A glimpse of heaven
-1-
Heartbreaking news
As the dawn emerges, I cry in grief
Sorrows flow,
The sadness of another day tortures my heart
Life fades, echoes, voices calling within my mind.
Shadows.
I cry.

She sighed contently as she slipped under her sheets. It was late enough and she was oh-so-tired. Those last days had been quite long and exhausting and she was happy to get finally some sleep.
Her pillow smelled nice after her shampoo and the cold sheet felt wonderful on her hot skin. Slightly smiling she closed her eyes, turned the light off and drifted to sleep.
Brennan was already half asleep, when a couple of loud knocks on her front door made her sit up. She quickly slipped into her robe and walked over to the door. Only one person would knock this late.
But when she opened the door, it was indeed her partner, but he looked like hell. His eyes were red and puffy, his hair a mess and his body was shaking.
"Booth?", she said immediately terrified, "what happened?"
He didn't answer right away, just pulled her into his chest and started to cry into her neck. She quickly wrapped her arms around his shaking figure, but felt helpless. Never had she seen Booth like this. Something really bad seemed had happened.
She didn't know how long they stayed like this, but once his tears died down, she somehow managed to drag him to her couch.
As soon as he sat down he pulled her on his lap, holding her as tight as he could. And she couldn't do anything else than stroking gently through his hair and pressing reassuring kisses to his forehead.
"They didn't let me go to him. Said it was too late," he sobbed.
Confused Brennan tried to figure out what he was talking about. Her mind was working fast, but she couldn't find a reasonable answer.
"To whom, Booth? Who didn't let you go to whom?"
He breathed in and out and calmed himself a little. Slowly he started to sit up and looked into Brennan's concerned face.
"To Parker. He, Becks and Brent were on their way back from his parents when the accident happened. Parker is the only one who survived because his child seat saved him. He has some damages as well and has to stay in hospital. And they won't let me go to him." Booth ended and started to cry again and Brennan couldn't help but join him.
I know, really sad beginning, but it's going to get happier, I promise ;)
As always, I'd really like you to R&R ! :]
