I know it seems Goth, but the idea wouldn't leave me alone. If I get enough reviews, I'll work on future and happier chapters :)
Chapter 1: Afraid
"Just when it's getting good
I slowly start to freeze
Just when it's feeling real
I put my heart to sleep
It's the memory I can see
Then this fear comes over me
Understand that I don't mean
To push you away from me"
Temperance's Apartment
Temperance Brennan sat on the couch, life has always seemed to be so cruel. She had lost everyone she loved in her life. Her parents, her brother, her friends were becoming distance, and Booth… She left at six, and had been sobbing for two hours. The only food she ate was ice cream, not even caring how much she ate.
Even though she knew at least something about her parents and had her brother back, she felt lonely and sad knowing that her father didn't want her to find him. She reached for the probably the thousand tissue, wiping her tears, trying to erase the painful memories.
She hardly opened up to anyone, except for Seely Booth. He had been as sweet as can be in her time of need. From when she learned about her parents, to when she was upset about killing someone. He opened up to her about his past and she just pushed him away. What happened today was constantly replaying in her mind.
"Why am I so afraid to crash down and
Lose my heart again
I don't know, I can't see what's come over me
Why am I so afraid to break down and
Lose my mind again
I don't know, I can't see what's come over me"
Temperance's Office (Before)
She was in her office, working on her book, when she saw Booth standing in front of her wide open door. She saved her work and closed her laptop.
"Hey," she said in a low murmur.
"Hey, can we talk?"
She nodded. Booth closed the door and sat on the couch. He ran a hand through his hair and sighed after Brennan took a seat next to him.
"Look, Bones, there's something I've always been wanting to tell you. I knew we're partners and friends, but I've always felt something more. Now, I think you should know… I love you."
She was stunned and couldn't fight tears, in a hush tone she said, "Maybe you should go…"
Booth was heartbroken and left. Brennan quickly packed her things and left the lab, not caring that all her squints saw her run out of there with tears.
You got a way of easing me out of myself
I can't stay but I can't leave,
I am my worst enemy
Please understand that it's not you
It's what I do
Just when I'm about to run
I've realized what I've become
Booth's Apartment
Booth ran a hand through his hair for the millionth time. Brennan's words echoed in his head.
"Maybe you should just go…"
He was better off not knowing her reaction. It had to be done, and he knew it. His cell phone ringing interrupted his thinking.
"Booth."
Nothing, after 4 seconds the line went dead. He immediately recognized who called in a heartbeat. He grabbed his cell phone, jacket, and keys and left.
"Why am I so afraid to crash down and
Lose and my heart again
I don't know, I can't see what's come over me
Why am I so afraid to break down and
Lose my mind again
I don't know, I can't see what's come over me
Now I wonder what you think of me
Don't know why I break so easily
All my fears are arms surrounding me
I can't get no sleep
I keep running in circles around you
Are you the trap I wanna fall into???
Why am I so afraid to crash down and
Lose my heart again
I don't know, I can't see what's come over me
Why am I so afraid to break down and
Lose my mind again
I don't know, I can't see what's come over me
Why am I so afraid to crash down and
Lose my heart again
I don't know, I can't see what's come over me
I'm so alone without you
What's come over me?"
What do you think? Be critical, but not mean. :)
