Chapter 6

He thought this was her house he couldn't remember it that well because he had only been there once before and so much had happened since then, but he thought this was the one. He hoped and prayed it was. He walked up the path to the front door. Took a deep breath and knocked once, twice three times on the door. Keisha answered the door, her eyes were red and puffy, and as soon as she set eyes on The Doctor a tear slid down her cheek. Keisha did not speak she just gave The Doctor a look and that spoke for itself.

"Can I come in"

Keisha turned around and started walking away, The Doctor closed the door and followed her into the lounge.

"It's about Rose"

"I gathered that seeing as she's the only reason you would be here."

"What do you want then?" said Keisha wiping her eyes with the sleeve.

"The thing is….O.K right…. Erm.. K" "The Doctor couldn't bring himself to look at Keisha, tears were already threatening to fall from his eyes.

'"I need Rose's mobile number" " the thing is she's not actually dead, she's just sort of stuck on the alternative earth with no way of getting back… and its all my fault… the thing is I just need to hear her voice, I just miss her so much, I love her so much I just need to tell her I'm sorry"

Keisha couldn't take it anymore she ran from the room slamming the door behind her.

The Doctor ran after her, he had to explain everything to her.

When he found Keisha she was sitting in the corner staring at a photo of her and Rose all dolled up and ready to go out.

" I can explain"

" let me get this straight, one of my best mates is on an alternative world, but everyone thinks she is dead, but if I give you her mobile number then we'll be able to talk to her"

"got it in one" The Doctor said with a grin on his face

"how?"

"well on one of our first adventures she wanted to phone her mum so I tampered with her phone so that she could call home whenever she liked"

"so if you're some techno whiz why do you need me?"

"I don't have her number, and without that I cant call her"

After much negotiation and reassurance that Keisha could speak to Rose just as soon as he had, she handed over Rose's mobile number.

The Doctor was so delighted he practically squeezed Keisha to death when he was about to leave and he ran most of the way back to the TARDIS.

"Nearly there Rose, nearly there"
