~~A.N.~~ So this is a bit of a more deeper chapter, also don't own the lyrics to the song HOw TO save a life by the Fray
Sylvia gave me some pajamas and shower stuff for me to use so that I'd be able to get clean before I went out to with Gramps to look out at the stars. I let myself up to the same room that I had stayed in while I was a kid a large smile spread across my face, it was just like how it was when I was a kid. A pang of sadness hit my chest but I pushed it aside as I strode into the bathroom, the tiles were the same whitewash color that seemed to be speckled with sand, there was normal brand name shampoo and conditioner in the shower, then the home made lavender soap. It was a clear soap with flecks of actual lavender in it, as a kid it had always made my skin soft and made me smell like lavender.
I turned to the vanity mirror and picked up the brush starting to comb out my silver hair, I looked so different, but they still knew immediately that it was me. My mom would have described it as kin calling to kin, that no matter what I looked like I would always be their family. I sighed stretching as I turned on the hot water in the shower waiting for it to warm up before I stepped in. At first it began as just a little humming before it eclipsed into actually signing.
"Step one you say we need to talk
He walks you say sit down it's just a talk
He smiles politely back at you
You stare politely right on through
Some sort of window to your right
As he goes left and you stay right
Between the lines of fear and blame
And you begin to wonder why you came
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
Let him know that you know best
Cause after all you do know best
Try to slip past his defense
Without granting innocence
Lay down a list of what is wrong
The things you've told him all along
And pray to God, he hears you
And I pray to God, he hears you
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
As he begins to raise his voice
You lower yours and grant him one last choice
Drive until you lose the road
Or break with the ones you've followed
He will do one of two things
He will admit to everything
Or he'll say he's just not the same
And you'll begin to wonder why you came
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
How to save a life
How to save a life
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
How to save a life
How to save a life"
The Fray had been a favorite of mine because like Coldplay they used real piano in their music, using the soap I massaged out the kinks and the soreness in my body. Letting the warm water relax me, like washing away bad dreams, once I was done I dried off and put on the pajamas that consisted of a tight tank top and sweatpants. I french braided my hair letting it fall down my back, the braid bouncing as I walked. Making my way to the door back into the bedroom I froze seeing the Doctor,he was changing pulling off his shirt revealing his toned lower abdomen. Once it was over his head I could see the jagged white scar on his chest, shaped like a curved moon, he had seen me but he didn't move or make any protests as I reached forward to run my fingertips over the scar.
I looked up into his face trying to gauge his reaction before I put both of my hands flat on his chest putting my head right above my hand. His hand reached around my waist holding me against him, I blushed and he lowered his head to mine, I instinctively got up on my toes to reach him. Before our lips could touch there was a loud banging on the door making us jump away from each other.
" I'm ready when you are Alexandra!" Gramps called through the door before I heard his foot falls headed down the stairs.
" Ok! I'll be there in a second," I head towards the doctor again, jumping up and kissing him gently on the cheek before running out to my grandpa.
We walked out into the chilly evening, up to the same hill that we always went to, I helped him set up the telescope, then laid in the grass besides the telescope as Gramps sat on his cooler. Hours passed and we chatted with each other about random things, I loved the time I could spend with him doing just simple things.
" You love him don't you?" Gramps asked me suddenly.
" Who do you mean gramps?" I said blushing looking up at Gramps.
" Him. The Doctor, you love him don't you Alexandra?" he asked looking down at my looking away from the telescope.
"Yes... I really do," then I fell asleep in the soft grass.
