It had been almost a month, relative time, since Rose and I had taken our relationship to the next level and I was loving it. The cheeky little teases that no one else understood. The random make out sessions in dark back alley ways. The nightly cuddling. The flirting. The lovemaking.

It made me forget about the pain in my head for a little while.

We had just visited Jackie and Mickey for Rose's birthday. Rose had received a necklace from her mum. It was a simple silver but looked perfect around her neck. Mickety Mick Mickey had gotten her a bracelet to match.

I, on the other hand, had taken her to Hildabran 9. A planet that she had been wanting to visit since I told her about the bioluminescent jellyfish that swam through the sky.

She had insisted on going to the market for the shopping while I was hounded by Jackie. When she came back she had about twelve bags hanging off her hip. She had quickly disposed of them before heading to the loo.

"Doctor", Rose called from the kitchen, "Can you grab my phone off the console? It's in my jacket"

"Yeah", I called back while I was bent over the jumper seat fixing my trainers.

I went around the console looking for the jacket in question, eventually finding it resting on the ground.

I had given it to her a couple weeks after I regenerated. I knew she had always like my leather jacket and I had wanted her to have it.

I searched the pockets looking for her phone until I found it.

'4 UNREAD MESSAGES', the screen read.

Not wanting her to break into her personals, I quickly put the phone into my pocket before heading to the kitchen.

"Do you want some popcorn?", Rose asked as she threw a couple of popped kernals into her open mouth, "We could do a film?"

"Sounds good", I said leaning against the wall.

"What do you want to see?", Rose asked putting the popcorn into a bowl.

"How about Broadchurch", I suggested, "Or How to Train Your Dragon?"

Rose smiled, "Dragon".

There was that smile, the smile that made her eyes light up and the universe seem like a good place.

"Alrighty then", I said with a large goofy smile before turning to go turn the telly on.

"Fizzy lemonade?", I heard Rose ask from the kitchen.

Phone, I thought walking back to her.

"Yes, sorry, I forgot to give you your phone. Fizzy lemonade would be great", I said handing her the phone.

I walked to the home theatre and set up everything for the film.

I couldn't help but wonder about the four messages on Rose's phone, something about it just begged attention, but I wasn't sure why.

I felt guilty for wanting to know the content of the messages, but quickly washed it from my mind.

After waiting for what felt like forever for Rose, I started to get worried and I went to go find her.

"Rose", I called walking into the console room. No reply.

I walked into the kitchen hoping to find her being held up by the fizzy lemonade. Nothing.

The bowl with popcorn was on the table tipped over, popcorn laid untouched on the table as if the bowl had been dropped. The beginnings of fizzy lemonades laid spread out on the counter top, incomplete.

I turned towards the door and called for Rose loudly.

Hearing no reply or anything for that matter I took off heading towards her room.

I could feel my hearts racing.

I knew something was wrong, I thought as my feet hit the ground, everyone quicker then the one before.

After an eternity, I stood outside Rose's room.

The door was locked.

I rapped on the door quickly.

I heard a loud bump from behind the door and was about to break the door down when I heard Rose, "What is it?"

"Rose, are you okay?", I asked my head against the door now.

"Why wouldn't I be?", She said more than asked.

"We were suppose to be watching a film", I said getting really suspicious.

"Oh, Yes. Well I don't feel so well right now. I am going to lay down", she said.

"Rose, why don't you open the door and I'll lay down with you", I said hoping she would open the door.

"I am going to take a shower first, see if that helps any. I'll be ages so no point in waiting about", she said.

"Alright", I said unconvinced, "If you need anything just shout".

I turned to walk away before I hear Rose's voice again, obviously on her mobile, "Yeah Mum. Yeah. Yeah. Listen I can't talk right now. I just told him I was going to take a shower so I better go before he gets suspicious. Alright, I will. Alright. I love you too Mum. I will okay, bye".
