Chapter 6
Rose peeled her head off of her pillow. Had she been dreaming? Rose didn't remember, but her face was wet with fresh tears, and the TARDIS was still humming. She had probably had another nightmare and had forgotten it, but that was better than remembering.
Rose glanced at her clock. Five-thirty in the morning. At least she had gotten a few hours of sleep. Rose stood up, not wanting to go back to sleep, and made her way over to the bathroom connected to her bedroom.
Rose opened the door to her bathroom and stepped inside. She turned the lights on dim and looked into her mirror. Her eyes were red and puffy, as if she had been crying for a long time.
She probably had.
Rose turned on the faucet and splashed her face with cold water.
Rose was drenched in sweat, so she stripped off her sweaty pajamas and turned on the shower. When the water was warm enough, she stepped in and let the water roll down her, rinsing away all the sweat and tear stains.
She showered quickly and stepped out. Rose dried herself and pulled on a pink tank top and some pink shorts. She brushed out her wet hair and tied it up with a pink rubber band.
Rose was starting to realize that almost everything she owned was pink.
She crept towards the door and peeked outside. The hallway was empty, that was good. Rose tiptoed down the hall, where she heard a very Doctor sounding "ow!" come from the console room.
Rose smiled to herself and walked through the doorway that led to the library. Rose sat down on the soft couch where she and her Doctor would always sit and read books. Mostly Harry Potter.
She brought her feet up onto the couch and looked around sadly, memories rushing through her head. She loved this Doctor, as in a friend… just a friend… but the Doctor she travelled with, the Doctor she learned to love, her trench coat and spiky hair Doctor, would always be her Doctor.
Rose closed her eyes. She soon felt a few tears beginning to form. "Don't cry, please." Someone said from in front of her.
Rose gasped, but didn't look up. Her breathing sped up and she slowly lifted her head, and there he was. Her Doctor.
He was really there. "What?" She asked. The Doctor stared at her. "What?!" She yelled.
"Rose, what's wrong?" The Doctor asked. But not the new Doctor, no, it was her trench coat and spiky hair Doctor.
She stared at him. "This isn't real. It can't be." Rose said.
"Rose, look at me. Are you okay? Are you hurt?" The Doctor scanned her with his sonic screwdriver, his blue sonic screwdriver. "No, your fine." He said, glancing at the sonic.
"You're here… but this can't be happening." Rose told him, tears beginning to leak out of her eyes. Without thinking she yanked him forward and kissed him, one thought running through her head. I love you. And then everything faded and she opened her eyes. Rose was still lying on the couch in the library. It had all been a dream
She curled up into a ball. It was all too much, the nightmares, the sleep deprivation, and now this.
It had felt real, everything around her felt solid. That kiss had felt so real. She couldn't stand it, all that being fake was killing her. A sob escaped Rose's lips, and she clamped her mouth shut, forgetting that Amy's room was just across the hall.
Just move the library so I can be alone. Rose thought, hoping the TARDIS could actually do that. Rose assumed she was in a better place, and she broke down again, tears rolling down her cheeks
"New new Doctor." Rose said sadly. "I fall in love with the stupid alien and then I lose him all over again."
Rose didn't know who she was talking to, and she didn't care. She had to let that out. The TARDIS started humming softly, and slowly Rose fell back asleep.
Yes, short chapter, I know.
