a/n: I know how disappointed everyone was when I stopped…I didn't think anyone would read this actually. But a thank you is in order for those of you who reviewed, favorited, or even just read my story

Bones just stood there, hugging Booth tightly. 'What am I doing?' she thought to herself. This wasn't like her; she couldn't just let him…

What was it that is holding me back…myself? They only thing holding my back from him is myself.

Booth released her a little but she wouldn't pull away, not this time… she thought.

He put his jacket on her shoulders.

"We should go inside." He said, breaking the sweet silence. She knew that everyone always said 'forever.' They never meant it though. Everyone she ever loved always left her. She had an irrational feeling (that mind you she didn't believe in) that Booth was different, he would never hurt her, she knew that for a fact.

When they get inside, he led her to the couch in the lobby.

"Bones, I'm sorry..." he started but she cut him off.

"It's not that, it's just... you disserve someone more…" it was his turn to cut her off.

"More what… you're perfect."

"Nobody's perfect, that's an irrational thought." Bones uttered. 'Wasn't I just trying to talk myself into not doing this, just say YES.' Her mind was screaming.

Booth squinted at her, she was impossible.

"Why can't you just admit it?" He mumbled.

"Admit what?"

"That you fell the same way and you're just afraid of commitment." Booth was getting angry.

"I can't!" she shot back sadly.

"bones, don't you get it…" he put his arm around her shoulders she absent – mindedly grabbed his hand, once she realized it, she decided not to let go.

"Booth, I do get it. I'm just not…" she couldn't finish that sentence because…she didn't mean it. She WAS in love with him, she DID trust him, She KNEW he was everything to her.

"Your not what?" he didn't understand why she was being so difficult, but he would never talk her into feeling something she didn't.

Bones thought that if she let her guard down she would get hurt. The problem was that she knew that Booth was her best friend, (next to Angela) and would never, EVER try to hurt her. She was confused.

CLIFF HANGER

A/n: how was it? R&R pleeeeease. And, I do not own bones, or booth… blah blah blah…(because if I did, booth and bones would be together and they… never mind)
