Hey guys! This is my first EVER Bones fic I`ve written so please don`t be too harsh ;) I came up with this idea while listening to Miley Cyrus` song Take me along, so thought I should name the fic after it. I really hope you enjoy it and if you have any questions, just ask :)

I`m gonna dedicate this to Lauren (Lisbon94) who got me into watching Bones in the first place! I`m so glad she did cuz it`s an awesome show! Thank you Lauren!

And I know I`m sorta stealing Devon`s and Laurens idea line here (well I had discussed it with Lauren before!) but...

I`m not depressed, I just find it easier to write angst, drama, heartbreak etc...But yea, though my fics might be depressing...I`m not! :)

Enjoy!

Bones sat on the bench by the reflection pool, clutching onto a fresh cup of coffee she had only purchased a few moments ago at the coffee cart. She should have been enjoying her beverage with a familiar agent, the closest friend she had right next to Angela. He bailed on her...`No, he didn`t' she forced herself to believe but she hoped it wasn`t true...she trusted him; he couldn`t possibly have bailed on her, could he? Booth stuck to his promises, a majority of the time and she so desperately hoped nothing had changed over the past seven months.

She had a fantastic time at the islands, finding out new things she had never heard about before and of course assisting the scientists there. They had assured her it was a pleasure working with her and would ask her back but she had said no, she had family, friends and a certain agent to meet up with and she wasn`t prepared to tears herself away from them.

An hour and a half had passed and the mall just continued to fill with eager costumers and excited kids while her coffee began to go from warm to cold in a matter of moments. She stared at the floor tile in shame and gathered herself and her belongings up and made her way to her car, which was parked up on the curb. He binned her coffee and sat into her car, slamming the door after her and stared at the road. Her knuckles became white as she curled her fists around the steering wheel and started the car up and drove away.

She had never, ever expected their reunion to end like this. She began to doubt him, had her refusal to be his lover finally make him snap and forget her, or was it something completely different? She greatly hoped it was the latter, but in better circumstances and not ones she couldn`t bare.

Bones eventually reached the lab and ran for the elevator while her fingers brushed against her jean pocket where her cell phone was, She had no idea if she`d be able to contact him and sending an email of letter would take too long by the time he would get around to replying. She darted out of the elevator and ran to her office, ignoring the strange looks she was receiving by squints and scientists that flooded about the floor. Taking up residence of her couch, she stared at the copy of her latest novel and let her hands trail along the book leaf, then to the acknowledgements page, a small smile fainting at her lips.

-A huge thank you goes to Special Agent Seeley Booth; his superb federal skills have increased my knowledge in federal investigations by assisting him on many cases which I am truly grateful. Thanks Booth for being a brilliant partner and friend, I treasure our friend ship and forever hope it stays that way-

She continued to smile at the small print, recalling the time when she when she tried to think up of something to say that wouldn`t sound completely heartless and blunt and had meaning to it.

And yet he had no idea she had mentioned him in her book.

Leaving the novel on the couch, she moved on over to her desk, picking up a picture of her and Booth and smiled toward it. She heard her phone ring and pulled it from her jean pocket, staring at the unknown number before she decided to answer.

"Doctor Temperance Brennan" she said quite blankly, part of her wanted it to be Booth but the other half knew it wasn`t. Endless possibilities swirled about her mind as she heard the male voice which instantly alerted her and she bore her eyes into the picture of Booth.

"Doctor Brennan, I have been informed that you are Agent Booths partner, is that information correct?" he questioned and she crossed her legs and sat in closer to the desk, tears glazing her eyes and she mumbled something.

"Yes I am Booths partner. Who are you?"

"Lieutenant Alec Allen, of the US army ma`am"

"Lieutenant, is Booth alright? It seems strange that you called me instead of Booth"

"Doctor, Agent Booth was killed in the line of duty a week ago" his words came as a slow flow and she could feel herself gripping tighter onto the phone and the photo frame as tears now pricked at her eyes.

"No that`s not possible. You`re wrong! He can`t be dead, he was only going to Iraq to save lives, not to get his taken! You`re lying!"

"Doctor, I assure you agent Booth is dead .He suffered a traumatic death by explosion. I apologize; his remains will be flown out this evening and brought directly to the Jeffersonian as soon as they arrive"

"Thank you for informing me lieutenant" with that, she hung up the phone and stared at one of the many photos she had together with him. He was gone, dead and she only got to bid him a small goodbye. 7 months ago.

Tears streamed down her pale face and fell from her jaw line; she wiped her eyes and picked up her phone. Pressed speed dial 2, she prepared herself for to call the one person she could rely on; right next to Booth. Her best friend and Colleague;

Angela Montenegro.
