The TARDIS hummed quietly in the background; trying to comfort the scared girl. Her arms were wrapped around her pillow and she was in the fetal position. That bed was the only small comfort she had at the moment. It wasn't her though, it was his. The doctor's.
The whole room smelled of him. It was a mixture of jelly babies and bananas. But even his smell wasn't enough to comfort her or to stop the tears. No, she was terrified.
The door to the bedroom opened and his footsteps entered. Even that wasn't enough to wake her from her fears.
"Rose, why are you in my room? And…are you crying?" His voice became soft as he walked over to her. The man's hands positioned her hair to behind her ear and he leaned in; his mouth right next to her.
"Tell me what's wrong Rose," he whispered as lightly as he could.
Rose turned her body so she was cuddled into his chest. She wrapped her arms around him, and he did the same to her.
"One day doctor," she cried into his shoulder, "One day you're not going to want me anymore. You're going to take me home and live your life without me. I won't be here forever."
The man smiled at her.
"Oh miss Tyler I'm afraid you don't understand how much I love you. I would never leave you alone. Ever." He leaned over to see her face, but realized that she had fallen asleep. "Sweet dreams." His voice trailed out into the silence that even the TARDIS dared not to break.
