Chapter Twenty-Two - A Missed Opportunity
I barely slept that night. All I could think about was the Doctor and how he didn't even come to find me. But I couldn't blame him. I mean, the TARDIS gets its times wrong and he probably has Amy and Rory or his wife in his TARDIS so no need for a fourth person ruining the fun. But I couldn't think of that! All these thoughts just bouncing around my head gave me a headache and before I knew it the time was seven o'clock and Mackenzie was getting ready to go to work.
I walked downstairs and found Mackenzie in a smart paramedic uniform. "Very smart Mackenzie." I said. "Thanks. I left a message on my friend's answerphone. We should get a call back later. Oh and I've left a key to the house on the small table. See you later." Mackenzie said then rushed out of the door to go to work. I watched TV for about an hour before being bothered to get ready to go out. I showered, got changed, grabbed the house keys and left to catch a bus to my town.
I got to my town and walked around without the worries I had last time when I thought that Adrian had been taken by the scientists... of course! Adrian. I could see Adrian and if the woman is still there she won't know. But I didn't have the courage to face him like I thought I had. I just walked to my flat. I finally got there and got out a pin that I borrowed from Mackenzie. I had no keys to my flat so it was the only thing I could really do. I got in okay and looked around the messy flat, which was normal by the way.
I started by packing some clothes that I didn't bring with me to the TARDIS in a bag. Next I grabbed some health and hygiene stuff like tablets, perfume. All that stuff. I had a look around the rest of the bedroom. I picked up my dream journal because it felt special to me. It had all of mine and the Doctor's adventures in it and I guess he was a closer friend than I thought. At least to me, he has a wife for god's sake! I couldn't love him. Could I? No. No. No! Before leaving I checked my answerphone for any messages. I got one from work saying that I was fired, lots from people trying to sell things and that was about it. It was all junk to me so I left for my new home.
I walked past the park where I found out that I was a Time Lady and opened the watch. I loved this park. I walked past it then heard that wonderful whooshing sound of the TARDIS. It was at the other end of the park so I ran faster than I ever had run before to get there before it left. It started dematerializing and I was too late. I stood in front of where the TARDIS would have been a few seconds and my head dropped. I could have been with the Doctor again. So he did go and look for me but I wasn't there. Why didn't he just look for my signal? I put up the hood on my hoodie and walked away with tears falling down my face. Why am I always messing things up? But it wasn't my fault. I had no idea whos fault it was for teleporting me out of the TARDIS but whoever it may have been was going to pay. I had a feeling it was Xaviar but it may have been someone else. I had no idea.
I got back to the house and just flopped onto the sofa and sighed. I hated that moment in the park when I nearly got back in the TARDIS but no. I had to miss the opportunity again. The phone rang but I let it go to answerphone. "Hello Mackenzie. It's Lewis. Tell Anya she's got the job and she's starting work tomorrow at ten. Bye." I got the job. Big whoop. I had to start a whole new life until I was reunited with the Doctor, if I was reunited with the Doctor.
