The Doctor leaned back on the couch "I honestly don't know... I have never been so sick, I don't feel like doing anything and normally I want to see the universe." He closed his eyes for a moment. "Needed to see Rose, needed to tell her why I did what I did."
He leaned over taking Rose's hand. "I am so sorry I did what I did... So so sorry, But I had to go somewhere where the chance of survival was pretty much no chance, I know If I told you, you would have still wanted to come, and I couldn't let you be killed, Promised Jackie I'd keep you safe, I didn't want you to see me killed either," He was very pale and he closed his eyes. "I am surprised I survived."
