(A/N: Sorry this is a short chapter. Warning, Suicidal tendencies, and talk of suicide.)

"I understand it was just a kiss Yaz, I understand it wasn't her fault, but I said things to her, unforgivable things. The truth is, I still love her. I miss her, and I regret every bad thing I've said or done to her." The Doctor's voice broke as she talked with the girl while heading to the control room

It had been 5 days now if The Doctor and Annabel avoiding each other. However, the distance isn't want either Timelord really wanted.

Strangely, when they ran into each other a few times on the first two days, there would be little little signs of affection. Brushing hands, longing stairs, small smiles from The Doctor, blushing cheeks. That was three days ago though.

"Listen Doctor, I'm worried about Bell. She's had herself locked in her room for the past four days. That's not healthy, she at least needs to eat. Doctor, I think she needs you." Yaz walked off, and The Doctor sighed knowing it was true

Annabel had been crying nonstop, that was clear. The memory the woman she has deny that she loves, The Doctor's words never stopped haunting her, "You aren't worth it anyways, you're just like your brother."

Then she started to question herself, "What if I am like him?" She took a shaky breathe, "No, never! I can't be, right? God Doctor, honestly, everything you say, everything you do,

'If only The Doctor knew the whole story, that he wasn't my brother at all. If only I had told her the part where I'm a timeless child too. Maybe she'd be more empathetic? Well, probably not. Damn it Doctor, the truth is, everything you say, everything you do, I can't get you out of my head, and It's freaking me out.' The Bell's thoughts where interrupted my a knock on the door

"I'm coming in." Called The Doctor

"Don't you dare." The Bell's hostility levels rose as she took out her knives, she didn't want to give in to the love, she didn't know what to do, so of course she became defensive

The Doctor had hacked the door, unlocked if and was already in though.

"Don't take a step closer Doctor. Just leave me alone. I have nothing to say to you." The Bell threatened

The Doctor showed her hands, "It's alright Bell. Just lower your weapons."

The Bell started to relax, but then The Doctor took a step closer, a mistake.

Annabel set her Vortex Manipulator to somewhere random and held a hand over it ready to press the button, and with one hand she took one of the blades to her own throat, "Don't think I won't do it Doctor. You know all too well I've done it before. I said get away."

This made The Doctor stop, "Bell, my sweet Lil Bell, I'll stop. I just want to help. I know I've done you wrong dear. I'm sorry, I didn't mean those things. Listen, it's gonna be okay. I'm-I'm so sorry. Please, let me make it up to you."

The Bell let her guard down only for a moment, losing her weapons.

The Doctor saw her chance, she ran up to The Bell, and pinned both her wrists to the wall.

"Let go of me!" The Bell cried

"Sorry, can't do that. You're a danger to yourself. You're heart rate is elevated and your pupils are dilated, so I'm thinking, you don't really want me to let you go, do you?" The Doctor smirked

'Oh—OH, so that's how you want to play it Doctor.' The Bell said telepathically

'Let me love you.' The Doctor responded telepathically

It took a moment for The Bell she searched The Doctor's eyes, what she saw was yearning, kindness, and love.

She gave in, "Kiss me."

The Doctor closed the gap between them, crashing their lips together for a long while.

"Hey Doctor." The Bell said once they parted

"Yeah?" The Doctor's grin

"Thank you, but—" The Bell knocked her head against The Doctor's, then pushed the other Timelord out of her room, and closed the door.

From the other side The Doctor could hear the smirk in Annabel's voice as she said, "Now were even Theta."

The Doctor smiled, and was in a much better mood then the previous days before. she walked down the corridor with a skip in her step.
