Real Never Waits - Tenth Doctor [2]

Chapter 2

We suddenly stopped and The Doctor rushed to the door to open it. "Here we are then, London. Earth. The Solar System. We did it. Pete. Jackie. Rose. Mickey. Blimey!" He said as he stepped outside, "No, no, no, no, hold on. Wait there. I've got something to say. There was something I had to tell you, something important. What was it? No, hold on, hold on. Hold on, shush, shush, shush, shush. Oh, I know! Merry Christmas!"

I rushed outside to see The Doctor passing out and my best friend and family kneeling around him. "What happened?" I asked as I kneeled beside him. "I don't know, he just passed out," Rose said.

"Who is he?" Uncle Pete asked. "Where's The Doctor?" Mickey asked. "That's him, right in front of you. That's The Doctor," I replied. "What do you mean, that's the Doctor? Doctor who?" Aunt Jackie asked.

We got The Doctor into our house and I sat on Uncle and Aunt's bed that he was laying on. I stared at him until Aunt Jackie come in with a stethoscope. "Here we go. Tina the cleaner's got this lodger, a medical student, and she was fast asleep, so I just took it. Though I still say we should take him to hospital," She said as she handed the stethoscope to me.

"No, we can't. They'd lock him up. They'd dissect him. One bottle of his blood could change the future of the human race," I explained. She sighed before leaving the room.

I put on the stethoscope and listened to both sides of The Doctor's chest. I smiled a little as both of his hearts were working. I took off the stethoscope and stood up to leave the room.

I went into the kitchen and looked through the fridge. "How can he go changing his face? Is that a different face or is he a different person?" Aunt Jackie asked. "I wouldn't know," I said sadly.

"Mum, we should give her some space," Rose spoke and wrapped her arm around my shoulder, "She's probably heartbroken right now."

"It's not that I'm heartbroken. I just . . ." I trailed off and closed the fridge before turning to her and Aunt Jackie, "The thing is I thought I knew him. I really did. And then he goes and does this. I keep forgetting he's not human." I looked out to the living room to see the TV was on and I frowned, "Is that Harriet Jones?" The three of us walked into the living room, "Why's she on the TV?"

"Uh, she's Prime Minister now," Uncle Pete replied. "They're calling it Britain's Golden Age. I keep on saying my Sam has met her," Aunt Jackie said. "Actually stopped World War Three with her," I corrected, scoffing.

Mickey walked in and sighed, "Rose, we heading off?" He asked. "Yeah," Rose said before turning to me, "We going for shopping, how about you'll come with us?"

I shook my head and gave them a small smile, "No, thanks. You two should go, have fun," I said. "Come on, Sammy," Mickey said, wrapping an arm around my shoulder, "He'll be fine. Pete and Jackie are here. You need some time off."

"He's right," Uncle Pete spoke and gave me a smile, "You three go on, we're going to stay here. Don't worry, just have fun." I sighed after a moment before nodding slightly, "Okay."

Rose grinned and linked her arm with mine before following me with her and Mickey out, "See you later!"

"Bye," Aunt Jackie called before we closed the door and headed out. We walked in the streets as it got dark, "So what do you need? Twenty quid?" Mickey asked me. "Now, now, Mickey," Rose said, "She's my cousin, I'll give her the money."
