I decided to do a songfic and the song I used was "Hurt" by Christina Aguilera. This songfic is set between "The Wannabe in the Weeds" and before she found out his death was fake in the episode "The Pain in the Heart." This is my take on Brennen's thoughts when she returned home after Booth took the bullet for her. This is from her POV and I barely have attempted this so please be nice.

Feedback, please! The lyrics are in bold.


Seems like it was yesterday when I saw your face

You told me how proud you were but I walked away

If only I knew, what I know today

Ooh, ooh

I just couldn't stand being at that place. Seeing the paramedics rush Booth's lifeless body out on a gurney, covered by a blanket. I couldn't stand seeing Angela burst into the tears after what happened. I couldn't stand seeing the pool of blood where Booth had been on the floor, hanging on to me with every bit of ounce of strength he could muster. His eyes going dead, unseeing, but yet so full of fear. I could feel him fading away underneath my fingertips.

I would hold you in my arms

I would take the pain away

Thank you for all you've done

Forgive all your mistakes

I wanted to tell him that I was stupid in love with him. But all I could do was scream his name. Maybe if I did he might have held on a little longer. Stupid me. It's too late to do anything about it now. The thought brings tears to my eyes as I crawl into bed and cry my eyes out. He wa really gone.

There's nothing I wouldn't do

To hear your voice again

Sometimes I wanna call you

But I know you won't be there

To hear the paramedic say, "sorry there is nothing we can do for him. He's gone," it just shocked me back into reality. It made me go numb and I hated that feeling. I want him to walk into the door and say that it was just all a dream. Please, someone pinch me. Wake me up from this nightmare. There is nothing to wake me up. Those two last words rang in my ears and never ceased. He's gone. For good.
