The girl who never believed (Doctor who fanfic)

Chapter six- Adulthood.

It's my birthday, finally a adult, Mum and Dad even got me a car, a new car! I had lessons last year, a month after my 17th birthday, and i'm planning to do the test next month. They also got me a new dressing table, to match my wardrobe; what they got me when I first moved into my house, as well as £50. Don't I get spoiled? There is loads of cards on the side too. I picked up the weird looking one, and opened it, to find a letter, written in fancy writing that I had to read by squinting my eyes. 

Dear Harriet,

                      I know this might come as a surprise to you sweetie, but I am your big sister, River Song (Melody Pond). I know you have turned eighteen today, and so I thought you were old enough to finally come into contact with me, so please meet me tomorrow at Leadworth's Library at 12:45. I am excited to finally meet you. Have a good birthday, and tell Mum and Dad that I said hello. 

Love River.

Oh my god, the sister that I have never ever met in my whole entire life, this is so weird.

''Mum! MUM! Look,'' I said, showing her the card ''It's a letter from River, she wants to meet me tomorrow,'' 

The look on there faces, proved that they were as shocked as me. Why would she want to get in touch with me? After years of knowing I was alive? All those years, she knew what date was my birthday, and she never even send me a card? I am not in the mood for presents now. I know most of you would be all happy and stuff that you got a card from the sister you never met. 

I on the other hand is not! If she knew I exist, why didn't she ever visit me, or contact me? Its been 18 years! I'm not sure if I even want to meet her now.

I grabbed the other cards, said good bye to Mum and Dad and went back round to my house, shoving the letter in a draw and  opening all the other cards. I now have £140, what I'm just going to shove in my purse, and save for a rainy day, I hardly ever take money out.

I wonder if the letter from River was the thing I thought that was going to be weird about today? I don't know, I really don't. I just don't know how she will look, or act, and the way she called me ''sweetie, when she has never even met me in my life. Its just so much to take in. I am so shocked.

I sat down on the sofa and turned the television on when the doorbell rang, and I went to answer it.

''Hello birthday girl'' She said, in a happy voice, ''Finally a adult, now both of us can go pub together'' She said as her birthday is in September and mine January.

I laughed, and took her in. I darned tell her about the letter, because I have never told her anything about The Doctor, or Mum or Dad, so why should I tell her about River? I know that's kind of bad, because she is my best friend, but I don't want to make her think that I was weird. So i'd just keep it to myself. I haven't even told Ben, because he is the first boyfriend I have had, and well, I don't want to make him hate me, or despise me.

She is coming round because she wants me to get ready for tonight. Even though I told her I don't want to dress up. Oh well. When I let her in, she gave me a present and told me to open it. As I began to rip the wrapping paper of, I can see it's the green dress I saw the other day, that I really wanted, but it was too expensive. ''Thank you Lucy'' I said giving her a huge hug.

''Its alright, what are best friends for? She replied. I do love my best friend so much, she always makes me smile. I could never wish for a best-est friend than her! ''So come on, lets get some chips and sit inside for a bit watching some films, and then we can start to get ready for tonight'' She said, pulling me out of the door, and grabbing my keys of the key peg.

We got the chips, and now were sat at home watching Finding Nemo, it was her choice, because when we were little it used to be our favoraite film, and we could sit there for hours and hours watching it.

''So lets go and get ready, I'm so excited'' She squealed, jumping up and picking up the dress and running up stairs. I followed her into my room, where she was going through my draws to get my make up. I didn't really mind her doing this because to be honest, there's nothing really private in here, the only private things are in my garage, and she don't even know it belongs to me! 

She made me go and get my new green dress on, what if i do say so myself, i thought I looked really nice in, and she dont my makeup. I feel really pretty tonight, and its the first time, I think I have ever felt this good. I was actually excited about tonight.

__________________________________________________________________________________

Were now at the pub, and I have already broke my promise, I was going to get coke, but Lucy convinced me to get alcohol, she is one person, who you cant say no too! I don't intend to get drunk though, I might get tipsy but not drunk. Ben's here too, but he is only having orange juice, he don't seem to be in a very good mood to be honest. I with he'd just lighten up, because after all, it is my birthday. 

Whoops, I have gone through 8 glasses of vodka, and now i'm starting to feel a wee bit drunk. Why does it matter anyway? Its my birthday for heavens sake, I can do what I like, I'm a adult. 

Oh no, I have had to much, way way too much! So for not getting drunk. I have also pissed Ben right of, because he was sitting in the corner, ignoring everything that was going on, I started flirting with this lad near the bar, and Ben walked out, I tried to chase him, but he don't me to F of, guess me and him is over. Oh well, I'm a adult, and its a Friday night. I will find someone else!

''What about that one?'' I said giggling to Lucy, pointing at a guy near the end of the bar,

''Yes, go for it''Lucy said, I think she was just as drunk as I was.

I walked over to the man, and started giggling, he could tell I have had way to much, and turned to face me. 

''Hi baby'' He said, giving me a smile.

Oh no, what have I just done, I started kissing him, snogging him! Now, I'm walking to his house, and I don't know who the hell he is. I can't even remember his name. I think I'm starting to sober up a little tiny bit, because I seem to be able to realise what I am doing is wrong.

I tried to break free, from holding his hand, but his grip got harder, I didn't know what to do. He wouldn't let go.

''Let go of me,!!'' I shouted, trying to get his hand of me.

''No chance,'' he said, in a harsh cold way, gripping my hand even harder.

''Let go of her!'' Said a mans voice behind, that sounded familiar. I turned around to see the doctor, with staring at us, and the TARDIS in the background.

''Who are you then? Her boyfriend?'' The man said, turning round and spiting at The Doctor's feet. 

''No, does it matter who I am, I said get of her!'' He replied, moving closer to us, you could see the rage in his eyes, and I felt the grip on my hand get harder.

''Ow, your hurting me,'' I scream, in pain.

The Doctor moved right into the face of the man, and repeated ''Get of her'' but in a more harsh, way. The man let go of my hand, and ran of into the distance. I ran to The Doctor to give him a hug, he hugged me back for a little while, but the released and looked into my eyes and said ''Harriet don't you ever pull a stunt like that again! You don't know what people like that are capable of, I want you to be safe!''
