The scars on her arms were proof enough she wasn't okay.
He knew from
The look in her eyes that he saw once a day.
The way she sat hunched over,
And went along with the little games he played.
The way she got smaller and tinier
and didn't care if she never had a say.
His wolf-no not his.
Was not even, "okay."
"Rose" the master spoke up,
him sitting on the piano bench,
Her sitting on the black leather couch
in black leggings on and a hoodie.
When she didn't answer he turned to face her and realized she was asleep with the hood of her sweater over her head.
He gave a small smile and walked up to her, he was never using her, not once.
He had wanted to destroy the doctor always but then she came along and changed his mind. For her, he would do anything, and he knew, he knew that something was wrong, she wasn't alright. The physical and emotional signs were strong.
He despised the doctor but Rose deserved better, and he was trying, he really was.
But... The thought always came up "what if the doctor could help?"
He didn't want to send her away though, after all he had done, he had changed, and the only reason he despised the doctor was because of what he had heard, Rose hand not told the real doctor the truth.
Yes the duplicate or parallel doctor had died for her but she never told the doctor about the numerously countless times he had left her alone or hurt her or cheated.
The duplicate doctor was not her doctor, and the master was trying to get her away, he had hurt her too though. That was his fault and he accepted it.
The master sighed, Rose had given everything up for him, so she could change, die. Leave.
He wouldn't let her, after he had thought about it, he wouldn't let her go, not without a fight, she wasn't going to give her herself up and fall into death willingly, she would be the Rose he remembered before he changed her, before the duplicate came along, before she ran away instead of being sent away. They both knew the right path she should take but were both to afraid to let go.
Amy walked down the TARDIS hallway.
Back and forth. Back and forth.
"Doctor!" She finally yelled, he had been in Rose's room for more than three hours and god knows what he had been doing.
Amy was starting to get bored and Rory didn't want them to be mopping around for the rest of the week and thought it would be best if maybe they all went on a trip.
"Doctor!" She repeated and was then answered by the wild swing of the door opening and a grinning doctor "yes Amelia" he arched and eye brow, Amy mimicked his face but frowned suspiciously.
"Rory thought we should go out -for a trip, you know away from the TARDIS. "
The doctor stood there for a moment, he took a quick look back into the bed room and then replied "one second" there was the slam of a door and shuffling and then the doctor exited Rose's room and swiftly shut the door leading Amy down to the console room with a silly grin, Amy didn't ask.
Rory appeared minutes later, "where do you want to go?" The doctor smiled.
"I was thinking Manhattan" Rory answered slowly with a bemused look.
"Wonderful" the doctor flipped a switch and put in coordinates and the TARDIS engines began.
"Rose" the master spoke, only hours later after she had woken up and finally eaten something.
"Yes" she replied solemnly, "I think..."He choked out "That thing we talked about awhile ago, that-that should happen, you... You should..." He couldn't bring himself to finish. "Why"'Rose asked, her lips pursed.
"I've noticed, your sad Rose, and I don't like it, I mean I'm glad you're here, but I don't want you to be sad" the master explained. Rose tilted her head "I'm not sad" she furrowed her eyebrows. "Don't lie" the master looked up with a strict expression. "I've Already planned for you to jump with a dimension bracelet, it will probably take a few hops but you'll find him quickly" the master continued "don't argue with me about it either."
Rose dropped her fork "but what if I-" "don't argue" the master sighed "please."
That was the last of their conversation before they went to bed.
Rose Crept into his room around eleven and laid down next to him "why are you in here?" The Master mumbled into his pillow.
"Because I think you want me in here" Rose Drew a finger on the back of his neck, "why would I want that" the master questioned her as he turned around, "because you love me" Rose smirked.
"A lot people love you" the master rolled his eyes. "I know, and I love them" Rose told him. This implied she loved him and the doctor "maybe not the same, but I will always love you, and him" "I've loved you since the first day we met" the masters voice hitched, Rose smiled and pushed herself up on her hands and leaned over him "I know" she giggled and leaned down to kiss him on the cheek before leaving for good.
The last words he heard from her sweet voice were "and I forgive you, thank you" and then his door clicked closed as he drifted back to sleep.
This couldn't be happening. This couldn't be happening. This just couldn't.
First Amy was reading a book and Rory went to get coffee.
Then the doctor and her discovered River was there, and so forth. Rory was in trouble. Not Rory. No. Why, why Rory? Why anyone? Why!
They stood on the edge of the winter quay building's roof, were they really doing this?
What about the doctor ... What about her daughter? Screw the doctor, he already has Melody, and Melody will take care of him, and if he doesn't like that, then it's too bad he sent away Rose, oh poor Rose... Amy missed her so much more then she should.
Before she could tell what had happened her and Rory were falling together, arms wrapped around each other, this was her decision, and she loved Rory Williams, so much, that she would die with him rather than without him.
There was a flash of white light and Amy thought she must've been dead-she had to be, did her body hit the pavement and crack?... No... There was grass and a oddly familiar sound-the TARDIS! She could see it of the corner of her eye as her and her husband shot straight up at the same moment with thankful breathes and quiet bits of laughter... They were alive.
Rose hopped to London and to Vancouver, and back to torchwood a couple times, but the tracker on her device finale latched onto a signal to which she assumed was her sister, she sighed. She was doing this.
Not just for herself, but the Master and the doctor, and everyone else who cared. She could only hope River would be okay with it.
Rose landed in Manhattan on the next press of the button. She smirked a bit and then remembered... The dread that had filed Rivers eyes at the mention of its name. "No... " her eyes became wide "no!"
Now she was running, her feet hitting the ground harder and harder, her trainers smacked the pavement, "not today" she thought, "not now!" Her hearts beating faster, so fast that they could actually- literally rip out of her chest. She was sucking in oxygen her lungs pulled for more, she heard voices, familiar voices "come along pond, just come back inside the TARDIS" the doctors voiced cried.
Rose turned around the corner of a old rotting building only to come face to face with the situation.
River was standing a bit behind the doctor who was practically on his knees begging Amy to back away, Amy was staring at a stone statue of an angle- a weeping angle and Rory-Rory was gone.
Rose had seen the stone creature before, in her first week of training at torchwood, she had to practice staring at it and techniques to get away or around it.
It had been terrifying.
Rose could see that Amy was going to turn around and that's not what she wanted-not right now. She didn't know what she was thinking but instead of making a choice her feet carried her off in the trio's direction, "stop!" She screamed, panting as he came to a halt beside Amy. "S-stop" she breathed staring at the statue. "-don't look at me" she quickly told Amy. "Rose-" Amy's voice quivered "I have too..."she continued, "Rory-Rory, he means everything, and he can't -he can't go without me... I can't go without him" she choked out, "I know" Rose said softly, the doctor spoke "no-no pond-please-please come back inside the TARDIS."
"I can't get him back, because you're stupid TARDIS can't go through the fixed point, I'm going with him, I love him." Amy argued, Rivers presence was next to Rose, "Melody-you, you be good, I love you" Amy sniffed. River kissed her palm and backed away, "raggedy man, bad wolf" she spoke, the doctor pulled himself up and placed himself next to Rose "goodbye" Amy looked at them as she turned around her eyes watery and red.
That was the last time Rose Tyler or the doctor would see them.
"Nooo!" The doctors voice broke the silence as he feel to his knees again, his sobs becoming louder and more distorted.
Rose looked to River, River nodded to the doctor, mouthing the words "go, help him."
Rose leaned down, she looked a bit different but was still wearing the outfit she left in, she brushed a finger over his ear, "hey" she whispered.
The doctor made whimpering sounds, covering his face with his hands.
She sat down on the dirt ground next him and looked him over, he was shaking.
She didn't know how long the ponds had been with him, but it was his eleventh regeneration so she assumed awhile.
She looked at him and then leaned down wrapping her arm around his back and stomach, she pressed her lips to back of his head and whispered "she loved him, she left for him and she came back to him..Doctor, I'm here."
The doctor's movement became less and he sat up on his knees staring at the gravestone, then he looked to the blonde, to Rose, not his Rose though. His cheeks stained with tears and his eyes red and watery, "Rose" he spoke, "why...why are you here?" He questioned her.
Rose was a bit taken back but still replied "I was with the Master, I was going to die for him, and then -then I remembered, doctor, how much I need you, how much I-I love you" she played with her fingers well looking down at them, waiting for an answer or statement.
"Rose can I speak to him alone for a second?" River interrupted, Rose nodded her head as she watched River and the doctor speak.
She backed away to stand next to a tree.
She was never supposed to come back, but how could she do that?
She didn't know if she should tell him about the duplicate or what had happened in the parallel world, maybe he had already seen enough-maybe too much.
River went inside the TARDIS and the doctor shuffled over to Rose.
"I thought you were gone, for good" the doctor grinned a little, "me too" Rose replied.
"Are you going to leave again?" The doctors smiled turned into a frown.
Rose paused, was she? She didn't know, but for now, all she could think about was being next to him in the TARDIS. "No" she half lied, she didn't know of course she couldn't truly answer, but at the time she would have fought to stay by his side and that's what she planned on doing. The doctor smiled a bit again and reached for her hand childishly, playing with her fingers as they walked back to the TARDIS.
Authors note; okay! So this could be the last chapter, but I need to know if you guys want more? And what happens next with Rose and the doctor, and this probably won't be the last because there are some things still left un-explained. Anyways PLEASE review and follow. (I apologize for spelling mistakes/errors) and I own none of the characters or the show, if I had...Rose would have come back or stayed by now XD
