Hey! I got this idea from a writing prompt. I hope you enjoy!


I look down at the familiar face. The makeup job is impeccable, and I can barely make out my cuts and bruises. My hand reaches out and I try to touch my face but my hand passes through. Pulling back my hand touches my face feeling the cool track marks my tears are leaving behind. A cry behind me grabs my attention. I turn.

Angela.

She's dressed in all black and I can tell that she's cried all night… she may have been crying for days I'm not sure. She clutches Hodgins hand tightly. It looks almost painful. She walks towards me… the dead me and her cries grow louder until she reaches my coffin. Her hand shakes as she reaches for mine. I want to reach out… I want to comfort her, but I hear whispers behind me.

"She's gone too soon…"

"They had just begun.

"… kidnapped… couldn't save her."

"He blames himself…"

The whispers stop as the doors open and he walks in. The one I'm here for. He calls me back constantly.

Booth.

My Booth.

He calls me. His soul screams for mine and it's deafening. How had I believed souls didn't exist? How had I been so blind? I wasted so much time denying him.. denying myself. I don't want to leave him.. not yet… never.

I watch as he walks closer to me… the soul me, not the dead me. He stops just before he can pass through me. Dark circles ring his eyes and he looks like he hasn't slept since they took me. He fought for me so hard. He never gave up. I knew he would find me, but he was too late. I stayed… it wasn't long enough.

His eyes are dark, and I reach out to wipe away the tears that silently run down his cheeks. He shivers and breathes in just as my fingers meet his face. He smiles softly, solemnly. "Bones."

"I love you Booth." The tears roll down my cheek as a hand clamps down on my shoulder.

"It's time to go. You've stayed too long already." The voice is rough, and I try to pull away. Why hadn't I believed in an afterlife? There definitely was one.

"… but my family.. my… my Booth. I can't leave him."

"You're already gone to them… to him. I'm sorry."
