A/N2: I have been in such a happy mood in the last 24 hours because I just found out that I got accepted into the uni course I wanted!
I lent up against the closed door, like I did most days when I got home. I closed my eyes in an attempt to block out the pain that flooded my body and to stop the tears that burned in behind my eyes with their longing to fall. My attempts were futile, I don't even know why I even bothered to try and stop them anymore. After the tears came, the soul shaking sobs followed.
This ritual that was once reserved for the hard cases and disheartening family events has now become almost a daily occurrence since I discovered how happy Booth and Hannah are together. Whilst at work or around Booth and Hannah, I would be on alert, my walls slowly rebuilding as each day passed. I was more than ready to run, to run at the first sign that my defences were weakening.
Since the night we both came back from our respective trips overseas and he told me about his new girlfriend, Hannah, I slowly began to change. Before the Maluku Islands I was never jealous, but, now that I see Hannah with Booth, I don't see a relationship destined to end which was what I would have seen in the past, I see what could have been mine. The relationship I could have had. I realised too late and now I'm paying the price.
The jealousy I feel towards Hannah has been building since she came to Washington. At first I was okay with their relationship but as time has gone on she has now all but taken my place in Booth's life. She's there when Rebecca is being a bitch and not letting Booth see Parker. She's there after the tough cases. She's there with us at the diner and the Founding Fathers. I can't go on pretending to be happy for Booth while he's happy with Hannah.
Almost an hour later I had somehow found my way into my kitchen. Once there, I retrieved the bottle of vodka that was in the cupboard above the sink. Once the bottle was in my hands I never made it past the couch in the living room.
