Ten Minutes - Amy - PG
Ten minutes. He said ten minutes! He promised.
She knew she shouldn’t trust grown-ups. They always lie. But he’d seemed different.
He was funny and told her that he was lying when he said it would be fine.
Sometimes it felt like Rory was the only person she could talk to. No one else understood her the way he did. But this man, the Doctor, he’d seemed so nice. She thought she’d found another friend.
But he left, just like every other adult in her life, with a hollow lie of a promise to come back.
She cried herself to sleep for nights afterward, but her hope that he would come back, because he really did seem different never really died, even when those ten minutes stretched into ten years.
