"Shes what?" Booth asked as he felt like someone knocked the wind out of him.
"Shes getting married, to Matt."
"That was her important news?"
"Yea Booth, but…"
"But what?"
"I don't know. You need to talk to her."
"If I try to talk her out of this marriage, she will hate me."
"I didn't say talk her out of the marriage. I just said talk to her. Tell her you miss her. Ask her to spend more time with you. I don't know. But just know, that…I cant help you anymore with her."
"Why? What happened?"
"It's a long story. But we're not friends anymore."
"What the hell Angela? Tell me what happened."
"I, uh, I have to go. Talk to you later Booth."
Before Booth could speak, the call was ended.
"I have to talk to Bones." Booth thought to himself.

"I'm sorry Tempe. I didn't know this engagement was going to ruin your friendship."
"No, no. Its fine. If she cant be happy that I found someone to…"
She heard her phone ringing.
"Just a second." She told Matt.
"Brennan."
"Bo, Brennan. Its me Booth."
She sighed. "Hi Booth."
"I know we haven't talked in a while, but I really need to speak to you. Can you meet me somewhere?"
"Where do you have in mind?"
"Um, the Founding Fathers."
She thought about it for a second, then decided it was necessary to have a conversation with him.
"Sure. See you in 10 minutes."
"Thanks Bones…I mean.."
"It's fine. See you in 10."
"Okay."
She closed her cell phone.
"Booth uh, needs to talk to me. I told him I would meet him at the Founding Fathers."
He sighed.
"It's only to talk. I promise I won't be too long."
"Fine. Are you going to tell him?"
"About the engagement? I guess I should. He deserves that much."
"If he say's anything to you, you let me know ok?"
"Ok. See you later." She said, leaning in to kiss him.
"Love you." he said as she walked out of the diner.

Brennan walked into the Founding Fathers and saw Booth sitting at the table they always used to claim as theirs. She took a deep breath and walked over to him.
"Hey Booth."
"Hey Bones." He said, a little to happily.
"What do we need to talk about?"
"Let's start off with why you and Angela are no longer friends."
"She told you?" she asked, sighing.
"Yeah. She wouldn't tell me why though."
"I'm getting married."
"I heard."
"No, I mean, that's why shes mad, because I'm getting married."
"But I thought she liked Michael."
"Its Matthew. And, I thought she did to."
An awkward silence fell upon them. Booth put his head down.
"What happened to us?" he mumbled.
"Pardon?"
He lifted his head.
"What happened to us? We used to do everything together. Now we barely speak. And when we do, it's awkward."
"Well its probably because I have a new boyfriend."
"But why cant we talk? Why cant we have lunch anymore? Or have drinks after a case? Or…"
Booth trailed off. Only her and Matt knew the real reason why her and Booth were no longer best friends. She was now staring in another direction, and Booth instantly spotted the ignorance.
"Bones, are you listening?"
"Oh, yeah, sorry."
"See what I mean? We cant even hold a conversation anymore. I don't want to say this, but I think Matt told you not to be friends with me."
"What! That's preposterous! How could you say that?"
"Well then tell me, why don't we do anything anymore? Why aren't we best friends anymore? Why don't we talk to each other and be there for one another? Just because you have a fiancée now, doesn't mean shit Brennan!"
"Don't. Even. Blame this on Matt! You have some nerve. I cant believe your are actually doing this. Don't you want me to be happy? Don't you want me to believe in love? You're the one that convinced me that love exists, that it wasn't some chemical in the brain. You're the one that taught me to trust people and let other people in."
"I wanted you to love me! I wanted you to trust me and let me in! God Brennan, I gave you so many hints to how much I wanted to be with you and how much I loved you, but, you never picked up on them. I'm the one who has watched you date other guys. I'm the one that cant sleep or eat because all I think about is you having sex with someone else. I'm the one who has been here for you all this years and has bent over backwards for you, and you…you don't even give me credit for it! I have killed for you. I have taken a bullet for you. I have saved you. I have donated my sperm for you. I have done everything for you! And you go and get engaged to someone else who you have known for 6 months! Does he know that your favorite planet is Jupiter? Does he know that your favorite flowers are daisies and daffodils? Does he know that you were locked in a trunk for two days for breaking a dish? Does he know how much I want to bash his face in for taking the love of my life away from me? NO! Because he doesn't know you. So go ahead, marry this guy, I don't care anymore. Because if you cared just a little bit, you would see how much this is killing me to be around you. Do what you will. But just know, that if this little 'I wanted to be married' stage ends, or he breaks your heart, I wont be here to comfort you."
She was crying so hard she couldn't hardly breathe. All she could manage to say was....
"I hate you!" she screamed. "Stay out of my life!"
She ran out of the restaurant, leaving Booth angry, upset, and sad that he just lost the love of his life, and there was no way he could get her back.
