Rose started at the woman, she was much older than Rose. Her hair was massive, and she a flirtatious smile on her face, she reminded Rose of Jack. She felt intimated by the woman, Rose turned her attention of the The Doctor, He was still starting at the woman, he wasn't saying anything. Rose began to worry, it wasn't a good sign when The Doctor was quiet.
"So" River hissed playfully, she walked past The Doctor, straight up to Rose without giving The Doctor any type of acknowledgement, She started to fiddle with Rose's hair. "Who's your friend"
Rose snapped, she flicked River's hand away, "Rose Tyler." She answered, She was annoyed. She looked at The Doctor, he was just standing there turned away from the two women, his head bowed, Rose heard him sigh, something was wrong. She wanted to help him, but things were different, before she could just take his hand and he would know she was there for him. They could take anything on, anything in the whole universe, she was still feeling all those old emotions, she felt her old love for him starting to burn. The woman smirked, Rose turned her attention back to her, who was she?
The woman was still smirking when Rose asked "So who's your babysitter?" She was trying to be as sarcastic as the woman, but it hadn't worked/ The woman let out a patronising chuckle. She turned back to The Doctor and stood beside him, he turned and looked at her. For the first time Rose felt invisible to The Doctor, she felt like she wasn't there, that she could walk out now and he wouldn't care. Knives of jealously began to stab at her stomach, whoever she was, she was close to The Doctor and Rose didn't like that, not one bit.
"Rose" he said softly, not moving from the woman's side "this is Professor River Song" His eyes finally met hers. River laughed playfully, as if she was trying to make a point in front of Rose. She took The Doctor's hand, the jealously inside of Rose was intensifying.
"I'm his wife"
Rose collapsed inside, she felt a million different things at once, love for her old Doctor, curiosity for this new one, anger and jealously at this River woman and heart break and guilt for John. She couldn't handle it, she sat back down at the table, avoiding his eyes and her irritating smirk. Rose knew that it shouldn't matter, She had moved on -sort of – she had another life with John, her life with The Doctor was finished. So what if he was married to some woman now. Yet Rose still felt betrayed in some way. She knew there would be other companions, other people he would take to travel with him, but she never once thought that he would marry one of them. She thought she was the only one he ever loved, it felt that way. Maybe she just imagined it, but for one fleeting moment Rose Tyler felt like the most important woman in the whole universe because she was the woman that The Doctor loved. Now, after everything that she went through in the last few years, she finds him again and he's moved on? He's married. It was like meeting your first love in school and finding out they have a whole family. She didn't know what she was expecting from this brief encounter with The Doctor but whatever it was, it was gone.
After a minuet gathering the right words to say she looked up and the couple, they didn't look right together. When you see a couple, or friends and you say "they look like a proper couple" Rose looked at them, she got up. Ignoring River she put her arms round The Doctor, just like she used to.
She whispered " Thank you" she began to cry again. Rose pulled herself away to look at him for a final time, his eyes were tearing up. Rose smiled at The Doctor, he wiped away the tears running down her face. "Goodbye, I'll always love you, no matter how many regenerations you have" she thought. Rose turned away from the pair and left the café, and without looking back walked down the street to get a taxi home.
As he watched her go The Doctor couldn't help but feel sadness, he wanted to call her back, instead he looked up at River. Then he realised, the TARDIS had brought him here, what if by some unthinkable, unpredictable chance he was supposed to meet Rose. He felt a surge of energy, what if she was in trouble, he couldn't let that happen.
