In the doctor's mind...

His legs took off on their own accord. The reunion he had waited so long for was about to happen. Rose, his Rose, was running down this god forsaken road towards him at a similar speed he was towards her. God help anything that stood in his way.

He could see Jack standing at the end of the road as Rose pelted towards him and he was pretty sure Donna was doing the same. But, of course, he wasn't really paying that much attention to Jack, and none at all to Donna.

He was grinning, and running breathlessly towards the beautiful golden haired girl mirroring his actions.

Then, the golden silence was broken by a mechanical whirring, as if something was moving towards them. He ignored it. It sounded further up the road. Rose seemed to notice it too, because she looked sideways, still running as the whirring got louder.

And then something incredibly ugly appeared from behind a car. An old enemy. One that had separated him and Rose before. Shouting EXTERMINATE.

Before he could do anything, the Dalek released a surge of green electricity. The Doctor closed his eyes and waited for the immense pain to fill him. But he didn't.

He heard a female scream. Opening his eyes, quickly, he saw Rose topple to the ground. Then Jack appeared out of nowhere and blasted the Dalek to kingdom come. And then, immense pain came, but it wasn't from him being exterminated.

He ran over to where Rose lay, kneeling down, cradling her in his arms.

''Rose? ROSE? No, no, no, no. ROSE!'' His voice filled with rage and anger, tears of rage pouring down his face.

''Doctor?'' Came a faint voice from witching his arms

How was she still alive? WHAT? Why was he questioning Rose being alive? IDIOT.

''Rose?'' he grinned down at her, brushing hair out of her face and tears off her cheeks ''long time no see.''

Rose attempted a grin that came out like a grimace.

''Yeah...I...I've been...busy, you know-'' Rose shuddered in his arms and let out a cry as pain surged through her.

''Oh my God...Don't die. Rose! ROSE? PLEASE DON'T DIE!?'' The Doctor yelled, clutching her tighter.

Donna and Jack appeared at his side.

''Oh Rosie,'' Jack whispered, tears pouring down his face ''I told you to stay safe.''

''S-Since when d-do I t-take orders from you?'' Rose stuttered, writhing in pain.

''We have to get her into the TARDIS.'' Jack cried, he started to scoop Rose into his arms, but was beaten to it by the Doctor.

''Well GET A MOVE ON DOCTOR!'' yelled Donna, looking worriedly at Rose's ever paling face.

And then they all started running.

----------------------------------------------------------

The TARDIS hummed in terror as it saw Rose's crumpled form in the doctor's arms. He laid her down on the floor, kneeling down beside her, cradling her again.

''You're not about to leave now?'' he whispered, sobbing into her hair ''Please...Don't go.''

Rose started shaking, sobbing and trying to hug him back.

''I'm sorry.'' She whispered, as her grip loosened.

''ROSE...NO!'' Jack yelled, kneeling down on her other side.

Donna stood, leaning on the console, terrified.

''I'm sorry.'' Rose whispered again, cupping the Doctor's face in her hand, then doing the same with Jack.

And then the lights in her eyes went out. And her body flopped.

The Doctor felt an indescribable pain. Loosing Gallifrey, loosing his people was one thing. This, was another. Worse, much, much worse.

He pulled Rose's body to his chest, sobbing loudly into her head. Jack put an arm around him and kissed the top of his forehead. The doctor did the same to Rose's.

The TARDIS's cries of grief became louder and louder, until, suddenly, her lights went out.

The Doctor didn't notice. His vision was clouded by tears. He could only see the lifeless body of the ape, the human that he had loved so, so deeply, and would still love as deeply for the rest of his meaningless existence.

Donna came and knelt beside him and Jack, sobbing just as much as both of them. He put an arm around both of his alive companions.

And they wept.

Because, now, the universe was doomed.

And Love, Life, and Meaning for him,

Were Gone.
