Wello! :D
Sorry if my ficy is making you cry :P
From now on I'm going to try to give a reason for why I wrote the one shot. :)
The Rope Becomes the Noose: This chapter is sort of just about certain things that get missed and how, even as small as they are, they never should have been.
When the light leaves Donna's eyes, when her smiles become fake and forced, when her laugh becomes a distant memory, when the words "I'm fine." become the most used words in her vocabulary, when it's a mission for her just to get out of bed in the morning, that's when someone, anyone should realize something is wrong, that's when someone, anyone should become the rope she clings to just to survive.
When the light burns bright in Donna's eyes, when her smiles start to become real, when her laugh is the sound heard above all else, when the words "I'm fine." cease to be not so secret code for "I'm really, rather not fine at all.", when she bounces out of bed in the morning, that's when someone, anyone should smile, laugh, indulge her happiness, that's when someone, anyone should become the rock she knows is always there if she has to step out onto murky waters.
When the light starts to fade from Donna's eyes again, when her smiles start to lose that glow, when her laugh starts to be drowned out, when the words "I'm fine." are the first and last words heard from her lips each day, when she refuses to and can't get out of bed in the morning, that's when someone should realize they've seen all this before. This is the time when the rope should not turn into the noose. It's when the rock should not turn into the step that helps her up.
When all light has gone from Donna's eyes, when her smile is nowhere to be seen, when her laugh is silent, when the words "I'm fine." were the last thing heard, when she's not to be found in her bed every morning, that's when someone realizes they were too late.
R&R
A/N: I think I might do another one that is sort of a continuation of this one, that will have the Doctor in it... maybe. :) Anyway, Ciao!
