Jake hauled the doctor up and begun to roughly push him away.

"You have to stop her!" The doctor yelled.

"No, we don't have to do anything." Jake snarled.

The doctor tried to rush past, but Jake hit him in the gut with the bat making him double over with a gasp. The doctor panted for air, two others grabbed him by the arms and started to drag him.

"She's going to get herself killed!"

"We calculated all possible outcomes... there is no other way..." Jake said softly.

The doctor kicked and screamed, hoping they would let him go but it didn't work. They dragged him into the subway tunnel towards what looked to be a control room.

There was a huge screen, CCTV cameras were hacked inside out outside the building. There was a perfect view of you crouched behind a bin with what looked like dynamite in your hand.

"Is everyone back?" Your voice echoed.

Jake pressed a button and sighed deeply.

"Yeah (Y/N), we're all back. You could just light it from there, you'd have time to run."

You laughed quietly and shook your head, placing the explosives down gently, you reached out hand into your pocket and pulled something out.

"It's the ring you gave her doctor, the one that looks like a mini universe."

"Yeah Nardole, it is." You chuckled sadly.

"You can hear us all?" He asked in shock.

You nodded and clutched the ring in your hand as you sat back on the balls of your feet. You rested your arms on your knees.

"Please, please come back. There's still time, come back." The doctor whispered.

"No..." you shook your head, "no..."

You turned to face the closest camera and with the click of a button, Jake made it full screen. The doctor felt a lump for in his throat, and for once, in a very long time. Since Clara, he felt like crying, like his whole world was falling apart.

"Don't go..." he whispered, voice cracking, "Stay with me..."

You swallowed harshly and wiped the tears that were starting to fall from your eyes.

"No..."

You took a shaky breath and offered the camera a sad smile. Nardole let out a chocked sob and a few others did he same. The doctor felt a tear slip down his face.

"I'm not afraid Doctor..." you whispered, "I'm not scared..."

"(Y/N)-" "no... listen..."

The doctor nodded his head, even though you couldn't see it.

"It's just like Clara said... in the end everybody does this alone." You let out a sob, "I promised her I would look after you... I.. I shot you... and I'm so sorry..."

"It's not your fault..." the doctor said softly.

You took the ring and placed one more kiss to it before you disappeared down the alley and came back without it.

"Doctor.. promise me something..."

"What is it?"

You picked up the explosives and turned back to the camera, clutching it tightly in your hand as you closed your eyes. Tears streaming down your face.

"Don't let this change you... okay? Do not seek revenge... do not change who you are, Stay kind. What happens next, it was my choice. Don't be a warrior doctor, be a doctor, do what you do best. Help people."

"What's the point of being a doctor if I can't help you...? If I can't save the person I care for...?"

"You did doctor... you saved me when you stumbled across me in the street that day. You saved me when you let me travel with you and Clara. You saved me in so many way."

The doctor ran a hand through his hair and down his face, wiping away the tears.

"I have to go..." you said gently, "I love you doctor... my doctor... I'm sorry..."

"No.... no please, please, please, (Y/N), please..." he begged.

You didn't say anything, and the doctor watched in heartache as you headed to the entrance of the building, you opened the door and the camera changed to you inside the building.

Inside was a loathe control centre where the brotherhood stood.

You pulled out a lighter and held it out.

"For earth... for all the people you killed!"

You lit the dynamite and ran towards the console.

"No!" The doctor screamed.

Jake switched off the camera and not even a second later the tunnel shook with the vibrations of an explosion. The doctor crumbled to his knees and let out a heartbroken cry.

He lost everyone, he last Clara, now he's lost you too.

Without thinking, he jumped up and ran all the way back outside, he ignored all the smoke and dust falling, the sirens wailing and people screaming. He ran to the alley you were in and frantically started to search, finding the place you hid the ring he once again fell into the floor.

Dust and ash fell over his suit, fell in his air, he was breathing in smoke, dust and ash, it burnt his lungs but he didn't care.

His picked up your ring and held it close to your heart, the last thing he had of you
