Angela walked into the Medico-Lab at the Jeffersonian. All was dark and quiet, everybody had gone home relived to hear that Dr. Hodgins and Dr. Brennan were now okay, everybody except Jack Hodgins.
"I went to visit you at the hospital. I brought you this." Angela held up a brown teddy bear that was holding a rose.
"They let me go." Jack said in a cold way. Angela could tell he was still angery with her.
"No they didn't. You left without being discharged; you stole crutches which I had to pay for." She said in return.
"I can't sleep Angela."
"I thought they gave you something for that?"
"No I mean I'm afraid; afraid that if I close my eyes when I wake up I'll be back in that car buried alive running out of air." Jack couldn't believe he was crying like this in front of the woman he very might be in love with.
"Then maybe you should come home with me", she said in return not believing she had been brave enough to say what she was thinking aloud.
"What?" Jack said not believing his ears.
"When you wake up I'll be there."
They looked deep in each other's eyes finding some comfort but knowing this was going to be a long night for the both of them.
"Come on let's get out of here" said Angela.
Jack closed everything he was working on and bent over to pick up his crutches. Angela helped him make his way to the front doors of the Jeffersonian where she had parked her car, hoping that she could get Jack to go home, but now had a guest spending the night. Jack looked fearfully at Angela's SUV but relaxed a little as he felt the gentle squeeze of Angela's hand reassuring him that this was going to be a safe ride.
Not much was said on the way home but it didn't take long for the pair to get home considering the time of day. Angela pulled into her designated parking spot in front of a small apartment complex that looked more like a big house. Jack smiled inward knowing that Angela's whole apartment was probably the size of one bedroom in his mansion, but they both knew that and it was okay. Jack thought he would rather have a small apartment than the mansion his parents had left him. Even though he knew, he would never find it in his heart to sell the damn place.
His thoughts were interrupted as Angela attempted to get him inside.
"Earth to Jack, come on lets get you inside you must be feeling exhausted", she said as she turned grabbing his belongings and placing them by the table next to the door.
"Thanks Ange, for letting me stay here", he said giving her a sad half smile.
She shot him a small nervous smile. Jack had never before been in her apartment and she didn't know what to think.
"Here's the living room", she said as she swept her arm around she main area they were in. "Kitchen is to the left", she said as she walked toward the back of the "living room". "Bathroom's to the right and my bedroom's to the left."
"Sorry I don't have a guest bedroom but you can have my bed and I will take the fold out bed in my sofa."
"Don't be ridiculous Ange, you're already letting me stay in your house I don't need your bed too."
"No, no it's nothing besides you'll be more comfortable in the bed anyway...plus you need your rest."
"So do you", he said back, he could tell she had been recently crying and was pretty sure it had to do with him and Bren.
Angela wasn't sure how to continue down this path so she decided to change the subject. "Come on lets get you in bed."
Jack followed her as she entered the room on the left seeing the mixing colors of ocean blue and maroon that made up the color scheme of her room.
