Danny dropped Rose off at her parents house. Rose leaned in the car window and said. "Listen Danny I-"
He stopped her and smiled. "It's okay Rose I know you still have feelings for John."
"I'm sorry." She replied softly.
"It's okay but I would suggest you tell him how you feel before it's too late." Danny advised.
Rose just nodded and thanked him for the ride.
She slowly went inside and saw Jackie sitting in the living room watching T.V.
"You're home early. How was the party?" Jackie asked.
"Horrible!" She replied.
"I'm sorry sweetheart." Jackie said.
Rose swallowed. "Mum, I've decided I want to go back home."
"Are you sure you'll be okay?" She said.
Rose nodded. "Yeah, I'll be fine." She lied.
"Okay but if you need anything let us know." Jackie said.
She smiled. "I will."
Rose then quickly gathered her things and kissed her mum goodbye.
When she got there she was feeling tired and stressed out and immediately went to take a shower to feel better.
Leaning her head under the water it felt so soothing and warm but her spirit still felt broken.
Rose missed John, she wanted John and she was tired of living without him.
Rose decided to take Danny's advice; she was going to talk to John.
After getting out of the shower she called Amy and got the address to the apartment as well as John's apartment number.
Hanging up the phone she was starting to feel a little better.
The next morning she got dressed and went to his apartment.
She felt nervous and anxious as she approached his door.
She was about to knock when she noticed the door was ajar; she looked inside and it was empty.
Rose was stunned; there was no sign of John anywhere.
No furniture, clothes, curtains just nothing.
Rose shook her head in disbelief.
"No, no he couldn't have left. John would've told me, wouldn't he?" She said to herself.
She was so confused and shocked she almost didn't hear a man's voice calling her.
"Miss, Miss?" He said.
Rose snapped out of her thoughts and turned to see a short red-headed man standing in the doorway.
"Uh, yes?" She replied.
He smiled. "Hello, I'm Mr. Pond the land lord. Are you interested in looking at the apartment?"
She shook her head. "No sir, um did John Smith move?"
"Uh, yes he did about three days ago." Mr. Pond said.
She swallowed. "Do you know where?"
He shook his head. "I'm sorry Miss I have no idea."
She smiled slightly. "Thank you I'll just be going now."
"Are you alright?" He asked concerned.
Rose nodded. "Yeah, I'm fine. Thank you."
She got out of their as fast as she could; the tears were welling up in her eyes but she refused to cry in public.
When Rose finally made to her car she lost the battle and burst into tears.
That night John was restless; he felt guilty for not telling Rose he'd moved but he wondered if she would even have cared.
He sighed and stared at the ceiling till he felt his eyelids drooping.
Suddenly the phone rang startling him.
He glanced at the caller I.d and groaned, it was U.N.I.T.
"Hello?" He said.
"Hello sir?" A female voice said.
"Yes." John yawned.
"We need you over here right away, the alien attack starts tonight."
He sighed. "I'll be there in five minutes."
He hung up the phone and shook his head. "I hate these late night missions."
John got into his U.N.I.T. gear and started to leave but he paused and wondered if he should call Rose.
Then he shook his head and dismiss the idea and left.
The next day Rose came into work feeling depressed and bitter but she was starting to get used to it.
She slammed her bag on the table surprising Jake.
"Whoa!" He said.
"Sorry." Rose mumbled.
"Hey, are you alright?" He asked.
"No." She replied.
"I heard what happened." He said.
"Congratulations." Rose grumbled.
"I know it's rough but it'll get better." Jake assured her.
She glared at him. "I am sick of hearing that! Would everyone stop pretending they know what I'm going thru!"
Rose buried her face in her hands.
"Rose-" Jake started to say but Rose stopped him.
"Jake, I appreciate it but I want to be alone right now." She said softly.
He nodded and left the room.
She sat there staring at the table until she heard Pete dash thru the door in a panic.
"Rose!" He exclaimed out of breath.
"What is it?" She asked.
"You need to come to the hospital, now!" He said.
"Has something happened to mum?" Rose replied worried.
Pete shook his head. "No, it's John. He was critically wounded while on an alien mission for U.N.I.T.!"
