Rose woke up the next morning feeling horrible.
She dragged herself downstairs and saw her parents eating breakfast.
She really didn't feel like talking but of course they did.
"How are you?" Jackie asked.
She just shrugged.
"You want to talk about it?" Pete asked.
"Not really." Rose replied.
"I think you should." Jackie said.
"I don't want to." She grumbled.
"You might feel better." Pete added.
"Fine, I still love John and I'm completely miserable! Happy now?" She snapped.
Her parent's didn't know how to respond to her outburst.
She noticed they were looking at each other; Rose knew they were hiding something.
"What?" Rose said.
"Um, honey we're throwing a farewell party for John." Pete said.
"Great." She grumbled.
"And we've arranged a date for you with Danny at the party." He added.
"What!" Rose exclaimed.
Danny was a scientist at Torchwood; a nice guy, not bad-looking but he wasn't John.
"We were only trying to help." Jackie replied.
"Don't help! I'm not going!" She said.
"Sweetheart, John's gone; it's time to move on." Pete said.
Rose shook her head. "I can't."
"It's only a date. We're not asking you to marry him." Pete replied.
"Please, you might have fun." Jackie said.
She rolled her eyes. "Fine but I'm never forgetting this."
Before they could answer Rose excused herself from the table.
She raced upstairs to her room, slammed the door and cried.
On the night of the party Rose tried to look nice; she wore a blue dress and matching heels.
When Danny picked her up she tried to smile but it was to hard to with a broken heart.
"Are you alright?" He asked.
She nodded. "Yeah just tired."
Danny smiled and took her arm and led her to the car.
They got to the party and Rose looked around the crowded room.
It was decorated in blues and gold's and a banner hung over head that read "Good Luck John!" in bold letters.
"Can I get you anything?" Danny asked.
Rose saw this as an opportunity to find John.
"Some punch would be nice." She said.
He smiled and went to get her some.
She started walking around looking for John.
When she found him her heart melted; he looked so handsome in his blue suit.
He spotted her and walked towards her.
"Hi!" He said.
Rose smiled. "Hi."
"How have you been?" He asked.
"Fine." She lied.
"I saw you coming with Danny, is he your date?" John said.
"Yeah. What about you?" Rose asked.
John shook his head. "No, I'm alone."
Looking into his brown eyes Rose wanted to tell him she loved him and wanted him but Danny interrupted that idea.
"Hi, Rose, I got you your punch." Danny said.
"Thanks." Rose replied sadly.
Danny smiled at John. "Hi, John it's a shame to see you leave."
John sighed. "Yeah but it's time to move on."
His words stung Rose and she lowered her eyes.
"Well, good luck man!" He said.
"Thanks, I've got to get going, bye." John said.
Rose watched him leave, the man she loved just walk away.
Rose suddenly felt ill, the idea of even standing next to another man made her sick.
She quickly handed Danny her drink and excused herself.
Rose ran for the bathroom and quickly got sick in one of the stalls before bursting into tears.
As she cried she wanted to go home; go home and pack her things and go back to her flat.
Rose had enough and just wanted to be alone.
As soon as she had composed herself Rose left the restroom to look for Danny.
John was standing in the corner of the room staring at the decorations.
He was feeling depressed and wished the party was over.
He smiled slightly as he thought of Rose, she looked so beautiful in that dress.
John then thought of her walking in with Danny and cringed.
It did hurt to see her with someone else but nothing he could do about it.
Just then he saw Danny approach him. "Hey, John have you seen Rose?"
He shook his head. "No but she might have of gone to the ladies."
Then Danny saw Rose and went to her.
"Hi, you don't look so good." He said concerned.
"Can you take me home?" Rose asked.
He nodded. "Sure."
She took one last glance at John before leaving.
John watched them leave and sighed.
"Goodbye Rose Tyler." He thought sadly.
