Savannah Tyler

Rose and Savannah: Chapter 4

Rose's POV

I woke up to the sound of my alarm going off, which I turned off and sat up, my hair hanging messily on my face.

Mum must of heard the alarm going off because she yelled out, "There's no point in getting up, sweetheart. You've got no job to go to."

Mum had made a good point, so I lay back down for a few minutes and let my mind wonder.

As promised, I had called Savannah last night and talked to her for a few hours. As I knew she would, she still had a go at me for not contacting her straight away, but she wasn't too hard on me, as she said she understood why I didn't contact her straight away. She was coming back home sometime today and I was going to tell her what had happened at the shop.

I had had enough of staying in bed, so I decided to get up and dressed. When I was ready, I walked out of my room and sat at the table in the kitchen, where my mum was making breakfast. That is until she decided to sit next to me at the table and talk to me about getting another job.

"There's Finch's. You could try them. They've always got jobs going," Jackie suggested.

I stared at her and said, sarcastically, "Oh great! The butchers!"

Mum just rolled her eyes and replied with, "Well, it might do you some good. That shop was giving you airs and graces! And I'm not joking about compensation. You've had a genuine shock and trauma. Arianna got two thousand quid of the council just because the old man behind the desk said she looked Greek." She stood up and started to walk out of the kitchen.

I looked at her weirdly and said, "But she is Greek!"

Mum just replied back with, "I know she is, but that's not the point. It was a valid claim."

I was about to say something else to her, but there was a sound coming from the front door.

I stood up from my chair. "Mum, I told you to nail that cat flap down. We're gonna get strays!", I told her while I was walking to check it out.

"I did it weeks back!", she called from her room.

"Nah, you thought about it!", I called back.

However, lying on the floor were some nails which had come off the cat flap. This meant that mum had nailed it down. I knelt down and picked one up.

'How did they come off then?', I wondered.

All of a sudden, the cat flap sprung forward a bit, making me jump. I leaned down further towards it and hesitantly pushed it until it was fully open.

And there, on the other side of the door, in the same position I was in on the floor, was the strange man who blew up my job!

'This time I'm gonna get some proper answers from him!', I thought, whilst I shoved him into the flat.

Savannah's POV

I was just coming home from staying the night at River's and wasn't far from the building.

I hadn't had a good night last night after I found out about Rose's job blowing up. I couldn't get in contact with her or mum at all, so I had asked Mickey to check if she was okay and to message me as soon as he found out what was going on. I finally relaxed a bit when I received a text, and later on a phone call from Rose to say she was safe and not hurt. Really, I should of guessed that I wouldn't get an answer on the house phone, what with it normally be glued to mums ear.

River was one of my best friends and my honorary older sister. She was was one of the bravest, yet weirdest people I knew. If anyone else had heard her talk about the things she says, they would probably think she was crazy.

I had known her since I was 7, when she saved me from almost getting run over by a car. Since then, we stuck together and I found out that she was a bit of a badass.

She taught me how to fight, in case myself or others are in any trouble, including how to use a gun if necessary and how to use every day objects as weapons. Due to us hanging out so much, our personalities are very much alike. The minute she she saved me that day, she not only became my honorary sister, she also became my role model.

Just like me and Rose (although technically, I tell Rose nearly everything) we told each other everything and eventually, not long after I first met her, she told me her most important secret. She was a Time Lord! She had told me what that was, where and what she had gone and done. She had told me about her amazing parents and about the brilliant, mad man called 'the Doctor', who they traveled with in his big blue police box that was somehow bigger on the inside, which he called the 'TARDIS' and they traveled through time and space. She had told me every single detail. She also told me that she never meets him in the right order, so he told her to write all their encounters together in a book.

I also found out that even though we talk every day, I never see her in the right order either. Which is why I too, write everything down, concerning her, in a book and we are to never let anyone read them - especially each other. I could tell Rose some things, but when the time was right. It meant there was something to look forward to. River had also told me that I would eventually meet the Doctor and become   very important to him, but she didn't tell me when. She had also told me that I had to write down every encounter I had with him as well, as they, too, wouldn't be in the right order, as I would have keep leave him to go have adventures with his future self. When I do meet him, she would also give me a copy of his many pictures of his pasts and future selves.

I finally reached the door my building, opened it and ran up the stairs to the flat.

When I finally reached the front door to the flat, I opened it quietly and snuck in, so that mum didn't hear me, as I wasn't in the mood because I had a headache, due to not sleeping so good last night.

After I walked quietly past mums room, where she was most likely getting ready for the day, I decided to make a cup of tea.

I was just about to step into the living room when out of the corner of my eye, I saw a quite handsome, tall man wearing a leather jacket. He also had quite big ears and nose to match. He looked to be in his 40's. Whilst he was observing what was in the room, I quietly leaned against the wall with my arms crossed over my chest and observed him.

'Don't I know him from somewhere?.... I swear he looks familiar', I thought.

I could faintly hear Rose in the kitchen badgering on about something to do with the police.

'Must be about last night', I realised.

Like a light switch turning on, I suddenly realised where I know the man. I hadn't actually met the man myself, but I knew someone who had, as they had shown me all of the pictures they had of him.

'It's the Doctor!'
