A/N: So... I decided to have a break from Dead Obsession, so I tried to do another one to ease my mind, but I didn't give up on the other one. This one is a result of a dream I had.
Thanks to bones junkie4life for the title of the story, fortune kookie 91 and mag31 for the ideas and saragillie for editing it!! I hope you'll like it!!
Brennan was in her office. She was thinking about how drastically her life changed just because she decided that she would like to have a life with that man.
They had known each other for quite some time, but since they met, Brennan knew that something sparkled between them. They'd been dating for some months and she was happy with him. He was nice, handsome, and most importantly, cared a lot about her.
At first when he asked her to move in with him, she was afraid.She didn't know if she was ready to trust someone that intimately yet. She changed her mind, however, when Angela explained that he only wanted to make her happy and if she didn't want to go, he wouldn't mind because he loved her regardless of her decision. She decided to move in. She was always trying to keep the people she loved and who loved her away, because she was afraid. However, she knew that with him it would be different, because he'd never leave her.
She noticed that when they walked together on the streets, the other women looked at them, actually her, jealously. She always smiled at that.
However, there was someone else. Someone she cared a lot about too. Someone she wasn't sure that liked her as much as she liked him. That was why she accepted the invitation to live with John.
She hadn't talk to her "someone else" in the last few weeks. He had been avoiding her. She heard rumors that he was thinking of leaving the country, but she didn't know why. It wasn't as if he had ever hinted to her that he was interested in being anything but friends with her.
Since she started dating John, they haven't talked or seen each other as much as they did before. They didn't eat lunch or dinner together, because she had them with John now.
She thought about calling him, but what would she say? "I'm sorry that I haven't spent that much time with you because I've been spending it with my boyfriend"? No, she couldn't do that; she should just leave their relationship alone for a while.
John had invited her to a special dinner today and requested that she wear a new dress. She decided to ask Angela for help.
She went to Angela's office, but she overheard Angela talking to someone and stopped.
"Come on! This is your last opportunity. You can't just let it go!"she heard Angela saying. But to whom was she talking?
"I won't Angela." she heard Booth's voice. She knew that she shouldn't be hearing the conversation, but she needed to know what was going on. "She's happy now. He's the perfect guy! I have nothing better than he does. I'm just her partner. Do you think she'd choose her partner above her boyfriend? If she's happy, I won't be the one ruining her happiness!"
Angela replied, "Booth, she's happy, yes, but she was like that with Sully too and she decided to stay here instead of going with him."
"This is not like Sully. She's so much better now than then. And if Sully had waited to leave, she might have gone with him."
"She stayed because of you, Booth. And she would stay even if he asked her 5 years later."
"I'm sorry, Angela, but there's nothing I can do. I won't fight anymore. She's happy with him. I lost her forever. There's no way we're going to be more than partners and friends. I won't wait forever for her to break up with the guy so I can use my 'last chance' as you say."
She didn't need to hear anything more. She ran to her office, locked the door and she sat on her couch crying. She didn't want him to suffer for her, but part of her wanted him to wait for her. She could've said something sooner. She should've said something sooner. If she had known that her feelings were reciprocated, she would've given it a try. But now was too late. He said that he wouldn't wait anymore and she knew it was her fault. The one chance for her to be really happy was gone.
'I shouldn't be thinking that! I have a boyfriend that loves me. But do I love him back? Not love. I don't love him, but I care a lot about him and that's enough. Will it be enough to keep this relationship?' she shook her head trying to get rid of those thoughts 'Of course it will! And tonight I'll have dinner with my boyfriend, so I have to forget all of this'
She stood up and wiped her tears and she went to Angela's office, as soon as she saw Booth leaving the Jeffersonian.
So? Should I continue or forget about it? Tell me what you thought of it!! And what you think that will happen!!
