AN: This is it my people, the ending. I hope you enjoy reading as much as I enjoyed writing! Thank you for everything! And sorry too, I know I did awfully with this fanfic and left it behind for lots of months.

Chapter 15

Doomsday

I wake up and keep my eyes shut, my bed feels strangely hard and wet, I move my hands a little and feel how I move some little things under my fingers, it all smells salty, I could tell I'm at the beach, but it's impossible. I pull myself up with my arms and stay sitting while I open my eyes, I AM in a beach, I feel my cheek, it's all full of sand, I don't understand. What am I doing here? I stand up and look around; my hair is all soaked up. Where's Donna? Where's the Doctor? Where am I?

I start turning desperately everywhere to see if I can find them, it's useless, I'm alone.
"DONNA!?"
"DOCTOR!?" I shout as loud as I can
"DONNA!?"
"PLEASE DOCTOR!
"WHERE ARE YOU?" My voice starts breaking and tears start coming from my eyes.

I try to shout again but I can only speak really low. "Please don't leave me".

I'm totally broken, my knees fail me and I fall directly to the sand again. I sit and put my face between my hands while I cry desperately. "Not again" I sob violently and give another look to the place, now I know where I am. Bad Wolf Bay. I put my head down and cry harder, why would they do this to me?
Why would they leave me like this? Why would they leave me... HERE?
Last night they said we would go to marvelous places together, why would they lie?
Why would Donna come for me if they were going to drop me again? Why not just leave me there from the beginning?

I turn and stay on the ground in fetal position while still crying. What hurts me the most is the lie. I close my eyes and stay thinking about everything again.
Donna Noble... HA! Not that Noble after all. I wipe off my tears with the back of my hand, it hurts in my eyes, my hands are all salty so now I start tearing again, I close my eyes and try to calm down.
I hear a little sound like if someone had popped their fingers, then a voice says my name "Rose" It's him. "Rose" I must be imagining it, I'm starting to have problems again.

"Rose, please, open your eyes" Just to confirm my theory and go back home to tell mom I have to go with the psychiatrist again I open my eyes. I look at my wrist sadly, I can see it's all wet with sea water and my tears fall on the black writing that I have kept marking daily so not to forget, the four letters that have been on it for months are for the first time fading, the ink running my arm in grey water drops. "Are you feeling Rose?" I think to myself, yes I am, this is no fake world, I've been out of the lies for a long time now, I won't ever write on my wrist again.

"That's all right Rose, come" It's him, it's really him, I can't believe it, I stand up and smile widely while I start running towards him.
"Wait, stay there" He says when I'm about to jump to his arms, I stop. "If you touch me the transmition will fall"

No. I have lived this before, it's a projection of him again. I start crying once more, I can't handle seeing him so far from me, yet so close.

"What happened? Doctor, why am I here? Why aren't I with you?"

"Oh Rose Tyler, the TARDIS threw you back to your world, you belong here now, I can't mend it," He means it, no jokes.

I cry harder and a scene repeats itself:

I look down, trying to calm myself down so I can speak. And with a shaky voice I manage to ask the same question "Am I ever going to see you again?".

The Doctor looks back at me and answers what he must "You can't" I feel like I'm dying inside

"What are you going to do?" I ask, my voice an octave higher than it usually is, my face screwed up, my face wet with tears.

"I've still got the TARDIS. Same old life, last of the time lords". He replies smiling to give me courage.

"On your own?"

He looks at me understanding "I'm not alone anymore" he says "There's Donna, who I'm worried about is you"

I take a deep breath, trying to collect myself again, because there is one more thing I need to tell him before we leave each other forever again, I try to say the words, "I... I", but my throat feels like it's closing up, choking me.

I look down, to clear my head. I take another deep breath and look back up at him, hardly being able to see through the tears that are pouring down my cheeks now "I love you" I say again as if he didn't know already.

"Quite right, too..." He says, his voice almost a whisper, and I nod.

He looks at me not really knowing what to do, to some point he seems happy. "And I suppose... if it's my last chance to say it..."

I look straight at him, waiting for that answer that I know I won't get to listen.

"Rose Tyler..." I see the Doctor's image disappear again and start crying just as if I didn't know it was going to happen, I keep my eyes open and look straight to where he was, yet not believing he's gone again, all this in seconds.

The TARDIS appears making no sound in front of me at the same time the Doctor gives a step out of it, his eyes shining with happiness and his lios curved in the most genuine smile I have ever seen, he grabs both my hands saying "I love you"

I make a short laugh, he cleans the tears of my cheeks and gives me a gentle, soft, sweet kiss in the lips, he wraps me with his arms and I continue the kiss with my eyes closed, he slowly separates his lips from mine and opens his eyes, he smiles at me and moves a little. I can see a happy Donna standing on the TARDIS door, smiling at us, the Doctor and I walk together towards her and when we are all inside and the door is closed he speaks to Donna and me.

"How long are you going to stay with me?" We look at each other and then at him as we both reply at the exact same time and listen to the TARDIS take off once more.

"Forever"

THE END

AN: Thank you, thank you for everything! Really all of your support was the most amazing thing I could ever ask for and writing this fanfiction has been such a great experience! It was really hard to get myself into finally saying goodbye to this story but I think it was about time I did and I also wish more than anything to post this last chapter that actually was written since before I posted the third chapter! Having many many changes on the way but it has been there for a long time. Personally this was my favorite chapter to write and is the one I liked the most in the end! I hope you enjoyed the chapter as much as I did and also my story, thank you for never abandoning me and for reading this to the very last word! This fanfic means very much to me as it was my first. But oh well! All things must end.

Ps. Sorry, I know this story started amazingly and then dropped miles down, that's because I stopped shipping Rose/10 and Daillie as much as I did before and so ran out of ideas, but thank you for everything and I hope you liked, maybe someday I'll edit this and make it better! Please tell me what you think.

I'm hoping to write an explanation of why Rose was left on Bad Wolf Bay.

Love: Lily Rickman
