INCOMPLETE
Empty spaces fill me up with holes
Distant faces with no place left to go
Without you within me I can't find no rest
Where I'm going is anybody's guess.
Booth sat in his office, glancing over at the phone for the fiftieth time. She wasn't going to call and there wasn't going to be any apology. She had made her decision. Hurt beyond anything he'd ever felt settled into his gut as the finality of it all hit him.
I tried to go on like I never knew you
I'm awake but my world is half asleep
Booth stood and grabbed his coat. He took the stairs to avoid any well-meaning attempts from his fellow agents to comfort him. What's done was done; even though it'd been Brennan's idea to terminate their partnership, she'd done so because of him and what he'd said.
I pray for this heart to be unbroken
But without you all I'm going to be is incomplete.
Voices tell me I should carry on
But I am swimming in an ocean all alone
Looking at the ground, he almost ran into her as he exited the Hoover Building. She looked beautiful, but her expression was not a happy one. Regret flashed in her eyes before being replaced with hurt and anger. Agent Monohan steered Brennan around Booth and as he turned, Booth noticed Brennan looking back at him, her eyes shown with disappointment.
Baby, my baby
It's written on your face
You still wonder if we made a big mistake.
After an hour of driving around aimlessly, he decided to go home to try to get some much needed rest.
I tried to go on like I never knew you
I'm awake but my world is half asleep
I pray for this heart to be unbroken
But without you all I'm going to be is incomplete
Passing the answering machine on the counter, he noticed there were no new messages. Defeated, he fell onto the couch, alone with his thoughts once again.
I don't mean to drag it on, but I can't seem to let you go
I don't wanna make you face this world alone
I wanna let you go (alone)
It had seemed the right thing to do, to tell her how he felt about her. He loved her, he had admitted, had for a long time. He had prepared a hundred solutions to any concerns she might have raised, but he hadn't been prepared for her reply. Brennan had told Booth that they couldn't have a relationship, but not for reasons of safety, their working relationship, or the job. It was because she didn't love him back, would never love him any more than a brother. And then she put in for a transfer, terminating their friendship as well as their partnership. His head in his hands, he began to cry.
I tried to go on like I never knew you
I'm awake but my world is half asleep
I pray for this heart to be unbroken
But without you all I'm going to be is incomplete.
A light rapping on the door brought Booth out of his reverie. Getting up from the couch, he threw the empty bottle in the trash can. Walking to the door, he looked through the peephole and took a ragged breath. Bones. She stood only mere inches away from him and he began to feel nauseous. Against his better judgment he removed the chain from the lock and opened the door.
Incomplete.
