Doctor's Point of View

It's been a week. A long, lonely and depressing week since Rose Tyler was trapped in a parallel universe.
I've been to her room.
In fact,  I've spent days on end in Rose's room... I can still smell her perfume in the air.
I can still hear her laugh echoing through my head.
I dream of her smile, the one where she pokes her tongue through her teeth... Oh, that smile!
Her bed is still unmade, the way she left it that morning, the morning where my world fell apart for the second time in my life...

The TARDIS has been comforting me though, she's the one that never leaves me, always constant... She makes me breakfast and dinner everyday but I'm not hungry, there's only one thing in the entire universe that can fulfill the bottomless hole in the pit of my stomach... Rose.

*Later that Day*
I took her pillow back to my room, just so I could feel comfortable if I decided to sleep. Her pillow still had her scent on it but now, it was often drenched with my tears. Time kept dragging on and on. It was passing slower than all my 900 years.

What's that old human saying? Ah, yes, thats right.
"Time goes quickly when you're having fun".
"Rose could make anything fun..." I thought to myself.
The past 6 hours felt like an eternity... And eternity without my Rose.
Fancy that!- A Timelord, in a time travelling machine, complaining about how time was passing, how rich!

*****
As I lay on my bed, unaware of the time, unaware of where I am in the whole of time and space, just focusing on my pink and yellow human, Rose Tyler and what I didn't get to say to her... What I will never get to say to her.
I scream into my pillow.
"Why couldn't I tell her before?!? She meant everything to me and I didn't have the guts to tell her I loved her!!". 
I feel foolish and absolutely, inexplicably distraught.

****
After crying and laying there for sometime I begin to feel numb, the pain is still there but it is numbing me... I drift off to a disturbed sleep where Rose graces my dreams. Maybe, I'll get to see her one last time.

The Doctor's Dream
I'm standing in the control room flicking some switches and turning some dials, preparing the TARDIS for wherever I'm going next. I turn as a blonde girl with a brilliant smile and beautiful brown eyes walks in... Rose... I run over to her and hold her so close. I bury my face in her hair and breathe in, taking in everything about her. I feel my hearts beating strongly... Almost too strongly... I stand back, still holding onto her shoulders and look into stunning her eyes, but wait, what's that? I see a flicker of something hidden in her eyes. What is it?
I can feel my dream fading. I crush Rose against me one last time, feeling her body against mine and breath on my ear. I whisper to her...
"Rose Tyler, I...".
Buts it's gone, she's gone.
She's escaped me again... I am so hopeless! I can't even tell the woman I love that I love her!
The dream fades away and I wake up and realise I was crying in the dream too.
I look up at the ceiling.
"Oh Rose... I miss you and it's only been a week, how am I going to spend the rest of my life without you?"
The TARDIS groans and telepathically whispers to me, "you have me and I'll help you through this".
"Thank you, old girl", I manage to smile and mentally hug the TARDIS.

****
I decide to crawl out of bed and creep off to the library, one of Rose's favourite places in the TARDIS.
As I walk over to the huge, comfy armchair, I see a piece of paper and a pen. On it is written a letter, in Rose's perfect handwriting. It reads:
"Dear Doctor,
Do you remember the time I absorbed the time vortex? Well, over the last couple of days, my memory from that day has been coming back... I remember some of time and space, I see our timeline and, Doctor, I know what happens to me today. I get trapped in a parallel universe. I need you to know that none of this is your fault, okay? None. This can't be helped, it needs to happen in order to save the universe.
I see that you are quite sad once I'm gone but please, please don't be. I had the most spectacular adventures with you, Doctor, and no one can take that away from us.
Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened.
I will always love you, Doctor. There is a special place in my heart just for you.
Don't forget me.
All the love in the universe,
Your Rose."
The paper was drenched with tears by the time I finished reading it. I cry out for Rose.
"I-I love you too", I whispered to the paper, knowing all too well that I wouldn't get a reply, a hug, a smile or even her cute little giggle.
I need her back. I will find a way. She's so special- She can absorb the time vortex and its all coming back to her!- No ordinary human could ever do that...
Oh, my amazing, extraordinary, Rose Tyler.
I'm coming to get you.

So what did you guys think? Is the story line moving too fast?
Anyway, I have a lot planned and I really hope you guys are enjoying this as much as I am writing it!
I watched Doomsday again and cried profusely, what's new?

Thank you so much if you are reading this! I appreciate it so much, you have no idea!
