Oh yeah...and it's cliche :P
PS: Flashback will be like ***This***
xoxoxoxoxo
'Ange, you need to stop okay. Stop trying to convince me. It's been a year and a half, he isn't coming back."
"Bren, sweetie, YOU need to stop. YOU need to stop dwelling on the negetive and focus on the positive. I always get a very negetive vibe around you right now sweetie and I don't like it. You have to stay strong, for him if not for you. You have to have faith in him Bren, he will come back...ah, before you say anything, I'm going to continue, he's a fighter, and yes, it's been a long time I know, but he loved ou sweetie, he's going to come back to you."
"Angela please! Just stop...don't. I spent 6 whole months'dwelling on the positive', thinking that he would return. He told me...he said that his work would keep him away for 6 months tops...and it's...it's almost a year bar 2 months after he left, and he isn't here." She knew the tears were welling up in her eyes, but she didn't bother to sop them. Countless times since he had left had she cried over him. What was one more time? "So don't do it angela, Don't tell me that he's coming back. Don't give me false hope. I can't take any more of that."
"You loved him"
"I, Yeah I did Angela. And you know the worst part, I never told him. I had the changes, many of them but I was too much of a coward, and now he's probably dead. It's my fault you know, I made a mistake."
"Bren, that's not true. He isn't dead...and none of this is your fault."
"It is, he had nothing to keep him from going on the mission. If I'd only told him, or accepted him, he'd be wouldn't have had to leave."
"You can't blame yourself"
"But I do..." She smiled sadly and turned away from Angela and into her office.
It had been 2 months since her conversation and still she dweled over it in her head. There was no point denying t, she had cried countless more times for Booth, his absense and what she missed out on. 'You can't blame yourself'. But she did, she still did. The night before he had left. He had given her yet another chance to be with him, to keep him from going, but she pushed him away...again.
*** In her room about to climb into bed she heard a knock at the door. 11:45 at night, she smiled to herself, who else would it be? It was him, she let him in and followed him into the kitchen. He looked Gaunt and tired, very different from earlier on that day. Pouring him a drink she looked at him curiously and expectantly. When he didn't bother to say anything she spoke up.
"somethings wrong."
He let out a bitter laugh "You think?"
She must have looked hurt, as his face softened straight away. "I'm sorry. I'm just mad I guess, Not at you. It's...I'm leaving."
His words stunned her into silence, and he must have known what she was thinking. She was assuming the worst.
"It's nothing ou've done, i promise. It's just, an underover job."
"How long?"
"6 months, tops."
"6 months, Booth that's a long time. Is it dangerous?"
"Probably. But it's my job Bones, there is nothing I can do about it. Nothing can stop me from going."
"yes there is, Government have exceptions. Like a spouse, or..."
"I don't apply to any of those. I'm not married, or sick. I'm not in a committed relationship..."
"Oh."
There was a small silence before he spoke up again.
"I don't want to go..."
"I don't want you too..."
He took in a deep breath, and she knew what he was going to say.
"Then help me. I don't have to...listen Bones, i have to ask again. Please, this is my only chance. Give US a try...I can't leave, and, I love you."
She could see the sadness in his eyes, he was begging her. But she still wasn't ready.
"Please Booth, don't do this to me again. PLease."
"Bones..." He voice cracked, she hated what she was doing to him.
"I can't Booth, I just, I'm not ready. I can't."
She hadn't noticed how close he had gotten until he started to step away. She reached for his hand but he was adament for no contact. He retreated rapidly towards the door and was soon stood in the hallway, looking small and defeated.
"I guess I'm going then. I'll see you, sometime." Neither could hide their tears. She had never seen him so sad.
"Stay safe, please. I'll miss you Booth"
"Yeah." ****
Yeah. That was all he had said before he left. No hug, not even a goodbye, and now he was gone. He wasn't coming back.
Now, one year and 6 months later, she was still here. Doing the same nightly rountine, stay in the lab till 3, go home grab an hours sleep, shower and head back to the lab. She missed her old routine. Where she would stay in the lab as late as possible, until he came for her. He always came for her, always. But not anymore.
So at 5:30 in the evening, the lab was surprisingly empty, she found herself waiting for the time when the clock would strike 6:00, knowing he would never come. Shutting her laptop screen, she sat, with her chin propped up with one hand, staring at her watch.
6:00...6:05...6:14...another waste of time. Yet she still sat. It wasn't till the time reached seven that she pulled herself together and began to gather her files to take down to limbo. As she stood up, she heard it.
Footsteps. Light, but definately a man, she didn't know how she knew this but she recognised the rhythm in the steps. No, she had to stop trying to convince herself. It would ony be harder. But she had to go take a look.
Cautiously stepping out of her office she looked around, nothing. Just in her mind, it had to be, there was nobody th...
"Bones..." Whipping around fast she turned to see a figure emerging from around the corner.
"Booth?"
"Yeah..." he stood rooted to the spot, as did she. He fiddled with his suit as he waited for her to say something, do something."
Her head was spinning, the whole lab was spinning. Burying her face in her hands, she chocked out "I'm going crazy."
"I am, I'm going craxy, your not her, Oh god." Turning around fast she strode back into her office, and lowered herself onto the couch.
She felt footsteps approaching her. Now her hallucinatins were Follwing her?
"Bones. Youre not going crazy. I promise. I'm here." She turned to look at him. He pinched his own cheek "see, I'm real" He smiled at her softly and she couldn't help but smile back.
As he came down to sit beside her, he took her hand and placed the other on her cheek. "I'm here Bones, I'm sorry...I was away for a long time, I just..."
She silenced him "Not now Booth, I don't want an explanation now. I'm just trying to get used to the fact that your here. I don't want to ruin this moment." She took a deep breath. "Don't ever leave me again."
He pulled her closer to him and wrapped his arms around her, one had tangling in the back of her hair. "I promise you Bones, I'm not going anywhere. I'll never leave you again."
