~Chapter 1
-Rose's POV

As soon as we arrive back in the TARDIS, I storm off into my room. That's the only place I want to be right now. And I want to be alone. I can't quite believe what happened today, I cant quite make sense of what just happened, but I can make sense of it enough to say I'm leaving. And possibly for good. I was going to tell the Doctor my secret tonight, the one I've been keeping from him for about 3 weeks, but not anymore. Not after what he's done. Suddenly someone starts knocking on my door. And I know straight away that that someone is the Doctor.
"Rose?" He asks through the door. I immediately get up and pull my travel bag down from on top of my wardrobe and throw it onto my bed. "Rose, it's the Doctor. Please let me in."
"Yeah, like that's gonna happen." I scoff. Suddenly in a rush, I begin shoving every one of my belongings into my case.
"Look, I know you're angry, but please, if you just let me explain-"
"Oh you've done quite enough of that already!" I shout, my bottled up anger exploding out.
"Rose! Please, let me in." He pleads through the door. I sigh and storm over, opening the door but blocking his entrance to my room. I shoot him death glares.
"Look, I don't know what to do. I thought..Well I thought we were...look, it doesn't matter, the only thing that matters is I'm leaving." I turn back around and apply my concentration back to my case, trying to ignore the constant flow of images of the Doctor and Reinette.
"Rose! You can't leave!" The Doctor suddenly sounds worried, and he walks over to me, swivelling me round, his hands taking custody of my arms.
"I know you have every right to be angry, I get that, but if was only 5 hours! You can't leave because of 5 hours!" Desperation is clear in his voice.
"What?!" I ask, the anger rising in me "You think that's why I'm mad? You think that's why I want to leave?" Tears start welling up in my eyes.
"Well what is it then?!" He asks, his face a matter of worry and utter confusion.
"Look, you obviously don't need me anymore, I understand now. That's it, whatever we had between us...if there even was anything between us, it's over! I'm leaving."
"No your not. You can't leave."
"Oh, just watch me!" I storm, shaking out of his vice-like grip and returning to my case.
"Rose!" The Doctors on the edge now, about to break. "You still haven't explained!" He shouts. I swivel around then, anger spilling off me in waves.
"Look! I thought you would've understood right now! I can't deal with the fact that you left me for 5 hours, just to hook up with another woman!"
"It wasn't like that! I promise it was just-"
"Just what, Doctor?! Just what?! Just having a bit of fun sticking your tongue down Reinette's throat?!"
"No! Rose I never even-"
"Look, I seen enough. And enough to know that I'm leaving right now!"
"Well I won't let you!"
"I swear to God Doctor, if you don't take me home right now I'll slap you so hard you'll regenerate!" I shout, tears streaming down my face. Stunned to silence, the Doctor turns around and slams the door behind him as he leaves the room.
