A/N: Hello again everyone, after such a lovely response to my last fic, I felt compeled to start a new one. This is going to be a collection of short chapters based on common sayings. Hope you enjoy :) If you have an idea for a saying you want me to try, suggest it to me in a review
Disclaimer: I own my ps3, but not Bones sadly.
They say you don't notice some things until they are gone. Like the street lamp that goes out while you walk underneath it. You unconsciously are aware of its presence, but consciously you don't until it's gone out.
This is how world renowned forensic anthropologist and bestselling author, Dr Temperance Brennan found herself now. For three years, Special Agent Seeley Booth had been by her side. Making her smile when she was sad, reassuring her when she anxious, feel when she was rational, cry when he was gone.
Only now did she realize just how much she had come to rely on him. He had been her rock, a rock which, she constantly told herself that she didn't need.
Pam Nunan had aimed her gun at Brennan, and Booth, in all his wisdom, had jumped in the way. She kept telling herself that she wasn't worth that kind of sacrifice, Booth had a family to come home to, she didn't, but then she would hear his voice, telling her that she was worth every sacrifice he ever made for her.
Even after he had left, he was still arguing with her. Typical.
