I don't own anything from Doctor Who, and I hope you enjoy!
Clara was sitting at the kitchen table with the Angie and Artie. They had supposedly pulled a prank on one prank on the principal of their school, and Clara was contemplating a suitable punishment.
"I could take away all of your electronics for a month. Oh, maybe I could make you clean your rooms for once instead of letting you leave them looking like pig sties!" Clara said, pacing around the kitchen now.
Artie's eyes went wide as he said, "You can't take away our electronics! The Doctor told me to never lose that army simulator that he brought me!"
Clara frowned at hearing his name, and then she turned to Artie. "I'm pretty sure that the Doctor wouldn't want you to remove the screws from your principal's chair either!"
Angie shrugged and said, "You have no proof that we even did that. She is a pretty big lady after all."
Clara frowned and said, "I do have proof. One, there was a screwdriver in your backpack. Two, you were both seen coming in and out of the principal's office before this happened. And three, Artie's about to spill."
Artie shook his head and swallowed "We… didn't do anything!" He said.
Clara nodded and said, "Alright. Maybe you'll change your mind if I told you that I hid your PSP and Amelia Williams books! You don't get them back, unless you tell the truth."
Artie swallowed again as both of the girls were staring at him with narrowed eyes. He turned to Clara and shook his head. She took a step closer, and he felt a bead of sweat trickle across his eyebrow. He was turning red, almost as if he was holding his breath. Finally he gave in and said, "YeswediditbutAngiemademeIdidn'tanactuallywantto. I'm sorry, Clara."
Clara smirked in triumph and took a step back. "Well, it came out a bit fast but that's good enough. Artie, I'll let you off easier than Angie. Let's see, what to do. I could…" She was interrupted by a loud sound. It was the sound she had been longing to hear for months. She gasped and turned towards the window. "Doctor." She whispered. At the sight of the blue police box she ran out the door.
Angie smirked and said, "I guess we're off the hook after all. No thanks to you!"
Artie shrugged and said, "She had my Amelia Williams books! What else was I supposed to do?!"
Angie rolled her eyes and said, "You and your books. You could've stood up for your sister! I should've never brought you along on that prank."
ooooOOOoooo
Clara had to stop herself from running to the Doctor and hugging him as he stepped out of the TARDIS. She was supposed to be mad at him, but she couldn't help but be relieved to see him again. She stopped three steps away from him. He looked at her with sorrow filled eyes and said, "Clara, I'm so…"
"God damn it, I know your sorry! You only said it a million times that night that you… left!" Clara yelled, taking one step closer.
The Doctor sighed and said, "Clara…"
Clara shook her head and said, "No, I get to talk this time! Don't but in until I'm finished talking!" He nodded. "What the hell is wrong with you?! You just left me here, for months! I had no idea if you were coming back or… or if you were dead or… if you were never going to come back! You have no idea how pissed I am!' There were tears in her eyes now. "Do you have any idea how you affect me?! Do you have any idea how painful this has been for me?! I am so god damn in love with you that every second you were gone I just wanted you to come back! You have no idea how hard this has been, to wait for months for you to come back! The whole time not knowing if you would! Why the hell would you do that to me?! Do I just not matter enough for you to even care?! Do you not remember what I did for you?! Do you not remember what happened at Trenzalore?!" Tears were rolling down her face now. She had taken another step forward.
The Doctor looked down at the enraged Clara, and he didn't know what to say. Her words stung, and he was at a loss. He searched his mind for something to say back, and then he got mad. He got mad at himself, again. He was making Clara cry… again. He looked down, and then back at her tear streaked face. "Clara… of course I remember." He said, reaching a hand out to caress her cheek.
She smacked it away and said, "Are you sure?! Because you're sure acting like none of that ever happened! Like I never got torn into pieces, just to save you! I needed you, Doctor. I still do! These past months have been pure torture for me! Do you have any idea what it feels like to have memories of a thousand lives running around in your head?!"
"I know… okay! I know I should have stayed! But I couldn't! I couldn't after what I did!" He yelled back at her.
She was shocked for a second, but she quickly replied with, "After what?! You hit me! Big deal! I'm not even mad about that!"
The Doctor shook his head and said, "That's not the only thing. I couldn't stand seeing you in pain, and knowing I caused it! I was the reason you had those nightmares! I am the reason you're crying right now! It's my fault, and I can't live with that! I can't leave with knowing that all I ever do is cause you pain! And don't even get me started on having too many memories jumbling around in my head! You don't know what I've been through!"
Clara frowned and said, "What you've been through! So, you lost friends! That's nothing compared to losing you! I know that you know how it feels to lose someone that means so much to you. Imagine feeling that, but a thousand times worse, over and over again! My nightmares now aren't just memories of me dying! They're memories of not being able to save you! The only nightmares I have are about losing you!"
They were in each other's faces now. Their rough breaths reaching the others tear stained faces. The Doctor grabbed Clara's face and slammed his lips against hers. She complied with no hesitation, savoring the feeling of his lips on hers. His tongue slowly entered her mouth, and she let out a soft moan.
When they finally let go of each other Clara was gasping for breath. The anger was gone now, but not the sadness of him being gone for so long. She collapsed against him and said "I missed you so… much." He didn't even mind his jacket getting stained.
He moved the hair out of her face and said, "I'm so sorry, Clara. I'll never leave you again. I… I don't want to see you like this ever again." He kissed the top of her head.
She looked up at him through her tears and said, "You have to promise me."
He nodded and said, "I promise you." She smiled and moved closer to him, if that was even possible.
The Doctor looked down as she gasped and said, "The kids!" She pulled away from him and started wiping her tears away. She ran back to the house, the Doctor not too far behind.
