Jack didn't find her.
Neither did the Doctor.
If they had, she'd probably have recovered faster, but it was for the best that they didn't. Sometimes, she needed to scold herself and pull her own self together, without the benefit of someone offering her comfort. She'd botched the one chance she'd have to see her family again, and it was entirely her fault.
Now she had to make sure she hadn't lost her Doctor, too, when she'd finally found him again.
It was a few hours, perhaps, by the time she found herself standing in the doorway of the Doctor's bedroom. Of what was her bedroom longer than her other's had been. She didn't step inside, but she did speak. "I'm so sorry."
She'd taken to saying that so often now, she almost couldn't remember the days he had.

Date: 2010-04-08 02:49 am (UTC)Oh, the sweet humanized Doctor, too many soaps and romantic comedy movies with Jackie, too much watching Mickey fall in love and marry, "I don't want to be without you."

Date: 2010-04-08 02:55 am (UTC)The one she'd even turned down the very Doctor he seemed fixated on for. A part of her was entirely certain he'd process what she'd said on day, or his patience would wear out, or he'd find the glamor of being the legendary duo would fade and what she'd become would shine through too much for him to ignore anymore.
She'd become someone who could live with waiting for that, if it meant she could be with him until then. Maybe she was always that person. "No...I don't ever want you to go. Understand? Never again."

no subject
Date: 2010-04-08 03:04 am (UTC)"Think I can manage not to strangle you." She offered him a soft smile. "Hello, Doctor."
no subject
Date: 2010-04-08 03:11 am (UTC)"Can I kiss you?"
no subject
Date: 2010-04-08 03:14 am (UTC)She forced out a soft laugh. "S'long as you promise you're not a dream." Because if this were, it would be horribly cruel.

no subject
Date: 2010-04-08 03:27 am (UTC)Not that she ever particularly minded being interrupted by a kiss. Much. Better than being interrupted in the middle of an argument, anyway.

Date: 2010-04-08 03:45 am (UTC)But that was about as far as she stopped to think about it, because the Doctor--hers, not just any. Hers. And no, she hadn't moved on. Not ever. If there was one thing unchanged from the Rose before Canary Wharf and now, it was her love for her Doctor.

Date: 2010-04-08 03:56 am (UTC)Wandering hands moved to push off her jacket and toss it to the floor before he held her once more, "Promise me you'll stay in here, in our room."
no subject
Date: 2010-04-08 04:01 am (UTC)Still, he'd said something that demanded an answer. "Always. Always here, Doctor." It was dangerously close to the 'forever' she'd said and lost before.

Date: 2010-04-08 04:45 am (UTC)For now, she was happy just to crawl next to himand take one day-night-whichever the TARDIS left them with-to herself. Just this moment with her Doctor, after so long. She'd earned it, hadn't she?

Date: 2010-04-08 05:25 am (UTC)Preferably before it all crashed down on her head. Never say never, never say forever.

Date: 2010-04-08 05:55 am (UTC)The pause wasn't exactly enough to fit together all the pieces of her mind that he'd scattered when he'd turned talking--arguing more like--into snogging and using words Doctors never used. Not completely, anyway. But it was enough to think. Whether the line they were walking should be crossed. Now or ever when there wasn't forever.
Six years ago, she couldn't have. Maybe it was best it wasn't six years ago. It didn't need to be forever (Oh though she wanted it), as long as it was something. Six years moved nervous hesitation to a bitten lip and a slight nod.

Date: 2010-04-08 06:09 am (UTC)Over the past few years the Doctor had had many a dream about all of this, finding his Rose and being with her.
With the top gone, the Doctor just looked her over, shaking hands moving up her side as he drew her close and into another kiss.
no subject
Date: 2010-04-08 06:40 am (UTC)She knew this one wasn't a dream, She'd never have come up with that look on her own. And she was entirely thankful she wasn't expected to come up with any responses, because, as the Doctor seemed to have gained a talent for, the reality of it swept away any words she might've had.

Date: 2010-04-08 11:04 am (UTC)Finally, groaning, he pulled back to see what he was trying to undo. He could save worlds, defeat dalek and cybermen, but he couldn't unhook a simple bra.

Date: 2010-04-08 11:11 am (UTC)"Let me. S'a 60th century clasp." Because it was amazing how often 21st century clasps caused problems when she was out on her own. They snapped and came loose far too easily.
