Okay guys so this is it! Last chapter :') have loved this story, sure it's been a short one but it had to be written!

Chapter seven

Sobs wracked his body as Reality returned. The Doctor was lying sprawled on the floor of the Tardis, face soaked with tears and shaking from head to toe.

No, no, no… It cannot have all been a dream… was not a dream…

In the back of his mind he can feel the gentle comfort of the Tardis, trying to help him. He rolled so he was lying flat on his back, arms clenched to his sides staring up at the roof. Of course that is what he did; he made it worse for himself. Not only was Rose… gone, but he made it harder. The doctor had not been able to face death, so instead he ran away into his own mind creating a safe world of hope and love. But Rose can't just die, for no reason. She was so young… and he…

Letting out a sigh and trying to steady his breathing and thumping hearts the Doctor stands and puts on a blank face. If he is going to do this, he needs to stay calm. He would risk anything to save her, so that is what he is going to do. The time lord couldn't help but think he had gone insane as he sprinted around the Tardis console, all his joints screaming in protest after having been lying on a hard floor for only God knows how long. He hated himself, why did he do this to people. He is poisonous, a horrible being. Continuously destroying people around him. How many people have died in his name? Too many to count.

And he remembers them all. Every single face, each person lost. Their voice, faces, screams forever etched in his mind. Fresh tears stream from his eyes as he remembers Rose's face when she fell. He should have been there to catch her, just once, he should have caught the person he pushed of a cliff. If she was here, she would be telling him to think of the people he has saved, lives he has changed, and planets still safe in the sky because of him. But right now the pile of bad things he has done, overwhelms the good. But this time, he will not, no way no how, let her fall and not have someone there to catch her.

Pushing the Tardis back in time a few weeks he began looking, for the weak spot. The point in the wall between the universes was he could send through a message. He had a plan, if he couldn't be there to catch her someone else had to be. Calling out through the void, he searched for Peter Tyler.

He felt the pull, a strange tug in the back of his mind, calling to him. A small voice calling out his name. He had had the strangest dream. Well he dreamt of the Doctor, and of her, Rose, all the time. The Doctor haunted his dream constantly. But tonight had been different; it felt like the doctor was really there. He hated the Doctor that man had destroyed so much and turned his world upside down. He had lost the woman he loved because of him. But still he trusted him; the Doctor was a man anyone could feel like they would trust. But now this dream had been telling him to do a strange thing, something extremely odd. He was to follow the voice, and meet the Doctor.

The Tardis screaming in protest, The Doctor trying hid hardest to hold on. He was attempting to shove an image of himself through the walls of the universe, and into another. He was orbiting a super nova, trying to force an image across. Suddenly with a lurch he found himself lying flat on his back, the image of a beach around him.

"Hello Doctor" the doctor spun around, hoping it had worked. Standing in front of him was Pete Tyler.

"Hello Pete" The Doctor looked awkward, stuffed inside his pockets. Peter looked him over, the man was a mess. Clothes crumpled hair messy and his eyes; they held more hurt and pain then he had ever seen. His face was blank, calm but his eyes, were those of a man burning at the stake.

"What's happened Doctor? I assume something has happened since this is not a social visit. And how are you here? You said it was impossible for you to come back"

"right now that is not important, I will try and explain some of it the next time you see me, but first does anyone know why you are here?" after a head shake from Pete the Doctor continued "you can't tell anyone you have been here before since if this is where the gap comes out… this is not going to be the only time you see me here. But anyway, you see in a few weeks' time something is going to happen to Rose. There will be a battle, and you will come back to my universe. At the end rose will fall towards the void, you have to be there to catch her. I can't be so please, please be there to catch her when she falls" the doctor was begging, his eyes pleading

"But when? How will I? How is this even possible?!"

"You will understand when the time comes. But you have to be there because if you don't… Rose will die. You cannot under any circumstances tell anyone about any of this, I'm sorry Pete but it is of the uttermost importance you don't tell anyone. Don't even tell me, if you do it would cause a paradox, the universe would implode"

"But how do you know I have to do this?"

"Because…" the doctor tried to continue but there was a lump in his throat, with tears stinging his eyes he told peter "I just came from the future… a few weeks in the future. She dies Pete she… she's dead. And I refuse to let that happen"

"But isn't this a paradox?!"

"The Tardis will maintain it, and I will be the only one it will affect. But time lord mind, I can handle it" as he spoke his head began to ache, a banging in his mind as the Tardis called to him "I have to go now Pete but please save her" He left Pete standing open slightly opened mouthed on the beach, holding back his own tears, for his "daughter" and for him, the man who saved so many trying to save one more.

The Doctor held onto the Tardis console as she shook, trying to fix the paradox, but to maintain it because the Tardis loved Rose to. As the Doctors memories changed he ran around the console. He had two memories now, one in with she died, and one where she left for the parallel world. Now he had to call to her, to say goodbye. But no matter what happens, he will still have the dreams in his head, of his time with Rose in a world where everything was okay. He couldn't help but feel pained, he still loses her but maybe it's not forever, you never know what this crazy universe will throw at you. He knew now, that even he it was not him, someone would always be there to catch Rose Tyler at every single fall.
