Rose returns to Bad Wolf Bay, seeking time alone with her memories of the Doctor. But while there, she has an unexpected encounter with someone who understands her pain better than she could have ever imagined. (Taking place sometime between 'Doomsday' and 'The Stolen Earth')

I wasn't suppose to live. I was born to die. I was never meant to have been born at all. Somehow, unintentionally, I was kept alive by a man known as The Collector. There I was kept hidden from my father, my brothers and sisters and the rest of the galaxy. But it was also there, in that glass box and the tanks that confined me, where I found my ticket to freedom.

Farren Mitchell is ready to leave. She wants to get out of her boring town and do something worthwhile. She wants to leave the painful memories that the town holds. Then enters Blake Pierce. He is the new, deaf kid who moved in right next door to Farren. He is kind, attractive, and everything that could make Farren stay in her little town. Between new love interests, returning alcoholic fathers, devastating accidents, and many love triangles, will Farren choose to stay in her town with the people she loves? Or will she go to seek new beginnings in a different place? WARNING I wrote this story as a very young writer & let me tell you, it is not the best READ AT YOUR OWN RISK
