Cassandra Book 2 (A Doctor Who Fanfic)

Chapter 5 New Earth Part 1

"Come in." I called out as I heard a knock on my door, as I finished brushing my newly cut hair. It was nice to have my hair back to its original style of just being over my shoulders again, but then it was also nice to have break from running away from monsters, with what had recently happened. It has just been over a week since the Doctor's regeneration and Sycorax invasion and Rose and I decided to spend some time with everyone before going of again. It also gave me time to rest as well and for the Doctor to fix a medicine that could hopefully help me, which he did. I still get headaches and pains here and there but not as much. Even memories of my mother wasn't coming as frequent like it did on Christmas day, which was good, but I still got images and words flashing through my head that make me stops me dead in the tracks of my everyday stuff, but that just has to be something I live with until all this was sorted.

I turned around from the mirror to see James entering the room, and I couldn't help but smile, as I slipped my hairbrush into my suitcase.

"You made it." I said as I then went to give him a hug.

"Of course I did, who would I be if I didn't say goodbye before you left again to go on your amazing adventures, with the Doctor and Rose." He smiled at me, letting go of me. During this break I had actually spent a lot more time spending time with him and growing our bond together. It made me realise how happy I was to have someone I grew up with back in my life again. I grew to respect him and love him a lot more than I did in the past, especially when I realised how more accepting he was with everything, who I am and my exciting but dangerous life. I was truly grateful to see how he truly meant what he said in Cardiff and how he wanted to come back into my life again. With him here with me, it somehow made me wonder, what would happen if I tried to contact Lorraine. I knew that we wouldn't always be on the same page, but then again she did help raise me and did I really want my last connection with her to be from her fight. I wondered if I should try and contact her make our goodbye more of a civilized way. So much has changed now, and with the thought of death on my mind, should a petty fight really be the best way to end it. I mean I still stand by with how she can't tell me how to live my life, but I do understand at times when she was there trying to think what would be best for me in the future, even if she didn't go the right way around it. I mean we all get brainwashed into a system, which is that you need to make money to survive and live and only a few can really break away from that.

"You know I am actually going to miss you." I laughed, speaking honestly.

"And I will take that to heart. I will miss you too, but you're going to be phoning me right. I'm not having it turn out like last time." He stated and I nodded.

"Yeah, but you gotta call me too though... even if I may not be able to answer from running away from crazy monsters." Which caused him to laugh slightly.

"Now, you be careful." He ordered.

"Of course I will." In responded, before he remembered something.

"Oh I got you something." He told me before going into his leather satchel, he used for work, and pulled out an old fashioned book. "I found another one and thought you could add it to your collection." He explained passsing me another old atlas book, which I could help, but smile sadly at as I took it off him.

"You didn't have to..." I began, knowing this meant a lot to him.
"But I wanted to." James responded back to me and I gave him another hug.
"Thank you." I thanked him before commenting, "You love languge is defaintly gift isn't it."Which caused him to laugh again.
"Yes and I know that your's is words of affirmation. Negative words don't truly affect you, but words of love do. I can see that, due to the way you smile."
"I guess, I have always wanted to be accepted and feel like I belong and now I do." I whispered thinking about what I said for a second.
"Honey, I am so happy that you feel that way. It makes me happy to see true joy coming from you." He brought up and I nodded my head.
"James, you'll be close to my heart." I smiled at him before hearing a knock on the door again and we both turned to see Rose, already bagged up.
"Hey, you ready?" Rose asked me and I nodded.
"Yeah, we shouldn't leave the Doctor waiting, plus I think even though this break was nice, I would love to go to another different planet again." I grinned.
