Times Are Changing
Chapter 6
What's Going On?
Rose finally managed to go to sleep, she knew that she would only have a few hours sleep, she kept turning and tossing her mind had been racing over everything that had happened today. What was she going to do about Adam if he kept trying for a relationship? But the main question was what was she going to do about the Doctor? He had been acting weird ever since Adam had joined them, well weirder than normal. She dreaded going out of her room, she really did not want to speak to Adam, and she wished that her and the Doctor could spend sometime alone. She thought it would be fun to have someone else spending time with them but she was wrong, boy was she so wrong. Sighing she climbed out of bed as much as she would like to hide out all day, she couldn't either the Doctor or Adam.
It took a lot for her to actually leave her room, she dreaded going out and not knowing what to expect. She headed out and into the control room smiling as she saw the Doctor.
"So what's the plan?" she asked, she gasped as the Doctor turned and looked at her. It looked like he had not slept all night he looked ill. "Are you ok?" She asked and stepped forward touching his arm, and then he did something she wasn't expecting, he pulled away from her, Rose frowned what the hell was going on? Just as she was about to ask him who had to walk in, Adam. Rose groaned she really didn't want to talk to him now.
"Hey Rose" He said cheerfully. "Doctor."
The Doctor nodded and headed out of the control room. Rose was quick on his heels she had to find out what was going on with him before it caused any problems. Adam grabbed her hand and she pulled away. "Not know Adam I have to speak to the Doctor."
"But Rose." He stuttered.
"Not now I said." And with that she rushed out to follow the Doctor. She finally caught up with him in his room his back was to her. "Doctor" she whispered trying not to scare him, not wanting him to run.
"I'm sorry Rose I've tried so very hard." The words stumbled out of his mouth.
"Tried to do what?" She asked.
"To let you know, I thought with Adam here you would be happier he is your own age and you are attracted to him, but it's difficult to see him look at you, he does it all the time and I'm afraid that he will take you away from me. Even if you both stay you won't be here with me. Adam will always be around and I don't know if I am strong enough to deal with it. Oh Rose what am I going to do? I want you to be happy and I don't know how to do that."
Rose could not believe what she was hearing but she knew that the Doctor was scared and she didn't want to push him. They had to come together in their own time and now she knew that they would. Rose had not felt this secure and happy. She knew that the Doctor would not believe her that she was only saying things to make him happy. Her mind was made up she was going to prove to the Doctor how much she loved him and that there was no way she was ever going to leave him.
"I'm not going anywhere Doctor. You'll see everything will work out." With that she kissed him on the cheek and walked out plans forming in her mind maybe Adam would be useful but she had to make sure that the Doctor was in the same room so he would understand that she was no longer attracted to Adam that the man she wanted was a 900 year old alien that travelled in time in a blue police box and that meant only one person. "Fantastic." She whispered with a grin on her face.
