Now I know why my Dad is the bravest man I know. He sent me here, knowing that I would end up in hell. He knew it right from the beginning because it was his past and he still let me do this. Because otherwise my name would forever be erased from the surface of the universe. It had to be done. And he did it. Now I know why he cried when I met his future self. Because going through all this pain of loss would still be better than never having known me at all. I wish things worked out different but now I am stuck in here forever. I wish I didn't cause Mom and Dad so much pain. I wish this one time I didn't screw things up. I wish I wasn't stuck in the literal nothing.
Let me tell you what exactly happened.

After opening the Void Mom and Dad desperately tried not to get sucked in. I was standing there, watching out for Mom because nothing bad could happen to her. Daleks and Cybermen were getting sucked in. Everything worked out perfectly until this stupid void machine decided to go offline. Mom already wanted to let go and try to get the lever back to the online position but I stopped her.
"This is too dangerous for you!" I screamed as loud as possible."I'm doing this! Whatever happens, do not let go! We don't want you to get stuck in the void!"
In her eyes I could see something. She was sad. She already had a feeling something bad would happen. And she wanted to say something.
"No! This is why I am here. To save you!" I said before she could do anything.
Mom wanted to know more.
"Why? Why me? I am no one!"
I walked over to the lever. "Because you are his world!"
It was hard to pull the lever down again but I did it somehow. Daleks were flying above my head, screaming like babies.
We won. For a second I thought everything worked out fine.
But then I saw Mom falling. Dad screamed her name.
"Okay. I can do this!" I prepared to catch her.
Mom screamed in panic. Me, too. At first it felt like falling into the void with Mom but then I realized there was still a ground under my feet. I had already lost Gunther so I would do anything to save Mom.
She was lying in my arms, feeling extremely heavy because of the pressure. I decided to bring her to Dad. She was definitely save on his side. Dad still had the shock on his face when he grabbed Mom's arm and helped her to get into a save position again.
"One thing, Doctor."
He looked at me.
"For god's sake, kiss the girl!"
He smiled and couldn't even put into words how happy he was that I saved Mom. For a few minutes everything was fine again. Mom was in Dad's arms while they both held each other as tight as they could, not letting the other go, ever. The way they looked at each other was like a silent vow. They would never leave each other, no matter if there was a Dalek between them or a whole parallel universe. It looked so peaceful that I completely forgot the danger around me. I will regret this lack of attention for an infinite time in the biggest nowhere possible.
Because everything was fine, until that flying Cyberman hit me. I tried to get back to the ground but it was all too late. I was already in the void. And there was no possible way out. I'm sorry.
