HURT & COMFORT
The Doctor laid with Rose on her bed in the Tyler flat.
He gently stroked her hair, as she rested her head on his chest.
He was trying to build up the confidence, to ask Rose about his other self, and where he was.
Rose was thinking the same thing.
"Doctor, can i ask you something?"
Pulled out of his day dreams the Doctor looked down at her, worried.
"Course you can, what is it?"
Rose hesitated once again, thinking on how to ask.
She sat up to face the Doctor, finding that it didn't help in the slightest.
"Did you know that he was a 'monster'?, your otherself i mean!".
The Doctor froze. A monster?. What the hell had happened?
Rose had turned her head from the Doctor, as he tried to stroke her cheek. She back away slowly.
The Doctor looked on in suprise.
"Rose, what happened?" He asked sternly but gently.
Tears flooded down her face, beginning to cry hysterically.
The Doctor pulled Rose close to him, despite her efforts to get away. She eventually gave up, and sobbed endlessly into his chest. She wrapped herself up for safety into his body!
There was no need to guess. The Doctor knew just then what had happened. But why? And why did he forget his other self?
