Chapter One
Temperance Brennan walked down the street. It was late at night, and the street lights were pretty dim. She was only seventeen, and her judgment was very clouded. She was on her way back home from her best friend Angela's house. She heard a car behind her, slowing down. She walked faster, trying not to turn around.
"Hey, Temperance," a voice called out, grabbing her arm. She whirled around and saw Jacob Young standing there, a big jock from her school.
"Go away, Jacob," she hissed, pulling her arm free. He grasped her around the waist and pulled her close to his chest.
"You know you love me," he growled in her ear, kissing her hungrily. She kicked him, trying to pull away.
"Jacob, let me go," she shrieked, as he tried to push her into his car. She heard more footsteps and kept fighting him, when he finally let go of her. She opened her eyes and saw Jacob's neck in the hands of the football superstar, Seeley Booth. He threw Jacob to the ground and kicked him in the gut. Jacob scrambled to his feet and crawled spastically into his car, driving away.
"Try something like that again and I'll run you over, got it jackass?" Seeley yelled after him, his warm brown eyes turning to Temperance, breathing heavily.
"Thank you," she whispered, and turned to leave.
"Let me walk you home, just in case?" He asked. His voice was so inviting, and she was scared, so she agreed. He took off his jacket and draped it around her gently.
"You're in my science class," she muttered, holding the jacket close to her body. He nodded.
"You and Jack Hodgins, the only two juniors in the class," he chuckled, but Temperance wasn't paying attention.
"You okay?" Seeley asked, standing in front of her.
"Just scared, about tomorrow, I mean," she said quietly.
"Don't be, if he bothers you again, tell me. I'll take care of it," he promised. They turned into Temperance's foster parents' house. They weren't home, as usual, but Russ was hanging out. He saw Temperance, and the bruises on her body. He rushed over to her, and the first person he saw was Seeley.
"Tempe, what happened? Did you hurt her, you son of a…" he started, but Temperance cut him off.
"I'm fine, Russ. He saved me from the guy who gave me these," she hissed.
"Oh, ok then thanks, but who did do this, Tempe? Give me his name," Russ demanded, shaking his little sister.
"No, Russ, you'll kill him!" Temperance protested. Seeley stepped forward.
"His name is Jacob Young and he lives in that big brick house two blocks down," Seeley told him. Russ broke through them and ran full speed down the road. Temperance turned towards Seeley.
"Thanks a lot. I can handle this on my own, Seeley. I don't need my brother's help," she assured him, handing him his jacket.
"Does Young do this to you a lot?" He asked as he was walking out the front door.
"Worse and worse each time. Goodnight, Seeley, see you tomorrow." She said, waving goodbye.
"Hey are you sure you want to be alone?" He asked, she nodded, and he left reluctantly. She sat on the living room couch and turned on the TV for a few minutes until the phone rang.
"Hello?"
"Ms. Brennan? Your brother is in the local jail."
"What for?" She knew.
"Assault and battery on Jacob Young. Charges are being pressed." Temperance sighed, holding the phone to her neck.
"I'll be right over."
