Disclaimer: I don't own "Great Companion" by Landon Pigg or Bones, I just put them together for you guys :
Summary: What should have happened when Bones told Booth that Sully asked her to go to the Caribbean.
It's not that you lost a friend
I just need some time to lick my wounds
I'll be out of service for a little while
I'm sure I'll be up and running soon
"He's leaving for the Caribbean for a year." I say slowly.
"I'm sorry, I know how much..."
"He asked me to go with him Booth."
I see his fists clench at his sides. "You should go."
I look up at him in suprise "I should?"
"Yeah Bones, you need a vacation, I um... I have to go...I have something in my office... paperwork, I'll uh... come get you later."
He walks away before i can even open my mouth, he was my ride.
He's just amateur these days
Not used to dealing with this pain
He's just amateur these days
Never thought that he would see a girl away
"Hey Ange, it's me, can you come get me?"
"You told him?"
"Yeah, he left."
"Bren, I am SO..."
"Please don't Ange," I say, half sighing "Please just... come get me."
"Fine but we're talking when i get there and all the way back in the car."
"Fine."
"And Bren?"
"Yeah" I ask in an almost irritated voice.
"He's just... he's not used to you walking away."
"Yeah?"
"You're his rock sweetie, he didn't think you'd ever leave."
"Ange, let me call you right back, don't leave yet."
"Okay hun, if you don't call back in 10 minutes then I'm going to assume I'm not coming."
"Ok, bye Ange."
And our history will never be erased
You were a great companion
And some memories will never ever fade
So I love and so I hate
"Booth." He answers shortly, i can hear the edge in his voice.
"You're my ride."
"What?"
"I need you to come back, you're my ride."
"Oh... right," He sounds tired "I'll be there in 5."
"Great."
True to his word he pulls up 5 minutes later.
"Thanks for coming back."
"Yeah well, i couldn't leave you stranded." He tries to smile but it doesn't seem right.
"So i was thinking, I don't want you and i to lose touch if i go with Sully. I don't want... this... to end."
What we were I never knew nor did you
That's exactly what you hated
For three years you were confused
And for three years, my intentions left unstated
"...This huh? This partnership?"
"It's more than that, i think."
"Yeah... it is," He says with a sigh. "It's more than a lot of things."
He whispers it so quietly i can barely hear him.
"We've gotten closer over the past few years, i don't want to lose that."
And our history can never be erased
You were a great companion
And some memories will never ever fade
So I love and so I hate
This time when he smiles it's real, and yet sad.
"You won't lose me Bones, never."
I smile back at him too.
Then, it slowly dawns on me.
Maybe Angela is right, maybe Booth does want me.
Suddenly i feel almost sick, all the signs seem to be glowing with neon letters.
I could no longer pretend there was nothing there.
So this is the end..
Of an innocent era, an innocent era
I didn't want you but I did it's never wrong but it is
Did i want Booth?
Did i love him?
Were we just friends?
Was i making something out of nothing?
And our history can never be erased
You were a great companion
And some memories will never fade away
You were a great companion
The SUV stops in front of my apartment building and i realize just how long we've been driving in silence.
"Thank you for the ride Booth, I'll see you later."
"You're welcome Bones, bright and early?"
"Bright and early." I say with a nod and a chuckle.
I walk into my building and up the stairs without looking back.
I don't realize that he hasn't left until i get into my apartment.
"Bones?" He asks, suddenly in my doorway.
"Yeah?"
And our history can never be erased
You were a great companion
And some memories will never ever ever fade
"Don't go."
What did you think?
