A/N: This chapter was originally going to be from Donna's pov but then I realised it suited Andy better…Poor Andy!
Chapter 5:
(Andy's POV):
'I have to go now' Donna told me.
'Why?' I asked, probably sounded whiny.
'Because I have to see if Mum's decided whether or not we're going to go with the Doctor' Donna replied.
'Would you go?' I asked.
'Of course' Donna replied. 'I couldn't just let my Mum go.'
'Yeah, of course not' I said, and smiled. The smile was fake though. I knew Donna could tell as well. I'd been best friends with her for the past 6 years she could tell when my smile wasn't real, and I could tell when her's wasn't. 'What if she asks you whether you want to go?'
'What?' Donna didn't understand what I was saying, it probably sounded like I was asking the same question. Maybe I was. And hoping for a different answer.
'Never mind' I said
'Andy what's up?' Donna asked.
'Nothing. I'm fine'
'And I…'
'Donna I'm fine' I insisted.
'No you aren't' Donna insisted.
'Well I'm not gonna tell you so shut up about it' I snapped.
'Andy' Donna said. 'Wha…what've I done?'
'Nothing' I replied. As I continued I tried to calmed down. 'Honestly, you haven't done anything. Let's go'
'Yeah' was all Donna said, but her tone said a lot more. Her tone said "I know there's something going on but I'll shut up…for now!".
But I couldn't tell her.

'Mum, I'm back. Did you decide yet?' Donna called as we walked in.
No reply came.
'MUM!' Donna called again, this time much louder.
Still nothing. Donna ran up the stairs, and I should imagine she looked in every room. She came back down, and came into the front room, where I was now sat. She looked at me, she was scared. What she was thinking was written all over her face. She thought Rose had gone without her.
'She wouldn't have gone without you' I reasoned.
'So where is she?' Donna asked. 'He turns up, she tells me to go out for a while, and then she's not there when I get back. Seems a bit convenient'
'Donnie' I was staying calm, because I knew Rose would never do anything like that. 'You're completely underestimating your Mum. Rose loves you.'
'She loves the Doctor too' Donna said.
'She would do anything for you…'
'She chose the Doctor over my Nan and Grandad once'
'Donnie, seriously you need to calm down' I told her. 'Look at it logically. Rose would never leave you. She would never deceive you. And even if you don't believe that, well she can't have gone' I walked over to the fireplace. 'Her purse is still here. So my reckoning is, you're panicking over nothing'
Donna sighed. 'Yeah. Thanks. Where would I be without you'
I just smiled. Again the smile wasn't real.
'Andy…'
'I'm fine' I insisted.
'No you're not' Donna told me gently. 'You're really not. Why won't you tell me what's wrong'
'Because it doesn't matter' I said.
'You're my best friend' Donna replied. 'Of course it matters'
Yeah but Donnie, it won't matter when you're off flying around time and space in another universe and I never see you again will it.
'I don't want to talk about it' I said. because it's not like I'll be able to talk to you about anything after today. I'm never even going to see you again.
'Andy, please' Donna was worried. She was always worried when she thought something was wrong.
'Don't worry about it' I insisted. 'It's nothing really'
'You sure?' Donna asked.
'Yeah' if you believe that you'll believe anything. 'Try ringing Rose's mobile, she could just be out looking for you'
Donna smiled. 'You always think of everything.' She picked up the phone, and dialled Rose's number.
'Mum where are you?' She asked. There was a pause where Rose obviously answered. 'What d'you mean "you could ask me the same question" Mum I'm at home'…'You're at the park? Like roll reverse…So what did you decide?'…'what?'…'Mum are you serious?'… 'Ok I'll see you in a minute'
'What'd she say?' I asked when Donna had put the phone down.
'That its my decision' Donna replied, looking lost and confused.
