. She ran for her life down that deserted road, toward an empty grass field. She picked up a handful of rocks and threw them as hard as she could. She has so much anger built up inside her tiny frame. Her dad was dead, her mum was out with a new guy every night, and her own mother forgets her birthday! She had no one. No one at all. For the longest time Rose was empty. And she wouldn't feel full again for nine years when she met the man of her dreams.
In the shadows, the Doctor watched as Rose sat down the in the grass with her best friend, Lizzie.
"I just get this feeling. Almost like there's someone watchin' over me," Rose whispered, after a long silence.
"Well, yeah. I mean your dad's watchin' you from up there, isn't he?" Lizzie asked. Rose mumbled an agreement.
"But it's not just my dad. Everywhere I go, I've been seein' this man. A tall, dorky man with glasses and a pinstriped suit," she confessed. The Doctor looked down at his suit.
He wasn't that dorky, was he?
"Rose Tyler, you're mad. I've been around for as long as I can remember but I've seen no dorky man on your tail," Lizzie replied, rolling her eyes.
"He spoke to me once."
"What? You're joking!"
"No, I'm not! When I was like, five. My mum was yelling at me for wanting to be a time traveler in the park. She got a call from her boyfriend and he came over and told me not to give up. 'You'll live that dream, Rose.' He said. It was so weird." The Doctor's heart swelled. She remembered him!
He watched the scene where he had met Rose as his previous form.
Wow, my hears were huge. Rose had true feelings for the Doctor. He could see it. In every instance where she had travelled with him, a huge grin was plastered on her face and love burned in her eyes. The Doctor shoved his hands in his jacket pockets and headed back to the TARDIS. He had watched his Rose grow up. He had seen her for the last time. And as he recalled the last moment her talked to her, the last moment he had seen her at Bad Wolf Bay, he whispered that one confession he never got the chance to say.
"Rose Tyler, I love you."
(A/N) Sorry, that wasn't my best. I wanted to see if I could write a chapter without Rose travelling with him, but it's really hard!
