I crawled out of bed clutching my head and groaning, sorting my hair out quickly in the mirror before slumping down to the kitchen. I wandered in still half asleep, pushing Rory and Amy out the way to the fridge, taking out a drink and saying nothing to them.

"You not gonna say hello to your parents?" Amy asked. I looked round and there were The Doctor and River, sitting at the table.

"Yes, hello family. Parents, grandparents ex-cet-eraaaa." I muttered.

"What's up with you?" The Doctor said.

"What's up with me eh?" I chuckled bitterly. "Oh if only you knew." I muttered, walking out again, going to get dressed but stopping round the corner to hear their conversation.

"She's so much like both of you it's unreal." Rory muttered. "She talks in riddles like you Doctor and keeps things like you River with your 'spoilers' left, right and centre!"

"Yes, thank you father dear." River sighed. "What is up with her? Did she tell you why she was even here?"

"Nothing. Not a clue." Amy said. "She just appeared in the back garden with your wrist strap and soniced her way in. Soniced! Normally she would knock like a normal person but no, not this time. If she was coming to visit she'd have taken the train to use up time, but she teleported here, like she was running away."

"Wait, Luke!" The Doctor said. "They must have had a argument, she wouldn't have just left him, he's leaving for uni today! Maybe we should pay them a visit..."

"WHOAH DON'T YOU DARE!" I shouted, storming back in. "You are not going there, is that clear?"

"My TARDIS, I do what I like!" He frowned at me. "Why?"

"JUST DON'T! You have no right to go there!"

"Of course I do, it's Sarah Jane's house!" He said, getting up.

"Sarah Jane is dead!"

"They are her kids! She was my best friend, I know she would have wanted me to watch out for them!" He shouted.

"Oh yeah, cause you were there at her funeral? You've spent these last few months staying with them? Since she died, you've spoken to them twice! YOU COULDN'T GIVE TWO SHITS DAD!" I shouted, pushing out their way to the back door, The Doctor sonicing it so it locked. I sighed and took out my of sonic screwdriver, unlocking it and pushing it open, storming out into the garden and into The TARDIS, slamming the doors behind me. I took a second to take it all in again, it had been a while since I had been in here. I walked up past the console and through the corridors, walking into my room and locking the door behind me, not coming out.

2 days later...

"Mai!" Mum banged on the door for the third time. "MAI POND GET YOUR ARSE OUT HERE NOW!"

"I'VE BEEN IN HERE FOR 2 DAYS, WHAT MAKES YOU THINK I'M GONNA COME OUT NOW?"

"Argh!" She moaned. "Listen, me and your father are going to see Martha and Mickey for a bit ok? Just, maybe come and see them in a bit yeah?" She sighed, walking off down the corridor, the front doors eventually shutting. I ran round my room, pulling my jacket over me and pulling on my hood, teleporting off after stealing the psychic paper and had my sonic safe in my pocket.

I appeared again on Bannerman Road, a few metres down on the other side of the road from the house. I stood there for a few hours, watching the house, hiding my face and waiting until Maria left. I needed to talk to Rani, Clyde and Sky, without Maria. She seemed nice enough but I didn't know her or really trust her. Rani kept looking out the window every five minutes, and after a hour and a half of waiting, a police man came up to me.

"Excuse me?" His drainy voice asked as I looked round at him. "Can I ask you why you have been standing here for so long? There's been a complaint."

"I don't think that's any of your business." I muttered, keeping my face out of sight.

"Well unless you'd like to come down to the station-"

"Undercover, UNIT." I said, flashing up the psychic paper. "On your way please." I said quickly as I noticed Maria walk out of the house and walk the other way.

"Of course, sorry ma'am." He murmered, getting into his car and driving off. I ran over the road, trying to make sure I was quick and grabbed the spare key from under the pot plant, walking in quickly and quietly.

"Stop or I'll shoot! Who are you and what are you doing here?" Rani said shakily, holding some alien gun we'd recovered a few months back, not quite sure how to use it. I slowly turned round and pulled my hood down.

"Stop being daft Rani." She grinned madly at me, running down and pulling me into a hug.

"GUYS DON'T WORRY!" She called up the stairs, as they walked onto the landing. "It was Mai."

"It was you who stood outside for 3 hours?" Clyde asked.

"I was waiting for Maria to leave you plums!" I grinned, giving them a hug each.

"I never thought I was gonna see you again." Sky murmered into my chest. "Come on, attic!" She said, yanking me up the stairs and into the attic, sitting me down.

"Now!" Rani said, her and Clyde coming to sit next to me. "Do you want to explain where the bloody hell you have been?"

"Erm. Sadie and Charlie's. Then back with Amy and Rory, then The TARDIS." I murmered.

"You dissapeared and never told us!" Clyde said. "Just ran off! Luke won't tell us what's going either. He just says 'she's gone.' or 'she left.'. We really don't know what's going on! Are you back for good now? And..." He glanced at Sky. "Do you know yet?"

"Know what?" Sky asked innocently

"Nothing." We all said quickly.

"No I don't, and it's up to Luke what he wants to say, he could tell you everything if he wants, what he's told you, I didn't tell him to say."

"Well he's obviously too upset to say!" Rani said. "He needs you. And I'm sorry but I think you need him too."

"Well he obviously isn't that upset, he's happily buggered off to uni!"

"You left and he rang us and we came round, he sat up all night not speaking to Maria at all, then the next morning he couldn't wait to leave-"

"But he told me why." Sky interupted. "He couldn't bare sitting in there anymore because all he could see was you, how you should have been there. And Mum too. Mai please, I'm scared he isn't gonna come back!"

"He'll come back sweetie, I know him." I smiled weakly at her.

"Mai, I don't think he will."

"Ok." I sighed. "We'll go suprise him, up at uni."

"Really?" Sky said, grinnning.

"Why not? I need to talk with him anyway." I sighed, smiling weakly.

A hour and a train later...

"Are you sure about this?" Rani asked. We were leaning against the corridors in the dorms, with the beauty of the psychic paper. By the door we were standing at, a party was being held, with Luke inside.

"Yeah." I sighed. "Just, wait here, in case I need you guys." I smiled. I walked in, pushing past people, half of them drunk or snogging people in corners. Then I saw him, Luke. He was sitting on a window sill in the corner, clutching a drink. He looked so sad, he wasn't taking to anyone. It was unlike Luke to go to parties. Wow. He really must have been upset. I started walking over slowly, and Maria appeared next to him, talking at him. He looked up at her, saying nothing. She lunged forwards and pressed her lips against his. I froze, not far from them as he let her for a moment, before pushing her away in anger. "Of course, like I thought you'd actually missed me..." I said. He looked at me and his eyes said it all. "And I thought you were different." I snapped and turned round, heading out of the dorm, back towards the door. He grabbed my arm and turned me to him.

"Mai, please."

"I'm going home Luke." I snapped, pulling my arm away. I ran out of the room and up to Rani, Clyde and Sky, dragging them along to corridor, telling them what had happpened.
