This is an idea I had; I'd like to know if anyone is interested so I can continue it.

I'm in the same place, the same street, the same bar. The same you used to love. Booth was deep in thought as the barman came and asked, "Where's the blue eyed doctor? It's strange that you're not with her. What happened?" the barman could see in the agent's face that he missed her. It was like he had a big sing on his forehead that read, have you seen her?

"She doesn't even answer the phone anymore. My hope lies on a string." Booth took a sip from the drink he was given. "I never knew I could loose myself without her." Because of all of a sudden she didn't love me. Booth thought. "Why did my life become empty?" The barman just stared because he didn't know what to say. "No one answers my questions because I have nothing without her. She left." Booth said in a whisper, but the barman heard. "The perfume of her hair, murmur of her silences, her great smile, and the sweet honey I tasted on her lips left. She left and my love was covered by ice. She left, she left." Booth took another sip of his drink. "I'd go to jail with her. A whole lifetime is not enough without her. In her storm she destroyed everything and broke into little pieces all those dreams I constructed. My life left with her and I don't know why. I ask god to not forget about me, although I know between me and her there are only black clouds. I will beg her, I will look for her, and I will find her. Even if I have to look in a million
stars. In this dark life without her she's become the center and the end of my universe. If love has a limit, I would cross it for her. I feel her next to me all the time. I will love her like I could have the first time. That one kiss from her was a whole lifetime." Booth's words had turned into whispers for himself and the barman poured him another drink before leaving Booth by himself.

Angela walked into the Founding Fathers. She was going to meet with Hodgins for a drink and then head home or go to a club. They still weren't sure. She scanned the place for him, but instead found Booth slumped on a bar stool. Poor Booth. He's had it bad since Brennan left. Sighing Angela walked to sit next to the agent to try to cheer him up a bit.

"Hey, Booth." She said softly placing a hand on his right arm when she sat next to him.

"Hey, Angela." Booth looked at her and after a few minutes he continued.

"Go tell her that I'm here suffering and that I can't take it anymore. You know that I love her, please tell her that my heart and soul ache for her. You are her friend and know about my dreams, please tell her that my world is ending. Please, can't you see that I'm dying?" His voice was low, but Angela paid close attention. "That without her I'm nothing. Tell her that my life is no life if she's not here and that I can't stand this awful loneliness. That I find her in every dream and that I don't sleep anymore. That if I look at the mirror all I see is her reflection. That if I pronounce her name, I don't want to say anything else. That her laughter is always with me, and I'm almost going crazy. Tell her that here is the man that loves her, and that she'll always be the owner of my life. That I can't deal with the wounds alone anymore. Call her and tell her that I'm sorry if I caused her pain. Tell her to come back, to say that she could still love me. That I'm dying for not being able to see her." Booth looked torn and tired.

Angela's heart broke for both of her friends. Booth was here torn up and Brennan was away at a dig not much better than him. Booth pulled out a few bills and left them by his drink. Before leaving he turned and said, "Please tell her."

"Hey, sorry." Hodgins kissed Angela as he sat where Booth had sat a few minutes earlier. "Traffic was a nightmare."

"It's okay." Hodgins took her face in his hands and asked her what was wrong. "I bumped into Booth. The poor guy is torn and I know Brennan is not any better. He asked me to tell her to come back." Angela buried her head in the crook of Hodgin's neck.

"Yeah, sucks. Those two need to talk. It's insane how they are both suffering if they love each other." He ran a soothing hand through his girlfriend's hair.

-------------------

The sun would rise in a few hours and Brennan had just returned to her tent. She was at a camp sight near the Nile River in Egypt examining ancient remains. After a month of arduous work she would be free to go back home in a few days. Brennan hooked up to the internet to check her email. She always checked her messages during the night because it was more accessible for her to do so during that time.

She scrolled through the new messages and stared at the one that came from Booth. She knew she shouldn't have left without an explanation. But truth was she panicked when he confessed his feelings. They were having a good time and when he blurted those three little words her heart began to beat faster. He didn't say it an 'atta girl' kinda way and she could see the sincerity in his eyes. She was scared and the next morning jumped on a plane and ran away. She needed time to think and so far she hadn't settled any feelings. She knew she loved him, but she was scared.

She skipped his message and instead read the one she received from Angela.

Sweetie, I hope you're okay. We all miss you. Come back soon. We really need to talk and you should talk with Booth too. He's a mess without you. I swear that man can't function without you. I saw him at the Founding Fathers and he asked me to tell you to come back.

Take care and come back soon.

Ange.

Brennan hit the reply button and wrote:

Thanks for your concern. I'll be back soon. Talk to you later.

Brennan.

Brennan chewed on her bottom lip as she opened Booth's message.

Hey, Bones.

Please come back. Things are not the same for me without you. Let's talk about it.

Booth.

She smiled at the short message and thought about how hard it must have been for him to tell her so much in such a short message. She decided it was time to come clean too and allow her fears to fade away. She hit the reply button.


Please review and let me know if anyone is interested in the continuation of the story.

(I know this chapter was a little sad, but the story won't be this emotional I promise.)
