-Chapter 11-

Rose. The blond girl was Rose. "Rose! Rose! Rose stop!" he yelled as loud as he could and tried to run after her but Rory grabbed his arm.

"Doctor no! Don't."

"Let go Rory!" he said, his voice reminding them of his darker side. But Rory wasn't fazed.

"No, Doctor." Rory said sounding more like a centurion. Amy came running up to him.

"What were you thinking? What is wrong with you?" she half yelled at the Doctor.

"What's going on?" River asked. The doctor forced himself not to turn and yell at her.

"He hasn't…" Amy looked to Rory, he shook his head. "Oh god, OK look Doctor, you need to calm down."

"Calm down?" he said in a quieter voice. "Amy…" he closed his eyes, wanting to break down. He hurt her, she probably didn't know he was trying to pull away, to her it must have look as if he were holding River.

"I know, I know, Doctor." She said pushing Rory's hand off him so she could grab him by the shoulders and look at his face. "You should go take a walk." He didn't open his eyes, afraid of what would happen if he did. So he simply nodded and walked off.

"What was that about?" River sounding angry.

"River, that was Rose Tyler." The name still didn't click in her head. "Never mind, meet us here tomorrow, the Doctor will explain everything. I promise." Amy said giving her daughter one last hug. She grabbed Rory's hand and he gave her an apologetic look. They had to get back to the TARDIS.

Rose never stopped running until she reached the TARDIS. She flung open the doors and ran to her room. 'Hide my room' she managed to think once she was inside. The TARDIS had done it before, after that time with Madam de Pompadour so long ago.

She flung herself on the bed and cried. She just couldn't stop it. Tears poured and poured down her face, soaking her pillows. She felt her mascara running but she didn't care enough to wipe her eyes. The tears wouldn't stop.

How could he…how could he do that…

Amy and Rory sat in the console room. Amy had gone to look for Rose's room even after Rory tried to stop her. Amy had come back after a while. She couldn't find her room. The TARDIS must have hid it from them by Rose's request.

"Oh Rory what happened?"

"I don't even know. We were hiding behind a bush and she found us. She said something about that not being a proper hello and grabbed him, I mean I could tell he was trying to pull back but she wouldn't let him."

"It looked like he was holding her arms."

"No trust me he was pushing her back, I guess he was trying to do it gently considering she didn't know."

"She couldn't have known that. Oh Rory what are we going to do now? Rose loves him so much, he's her entire world, the way she talks about him…I wish she'd let me talk to her. She has to know he didn't mean to kiss River."

"She needs time Amy, time alone. She's upset, sad, and not doubt angry. She has to process everything."

"Think she'll stay?"

"Yeah, she won't leave him, no matter how bad it gets."

The Doctor walked in the rain. Wanting to go back but too afraid to. He had messed up before but never this bad. He had promised to never hurt her. Swore to her brother, swore to her he would never ever hurt her. He had broken that promise. Not on purpose but it still happened, because of him. He never wanted to be the cause of her pain; he wanted to be her comfort.

He longed to hold her, to protect her again. But would she ever let him near again? Could she ever trust him again? He sat on a bench in some park and put his head in his hands. She would eventually, he hoped.

He had hurt her...

Rose kept crying, she thought she would be all out of tears but they kept coming. He promised to never hurt her, that he would never do anything like this.

He said he loved her. Told her he loved her. He kissed her. She believed him, but was it all a lie? Maybe he did love her somewhat but it wasn't enough, he didn't lover her like she loved him. She cried harder. Why did her do this. She told him she loved him, tried to show him. She left her family for him. Everything else that ever mattered besides him she left, her brother, Sami, Jonathan, Hayley, Mickey, and Martha. She threw away everything, just to be with him, everything she loved.

And her went and kissed her, that woman, River Song. He held River, instead of her, kissed River instead of her. Was River the one he loved? Did he love River? Was she just a stupid ape to him? Rose replayed the moment she saw them over and over, then she fell asleep.

And the nightmares returned. She hadn't had these nightmares since the Doctor came back to her.

Amy was sitting in the captain's chair staring at the ground, hoping Rose would let her door be found soon. It had been about three and a half hours since she and Rory came back. Her heart broke for Rose. Then she heard a scream. She jumped up and ran for the hallway hopping the TARDIS would let her into Rose's room to help. It did, she saw Rose's pink door and breathed a sigh of relief until she heard another scream.

Amy opened the door carefully and hurried over to the bed. Rose was curled up on top of the duvet, her forehead had sweat on it and her face was covered in smeared makeup. Amy put her hand on rose's shoulder trying to wake her up.

Suddenly Rose shot up, breathing hard. She looked at Amy, her eyes wide and a bit red from crying. Amy hugged her close, rubbing her back. "Shhh, its OK, everything's OK, it was just a dream."

When Rose finally calmed down a bit she pulled back. "Rose what was the dream?" Amy said wiping away some stray tears and rubbing away some mascara.

"I-I had t-these dreams before too, before I came here. I-it's always the same, world burning, children and women and men screaming in agony. I try to help but every time I get closer they burn more, and everyone's dying…" she couldn't continue and Amy pulled her back into a hug. "It feels so real Amy."

"It's not; it's just a nightmare, your safe here."

"Yeah but I'm not, am I."

"Oh Rose…" Amy hugged her again. "Let's get you cleaned up huh?" She led Rose to her bathroom and sat her on the edge of the tub. She took a towel and helped her clean off her face. Her eyes were still puffy and slightly red. Amy brought in some clothes and stepped out to let her change.

"I'm going to go and get you something to eat, ice cream, yeah? Then we can talk." Rose tried to smile but it was a tiny one.

"Thanks Amy."

"No problem, I'll be right back yeah?" Amy walked out and into the kitchen. Rory was there when she got there.

"How is she?"

"Nightmares, terrifying ones too, a world burning and she's right in the middle of it, while people were dying and screaming. She said it felt real, and she was sweating when I came in, I'm worried about her, Rory. I'm getting some ice cream, and try to explain things. Its best thing I can think of to do." Rory smiled. "Is he here?"

"Yeah he got back a bit ago."

"Don't let him near got it? Not yet."

"Never dream of it, I'm not stupid OK?" she kissed his forehead.

"I love you, Rory."

The Doctor went to the kitchen looking for tea. He bumped into Amy with a tub of ice cream. She didn't say anything, just kept walking. He wanted to ask how Rose was but he wasn't stupid, Amy wouldn't tell him a thing yet anyway. He saw Rory sitting there.

Rory got a good look at the Doctor, he had rings around his eyes and he looked terrible. "Doctor."

"Rory."

"Amy's not mad at you. She's just worried about Rose."

"That's something."

"Doctor did Rose ever go to a planet that burned? Like she was there while it burned, in the middle of it watching?" Now the Doctor perked up.

"No, not that I know of. Why?"

"Oh, maybe it's nothing then, she just had this nightmare. Amy said she said it felt real and there were people screaming, dying around her. Amy's worried." That sounded like…but no, Rose couldn't possibly know of Galifrey.

"Oh." He said lamely, he didn't know what to do.

"You should get some rest too, you look half dead."

"I'm just going to fix the TARDIS, call if you need me." He wanted to comfort Rose, but he didn't think she would want to see him.

Amy and Rose watched some movies, only those with no romance in them at all. Which didn't leave much options but Amy managed to find a few. Rose felt slightly better knowing Amy was there. She appreciated Amy trying to help her.

After the last movie ended Rose spoke, "Thank you Amy."

"No, don't mention it Rose. Girls gotta stick together yeah?" Rose smiled but it didn't reach her ears. "So who's this?" Amy asked pointing to a picture of Jack.

"Oh my god that's Jack, Captain Jack. I miss him so much, he's like a brother to me, total ladies man too." She actually giggled a bit at the memories of him.

"Can we go see him?" Thinking it might make her feel better.

"I don't know actually, he doesn't stay in one place much." She didn't want to see him like this though.

"Oh, well what do you want to do Rose? Anything you want."

"Where's Rory?" she asked changing the subject. She wanted the Doctor back but she didn't know if she could look at him.

"Um I don't know, want me to get him?"

"Yeah I could use with a laugh." She smiled sadly.

"Rory's great with that trust me." She smiled brightly, but didn't get much back.

Amy closed the door and went to look for Rory in the kitchen but he wasn't there, she then looked in the console room. She found the Doctor there instead.

"Oh sorry." She said leaving.

"No Amy wait!" she turned. "What can I do? She as to know I didn't mean to kiss River, I tried to push away! I would never intentionally hurt her Amy! Please."

"I'll tell her, she's finally calmed down a bit." Amy sighed hoping Rose would actually believe her.

"Rose what do you think happened?" Amy asked when she and Rory were back in Rose's room. Rose didn't have to ask what she was talking about.

"He…kissed her." She managed to get out, it hurt saying it.

"Rose, he tried to push her away. I was right next to him I saw." Rory said.

"B-but what?" she wanted to believe it but her brain to her no.

"River Song and the Doctor…well it's complicated."

"Yeah I get that, saw enough of it."

"No Rose, River meets the Doctor in reverse order, they never meet in the same time, he knows more when she knows less, and she knows more when he knows less. But then you happened. You weren't supposed to happen, least I don't think so. She loves the Doctor yes, but he doesn't love her like that anymore I don't think. Rose you changed everything."

"Why didn't he tell me then? He had so much opportunity to; I even asked who else he had met. He didn't even bother telling me there was someone else!"

"Rose, you know him, he's stupid, really, really stupid. Talk to him. It's the only way you can get this all cleared up."

"Fine, but you two are going to be there." She really didn't want him to distract her from finding out what the hell was going on. But Rose didn't know if she fully believed Rory and Amy, not yet.

"We will. But Rose, trust us, trust him." Rory said, and she looked down. Easier said than done with what she had seen with her own stupid eyes, she thought.
