Disclaimer: In Tahiti, there is no such concept as money. In the 1700s. In the movie "Mutiny on the Bounty." In Tahiti 1775, I co-own Doctor Who with Fletcher Christian.
A/N: A heartbreaking little tidbit for Donna and Rose, but mostly for our lonely Doctor.
Forever Companions
How many times can I break 'til I shatter? –OAR (Shattered)
It was the ones who promised him forever that broke his heart the worst. Because when they said forever, they meant it, and he believed them, even if reason said it could not be.
Losing them hurt most because they didn't leave because they wanted to but because nothing could bring them back.
They were the ones who made him smile the brightest, who made him laugh the loudest and who made him sad the deepest.
They were the ones who fought back, even with him if they had to. They were the ones who never gave up, even on him if that's what it came to. They weren't scared to stand up for what was right. They didn't take no for an answer. They were his equals.
They had pledged to never leave him, and none had been lying, for he felt their presences still, no matter how long had passed.
The ones who promised him forever were the ones who never stopped haunting him.
They promised him forever, and it was for forever that he lost them. They were his forever companions.
From then on, he resolved never to take on another. And if he ever did, he'd make sure they knew there was a limit because if one more promised him forever, his hearts might just shatter.
A/N: Review, and all your wishes will come true. Or I'll be a little happy at least.
