"Airlock Decompression completed. Jettisoning pod" I looked at Martha and out of the small window. I saw my Dad, as he finally arrived just a little too late. I knelt forward to the window properly.
"Dad!" I tapped the window Martha looked through as well.
"I'll Save you" he mimed well was probably shouting but I understood. Dad always kept his promises, even if I didn't like them he always did. He would keep this one right. He had to.
"Katelyn, Martha. It's too late" I tapped the window more hope slowly leaving me. I kept my eyes on him and clearly he kept on shouting that he would save us. I stopped and felt a tear run down. We drifted away slowly the station still in sight.
"The wonderful world of space travel. The prettier it looks the more likely it is to kill you."
"He''l come for us." I replied in reassurance more to myself rather than them. "He has to, he promised. He promised that he would always protected me.:
"No it's too late. Our heat shields will pack in any minute and then we'll go into free fall. We'll fall into the sun way before he has a chance to do anything." Riley denied ruining my resolve.
"You don't know the Doctor. We believe in him" Martha told him.
"Well you're lucky. I've never found anyone worth believing in." Martha sat back as was still watching outside of the window and the ship drifting further away from us.
"No, girlfriend? Boyfriend?" Martha wondered.
"This job doesn't lend itself to stable relationships." Riley answered
"Family then?" I asked leaning my head against the window.
"Dad's dead. Haven't seen my Mum in six years, she didn't want me to sign up for cargo tours. Things were said and since then, all silent She wanted to hold onto me. I know that. God, she was so stubborn. My 5x Great grandmother is something sepcial, though since she lost her husband she throws herself into traveling.I rarely see her." He looked at me with sad eyes.
"5x?"
"It's a long story." He shook his head, not saying anything more. It was like he wanted to but like he also couldn't. The moment of noticing went as rubbed my face.
"Well that's families." Martha replied
"What about you?"
"Mum, Dad, Dad's girlfriend, brother sister. There's no silence there." I pulled out my phone and looked at my wallpaper. It was of me Clyde and Mum. "So much noise. God they'll never know. I'll just have disappeared and they'll always be waiting."
"Martha" She looked at me as i held my phone to my ear.
"Call them" Riley read my mind as i was ready on the phone.
-----
"Hello" I tried to keep my sobs in as Clyde answered his phone. Hearing his voice made it really hard not to start sobbing and let him know something was wrong.
"Clyde" I breathed
"Katie, you okay?" I took a deep breath and put on a fake smile even though he couldn't see it.
"Yeah, just miss you that's all, what are you doing?" I looked out of the window .
"Me and Luke just came home from the park. We're playing video games. You're on speaker." he told me, and I took a deep breath.
"Hey Luke." I cleared my throat.
"Caitlin, is something wrong?" Luke questioned.
"Everything's fine, promise. I ugh just watched this film with Dad. Of course i ended up crying. Um, you know I love you both right." There was a little laugh, most likely Clyde.
