Chapter 29. I Don't Know Why I Only Know Who
Leyna's POV
I stormed out of the medical bay, letting the tears that were threatening to spill rush down my face. He has to kill me. I went to my room and got my emergency suitcase from out between the bookcase and the dresser. I knew this day would come. The day I would leave the Doctor and surrender myself to the Master just to keep in mind that the Doctor would be safe because of me. Not because he loves me, but because I love him. I do. But I had to steal the TARDIS key and his sonic screwdriver, and I don't know how much longer I can deal with that.
I went to the console and looked at the screen to make sure we were at the right place so that when I opened the door I wouldn't be stranded in another planet or time. I walk over to the door with my suitcase, and as I am opening the door, the Doctor puts his hand over mine.
"I don't know why I didn't give you this, I only know that I should've." He opened his hand and dangled a key in front of our faces. The key looked like it was glowing when I touched it, and I studied it some more.
"Doctor, this is a TARDIS key." I looked up at him and he smiled at me.
"I know, Leyna. And it's a bit late when I'm giving it to you, it's just that...." he trailed off.
"It's fine", I reassured him.
There was a lot of things going on, so he just didn't have the time to give it to me. I wiped the tears off my face, put on a smile, and hugged the Doctor.
We broke from the hug and were leaning in to kiss each other, when the Doctor spoke up.
"You can leave if you want, but you can come back any time."
"Right. Okay", I said, a mixture of hurt and stunned racing through me.
"Umm...." I looked out the door and saw all the people just walking around going on their day. Then, I saw Caitlyn."I'll be going, then."
He looked at me with sad eyes, nodded his head, then looked at the ground. He hated goodbyes so much.
"Right, then", he looked at me for a few minutes before returning his gaze to the floor. He started walking towards the console. I strolled out the door and shut it. But instead of walking to Caitlyn's house like I was thinking I would, I waited outside the closed doors. People were looking at me funny probably thinking I was some hobo that was sleeping in a police box, but I didn't care. I wanted the Doctor. But going back inside would show that I'm weak. I hovered my hand above the handle on the TARDIS door.
Doctor's POV
Was it something I said? Was it that I rejected her kiss? I wish I hadn't rejected it, its just that I will be more hurt in the end. I'm already in love with her, and if what she says is true, about her dying and all, then what's the point of confessing now? Nothing can happen and I'll be even more depressed than before. I realized that I only needed to flip one more lever before the TARDIS went to my next destination, but I didn't want to flip the lever. I wanted to see Leyna.
I walked over to the door and put my hand on the handle, but I couldn't open the door. I would look weak. And plus, this isn't one of those chick flicks that Leyna made me watch a few times where both of them are waiting on either side of the door. She would probably be long gone by now. But if she wasn't gone, this is probably the last chance I'll get to tell her I love her. And make up for that kiss.
I opened the door and saw Leyna turned around. I quickly yanked her around so that she was facing me and kissed her. She immediately pulled from the kiss and slapped me.
"Perv!" she screamed at me.
Wait. That's not Leyna.
She turned around again, this time walking away and only turning around to give me a few death glares.
I didn't care that I had just messed up and kissed a complete stranger. I'm worried about Leyna. Because wherever she is, probably isn't safe.
I walked out of the TARDIS, closed the door, and circled around it, looking for a note that might have been left. As I was at the back of the TARDIS, the phone rang.
Funny. I don't get many phone calls.
I answered the phone, and who I heard on the other end almost gave me a double heart attack.
It was Leyna. And, I shouldn't be surprised or scared that it was Leyna, it was that she was screaming.
"Doctor! Doctor! Where are you?! Where am I?! Doctor! Please help me! I need you!"
She was sobbing into the phone, while screaming on a continuous loop for me to come get her. If I trace the call.... I can get her back!
I opened the doors to the TARDIS again, this time with the phone with me, and hooked it up to the console. Wherever she was, hooking up the phone will take me to her.
As the TARDIS was dematerializing, I thought about all the memories I had with her.
Watching those chick flicks:
"Doctor, this is romantic! You just don't know what you're talking about!"
"Leyna, this is so unrealistic, this can never happen in real life!"
"Yeah. I think you're just too afraid to ask me out and watching a chick flick while saying how unrealistic it is is just an excuse!" she joked.
We laughed at her joke and I put her arm around her. We sat like that for the rest of the movie.
When we watched Arrow together:
"Leyna, be quiet! I'm watching my show!"
"When did Arrow become your show?"
She handed me a bowl of popcorn.
"When I was the one crying in the theatre!"
"You know what, Doctor? You should have a show about you. It would be great!"
"Oh yeah, and what would it be called?"
"Hmm..." she wondered while tossing some popcorn into her mouth. "Doctor Who!"
And all the times I tried to kiss her:
"Doctor, what are you doing?" she asked me.
"Admiring the view."
"But you're looking at me", she smiled.
"I know."
I would lean in to kiss her, but she wouldn't notice because she would turn her head back to the mountains or valley or wherever we landed.
And now, she was gone.
And it's all my fault.
No more chick flicks, no more Arrow, no more adventures.
The TARDIS landed and I opened the door. Leyna was tied up to a chair and... The Master?! What was he doing here?
"Care to join us, Doctor?" he asked while guards came and tied me to a little trolley.
