Disclaimer: I own nothing except the words penned in "the letter".
"Dr. Brennan, is there someone you'd like to say goodbye to?" Hodgins handed me the piece of paper.
I glanced at him for a few minutes, slowly turning my eyes to a pen and taking it into my hand. Using my book I started to write my letter to someone I loved very much. He may never see this, and he may never hear me tell him but it was as much a release as anything.
Booth,
We didn't give up. We tried hard to stay alive but sometimes trying isn't enough. If you're reading this I'm dead and you've found us. I couldn't have asked for a better partner the day you were assigned to me. I was not angry that we were paired together but trying desperately to hide my feelings from you. I knew that day to day work together would cause me to have to look deeper into our relationship. This was something I wanted to advoid. Sure we were friends when we met but I always looked at you differently than a friend should. Saving me from the serial killer when I was about to die put a pin into those plans to hide my feelings. How could I refuse you when you looked me in the eye and held not just pain but something deeper? There was something that I have never understood; a love that goes behind friendship. Maybe I really do have some faith. I know I have faith that you'll get through what's happened to me and Hodgins. We were together so at least I didn't die alone. Booth there's only thing I knew at the end. I realized that I love you. I wish I could tell you but I can't. I'm so sorry we will never get to discover this in a different relationship setting. Hodgins loved Angela, did you know that? I think that he wanted to marry her. Take care of her for me and for Hodgins. Take care of Zack don't let him fool you into thinking that he's only brains. Underneath that he is a sweet person, just like my little brother. He's going to need someone to look up to now and to take care of him. Cam and I were just starting to get along better, but I guess we weren't meant to be friends. She has a nice personality and I think that you two will get along well. I guess I just want to say goodbye.
Love Always
Brennan
I put the pen down, folded the letter and stuck it in my pocket. I knew that Angela could piece it back together if need be. As Hodgins and I prepared to dentate it we exchanged our own farewells to each other. I couldn't believe that our time was about to run out. Those things that I said I'd never want, marriage, children all of a sudden I wanted them.
"Ready?" Hodgins asked as their eyes connected again. Then glancing down at the two wires, he connected them.
The End
