Another day in the blue box that I called home. It was beautiful, this life. The past four years had taught me so much about how big this universe was, there was so much that I'd seen and still so much more. And then, I fell in love with the Doctor. It happened so fast, the running, the adventure. It was everything I'd ever wanted. I was happy, all until Rose came back and joined us in the TARDIS. Don't get me wrong, I liked her, but she was clearly in love with him and it hurt to see someone else be close to him, I loved him first, she left when things got too tough and I never left his side. It wasn't fair. I sat on the steps, as they both laughed at some inside joke at the console. "Doctor, it was amazing. You should of seen Mum's face." She giggled, as he smiled at her. It broke my heart, he never looked at me that way. I play with my hands, as I looked down, I didn't want to cry, I couldn't let him see me like that, even if it was the worst pain. "Y/n? You okay?" The Doctor looked at me, he frowned. I smiled a little, "Of course." Rose looked at me too, concern in her face. "I think I'm going to head up to bed." I stand up, as I walk upstairs, as the tears finally came out. I walk into my bedroom and I shut the door, as I take a breath, "Shit." I sit on the bed as the lump in my throat came, I felt like I couldn't even breathe. "Hey, y/n. Can I come in?" Rose's voice was so soft, it was pretty. "Uh, maybe later Rose."

"Come on. Talk to me." I frowned, as I wiped my eyes gently, before I go and answer the door. "Are you- god, why are you crying? What happened?" I shake my head, "No, I'm fine. It's nothing." She sat down on the bed, as she watched me. "Wait. Oh my god, you love him don't you?" I was a little stunned at her words. "No! No, of course not." She gave me this look, "Yes, you do. Look at your face. I can tell." I sit down beside her, "Is it that obvious?" She smiled. "Yeah, it kind of is. And anyway, you know.. I've got some big news." I look at her, "What is it?" She showed me her hand. "Mickey proposed." I didn't know what to say, I was shocked. "You're getting married?" She nodded, "Yes. I love Mickey, there's nothing between me and the Doctor. We are friends, that's it." I was slightly relieved, but also happy for her news. "That's amazing news. Congratulations." She nudged my shoulder. "So, now you need to go and tell him that you love him." I lean against the pillow. "I can't, Rose. I can't tell him because- what if he just rejects me? He's a Timelord. And he- what if he doesn't want me?" She watched me. "You don't know that until you tell him. He deserves to know how you feel." I nodded, "Okay, I'll tell him. I'll do it." She stood up, "Listen, I'm going over to Mickey's tonight.. you tell him when you're both alone. Promise me." I smile a bit, "Promise." She hugged me, as I lean against her shoulder. "Thanks, Rose." She lets me go, as we both went back down together. "Everything okay?" He asked. "More than okay. Right, y/n?" I smiled.

"Yeah, I'm good." He watched us both, as he turned back toward the console. She gave me a look, before I watch him closely, I bite my lip softly. Later that evening, Rose left us alone and we both sat on the stairs together. "Are you sure you're okay?" He asked, "Yeah. Promise." He wrapped his arm around my back, "You'd tell me, wouldn't you?" I lean into his shoulder. "Yeah, course I would." He gently kissed my temple, as I smiled a little. "I thought Rose loved you, that's why I got jealous." He frowned, "Did she tell you about Mickey?" I nodded, "Yes, she did. And I told her that I loved you." He seemed a bit surprised. "You love me?" I look down, as I go silent. "Y/n. Do you love me?" I sighed gently, "Yes, I do." He stood up, as he looked at me again. "How long?" I look up, "I don't know. Maybe a year." He turned away from me, "Why are you telling me this now? Y/n, I adore you. I've never fell in love with a human, not the way that I fell for you. And god, I was terrified you were going to leave me." I wasn't sure what to say. "Doctor, I'm sorry. I didn't know." He looked back at the console. "I just need to be alone for a while. Please." I nodded, before I went up the stairs to go on a walk around the TARDIS. I come across the library, sitting on the couch as I sobbed, holding onto the blanket that I found there. I curl up, as I try and control my crying, but it hurt even more. Later, as I began to fall asleep, I heard footsteps coming toward me, I froze.

"Y/n.. have you been crying?" I shake my head, as I turn away from his gaze. "I'm so sorry, I didn't want to make you cry. Come here." I wipe my tears as he pulled me into his arms. "I do love you. I do, you know I do." He whispered, as I held him tightly. "I love you, Doctor."

"It's going to all be okay, I promise."
