Thick As Thieves - Doctor Who Fanfiction

Chapter Twenty-Three - A Long, Hard Year

One Year Later

A year had passed and it was quite alright. I had new friends, a job, I was invited to great events with Mackenzie. All was fine. Except for these weird box things showing up everywhere for the whole year but all was okay. They all cleared up and I had a feeling that it was the Doctor that got rid of them. He also seemed to be doing fine.

I had the whole day off one day and I decided to go down to my old town and sit in the park for a while. I liked going down there sometimes because it was nice and I wanted to look out for the Doctor but the more I went the more I lost hope. I did give up in that year but I went anyway because it was nice there. I got there and it started raining slightly but I didn't care. It just meant that I had the whole park to myself. I sat on a bench under some trees and relaxed for a bit. I put my hood up on my jacket so my hair wouldn't get wet. I didn't care about the rest of me. 

My imagination was running wild. I heard the TARDIS in my mind and it had landed in the park but there was never really anything there. I turned to clarify it and there was nothing. Wait. Yes there was. The TARDIS was there. It was actually there. I stood up and ran to the TARDIS. I got there, opened the doors and smiled. Oh I had missed the bigger on the inside box. "Doctor." I said. He was standing facing the screen with his back to me then he turned and even though I looked different he seemed to know me and a big smile was planted on his face. I went to hug him and he held me too tight so I pulled away. "I waited a whole year."

"I know." The Doctor said, his smile faded.

"Why was it that long? Why didn't you come looking for me?"

"I have. I came to this park and your apartment each day but then didn't after you never turned up."

"So? Couldn't you track me or anything?"

"No. I couldn't."

"Why?"

"I don't know!" The Doctor shouted this and it made me frightened a bit. He had never shouted at me like that for nothing. "I gave up on you then found you Doctor! Now we've found each other you shout in my face. Why this?" I shouted back.

"Amy and Rory have died!" The Doctor looked like he could have cried on the spot.

"W-what?"

"Yeah. They died at the hands of the Weeping Angels. Did you think for a second that something was wrong right now? You waltz in here demanding answers and I have been too busy saving every stinking planet and I want to be alone. Just get out!" He pointed to the door instructing me to walk out. "I'm sorry." I said quietly.

"I said get out!" 

"If you're going to be like that." I walked up to my old room and grabbed all of my stuff in my backpack and walked back into the console room. "So this is it. You chuck me out after a long year of waiting for you and I try apologizing for upsetting you and it's all my fault isn't it. Thanks for nothing Time Lord." I stormed to the door then looked back at the Doctor. "Wait." He mumbled. I walked out anyway slamming the TARDIS door behind me. I walked away from the box crying but I didn't turn back. He didn't want me there so I didn't want him with me. But I did though. I wanted to travel in that box with him forever but now it was too late. I sat back on my bench and cried. The Doctor did look out once and wanted to walk to me but went back in again before the box left. It was all my fault again. I did everything wrong. My luck could not get any worse.
