Chapter 1

It was the 15th time he'd dialed the number in 3 days, she still wouldn't answer the phone to him, or open her door to him. He'd screwed up and he knew it, he wanted to fix it but he didn't know how.

He'd broken her trust for the second time now, and he hated himself for it. He looked at the picture of him and her, it was taken at the Jeffersonian annual party by her best friend Angela.

He let it ring until it went to her voice mail, just to hear her voice. He never left a message, he'd listen to the message before the beep then hung up. He got up and went to the fridge and grabbed another beer. It was his fourth one in a row and he was starting to feel a little drunk.

He heard a knock on his door, he got up and stumbled to answer it. Hoping and maybe even praying that it would be her. But when he opened the door it wasn't. it was Angela, coming to check on him again.

"Booth, you look like crap. Have you talked to her lately?" Angela asked as he let her in.

He shock his head no. Angela sighed and set the Chinese food on the table. He looked at her with tired eyes.

"Booth, you and I both know that she needs time to think. However, so do you. Time to clean up and we'll both head over to her place. I know she's locked herself up in her place as well. So go clean up, and we'll head over there after we eat okay?" Angela said, in a motherly tone.

"I let her down, Angela" He said, not moving from the couch. "I don't know how to fix this…" He said, running his left hand down his face. His right hand held the newly opened beer. Angela eyed the beer for a moment then grabbed it out of his hand and went to the kitchen to pour it down the drain.

"I know how you two can fix this. You two can start acting like two adults that love each other with everything you have!" Angela shouted at him, Making him flinch. He just nodded his head okay and went to the bathroom to wash up.

Brennan heard the phone ring for the 15th time in 3 days, he always let it go to voice mail but never left a message. She was curled up in bed, with a glass of red wine.

He'd screwed up, she wanted to talk to him so bad, but after what he'd done there was no way she could ever look at him. Let alone kiss him. She loved him with everything she had in her. She'd given him her heart, if that was even possible to do.

She knew it was a minor mistake he'd made, a lapse in judgment. But she still hated him for it. He was the one man she'd trusted fully, the only man she could ever see herself married to.

But, then she caught him in bed with that… that other woman. What could she do, but leave?

She heard a knock at the door, but ignored it. She figured it was just Angela checking up on her.

"Sweetie! Open the door!" She heard her best friend call through the door. She shock her head, Angela always was pushy at times. After a moment Brennan realize Angela wasn't going to leave until she opened up the door, she climbed out of bed with her glass of wine and went to the door.

"Angela what do you want?" She asked unlocking the door. Before Angela could answer Brennan opened the door, to find Booth standing there with Angela.

"What is he doing here?" Brennan asked coldly. Angela sighed, she really was getting sick of this.

"Brennan if you shut that door, I promise you I will come down on both of you so hard you wont even know which end us up" Angela said, pushing the door open. Booth looked at Brennan, who looked at him.

"Now, Booth… Be a man! Brennan you listen to him." She said, turning to leave. "I'll be outside in the car waiting, if you don't come out of here within the next 10 minutes of me leaving for the car… then, I'll just assume that you two worked everything out" with that Angela walked away from the couple.
