Sorry busy times lately. also I'm just going to apologise for the next few chapters If you thought the others I'd written were bad these are worse Sorry :(. I wish i could say it will improve I fear it may not. Oh and if any of you are wondering who Erin is I've a few ideas for stories that I didn't want to use Gill for as her story I'm planning on becoming quite final. so I though A whole new companion would be fun. Stay tuned for when the Doctor meets Erin.
Gill let herself be dragged back into the hall by Edward she looked longingly back to the Doctor and where he was sitting she saw the pain etched on his face. Gill had a funny feeling he was about to tell her he loved her but Edward had stolen that chance from him she felt his icy grip somehow his hand didn't quite fit hers the same way the Doctors had it was like a mismatch but a very subtle one. Edward held her and they danced to the next couple of songs she slowly began forgetting about the Doctor as Edward whispered sweet nothings in her ear.
Just as the song ended Edward looked down at her they held each others' gaze Edward seemed to begin to move in for a kiss Gill closed her eyes.
There was a loud screeching of feedback from the stage Gill's eyes snapped open and she covered her ears they turned towards the stage there stood Alice with a microphone in front of her.
"Hi! Hope you're all having a good night!" she said smiling there were cheers from the crowd. "I'd like to introduce you all to my friend John Smith!" a tall skinny man appeared beside her Gill vaguely recognised the silhouette
Alice continued "tonight he's going to perform for you a song he'd like to dedicate to the love of his life. Who coincidentally is in the room!"
Alice stepped back down off the stage to stand with Jasper.
The man stepped forward into the spotlight. "This is for you Gill!" he said as the band struck up
"In the light of the sun
Is there anyone
All the lies we've spun
My dear you look so lost
Your eyes are red
With tears you've shed
This world you must have crossed
She said
You don't know me and you don't even care
Oh yeah
You don't know me oh you don't wear my chains
Oh yeah
Essential yet appealed
You Carry all your thoughts
Across an open field
Well the flowers gaze at you
They're not the only ones
Who cry when they see you?
You said
You don't know me and you don't even care
Oh yeah
You said you don't know me and you don't wear my chains"
Gill gasped she didn't recognise the Doctor but she felt a rollercoaster of emotions welling up inside her. Her heart ached for him she longed to run up to the stage and embrace him but she wanted to stay with Edward one side of her brain was urging her to go the other to stay.
The Doctor made his way down onto the dance floor the crowd parted letting him through eventually he came to where Gill and Edward stood he gazed into Gills eyes as he continued to sing to her tears fell silently down his cheeks. He finished. "Gill you complete me! Come away with me."
Gill stood stunned for a moment she felt overwhelmed her heart broke for Edward but her love for the Doctor was stronger she turned to Edward and embraced him " I'm sorry! I'm so sorry!" she whispered in his ear tears streaming down her face "I hope you'll understand some day!"
With that she took the Doctors hand and he led her to the door once they were outside the Doctor threw his arms round her picked her up and carried her off into the woods. They arrived at a strange looking blue box although Gill had the feeling she'd seen it somewhere before the Doctor set her gently on her feet. She walked over and examined it. Gill reached out and touched the wooden panelled exterior it felt warm to touch she gasped "it's alive!" she could swear she could feel a pulse. With a jolt she flashed back she was lying on a table three hideous monsters circled around her chanting there was a whooshing noise as the TARDIS suddenly materialized she flashed forward " the TARDIS!" she cried she turned to the Doctor he was grinning from ear to ear he opened his arms towards her she ran into his embrace.
"It's good to have you back!" whispered the Doctor tears running down his face.
Gill pulled back confused "where you with me before?"
Gill flashed back she stepped out of the TARDIS surrounded by woodland Edward was there.
She gasped " what have I done!" Gill pulled away from the Doctor "you weren't with me at all Edward was there I must go back to him!" and she took off running back through the woods calling out Edwards name. "NO!" the Doctor yelled running after her
Gill tripped and landed awkwardly she felt her ankle snap and pain flooded through her she could barely feel the grazes and scratches that covered her face. "Stay away from me!" she sobbed clutching her broken ankle. The Doctor slowed as he approached her. "Let me take a look" he said softly "I am a Doctor"
"I don't know who you are!" replied Gill affronted
"Trust me!" he said his brown eyes meeting her blue ones. He stooped down Gill sat staring at him warily as he prodded her ankle and ran his little blue wand thing over it. "You've broken your ankle" he said looking up at her again "it's ok though I have medical equipment on the TARDIS I can use to mend it in a jiffy." He winced "jiffy! Eugh remind me never to use that word again!"
Gill couldn't help but laugh
"That's better!" The Doctor flashed her sincere smile "c'mon" he said "let's get you to the med bay" with that he picked her up and carried her back to the TARDIS.
