Hello HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE! Lol I just thought I would say it randomly hope everyone is well. Sorry, I'm not good at updating quickly but I'm trying my best I've been really busy, it's the holidays! My rabbit died recently I'm okay enough to write now. This chapter starts just before the first one, then the end bit is just after where the first one left off. Just to clear things up Anyhow, I bet you want me to get on with it by now, so I will
Booth sat at the kitchen table across from his girlfriend. He was scooping up his cornflakes, and then spinning the spoon upside down. He listened to the cereal plop back in the bowl.
He hadn't been able to do anything this morning, ever since last night. He couldn't eat or sleep. Booth even considered calling in sick. He was sick anyways, sick of the horrible thoughts and images going through his head.
Booth could he have turned down the best opportunity he ever had. He really did love Bones, and you can't just get over the love of your life. He didn't just think that, did he? He had Hannah.
Bones thought she did not want to die with regrets. Now he was going to. The 'What if?' question would constantly plague his mind when he was with Hannah. This proved that Bones would be better for him. The love of his life. Oh lord, what had he done? She couldn't possibly forgive him now.
"Babe? Your phone is ringing." Hannah tried to get his attention.
Booth looked up at her. He blinked and yawned.
"Well, are you going to answer it?" Hannah asked.
"Nope."
"Hey, you okay?"
"Sorry honey, I'm tired. Worked late last night." Booth stood up and emptied his half full bowl in the bin. Hannah raised her eyebrow at him. "I'm not hungry." He explained as he shrugged.
"You know, it would be better to feed it to a dog." Hannah suggested.
"What, are you suggesting we get a pet?" Booth playfully mocked her as he stepped closer to her. He took her bowl and said "I hate dogs anyway".
"Hmm, do cats like cereal?" Hannah smiled at him.
"Not a cat person." Booth chuckled.
"You're just being difficult, aren't you?" She asked, but found it funny.
"Why are you pressuring me?" He asked.
"I'm not! I was just wondering. What more is there for us? Is this it?"
"Come on, do we have to do this now?"
"I guess not then." Hannah said, and started to wash up the dishes.
"Hey, sorry but that was my boss before. I got a text this time. There's a body found. Got a case."
Booth dialed Bones' number. She picked up on the first ring.
"Hey Bones how are you? Listen we've got a case. I'll come pick you up in 15?"
"Hello Booth. Yes that would be fine. You can fill me in on the details on the way there."
"Okay" Booth was about to say goodbye, but Bones cut in.
"Hey Booth? I wanted to talk to you. About last night."
Booth left the room to change, and so Hannah didn't have to hear.
"Okay, can't this wait? I mean I'm sorry; I really don't want to hurt you. I care about you. But I want see you face to face."
"Okay Booth, I understand. I just wanted to ask if we could not talk about it. It would attract unnecessary attention."
"Sure Bones that's fine. See you soon" he agreed.
Booth finished putting his suit on, then went into the lounge room. Hannah was sitting on the couch, watching some lame sitcom. He kissed her on the cheek.
"Talk to you later babe." He said and walked down the hall.
"I love you" she called out.
"You too" he called back.
He grabbed his phone and keys, and went to pick up Bones at the lab.
…¿?* *?¿…
Booth smelled freshly clipped grass and the fresh scent of rain. Despite all the puddles and mud, a few kids were playing football getting all dirty. He used to be like that. So carefree and energetic, a true football lover. He still was, but now the park caregiver led him, Bones and Cam through a few minutes walk of forestry.
All of a sudden the smell punched him in the face. Decomposing flesh. Oooh, goodie.
"This ID is faded, but probably a shrink or something by the looks of the faint logo on his card, but we can't be sure. It still needs forensic confirmation."
Oh great, Booth thought. Could be Sweets' species.
He watched as Brennan and Cam removed the rest of the fallen leaves and dirt from the victim's body. It looked gross. Some animals must have just found the body. Bits of flesh were ripped off his body, and some bone was revealed. It only just still looked human.
Brennan and cam got to work while Booth watched over them. Poor guy, he thought.
Yes, we have a case!
I won't be able to update for a week because I'm going to stay at my friend's. But if I get enough reviews then I might be able to update tomorrow morning ;)
Oh and just one thing, since the doctor in the photo is kind of in Brennan's perspective, all the Brennan POV chapters will be in first person, the others in third person hope you enjoy
