A/N: Alright, well, I was writing a chaptered Bones fic, but then I got an idea for something else, so I wrote it. It's a short, one-shot kinda thing, using assorted song lyrics. It takes place during Aliens in a Spaceship. The whole story line in which the story revolves is not mine, nor are the characters… but I tried to make it my own by explaining the situation with as much emotion as I could, and throwing in song lyrics that I found appropriate. They happen to all be from Avril Lavigne songs, because I love all her lyrics.
Songs: Things I'll Never Say, Naked, Keep Holding On, I'm With You, I Will Be, Innocence.
Hope you like it! Reviews make me happy.
I'm tugging at my hair, I'm pulling at my clothes
He pounded on the screen, taking out his frustration on everything… anything. As if banging things around could give him answers. With every bang, he became more and more scared that Brennan's car would be her grave.
I try to keep my cool, I know it shows.
He pressured the squints, hoping for anything. Any lead he could get would be sufficient enough.
I'm staring at my feet. My cheeks are turning red. I'm searching for the words inside my head.
He stared at the secret message on the screen. He felt worthless. Brennan and Hodgins had found a way to communicate, he had to find them.
'Cause I'm feeling nervous, trying to be so perfect, cause I know she's worth it..
She's worth it.
Suddenly he saw Zach's eyes light up and watched him run to the computer. He rambled on and on, but to Booth, his words had no meaning. It was then that Booth heard Angela.. "It means he knows where they are." That was all Booth needed to hear. Within moments, Booth bolted for his car. Bewildered, everyone followed.
The walls just disappeared. Nothing to surround me or keep me from my fears.
Booth stared into the vast area of land that surrounded him. He tried to search his mind for the logical thing to do next… but then he saw it. A puff of smoke. A bit of hope.
So far away. I wish you were here. Before it's too late, this could all disappear.
Keep holding on, stay strong. I'm here for you.
He locked his eyes on the area, determined not to lose it. He ran down the hill like he never ran before; the adrenaline building, the heat rising in his cheeks. He reached his destination and began to dig. Dirt flew everywhere and Booth dug and dug, looking for any sign of life beneath the earth.
Take me by the hand, take me somewhere new. I'm with you.
Suddenly he felt her hand against his. He pictured her soft ivory skin and her piercing blue eyes. He felt the warmth in her hands. She was alive. He pulled her out by her hand and felt her gradually slide out of her potential resting place. "Get Hodgins," she whispered.
Now I can breathe 'cause you're here with me, and if I let you down I'll turn it all around ,
'cause I would never let you go.
Their eyes were locked on each other, both cherishing this moment together, secretly afraid that they almost both lost each other today. They laughed away the tragic moment. There was no other option. Their laughter prolonged their happy ending, they could pretend nothing had been wrong. With every smile, they were given yet another reason to hide their feelings for each other, because after all, they were just partners.
I found a place, not a single tear. I belong. I'm so happy here. I wouldn't change a thing, this is the best feeling.
