Doctor's POV

I pulled a knob and walked over to twist a few dials and glanced at the monitor. It was set for a galactic ship and I had my hand on the lever. My head was aching and my hands were sweaty. Jay's face flashed in my mind. I shut my eyes and I tried not to think about her. I did this to her and I could never forgive myself for it. I gritted my teeth and punched myself in the arms. I felt mad, and confused. How could I go into someone's life, and let them trust me. Me. Me, of 7 billion people in the world, and countless more in space,

"Why me!" I shouted to the TARDIS. I shrunk down the control panel and covered my face with my hands. I had to leave her, because the truth is too great. I can't go back to her. She would never trust me. Then I had a thought.

If she felt the same way as I did, she might forgive me. If she could look into the pit of her heart, her soul even, she could pity me for the mistakes I've caused her. The grief, the torment, and pain. Then again, she did go out of her way to bring me into her home...her heart.

I couldn't walk out on this one...not again...not this time. I did it with Rose and Dona, I couldn't do it with Jay. It would be too much for me.  I would kill myself before I walked out on her. Not this time.

I stood up with a resound confidence, and I punched in numbers, turned knobs, and set the coordinates back to the hospital. I had my hands on the lever and I thought about all the beautiful moments I had with Jay. The first time we met, the walk in the park, our kiss. I couldn't run away from those things. Not this time!

I pulled the lever and the TARDIS shook, sending us to destiny.
