Disclaimer: I don't own Bones, or the characters...unfortunately. The story, however, is mine.
Hey, I know this is a pretty short chapter, but it's basically the intro. I have a general idea about where I want this story to end up, but reviews will help me get there, so please don't be shy!
Dr. Temperance Brennan had kept herself composed and together...at least on the outside. Little did anyone know how difficult it was to follow her daily routine. Everything in the Jeffersonian seemed to remind Brennan of him, her beloved ex-partner Special Agent Seeley Booth. The loss was most painful for Brennan, because Booth was her partner, and they had grown so close over the past years. Since his death, she often had to remind herself of the tip she had told Zack. Put your heart in a box. The little trick didn't seem to be working like it used to, partially because besides the pain she felt a deep twinge of guilt. If only Booth wouldn't have died taking a bullet for her.
Brennan was so angry at herself for thinking about Booth as much as she had been recently. Are these feelings real, or am I simply imagining them? She couldn't believe she was even considering this, but without thinkg, she answered her own question. Of course they are real! You can't feel something if it's not real. It may be wrong, but that doesn't make it false. About a hundred thoughts rushed through her head as she tried to justify what she had just been thinking.
"Brennan," Angela's voice brought her back to reality. "You're not getting out of this. You promised me you would come. I need you there."
"I know, I'm coming." She wished she had been able to turn down Angela's desperate pleas. Brennan did not want to go to the Booth's funeral.
"Are you okay, sweetie?" There was a sincere curiosity and worry in the eyes of Brennan's best friend.
As genuinely as possible, Brennan answered, "Yes, I'm fine." She hoped Angela would buy it, and not see that she was also trying to convince herself.
Angela decided to drop the conversation, taking note that something was definietly going unsaid, but if Brennan wasn't ready to talk about it, then she would just have to wait. They walked through the parking lot in silence, and remained that way as Angela drove to the church where the unfortunate ceremony was to take place.
LIKE I SAID...SHORT. PLEASE REVIEW WHETHER YOU LIKED IT OR NOT. IT'LL REALLY HELP ME :]
