"What?" She gasped, searching frantically. "No, no, no!" Tears welled up in her eyes again and she tripped over her own feet and fell to the pavement. She didn't bother getting up as she melted into a sobbing, heaving mess on her knees. "He couldn't have left me. He couldn't have. He said I was important, too important to be left behind." She whispered in breathy, gasping bursts. She then lifted her head up and screamed "I WAS IMPORTANT!" Then she fell again, her face buried into her folded arms, wailing in defeat.

Phil was left speechless. He had no idea what to do and still wasn't sure about this all-knowing stranger. He wanted to leave, but still stood there as she went on and on, the tide of sorrow pulling out to the misery sea only to be tossed into a jagged cliff side of loss, left unsinkable and alive to feel pain, that demanded to be felt. After awhile, she stopped crying and just went numb.

"Phil?" She croaked and she raised her hand to him as a request. He came and sat beside her. She grasped his hand and held it looking down the empty street. "Do you know remember when you were a kid? And you went out to a public place, somewhere new and exciting? Then something caught your eye and, just for a second, you were cut off from your family and you thought in that panicked state that a stranger would nab you if you didn't remain clam but of course you're freaking out because, oh god, you're all alone and you'll never be found again?" Phil processed this before nodding. "There was one thing that keep me sane in that sere madness of panic, and that was," She curled her lip to keep herself from crying again but the tears began to spill over anyways. "That was the thought that I was too important to be left behind and that the people I was with I trusted enough to not get bored and give up the search then leave me behind. But now," She let out an exhaled gasp of hurt before continuing "I guess I was silly enough to think I was important to the Doctor. He's had so many companions, I should have known that my time was ending! But I didn't think it'd be now!" She was screaming by the end and crying.

Phil was stunned and didn't know anything else to do except engulf her into his lanky arms. She stiffened for a second before wrapping her arms around him in return, turning his shirt into an even bigger, wetter mess than before.

Just as it seemed like the world was void of all good, a sound that was familiar to the pair of them sounded off at a distance.
