Chapter Four – We Are Not Alone.

The Doctor's P.O.V.

"MOLLY! NO!" I screamed, as I backed away in horror.

I had killed her. ME! I always got them killed. Now Molly. She died because of my life story. Like the rest of them.

No. This time I would save her. I'm The Doctor. I can save anybody!

I ran. Back over to the TARDIS. I flew through the doors and straight up to the console. I flicked switches and pulled levers. Luckily the TARDIS cooperated with me and soon we were flying.

I did what I did with River that time and landed us on the side of the building. I landed 2 minutes back in time, so I was ready for when she jumped. I made sure the gravity in the TARDIS kept pulling us to the floor. I rushed and opened the doors, only to see Molly stood on the edge.

She said a few words, before a pair of arms wrapped around her waist.

My arms.

She was pulled back off the ledge, before the shouting began. I could hear it all clearly. I heard what an idiot I sounded like.

"I LOST MY ENTIRE PLANET! MY ENTIRE SPECIES AND ALL MY FRIENDS OVER THE YEARS! AND IT'S ALL MY FAULT!"

"Doctor...."

"I'M THE REASON THEY'RE ALL DEAD! I KILLED THEM ALL! SO JUST SHUT UP ABOUT LOSING A FEW PEOPLE! I'VE LOST MORE THAN YOU! YOU'RE NOT THE ONLY MURDERER UP HERE!"

"Take it back."

"YOU GO ON ABOUT LOSING YOUR FAMILY! IT WAS ONLY YOUR FAMILY! I LOST EVERYTHING!"

"I said. TAKE IT BACK!"

"NO! YOU KNOW WHAT MOLLY? NO!"

I had been stupid. How could I have said that to Molly? She only tried to help me. And I threw it all back in her face. She had lost everything in the space of a few months.

And I blamed her all for it.

I looked up again and saw Molly stood on the edge again. But this time she jumped. I heard my old self, scream in terror as she fell to her death.

I held my arms open as she got ever closer to me. She soon landed in my arms and I collapsed to the floor.

I pulled out my Sonic and zapped the console to fly away, before the old me saw me. I turned back to Molly, to see her looking up.

"Molly? It's alright. I got you. Are you alright? It's me." I whispered, pulling her into my chest.

"Dad?" She asked.

Dad? Oh. She had jumped off the roof. She thought she was dead. With her family.

"No, Molly. It's me. The Doctor."

"Doctor? What are you doing here? What's going on?" She whispered, pulling herself into me more.

"I saved you Molly. In my ship. Remember I told you?" I asked, wrapping my arms around her.

"What? Why am I still alive? Why am I not with my family?"

"Because you didn't die, Molly. I refused to let you die. You've got to much to live for." I explained, as she began to move away from me.

"Doctor? Why did you do it? I wanted to die." Molly said, standing up but she was shaking.

"I know, Molly. I know. But think of the future. You could have a great one!" I replied, trying to reason with her.
