Hiya, so here it is Chapter four. This one took a little longer but here it is. A gingantic thankyou to anyone who reviewed or even read this story so far!! Yay you.

Rose sat on the end of her bathtub, watching as the bubbles grew closer and closer to the rim. The sound of cascading water pounded through her ears as she slowly circled one finger in the water. Finally happy with the amount and temperature of the water she pulled off her robe and slowly slid into the tub. Sighing in pleasure as the water flowed around her body.

Rose took in a long deep breath, the sweet smell of lavender relaxing her and numbing the dull ache in her head: due to last night's alcohol. She had agreed to meet Cal again for dinner tonight, she was still questioning why. Yes, she had grown rather fond of him during their dinner together, he really was the perfect gentlemen, but there was a part of her that felt strange around him, like it shouldn't be. She knew that was the part that was hopelessly in love with The Doctor. She wished she could stop loving him, wished she could just get over him. Rose knew that nothing would ever happen between the pair; why? Well, there were too many reasons to list. He cared for her as a friend, nothing more. She really wasn't anything special, with all the wondrous and enchanting women out there, would he ever choose her? Rose mulled over a couple more reasons, convincing herself fully that enough was enough, time to put her one sided love to rest. The next question was simply how.

She could leave him, get on with her life like a normal human being.

A laugh pushed its way from Rose's lips as she contemplated the thought, she would never be strong enough to leave The Doctor by choice. She loved him too much to ever leave him, so why was she swaning off with Cal? Rose continued to question herself, but she knew, she liked the attention, she liked the feeling of someone's affections being afflicted towards her. God knew she would never get that from The Doctor.

Rose sighed once again as she emerged herself completely in the water, as her hair fanned out around her face; she thought of what was to come of the bath she was in and the walls that surrounded her. The people that surrounded her. Cal. A small wave or dread and sadness washed over her, the water mixing with that of her tears. Everything was so beautiful, everyone was so nice, but it was all doomed. Forced to injure the horrifying fete that was their future.

Realising all that awaited her in this bath was to drown in her own depressing thoughts Rose clambered out and draped a towel around her body, drying it frantically. Desperate to get away from her room, away from her thoughts. She dried her hair hastily and pulled it into a side ponytail. Now came her favourite part, choosing her outfit, being in this time period let her dress in such stunning, unique and antique dresses. She smiled warmly as her hand brushed over the edge of each one.

After a couple of minutes of contemplating Rose picked out a dark blue velvet skirt and a matching white cardigan. As she pulled on her second long, white, silk glove there was a knock at her door. Rose turned sharply as her room echoed with the light tapping, there were only two people who that could be and Rose knew who she'd rather it be.

"Doctor" Rose said through her beaming smile as opened her door. "you 'kay?" She questioned as she waved him in, closing the door gently behind him.

"Yep, did you have fun last night?" He winced slightly as her smile grew.

"Yeah, it was amazing, Cal's so nice" She glided past him towards her hair brush and began sliding it across her ponytail.

"I'm sure he is" He muttered, his smile not quite reaching his eyes. "Anyway, want to go for a walk?" Rose nodded her acceptance as she ran to the door, excitement ripping through her body.

Her walk with The Doctor, was astounding, he took her to every inch of the ship, showed her everything worth seeing. She was now sitting on her bed, resting her feet, she was not used to walking in heels all day long. Rose groaned as someone knocked on her door, hurriedly.

"Comin'" She called, assuming it was Cal picking her up for dinner, it wasn't. "Who are you?" She asked, her voice polite.

"I'm Rose" The red headed women informed her as she pushed past and entered her room. "You are the women who escorted Cal to dinner last night, correct?"

"Yeah" Rose nodded, confused.

"And you are planning to escort him again tonight, correct?"

"Yeah, look what are you doing here?"

"I'm here to warn you" Rose looked taken a back by the older women's words.

"Warn me about what?" She said finally, her voice urging the women to speak.

"Cal" She whispered.

"What about Cal?" Rose asked her eyes fixed upon the other women, shocked by her sudden invasion.

"He's a horrible, horrible human being, I'm warning you to stay away from him." Rose rolled her eyes.

"Are you his ex?"

"Ex what?" Rose rolled her eyes once more.

"Did you used to be Cal's fiance?"

"Yes" The women said ashamed of herself slightly.

"Look, if you're jealous, there is nothing going on between me and him, I promise you" Rose muttered a little patronising.

"No you don't understand. No matter what you feel for him he will make you-"

"Ah two roses, one sensationally beautiful, the other covered in thorns" The two girls turned to find Cal, leaning in the doorway. "And what poison are you spreading today?" He asked slyly as he stepped in front of the redheaded girl.

"Leave me alone, and stay away from her, she doesn't deserve it." Rose spat as she pointed at the terrified blonde.

"How dare you frighten Miss Tyler with your vicious lies. My intentions with Rose are strictly honourable. Now come Rose, come with me to dinner" He stretched his hand out to Rose Tyler, but she hesitated, her eyes flickering from him to the women frantically shaking her head. "Please, Rose, please don't believe her" Rose stared deeply into Cal's eyes and finally took his hand.
