*Disclaimer I do not own Doctor Who or the characters in this story

Hey y'all, I would just like to preface this by saying that this is completely for fun. Please forgive me if I don't get all the characters' personalities right, as I have a hard time transferring characters' personalities into my own stories. Also, I am American so I don't use British slang but it might randomly pop up in here if I feel like they might have said that in the show so bear with me.

*I am aware the Doctor went back and put Galifray into a pocket universe, hearby undoing explosion, but for the purposes of drama and intensity we will pretend that didn't happen :)*

Additionally, apologizes to the 4 people who left reviews on my supergirl fanfiction "Something in my eye" I made like 3 years ago lol. I honestly never expected people to read that first chapter and by the time I went back and saw that people had left reviews it had already been basically a year and I had lost all inspiration for it. If it makes you feel better though I did try and add a chapter to either extend on it a little or basically say that I was done writing it (at this point I can't remember which were my intentions), but fanfiction wouldn't let me add another chapter to it for some reason :/ soooooo yeah. Um I've said a bit too much so I'm just gonna let y'all read the story now if you even read this cause I normally don't.

Pain Burning Pain Burning

That's all I felt

All around me bombs exploding, fires blazing

I couldn't move, frozen in shock while everything around me crumples

*GASP*

I sit up in bed struggling to catch my breath with not enough air coming into my lungs

I look around the room, grounding myself

"I'm not there" I whisper through ragged breaths, shaking uncontrollably under my covers

I gaze around taking in my surroundings, processing everything around me, trying to situate myself back into the real world.

This is why I don't sleep anymore I think, annoyed that I had given into the need for sleep so easily when I knew this would happen

Yaz, Ryan, and Graham all think I don't sleep as often as they do because of some "weird alien thing" as they have described it. It's not completely true though.

Ever since the day I blew up Galifray to save myself

No

Ever since the day I blew up Galifray to save the universe.

Sleep has been accompanied by frightening nightmares that plague me everytime I try to sleep. They were not of me blowing up Galifray, but of the children as they died a painful death. A death that I caused. A death that I bestowed upon them in my fury.

The upside is that due to it having been a thousand years my body has adjusted to the lack of sleep, hereby me not needing to sleep as much as a normal Human or should I say Time Lord. Unfortunately I still need to sleep every so often which means I have to experience the worst thing I have ever done first hand.

I breathe deeply and relax myself, trying instead to think about having the gang over instead

I sit in bed for about 30 more minutes collecting my thoughts and grounding myself further after the traumatic event.

Once I finally have put myself together, I hop out of bed and put on my usual smile, knowing the fam is about to walk through the tardis's doors

Since I slept in my clothes,I just walk up straight to the console room

"Hey lovely girl, you look great today" I say hoping if I get onto the Tardis's good side so she will take us to where we actually want to go

Just then Yaz, Ryan, and Graham all walk through the doors

"Hey, fam!" I say with my usual enthusiastic voice, internally proud at how quickly I turned myself around after the earlier incident

"Hey, Doc!" Graham says as he walks in to sit on the stairs pulling out a sandwich to eat

Ryann follows suit and sits next to him as the two start to talk about such and such

Yaz is the last to fully walk in

I put on my best smile now knowing Yaz has always been the closest to detecting when I am upset

Yaz stops for a second with curious eyes looking right at me and I think she might see through my half-baked smile, but a second later she continues on to join Ryann and Graham on the stairs.

"Where are we going today Doc?" Graham asks inquisitively while brushing bread crumbs off his hands
