Hey guys, so so so sorry it's taken me so long to write/post this especially since it's kind of short... I've had a bunch of tests and even a couple state exams so it's been hectic! As soon as our EoC's are over I will try to update this story every couple weeks since I also am working on one other story on here!

Anyways, enjoy!

Rose Tyler, Parallel World

Rose Tyler looked down in anguish at the object which had ended it all.

Her future, her hope, and even her full capacity to love, for fear of having her heart broken again.

She furiously brushed away a stray tear that had snuck down her cheek, turned, and walked out of the room.

4 years previously...

Rose stared at the envelopes being handed to her and her mother, her heart in her throat.

"I am sorry for your loss ma'am," the government official said to her, turning and saying the same to her mother.

Her mind was torn in two; half was angry, and half was confused and consumed in sadness.

'NO YOU'RE NOT! He's just a NAME on a bloody LIST to you!' The angry half screamed at the man in front of her.

Meanwhile, the other half went numb. Absolutely numb. Devoid of feeling, emotion, the will to live.

Rose felt herself begin to shut down.

She heard her mother quietly thanking the man and shutting the door, but it felt like there was cotton in her ears and she was living in a dream.

Ignoring her mum's calls, she stumbled to the guest bedroom (which she was temporarily occupying) and locked the door behind her. Later, she was unable to recall when exactly she managed to get over to the bed and sit down, still dazedly staring down at the professional-looking envelope sitting so pristinely in her hand. Swallowing down her pain and fear, she opened it up and began to read the letter's contents.

"To Mrs. Rose Smith,

We regret to inform you that your husband, Dr. John Smith, was killed in…."

She didn't continue. She already knew what it would tell her. " A terrible accident" "Don't know what happened" "Will conduct an investigation" The usual. Unexplainable. Tragic.

She shouldn't have taken the day off.

She should never have left him at Torchwood.

After that, everything was just a big blur to her. Lots of government and Torchwood officials showing up, asking questions, taking her and her mum to "the scene of the crime" as they so tactfully called it.

And her mum and Tony were the only things that kept her going.

Peter Tyler had also perished in the accident.

Finally, after a week of investigation, they discovered what happened. It turns out that her father, John, and a bunch of other workers had been working on a better dimension hopper, but it went wrong, and they were all blasted into the Void.

They would spend an eternity in hell.

And they would be suffering for her.

She told herself that they had been doing that for a Torchwood intervention somewhere, but she knew in her heart that they had been creating it so that she could go back to her world.

After Torchwood had made that groundbreaking discovery they were finally able to have some peace and plan the funerals. The day of John Smith-her husband's-funeral had quite possibly been the worst day of her life.

But, among the weeks of pain and months of grief, there were bright moments. Tony learned to walk. Rose's would become friends with a couple who moved in next door named Amy and Rory. Mickey began to come 'round to visit her.

And then, finally, she was able to do the impossible.

Rose Tyler moved on.

Hope you liked it and thank you for reading!
