This is Tom x Martha. As I said in the Introduction: he's the guy who helped Martha in the season 3 finale and she was engaged to in The Sontaran Stratagem, who disappeared off the face of the earth when we saw Martha married to Mickey in The End Of Time. Seriously, what happened to that guy? So this one shot kinda explain what might've happened. The video above is by RosetylerProductions. Enjoy!!

Tears mixed with the pounding rain, making muddy tracks down the side of Martha's face. She sobbed into her hands

She wished that the world would disappear and the pain would end. That everything would be over in that moment, and she would never have to feel again.

But the world is cruel and so she was still there, kneeling by the side of the man she loved. His body was coated in mud and blood and his breathing came harshly.

"Martha-" he broke off, coughing. "Martha, I love you."

"I love you too." She choked out, voice hardly more than a whisper.

Why had he done it? Her life had never been worth more than his. But he had thought so. He had jumped in front of that bullet after all, taking the fate that was meant for her. And so now the body of the attacker lay a few feet away, shot by Martha's gun, being quickly covered by the mud. And Tom also lay, dying, despite her frantic attempts to heal him. The bullet had penetrated too deep.

He threaded his fingers through hers, desperately gripping them. Slowly, his life bled from him. He let out a shaky breath.

"You're safe now." He whispered, eyes fluttering closed for the last time.

Martha touched her fingers to his neck. No pulse. She lay her head on his chest and sobbed, letting the rain beat down on her body. Trying to forget the word.
