A/N: this is a little chapter, but when you write a real diary something exciting doesn't happen every day so you know it makes sense!!

I don't own Doctor Who

19/12

It does seem strange without Jack. The Doctor was a bit quiet this morning and obviously missed him. However, as the day wore on he seemed happier and happier, confirming my belief that it helped him to talk about things.

He even made me feel happier and given that I haven't had an unbroken night's sleep in quite some time that's a real accomplishment.

If I'd thought about it I think I would have assumed that my nightmares and everything else that has been happening to us would have put a strain on our relationship. I mean, at the moment, I'm constantly tired, often irritable and depressed and almost entirely dependent on his presence.

Do you know what though? I think it's made us stronger, as a couple. Not a couple, couple but you know what I mean.

When, if, this ends – then we will see how close we've truly become and how dependent we are on each other.

I'm fairly certain we're co-dependent. I blatantly need him and it shows in the little things that he needs me – to give him a hug when he thinks of one of his painful memories or to make him laugh. Well, he needs someone, it doesn't necessarily have to be me, but I must be as good as anyone.

He told me once that I give him the will, the inclination to carry on travelling. My seeing these planets and civilisations with new eyes makes him look at them afresh as well, makes him want to carry on looking.

This, coming from a 900 year old time travelling alien, must be a compliment.

A/N: there you go, like I said just a little one.

I just wanted to put in some of the things I know I'd think about in this sort of situation.

Well, please please review – I love them so much!! xxxx
