The Stolen Child
Chapter ten:
"I'm going to see if Gemma and Derek want to take a walk; it's such a lovely day…" Suit said awkwardly. Bow Tie had his laser eyes locked on to me, and it felt as if my soul was on fire. We remained still like statues until the TARDIS door closed behind Suit as he left. Without thinking I lifted a hand to my lips, still feeling his pressed to mine. Bow Tie continued to stare and I finally spoke up.
"What do you want me to say? I'm sorry? Oh, forgive me for being human and letting myself get caught up in a moment that certainly never happens to Time Lords. Is that what you want to hear?!" I asked him my voice raising a little. I watched as his firm jaw clenched and he tried not to let his anger explode out all at once like a bomb. He took a deep breath in through his nose.
"I want you to explain yourself!"
"Who are you, my mother?! I yelled back throwing my sketch book on the ground in rage. I headed for the door to go find a place to calm down but he grabbed my wrist tightly and twisted me around to face him.
"I want an explanation for what I just saw," He said, his jaw so tight I could almost hear his teeth clacking together.
"What more is there to tell?! I kissed him! What's the bloody deal?"
"The deal is that he is my past! You're meddling with things you shouldn't be!"
"Oh mister know it all…time is being rewritten! Obviously this paradox has thrown a wrench into your game of charades Doctor! If that's your past then you know what he's feeling right now! That pain and loneliness he's feeling, the heartthrob of getting over Rose. I'm just doing what companions are supposed to do: keep you company! Or did you forget that? But in this case I have two of you to try and please so forgive me if you've got a case of the green eyes monster!" I snapped. He jabbed a finger at me in outrage.
"Snogging is not part of the deal!" My Doctor quipped back a fierce scowl on his face. I scoffed at him and sneered mockingly my eyes rolling back into my head a little.
"Oh, right…so when you snogged me that doesn't count right? Because you're Casanova and you can snog who ever you like. You use to be so full of love when Rose was around. I see that in him still. I don't see it in you. She gave you life! Then you got married and now you're just old and bitter! Does River know what a mean old bean you really are? What a crotchety and angry man you are inside?" I shouted my hands waving about in the air in anger. He rounded on me and got in my face making it clear I had crossed a line.
"How dare you bring River up! You leave her out of this you hear me?! She loves me more than you could even reverie!"
"Deaf, blind and thick I see. You sod don't you get it yet?" I screamed stepping away from him. I turned my back on him and wiped the few angry tears that were clinging to my eyelashes.
"Get what?"
"You see?! I love you, you dumb ass! But clearly you don't care. I didn't mean to kiss the other Doctor and the only reason why I did it was because I know he becomes you eventually…" The angry tears began to turn into tears of sadness. I sat down on the seat nearby my back still turned on him.
"Pip…"
"No, I don't want to hear it! Leave me alone!" I cried not looking at him.
"And never you fear the TARDIS isn't going anywhere while I'm here. I can't fly it remember? Or are you thick enough you didn't know that either?" I snipped. There was no sound for a minute or two, then I heard him sigh and his footsteps going down the stairs and out the door. I waited to hear the door click closed. I didn't even hear the click of the lock closing and keeping me inside of the ship. Once I knew he was gone I broke down and cried. I don't know how long I cried for but I cried until I feel asleep.
