The Slow Path - (#1 TenRose Fanfiction)

Alone

~Chapter 2

Rose's POV

I don't need to ask the Doctor when we've landed, the TARDIS is always loud enough to know when the destinations been reached. I grab my bag, and march through the console room, and notice the Doctor is nowhere in sight, but his coat has been abandoned and hangs lifeless over one of the railings. I sigh and storm out, not caring about the cold icy air in the night.
Mum greets me with a warm hug as I arrive back at the flat, and she immediately senses something's up. I tell her everything, and she listens is compassion as I tell her my story, and eventually, along the way, my secret slips out too.

The Doctors POV

I don't understand. How could she think that of me? How could she think I could be so selfish to leave her and go off with Reinette? I've always loved Rose, and she never seems to believe me when I say I'd never kiss Reinette. In fact, she kissed me. I'll talk to her In the morning, I'll walk to her flat, and talk to her then, properly. And I'll tell her everything. Including the fact I love her. She needs to know that. I couldn't bring myself to face her as she left. One, because I wasn't planning on saying goodbye, because I know that wasn't goodbye, and two, because I didn't want her to see me cry. I'm sure she'll be fine by morning...maybe. I'll just have to wait and see.

When I wake the next morning, it's completely silent on board the TARDIS, no noise from Rose. I quickly get out of bed, get dressed, and leave my hair, I've never really bothered much with it. I wander off into the kitchen, and I automatically lay two mugs on the counter. And then I stop and realise. Swallowing, I put Rose's pink mug back in the cupboard, mine left standing alone on the counter. That mug basically described the way I feel right now, empty, and alone. And then I'm back in the rhythm again, making cornflakes and trying to stay upbeat. I know il get her back, it just might take a little time. I know she'll forgive me. Eventually.

Hey shipmates!
So I really hope your enjoying this so far. I'm sorry this chapter was really short, the next one will be longer I promise. And just some important info, this story is going to be about the same length as "Nowhere Without You", so expect around 20 chapters. Also, this story is going to jump from Rose and the Doctors point of view, just to change it up a bit. Please don't forget to comment and vote because that will always make my day! :D
