A/N: Booth better not forget Bones or I will seriously go and kick his but. I try not to think of the rumors going around that the show is ending. So please review and hope I forget. Also remember i'm twelve. Critisism is good.

Sticks and stones may break my Bones but words can never hurt her.

He doesn't know by her point of view that words have hurt her. More than anyone but Booth can see. " Who are you?" Those three simple words can cause more than a broken Bones. It can cause many emotions to take over and the walls that took so long to break down build up once again. To her, he had broken a promise on never to leave. He had left and now she didn't know what to do. All she wants is a hug only Booth can give her.

He has seen her cry. He has seen her angry. But, even as the confused Booth in the bed looks at her he can see her heart break. Split right down the middle. He wants to remember. Oh, how he wants to remember her.

He hears her but just barely, whispering,

"My name is Brennan and I am a forensic Anthropologist." She takes in a bit of air as if she is trying to hold back something. Even Booth knows its tears. " I identify bodies when know one else can," Another breath of air. "I work at the Jeffersonian institute with my team. I also have a liason with the FBI his name is Special Agent Seely Booth. We have been partners for four years. He is the only person I trust and my best friend." Her voice then dropped to an inaudible tone but Booth could see her mouth the words 'and I love him.'

Then the dam bursts and the tears come. Not just from her but also from the Booth in the bed. He remembers something. It's like a clip or a snippet in his head. They were in a barn. The suspect had kept calling her Joy. That was not her name. He knew that. He was standing behind her but came as close as possible when she broke down. He wrapped her in what she would call a 'guy hug'. He would call it and I'm here for you and always will be hug'. She kept repeating her name and status. He knew why. All he said was "I know who you are" Then everything came back at once in a big unhappy migrane.

Brennan on the outside watching this saw his eyes unfocus then his hands reached to rub his temples as he gritted his teeth. Brennan forgot about the fallen tears and the little speech. All she cared about was her friend and possible lovers' health. " Booth are you okay?" she asked with concern. " I'm fine Bones. Can you please hand me a glass of water?" Not noticing him calling her Bones, Brennan gave him a glass of water. Then it hit her like a wrecking ball. Breaking back down her walls again in the process.

" What did you just say?"

" I said your name." The old Seely Booth said after drinking his water. The headache was gone and he felt overjoyed knowing he remembered. He gave her his best charm smile.

Then his face got serious.

" You know that I did not intentionally break our promise. Bones I promised and will always promise never to leave you. No matter what happens, I'll stick by you. You know that right?" he asked

All she did was nod. It was the only way to keep the tears from coming.

He also saw this.

" Bones someone needs a hug and its not me." He flashed her a charm smile and opened his arms wide to receive a hug. What he didn't expect to happen was her bombarding him in a hug.

" Never leave right?" he heard her mumble against he shoulder.

" Never ever leave no matter what."

Then she kissed him.

Sticks and stones will break my Bones but I will always protect her.
