The Pool

What do you do when life gets you down? Go for a swim. Or at least that's how Alex saw it anyway. His entire lower body was covered with bruises and it hurt to sleep at night. He just needed something to take his mind off things ... to adjust to this new life he'd have to get used to with his father. The pool didn't hold any easy memories for him either; the last time he'd been there, his father had joined him in the water (something he hadn't expected him to do in all honesty) and they'd just enjoyed themselves, dunking each other under the water and racing each other. But he'd have to accept those memories were dead and buried, and his father would never do anything like that with him ever again. At least not with him. He tried not to think about it as he took off his clothes, pulled on a pair of swimming trunks and headed to the pool area with a towel. He dived into the warm water, letting it wash over him, hoping the rush of it would drown out the thoughts in his mind.

As the Doctor extended his hand to stop him, Alex flung it away. "Not this time, Dad ... I'm getting you back, even if it kills me doing so. Even if you do come back and end up crying over my dead body, I'll die happy knowing that I got you back!" He jammed his fingers down on the Doctor's temple and opened his mind like a floodgate. Every single happy memory that he'd shared with his father since their reunion two years ago started to flood out of his consciousness and into the Doctor's, like a waterfall.

Alex just glared up at the Doctor as he brought up the Weeping Angels incident. "But you didn't ... you came back, and I guess that's something you're going to have to live with, cause I'm not going anywhere." And then he was kicking him, hard and with force. Alex felt his rib cage crack and ache as the Doctor's foot collided with them. "Dad, stop!" he shouted. "DAD, STOP, PLEASE!" Reaching out, he grabbed the Doctor's foot and pulled with all his might, hoping to get him on the floor. As soon as he was down, he would put one hand on the side of his temple, and trigger the memories of the happy times they had shared together. Hopefully, this would make the chink the armor even wider.

"That's the whole point of being a father, Dad," Alex spat. "No matter how much shit your children give you, no matter how much they make you want to just dump them on a street corner and walk away, you stay with them and you make an effort. That was something your old self knew very well." He wiped blood from his noise, his hands now covered in it. When he was punched in the jaw, he fell to the floor, clutching his mouth. His jaw had taken a heavy hit and he could hardly move it.

Alex picked up the towel and began drying his face frantically as his father struggled to get out of the pool. "You look a little wet, Dad," he said with a little smirk as he turned to look at him. He rolled his eyes as he swore at him and threatened to give him a brand new face. "I'd love to see you try. I'm fed up of your shit, Dad. I'm not standing for it anymore. If you want to fight, fucking bring it on." This was when the Doctor punched him hard. Blood splattered the floor as Alex's nose broke (again). Looking back at him, Alex punched him back, just as hard, in the face. "I can do it too, Dad."

Alex felt like his lungs were going to explode out of his chest as water filled them. He reached a hand up to try and throw the Doctor's grip off of his head so he could get it to the surface for air. Eventually, the Doctor brought him up and he gasped for air, coughing and spluttering and spitting water everywhere. His vision was glassy as flecks of water stung his eyes. Alex did nothing but listen to his father threatening him, a stony look on his face. When that was done, he found himself being thrown back into the pool. But as soon as the Doctor stood back up, Alex grabbed one of his legs and pulled him full force into the water. He grabbed him out of the water and landed a punch right into his jaw. He punched him again in the nose before throwing him away and clambering out of the pool, reaching for his towel as he did so.

"Or what? You'll pull a Master and do a little 'I am your master and you will obey me' type shit. Well, good luck, Dad, because I am done being a piece on your little game." He snarled at him. But then the Doctor's hand was on his hair and pushing him under the water, clearly in an attempt to drown him. Alex struggled and writhed, but the grip on his head was too strong. Arms and legs flailed, splashing water all over the Doctor, soaking his suit. Gargled shouts could be heard from under the water as Alex struggled for air.

Alex swam towards the edge of the pool his dad was sitting on, gripping onto the edge of the pool as he still gasped for breath. He had been under the water a bit too long so he was taking massive gulps of air into his lungs, spitting out water from his mouth. "Teach me a lesson? What lesson? That it's okay to murder people and get away with it all the time. That it's okay to treat someone you're supposed to love and care for like crap? Do me a favour, Dad, get bent; your so called "authoritah" means nothing to me."

Alex dived underneath the water as soon as the shark disappeared, hoping that what the Doctor was going to conjure up would only be able to work above water. If he stayed down here long enough, he'd be able to show that he wouldn't come out until he stopped. But oh, was he wrong! Turning his head, Alex saw the sleek green body of the Loch Ness monster floating towards him, the reptilian eyes focused on him intently. Alex frantically swam to the surface, gasping for air. "Seriously, Dad? Seriously?!"

Alex laughed and pulled a jokey offended face. "Aww, I'm so offended, how will I ever live my life? ... I'm joking, Dad. It was only a suggestion; you'd probably try to drown me or something ... or pee in the pool or something gross like that." He said, continuing to swim around. "But it's okay, I'll just have this gigantic pool all to myself, your loss." As soon as he turned round, he saw the holographic shark dive out of the water to snatch him in its jaws. Alex shrieked and dived out of the way, splashing water everywhere. "NOT FUNNY, DAD!"

Alex raised an eyebrow as the Doctor told him to enjoy things while he could. He knew something was coming, he just didn't know what or how; but he braced himself nonetheless. He swam around the pool a few more times as the Doctor went to get his book and settle down. Alex hesitated for a minute, but he decided he would make the gesture anyway and be civil. "Hey, Dad ... you know, you're welcome to join me if you want. The water's amazing and I think a nice swim will be good for the both of us, cause we've both been a little stressed out lately. You used to love swimming with me ... we had a lot of fun."
