When I am down and, oh my soul, so weary

The Doctor didn't know why he decided to follow the music. Perhaps it was because there was a strange man singing music in his TARDIS. Or maybe it was because he couldn't hear Kayla in his thoughts and he was getting scared.

Regardless, the Time Lord found himself walking through his wonderful TARDIS, trying to figure out where the music was coming from and if Kayla had anything to do with it.

When troubles come and my heart burdened be

For a second, the Doctor paused as he tilted his head, slightly surprised that he recognized the song, but then with a shrug, he decided that it was probably nothing.

Then I am still and wait here in the silence,

Until you come and sit awhile with me.

Now completely paused, the Doctor looked at the TARDIS walls in confusion, "Are you playing this song?" he asked carefully, but got a negative in response, "Can you take me to who's playing it?" At this, there was no reply for several seconds. But then, out of the corner of his eye, the Doctor saw a hallway that had been straight only moments before curve to a left.

"Thanks old girl."

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;

You raise me up to walk on stormy seas;

I am strong when I am on your shoulders;

You raise me up to more than I can be.

In the time that it took for chorus of the song to play, the Doctor had reached the door that was slightly propped open, revealing Kayla singing softly along with the song and sitting in the middle of the room.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;

Tilting his head, the Doctor watched Kayla toast an invisible person and wipe away a tear that had glided down her face.

You raise me up to walk on stormy seas;

The Time Lord ran a hand through his hair, "Who's she singing about?" he asked to himself.

I am strong when I am on your shoulders;

At that line, Kayla's voice faltered and she bowed her head, letting the song play on without her voice.

You raise me up to more than I can be.

With a whimper that tugged on the Doctor's hearts, the Time Lord felt like he could do nothing but watch as his Bonded's shoulders shook and she started to sob.

There is no life - no life without its hunger;

Each restless heart beats so imperfectly;

But when you come and I am filled with wonder,

Sometimes, I think I glimpse eternity.

As Kayla continued to sob, the Doctor stepped into the room and knelt down next to her. For a second, he waited to see if Kayla would flinch away, but when no movement came from the broken brunette, the Doctor wrapped his arms around her and rocked her back and forth.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;

It was when Kayla was being rocked in his arms did it all make sense.

You raise me up to walk on stormy seas;

For a second, he nearly started to sob himself as the brunette shivered in his arms.

I am strong when I am on your shoulders;

Instead, he whimpered and held her tighter than before.

You raise me up to more than I can be.

"I love you Kayla." He whispered to her.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;

"I will always love you."

You raise me up to walk on stormy seas;

"I will protect you."

I am strong when I am on your shoulders;

"And I'm so sorry."

You raise me up to more than I can be.

"I am so, so sorry."

You raise me up to more than I can be.

The Doctor swallowed hard, not wanting to say the words he knew were true, "Because the pain you're feeling is all my fault."

If Kayla heard him, she didn't show it. Instead, she continued to sob and allow herself to get rocked back and forth by her Bonded.

Much later, the Doctor found himself sitting up in his and Kayla's shard bed. The brunette was beside him, sleeping with a soft look on her face. If he looked at her at just the right angle, he could almost not see the tears that were still falling despite the fact that she was sleeping.

"What have I done?" he asked to himself as he turned over the object that Kayla had been crying over. Despite the multiple times he had handled the leather Vortex Manipulator, he still just wanted to touch it and somehow feel more connected with his Bonded.

Feeling immense disgust at himself, the Doctor replaced the Manipulator onto the bedside table nearest to him and got up. He had no idea how he was going to make it work, but he was going to make sure that Kayla and Jack got back together.

Behind him, he heard a sigh and then a whimper, "Doctor, please stay." He heard a soft voice beg, "I just need to know I'm loved."

Turning back, the Doctor couldn't help but smile at Kayla, "Of course I'll stay my darling." He promised, "But first, let me get a glass of water."

So two things. Sorry this is so short, and IT'S ON TIME! But seriously, I finally got a chapter posted on time, and that's so awesome.

Also, this chapter is rather different, in case you couldn't tell. It is a chapter that is based off a song, but I promise that this will be the only chapter that will be like this. I just felt like for this occasion that it worked.

And now, review time:

Aka-Baka Hoshi: Thanks!

Guest: I'm going to do Fear Her, mostly because it's a fluff opportunity.

Anon: *blinkblink.* Technically brunet can be used to describe brown hair but it's for a male...So from here on out, I will start using brunette because KAYLA ISN'T A MALE!

Don't forget that if we reach 75 reviews before I'm done then you'll get a spoiler! Bye!
