I Can't Even

Chapter 16

Telling the gang was the worst.

They all protested. They tried to persuade me. But I knew it was the only thing I could do.

"No. You can't do that!" exclaimed Jack. "I won't let you." He tried to pull the manipulator which I had in my hands away from me, but the Doctor stepped in between us.

"She has to," he said plainly.

"But Doctor," Gwen said in her Welsh accent. "Don't you love her?"

I could see the pain in his eyes as she said it, and, even though I liked her, I felt like punching her in the face right then and there.

"Yes... But if I really do, then I will be able to remember her. If you remember someone even after that... They can come back."

"Well what if you don't?" questioned Ianto.

"Well he has to doesn't he?" replied Owen. He and the Doctor made eye contact, and I knew I made the right decision in shipping him with Gwen.

"Now Jack, how do I use this? I see the date but all I know is that it was June of 2010..." I questioned. I seriously didn't have the slightest idea how to use it.

"How can you expect me to help you do this!?" he half-yelled. He walked quickly and purposefully towards me, that purpose to stop me. He reached for me, and I knew my plan had to be changed slightly. If he got the manipulator I would never get it back. I looked the Doctor in the eye and said, "I love you." With that I punched in the date and location and hoped for the best.

So guys... Really short chapter! 😁 But I figured I should end this one here since in the next chapter we'll be meeting Eleven!! I'm excited!!

Love,
