Disclaimer: I own nothing. Not the characters, not the song. Nothing but the plot.

Booth kissed his latest girlfriend, Ava, who was lying on the bed beside him. He grinned and started kissing down her neck.

She laughed. "Seeley, I've gotta go. My roommate will freak if I wait much longer."

He kissed her again, pretending she was someone else. He closed his eyes and Lily's dark brown hair turned to Auburn curls. Her tan skin turned lighter, blue gray eyes replacing brown ones.

"Stay." He said.

"Well, I suppose I can stay for just a little while longer.." She said.

1 Hour later

"I'm gonna hop in the shower then take off." She said. Booth nodded. Just then, his cell phone rang.

Honey why you calling me so late?
It's kinda hard to talk right now.

"Hey Bones, what's up?" He greeted.

"Booth." She said. It was obvious she'd been crying. Booth just didn't know why.

Honey why are you crying? Is everything okay?
I gotta whisper 'cause I can't be too loud

"Bones, what's wrong?" He asked. "Is everything okay?"

"It's… It's nothing Booth. Just forget it." She said.

"No Bones, please tell me."

"Why are you whispering?" She asked, changing the subject.

"Oh, um.. My uh, girlfriend is over." He said.

Well, my girl's in the next room
Sometimes I wish she was you

"Oh. I'm sorry Booth, I interrupted you. I'll just go…"

""No Bones, please don't leave. I… she's leaving anyways." He said.

"Well, okay."

I guess we never really moved on
It's really good to hear your voice say my name
It sounds so sweet

"Bones, what's going on? Why won't you tell me?"

"Booth…"She began.

Coming from the lips of an angel
Hearing those words it makes me weak
And I never wanna say goodbye
But girl you make it hard to be faithful
With the lips of an angel

"Yes?" He asked.

"Booth." She began again. "I… I'm scared." She started crying.

"Shh… Bones, it's gonna be okay. It's gonna be fine." He heard the water from the shower still and was reminded he had to keep quiet.

It's funny that you're calling me tonight,
And, yes, I've dreamt of you too,
And does he know you're talking to me?
Will it start a fight?
No I don't think she has a clue.

"Wanna talk about it?" He asked.

"It… It's Sully." Booth went stiff. Brennan and Sully had recently gotten back together.

"What about him? Did he hurt you?"

"No we… we just had an argument. He said that… I had feelings for you." She sighed and I knew that there was more to be said. "I… he kissed me and, I kinda, well, said your name."

His eyes widened. They did even more so when she said "I, well, had a dream about you." She said.

"Bones, I… I've dreamt of you too. Nearly every night." He said.

"Really?"

"Yeah." He said. "Bones, I… ever since I can remember, I've loved you.

"I love you too." She said. Suddenly he heard a crash.

"You bitch!" A familiar voice yelled. "He can't have you! If I can't have you, no one can!" He heard a gun shot, and a scream. Then silence.

And I never wanna say goodbye
But girl you make it hard to be faithful
With the lips of an angel

"Bones?! Bones!?"

Sully answered. "Tempe isn't here anymore. You've killed your own partner." Then the line went dead.

Booth looked up to see the sad eyes of Ava. He dropped the phone, stunned. His partner, best friend, love, was dead.

"Maybe I should go." She said, and calmly walked out. Booth just sat there in shock.

Honey why you calling me so late?
