Angela Hodgins sat watching her children Seeley and Temperance play in the massive backyard, allowing herself to think once again about their namesakes. Temperance Brennan had been her best friend for a long time and Seeley Booth was one of the best men she had ever known, before it had happened, that is.

Temperance and Booth had been dating for a month at the time when Booth decided to tell 'his Bones', that he loved her. Even though she tried to let him in she had just become too good at keeping people out, plus the ones who loved her always left. So when he told her that, she left before she got left again.

She put him out like the burnin' end of a midnight cigarette

After that Booth was never the same, he knew she had problems with opening up but she could not be that messed up. So he went home and drank all the alcohol he had in his house. He tore apart his house looking for more. He could still hear her voice telling him to leave and never speak to her again. Tears started to blur his vision again. He had told Bones he loved her and she told him to leave forever and he was devastated. He staggered to the nearest liquor store and bought all the hard liquor that he could carry.

She broke his heart he spent his whole life tryin' to forget

We watched him drink his pain away a little at a time

But he never could get drunk enough to get her off his mind

Until the night

Booth lost his job at the F.B.I for coming to work drunk one too many times, and after that Rebecca would not let him see Parker anymore either. He would sit in his house and drink, still trying to get the sound of her voice, her smell, her look, and her taste out of his mind. Occasionally Angela would come over and try to cheer him up, but nothing worked. He just went deeper and deeper into the hole. He had lost the love of his life, the job he loved (also associated with her) and all contact with his son and now he felt as though he had nothing to live for. One day Angela came over to again try and cheer him up. Walking into his bedroom she saw him lying on the bed limply with a piece of paper crumpled in his hand and she knew...

He put that bottle to his head and pulled the trigger

And finally drank away her memory

Life is short but this time it was bigger

Then the strength he had to get up off his knees

we found him with his face down in the pillow

with a note that said I'll love her till I die

And when we buried him beneath the willow

The angels sang a whiskey lullaby

Temperance did not go to the funeral, she never went to his grave, she just could not bring herself to go. It was her fault--she had told him to leave and he really did. At first she only drank on the weekends, but after awhile the guilt and pain just would not go away. Still she would go to work, identifying limbo cases, letting Zach deal with the F.B.I. She started sneaking liquor into her coffee mug and kept mints in her pocket at all times. She would not talk to anyone about anything other than work, including Angela.

The rumors flew but nobody knew how much she blamed herself

for years and years she tried to hide the whiskey on her breath

She finally drank her pain away a little at a time

But she never could get drunk enough to get him off her mind

Until the night

Even though Bren had stopped talking to her, Angela knew what Temperance was doing and every night like clock work she would go over to her apartment trying to get her to go out and meet new people, to open up again, but it never worked. Soon Bren got fired for damaging skeletons. After that she would sit at home all day and night drinking. Booth was dead, Parker had no father , the world was out one more good guy and it was all her fault. Tears streaming down her face, Temperance told herself the world just may be a safer place without her in it to take away the heroes. That night like all others Angela went to Bren's, this time with a plan to stay in and watch movies, but opening the door she was met with cold sullen air and she knew...

She put that bottle to her head and pulled the trigger

and finally drank away his memory

Life is short but this time it was bigger

Than the strength she had to get off her knees

we found her with her face down in the pillow

Clinging to his picture for dear life

We laid her next to him beneath the willow

While the angles sang a whiskey lullaby

Hodgins payed off the person who had bought the grave next to Booth's so they could bury Temperance there. They were laid under one of the few trees in the graveyard, an old willow. It was a peaceful place they both deserved. Now they were together side by side forever, if not in life then in death, Angela had told herself.

Angela was snapped out of her memories by the sound of fighting. She looked up to see her children standing in the middle of the yard, yelling at one another. A single tear slid down her cheek.

A sharp beep went through the air and Angela sat up frantically looking around the room, a cold sweat covered her whole body. "Babe, you okay?" Hodgins said rubbing his girlfriends back. "Yeah" she said, "bad dream." It was just a nightmare, she told herself, just a nightmare.
