Booth came in to the lab and went straight to Brennan's office.

"Hey Bones" he walked in without knocking, as usual and he didn't see her there. So after he looked throughout the rest of the lab he started to panic when she wasn't there or answering him. She was always at the lab before him.

After a while he ran into Angela and she saw him all in a frenzy and was wondering what was wrong, she had a hunch that she already knew.

"Hey G-man is everything ok?"

"Hey Ange, have you seen Bones by any chance? She's not here and I can't reach her on her cell."

"No I haven't seen her per say…but I did hear from her."

"Well what did she say?" He was starting to get apprehensive and worried. He looked sick.

"You're not going to like it." She said unsure, her brow furled and eyes averted.

"Angela tell me!" he said forcefully

"Well she said she needed to get away for a while and needs to sort out here thoughts. She said she doesn't want anyone to bother her and doesn't want you to look for her." She felt bad for Booth, he looked so hurt and worried.

"Oh ok, thanks Ange."

"I know where she is and I can assure you she's safe."

"Yeah but that's not enough Ange. I need more."

"I know, I'll try to convince her to talk to you but no promises."

"Thanks Ange." he left much unhappier than he had come, shoulders slumped and head hung low.

Meanwhile on a lake far away, Brennan sat looking at the passing sailboats and the talk stone lighthouse. This place was giving her many flashbacks into her childhood.

One of her foster homes was near a lake and she found refuge in that place. Even though she could never return there, because of the bad memories she found a new place not too far away from D.C. and she would go there whenever she needed to think about something or just wanted to get away.

She needed to get away this time because she kept having these feelings for Booth and she wants to figure out how to deal with them, but so far she's failing because all she can think about is how sexually appealing he is! She also keeps having these strange visions and she believes they are from her childhood (one of her happier times). It was of her and a boy sitting by a lake and just talking…she felt like she knew this brown-haired, chocolate brown eyed boy from somewhere.

She kept trying to clear her mind throughout the day but when that failed, she decided to head to bed. Before she did though she watched the sunset, all the while thinking about Angela's words 'a sunset's more beautiful when you watch it with someone you care about'. Her mind kept wandering back to Booth. After the sun had finally set she paddled out to the lake house, guided by the moon's light, and got ready for a restless night of sleep.

AN2: Well that's chapter 1 and I know it's pretty depressing but just bear with me…should I continue with this? I don't know if I should or not…let me know. Anyway I hope you liked it and as I said I have lots of ideas brewing as we speak! R&R please! Well TTYL
