Title: Living Without a Rose
Character(s): Donna Noble, Martha Jones, Jack Harkness, The Tenth Doctor
Pairing(s): Ten/Rose
Rating: PG
Setting: Season Three
Disclaimer: Characters you recognise belong to the BBC.
A/N: This one is from four viewpoints; one verse apiece - Donna (the Runaway Bride), Martha (the new Companion), Jack (and I imply in this that he saw exactly what happened to Rose in Doomsday) and the Doctor.
Summary: Different people see things different ways.

I know him just barely,
But already see
This man is in pain,
And desperate need.
He can barely function,
Holds his memories close,
But oh, how he misses his Rose.

I know that I should
Be helping him heal;
Instead I've insisted
He hear how I feel.
I wish he had told me
What happened to Rose:
He loves her; oh, I hope she knows.

I cannot imagine
What it's like to be him.
For I've seen that footage,
And I've heard him scream;
With Rose beyond his reach,
He's falling apart;
And watching it breaks my heart.

I miss her; I miss her
Far more than I should;
Oh, I would be with her,
If only I could.
She's safe, if unhappy
(As far as I know)
Oh Rassilon, take care of my Rose.
