A/N: Alright, I honestly don't know how long this took me, but if you look at the small amount, I think it's safe to say that this took me ages.
I've been pretty doubtful about this one though. It was one of those points in a story where you can go one of two ways: You can let it drag on and risk it getting boring, or you can start the end. In this case, I started the end, simply because dragging it on didn't seem right somehow. I honestly hope I made the right decision. If I didn't then, well, I'm sorry...
Without further ado, chapter 5! Enjoy! ^^

'So.' He said as he jumped down from the sidewalk onto the street, halting for a moment, hands deep in his pockets.
'So?'
'What'll you do now?'
'I honestly don't know. Might throw myself off a bridge or something.' He turned back to me, eyes wide in surprise.
'You can't.' He whispered.
'Probably don't have the guts, no. But still, there's not much left now, is there? I have no obligations to anyone now.'
'You have one to me.' I frowned.
'You?'
'Yes, if you're going to talk like that then I might as well have left you there. You owe me your life and it's your obligation to me to live it to the fullest.' He turned and continued his way, I followed.
'What'll you do?'
'Traveling. Same old, same old.'
'Traveling? So... you're an adventurer?' I was intrigued.
'I guess you could say that. And to be honest, I think I'm in need of someone who can accompany me on those adventures.' Helping him seemed a better use of my time than anything else I'd ever do.
'C-can I apply for this job?' He turned around, shook my hand and smiled.
'You're hired!'
'Really?'
'Of course really. What else?'
'I don't know.'
'Me neither. Let's get going.' With a child's most cheerful smile we continued, him still holding my hand.

'Where would you like to go?' He asked me once we were inside the blue box.

'I've always wanted to go to Midnight, mom said it was her dream to-' My breath caught. What was I saying? Mom? Midnight? The Doctor calmly walked up to me and looked into my eyes, seeing my uncertainty and fear.
'Do you own a fob watch?' He asked calmly. I took the little watch from my pocket and stared at it. How did he know?
'It was found with me. It's broken though, nothing special.'
'Can I see it for a second?'
'Sure.' I carefully handed him the thing and watched as he examined it. He handed it back to me.

'Open it.' He said, sounding hopeful.
'Why?'
'Just open it.' Now it was impatience in his voice.
'I don't-'
'Open the damn thing!' I shrank back at that and stared at him, his eyes were fixed on the device in my hands. I clicked it open and looked down at the bright light it emanated, normally I would've flickered my eyes, but I couldn't even take my eyes off it. Voices swirled through my head and my vision turned completely white, then black and then regained color again. The Doctor had moved backwards. I held my pounding head and groaned.
'That kind of hurt...' I muttered as I straightened my back and looked up. The Doctor was staring at me, utter disbelief in his eyes.
'You...'
'I'm a Time Lord, yeah, don't look all surprised. It's not as if you weren't expecting it.' I said as I held stretched my arms and legs, realizing that my leg wasn't broken anymore. 'I must admit though, I practically forgot what it felt like.' I laughed. 'I feel soooo alive!' The Doctor was still locked in his baffled state. I waved my hand in front of his eyes and frowned when he didn't move even an inch.
'Come on. It's not that bad, is it? I mean, it's not like I suddenly turned incredibly ugly or anything, right?' He still didn't move.
'Is it Midnight? Bad memories or something? Fine, forget Midnight. Let's head back to Gallifrey, I have to say hi to my parents. Haven't seen them in what? 100 Years?' His eyes widened.
'Galli... frey?'
'Yeah, Time Lord. Do you suffer from amnesia?' He shook his head.
'No, just... this...' He slowly walked towards me, taking such small steps that it took him at least five to cross a meter. When he was incredibly close, he slowly put his arms around me and just hugged me.
'You're scaring me, Doctor.' I said as I tried to push him off, not succeeding even one bit. 'What's wrong?'

'Everything's gone.' I barely even heard him the first time.
'What?' He pulled back and laid his hands on my shoulders, staring at me once again.
'Gallifrey is gone.' I frowned.
'Stop joking around.' But I could see in his eyes that he wasn't joking.
'The Time Lords as well. I'm the last one and now… You.'
'I don't believe you!' I said as I stepped backwards.
'But it's the truth!' He walked up to me and put his hand on my forehead. 'I'll show you.'

The red grass on fire. The orange sky on fire. The citadel on fire. My home was burning. Everything was burning.

As soon as he let me go I fell to the ground, shivering with tears streaming down my cheeks. That's why it felt so empty. There was no one left. No one but the Doctor.
'But… I haven't even... I didn't…' I didn't know what to say, words seemed to mean nothing anymore. He crouched down in front of me and smiled.
'I'm sorry, but you had to see it for yourself to believe it.' In a fit of sadness, I threw myself at him and sobbed into his suit.
'Everything's gone!'
'I know.' He patted my head and cradled me in his arms, rocking back and forth on a slow and steady rhythm.
'I know.'
