Please Just See Me

Clara's POV

I raised my eyebrow in confusion at Missy and Jack as the nural block disintegrated.

"H-how did you get here?" I asked.

"Don't worry about that!" Missy exclaimed. I then focused my eyes back on the Doctor, I smiled at him. He didn't return the smile. Suddenly, his hand gripped onto the console.

"Doctor?" I asked with concern.

"Huh... l-looks like it worked..." He said in a sad tone as he lowered himself onto the floor onto his back,

"N-no! What do you mean it worked?" I questioned as I knelt down by him, "Y-you activated it..."

"Idiot..." I heard Missy say with some sort of sad tone which was unusual.

"Looks like you won't have to forget about me or our adventures, Clara..." He whispered, "Run like hell, because you always need to. Laugh at everything, because it's always funny."

"No. Stop it. You're saying goodbye." Tears flowed my eyes, "Don't say goodbye!"

"Clara..."

"Stop it, Doctor..." I whispered. The Doctor took my hand in his, "I didn't mean for this to happen. I'm sorry. I-I don't want you to forget me, Doctor!"

"It's okay. This is right. I accept it." He exclaimed as he placed his free hand on my stomach.

"No... we could've just ran away together. Explored the universe, this didn't have to happen. There has to be something I can do." I said .

His eyes started to flutter, "Smile for me. Go on. Clara Oswald... one last time."

I shook my head, "How could I smile?"

He sighed, "It's okay. Don't you worry. I'll remember it." He put his hand on the back of my neck and pulled me down towards him. I rested my head on his chest. Soon, the Doctor's grip on the back of my neck loosened.

The Doctor's POV

"Sir? Are you all right?" a man's voice caused my eyes to flutter open. I sat up slightly,

"Where am I? How did I get here?" I asked.

"Clara asked me to look after you. She said you might be a bit... upset." He replied. Upset?

"Clara?"

"Yeah. She was just here. I don't know where she went."

"Clara?" I paused, "Clara who?"

IN THE DINER

"Are you looking for her?" The waitress asked.

"I'm trying." I replied, adjusting the guitar strap around myself.

"She could be anyone, right? You don't know who you're looking for. I mean, she could be me, for all you know." She said.

Clara's POV

"There's one thing I know about her... Just one thing. If I met her again, I would absolutely know." The Doctor said. That broke my heart... even though I didn't have a pulse. A lump started to form in my throat. He stood up from his stool and said, "I think that we were here, you know?" He walked towards one of the tables, I turned around as a tear rolled down my face, "I think that we were here together once... I'm sure I'll remember." He explained, "Stupid Doctor... Amy and Rory! I was here with Amy and Rory!" He exclaimed which caused me to turn back around and face him.

"What about your Tardis, hey? Have you found that yet?" Another tear threatening to fall out of my eye.

"No. Somebody's moved it from London, still looking. But this diner... it wasn't always here, was it?" He started, "It used to be on the other side of the hill..." He walked back over towards me and placed his hands on the surface,
