After two more weeks of living with The Doctor in the Tardis, I decide that it's time for me to face my mum.

It's honestly been the best 2 weeks of my life and I really don't want to leave the Tardis...

Or The Doctor.

Breaking the news to her is going to be hard, especially because she might think of it as me moving back into my parents house forever.

However, it must be done.

Sighing, I sling my packed bag over my shoulder and look around my room.

Yaz, you're not leaving forever. Just for a week or two. Just rip off the plaster and get it over and done with.

Nodding to myself, I open my door, take one good look at my room and leave.

But only for a little while.

Walking down the hall to the console room is hard. Knowing I might not be back for a month.

Maybe even two.

Now in the console room, I look around for The Doctor, my eyes lighting up when I spot her.

"Hey Yaz! I've got an amazing day planned for today! Swimming, dressing up and baking!"

Hearing her say all this almost makes me want to drop my packed duffel bag and forget all about my troubles.

Almost.

"Sorry Doctor but today's the day where I have to go back to my mum."

Instantly, I see the forming of tears in The Doctor's eyes.

"I'm not leaving forever though, only to sort things out with my mum!"

I hastily add this, not wanting to upset The Doctor further.

The Doctor begins to tremble in front of me, her face wincing in what seems to be unbearable pain. What began as average crying then develops into hard-core sobbing, a process that I can't stand to know that I've caused.

"Doctor, please try to understand that I have to go.

I'm starting to regret ever telling her that I have to leave. I could of snuck out last night.

Yasmin Khan!

Just an idea...

" You're right Yaz, you need to leave. Just... "

I tilt my head expectantly at her.

"Hurry back."

She whispers it so quietly that I almost ask her to repeat it. Although I know I heard it because The Doctor's face looks embarrassed and bright red.

If anything, it's kind of funny.

"Doctor, of course."

Hesitantly, I walk over to her. My hands caress her cheeks as I map out her temples with my fingertips in light wispy movements.

"I'll be back before you have time to really miss me."

The smile on The Doctor's face upon hearing this makes me feel kind of happy inside.

She suddenly leans her forehead into mine, resulting in my face to heat up to a considerable of that makes me kinda of embarrassed.

"Your face is really warm."

The Doctor's face suddenly lights up with what seems to be an idea.

"Is it because you really really like me?"

I can't really look her in the eyes after she says this. Averting my gaze, I can feel The Doctor's eyes on me. Probably trying to suss out whether or not I do.

"Yes. Because I really really like you."

Suddenly, I find myself smiling uncontrollably.

She's honestly too much.

"Well, I really really like you too Yaz."

Staring into The Doctor's eyes leaves me paralysed. The brown colour of them seems to tumble and swirl, like a batch of whipped cream. The light slits decorate her eyes so much so that they begin to sparkle, like they've been dipped in glitter.

Although, it's not long before her eyes then begin to slowly close as she leans into me with her lips slightly parted.

My hands automatically reach up to The Doctor's shoulders to steady her.

If anything, you're leaning against her for support.

The Doctor's breath is sweet and makes my lips tingle as we kiss a little more, rendering me completely helpless to her touch.

The ten thousand butterflies from our first kiss apparently haven't left.

As I walk up the stone stairs leading to my flat my heart begins to race.

What if my mum decides I'm never allowed to go travelling with The Doctor ever again?

I really did not think this through.

At all.

Needless to say, I still climb the stairs with plenty of determination in me, ready to tackle my mum.

Before I can even knock onto the door, my mum swings open the door to confront me, her face contorted into a expression of utter and complete pent up rage.

"You have been gone for a month. A month. You better have a very good explanation as to why you up and left your family for that lady."

My mum leans against the threshold, arms crossed and ready for me to explain as to why I went AWOL.

I can't exactly tell her I went AWOL for love.

She'd scoff at that.

"Well?" My mum raises her eyebrows at me, urging me to challenge her.

In that moment, I decide today might not be the best day to fight with my mother over whether my reasons for leaving her, my sister, my nan and my dad for a month were justified.

Instead, I decide to walk past her and into the house.

Today just isn't my day, is it?

I dump my suitcase and bag in the passage, not making any eye contact with my mum as I do so. Knowing her, she's probably thinking of ways that she could scream at me right now.

Out of nowhere, my sister Sonya pops up.

"Hey Yaz, how was your month long sleepover with your girlfrieeennnddd?"

I take a sharp intake of breath, suddenly winded.

Remember what the main rule was Yaz.

Deny.

Deny.

Deny.

Deny everything.

"She's not my girlfriend Sonya." I saw nonchalantly, not bothering to turn my head towards her.

"I only stayed with The Doctor for so long because she needed me to stay, otherwise I would have came home."

My sister stares at me suspiciously then glances over to my mum.

"I'm going out with friends."

And, with that, Sonya leaves.

Leaving me to face my mum.
