The next morning David was getting ready to leave for work. He stood outside Amy's door, they hadn't spoken since yesterday but he wanted to put some effort in ending this mess.
"Amy, I'm getting ready to go," He said to a closed door. After a period of silence David sighed leaning against the door frame. "Okay, have a good day at school and think about what you want for dinner tonight…and why am I talking to a door?" He muttered.
He turned to leave just as the door opened and Amy slowly stepped out. She saw his shoulders slumped and felt bad for how she had acted. "Hey, David?" Amy called out.
He paused and looked at her. "Yeah?"
Amy sighed tugging at her watch strap. "Um, your bracelet makes a very nice fashion statement." She said softly glancing up at him hoping he'd forgive her.
Then he smiled. "I love you, too ginger." She went up to him and hugged him tight. "I do appreciate what you do for me." Amy said slowly pulling away.
David shoved his hands in his pockets. "I know and I do act like more like a dad than a brother sometimes and I'm sorry." Amy shook her head. "It's okay I know you're stressed out especially about little Casey," "At least you care about me." She shrugged.
He smiled at his little sister and gently tapped her arm. "Listen, why don't we do something this weekend?"
Amy grinned. "Really?" David nodded. "Yeah and I promise to act like an annoying big brother, too." He teased. "Oh, so you'll just act like your old self?" She joked back.
"Oi'," He smirked gently tapping her nose making her smile. "So are we good?" David asked hopeful.
"Depends can I borrow the car?" She teased. David gave her a playful look. "Don't push it, ginger." She shrugged. "Can't blame me for trying." He smiled at her before hugging her again then left for work.
When David got to the hospital he stopped by the front desk and was greeted by the receptionist Clara. "Morning, Clara." David said grabbing a piece candy and the hospital schedule. He leaned against the desk looking through it.
"Morning." Clara scowled. "What I do?" He asked. "I wish you'd stop taking candy from my desk." She sighed. "How do you know it's me?" David replied. " She gave him a look. "Please, I've always known it's you."
David shrugged. "Well, stop having better candy than me and maybe I will." He joked. She smirked taking the folder from him and lightly hitting him with it prompting him to duck.
"Oi'!" He grinned then continued looking through the folder. "Listen, is Matt anywhere? I need to talk to him about Timmy Jones. It's looking like he's ready to be discharged." He said handing it back to her.
"Really?" She smiled. "Yep, thanks to your boyfriend he's made some incredible progress." He smiled. "That's great! Matt will be so pleased!" Clara exclaimed. David nodded. "Good so where is he?"
Clara shrugged. "I don't know last I saw him he was heading to the auditorium." He frowned. "He's not supposed to go there only interns and volunteers are." "Well, I can go get him." She offered. "Thanks, I've got medicine updates to do with Mickey. Just tell him I need to see him when you find him." He asked.
Clara nodded and asked a free nurse to watch the desk while she was gone and left.
Later Rose showed up at the hospital auditorium where an intern named Rory was waiting for her. "Hi!" She smiled. "Hi, you must be Rose Tyler, I'm Rory, glad you could make it!" He replied shaking her hand. Rose nodded. "Thanks so what can I do?"
"Well, some of our patients need help coloring decorations later." He replied.
Rose smiled. "Okay, that sounds like fun!" Rory nodded smiling. "Yeah it is the kids love it! It's great," "Then maybe you could help Corey, over there hang them up but first could help him hang up the banner?" He added.
Rose nodded. "Sure, sounds good!" He smiled. "Great, I'll come by later and help ya', okay?"
She smiled at him and went to the nearest table to help set up the supplies.
Matt wandered inside the busy auditorium; he had hoped Rose Tyler, his favorite author would be here by now. He searched around before spotting her on a step ladder helping Corey hang up the banner. Matt had to admit she was really pretty.
He straightened his doctor's coat then walked over to her nervously. "Hi!" He said. Rose briefly glanced over her shoulder. "Oh, hello."
"You're Rose Tyler, aren't you?" He grinned. She hopped down from the step ladder. "Yeah, that's me and you are?"
"I'm Dr. Matt Smith. I'm a huge fan of yours!" He gushed.
Rose smiled. "Well, thank you." "I mean your work is amazing especially your last book." He replied. She blushed slightly reaching past him for another push pin. "That's very kind." "Of, course I read your books all the time." He admitted.
She smiled tugging her earring. "Well, I'm glad you enjoy them." Matt then gave her a shy smile. "You're very pretty in person," He then blushed. "I'm sorry, I meant-" "It's alright and thank you." Rose replied feeling slightly awkward.
He smiled coming a little closer towards her. "Uh, it just so happens that I'm interested in writing." Rose could smell his cologne and moved away a little."Are you, now?" She replied pretending to be interested in a box of push pins.
"Yeah and maybe you could give me some writing lessons, later." Matt asked in a tender and friendly tone leaning up against the wall. She arched her eyebrow. She had feeling he was flirting with her or trying to and though she thought he was nice Rose really wasn't interested.
Before she could respond a girl could be heard behind him clearing her throat. "Am I interrupting?"
Matt turned and a petite, medium height brown haired girl stood there with her hands on her hips looking cross. He smiled nervously pulling her close to him. "Oh, this is Clara Oswald, the receptionist. She's my friend."
"Friend?" She scowled. "Well, girlfriend, I mean," Matt corrected sheepishly. "Clara, this is Rose Tyler, the famous author!"
Rose smiled. "How do you do?" She extended her hand but Clara didn't shake it.
Clara folded her arms. "Yes, I've heard of her." She replied unimpressed.
Rose smile turned awkward. "Great, I would be meeting the jealous girlfriend." She remarked to herself.
Matt gave a nervous cough. "Um, Clara is a fan, too." She gave him a funny look. "No, I'm not. I like Jane Austin."
He turned crimson. "Oh, th-that's right. You and Jane Austin are just so similar it g-gets confusing."
Rose was beginning to feel uncomfortable. Whatever was going on there she wanted nothing to do with. She cleared her throat. "Um, if you'll excuse me I need to get ready to help the kids." She smiled politely walking past them.
As soon as she was gone Clara glared at him. "What?" Matt said. "I'm your friend?" She scoffed. "Friend, girlfriend it's the same thing," He replied innocently. "I was nervous about meeting Rose Tyler." Matt insisted.
Clara bit the inside of her cheek and nodded. "Didn't know you were a fan." "What's wrong with that?" He asked. "Nothing, nothing," Clara shrugged. "I hope you enjoy your writing lessons with her, you son of a bitch!" She snapped storming off.
"Clara? Clara! Clara, wait!" He begged going after her.
Meanwhile David was walking down the hall with Mickey. "So are you and Amy talking again?" David smiled. "Yep, we're even doing something fun this weekend."
Mickey grinned. "That's great, what did you two have planned?" He shrugged. "Oh, I thought we go roller blad-" David started to say but was interrupted when Clara quickly brushed past them with Matt chasing after her. "Clara, please! Baby, wait it's not like that!" "Drop dead!" She shouted.
Mickey scoffed looking at him strangely. "What was that about?" David sighed. "Don't know but apparently I'm running a soap opera instead of a hospital, excuse me." He replied going after them.
