previously …
"he.. he.. he raped me"
"OMG"
they didn't know that the team was right behind them. They caught every word.
---
"Oh my Sweetie! I'm so sorry!" Angela was shocked she had no idea what to say.
She could hear Brennan saying something but it was muffled from the sobs. She had never seen her friend like this. Usually she was so strong and she wouldn't dare let a tear drop in front of someone. She was the strongest women that Angela had ever know. But seeing her like this, it just broke her heart she had never imagined what she had gone through when she was in the system. She wanted that bastard to burn in hell after what he did to her best friend.
She saw the team, she motioned with her hands to leave. Brennan needed to let everything out and she wasn't going to let the whole team see her so vulnerable. She noticed that her sobs became quieter, she realized that she had fallen asleep. She placed her gently on her couch and got her a blanket and pillow. She closed the blinds and shut her office door with a do not disturb sign on the door; then she left.
" I just can't believe that , out of all the people that was raped. I just can't believe it" Hodgins spoke softly. After their incounter with the grave digger and with being buried alive, Jack and Brennan had gotten closer. He was like a sister to her now, he was always there for her.
"Neither can I, I always thought that Dr. Brennan was a strong person. Ever since the day I met her. I would've never thought that this could happen to her." Cam said.
Zach had no idea what to say so he just kept quiet and was thinking a million things in his mind.
Booth he was so shocked when he heard the news. He thought he heard wrong but when he looked at all the squints he knew what he heard was right. He knew she had a tough time in the system. But he never, never in a million years could he believe that it happen to her. She was already broken and that piece of shit of a man broke her even more. Now he understands why Bones is the way she is.
"None of us can, but we need to be there for her. We can't push her in talking. It must've taken her a lot just to tell Angela." Sweets said.
"Yeah, it was tough for her, she cried so hard that I have never seen her cry before. I've known Brennan for a very long time, and she had never cried like that before." Angela spoke softly and startled everyone.
"And before you ask, she's asleep in my office."
"Did she say anything else to you Angela?" Booth asked.
" No, all she said was the he raped her, and started to sob. I'm glad she fell asleep." Angela spoke softly .
"Hello, I'm here to see a Temperance Brennan." The team heard from behind them. They saw a man in his twenties maybe.
"I'm sorry sir, but I can't let you. May I ask why?" The guard asked.
"I can't tell you, I just need to talk to her it's an emergency. Look will you tell her that Ryan was here, and tell her ..(sighs) just tell her I'm sorry. and that we really need to talk. Can you do that?" Asked the man.
"Yes. I'll get her your message." The guard spoke. As "Ryan" turned to leave but stopped. When he saw a women exit out of a office.
"Tempe!" He shouted.
She just woke up, she still hadn't known why she was in Angela's office in the first place. When she heard her name she saw who had screamed it.
"Ryan" She said softly.
He ran up to her engulfing her with a tight hug. She returned the hug. The security guard went to get him, but Brennan shook her head. He knew what she meant and went back to his post.
"Ryan, what are you doing here?"
"I had to see you Tempe. I'm so sorry for everything, you have to forgive me. I'm sorry I broke the promise. but I also kept another one." Ryan replied. She was confused which promise had he kept? He broke the promise about never going to leave her.
He looked into her eyes, seeing that she was confused so he leaned down and kissed her.
"The one where I was never going to stop loving you." He replied softly in her ear.
She was so shocked didn't know what to say. She looked around the lab, and saw her team looking, she saw the shocked faces of her co-workers. But one that really had stuck out was Booth's she practically cheated on him right in front of him she didn't know what to say, or even do so she backed away. Even though they weren't in a relationship, she still felt like she cheated on him right then and there. She could've sworn she saw hurt in his eyes. But it quickly disappeared with the mask of his that he put up.
"I'm sorry Ryan but right now is not a very good time. I have work to do."
"Take a lunch break, or anything we need to talk Temperance." Ryan spoke louder than he had before.
"I can't right now we will talk later I have work to do."
"Same old Tempe huh? Always to busy." Ryan replied a hint of anger in his voice but was covered with a smile. That smile always made Brennan melt.
"I have to go. Good-bye Ryan." She walked up to the platform but he was right behind her, she wasn't getting away that easily.
"Temperance Brennan will you stop and listen to me for a moment." Right now they were just across the platform from the team they were in good ear-shot. But neither Ryan nor Brennan noticed.
"Ryan, I can't deal with this right now, I have work to do." Brennan said she was starting to get frustrated with him already.
"When then? I know I broke my promise. I know I left you when you needed me. I know how badly I hurt you. Trust me I do. But we need to talk about this I want to make things right between the two of us."
"We can't Ryan. I just can't right now." She said.
"Why Tempe? Why? Remember that night, you said you loved me and I said I loved you too? I meant that. I Didn't want to leave you, and I know you know that so why can't you accept it?
"Ryan please this is not the time or the place to discuss this." She said while observing the platform.
"I just need to know one thing. I promise I will leave. Ok?"
"Fine."
"Do you still love me?" he spoke quietly.
"Excuse me?"
"I said do you still love me?" he said a bit louder maybe too loud.
"I.. uh.. I don't know Ryan." She said looking directly into Booth deep chocolate brown eyes.
"Then let me take you to dinner. Please Temperance I just.. (sighs) please" Ryan pratically begged.
"Alright pick me up here at 7."
"Great!" he exclaimed happily, he kissed her good-bye on the cheek and left her promising to pick her up in 6 hours.
Angela figured she would go and talk to Brennan as seeing everyone was still trying to accept everything that just happened.
"Sweetie honey are you ok?"
"Yes, fine, why wouldn't I be?" she asked completely confused then it hit her like a ton of bricks she let out her deepest darkest secret.
"Sweetie.."
"It's okay Angela. Is he still there or did he leave?"
"umm…" she didn't know what to say since she didn't have any clue if he still was.
Booth spoke up.
"He left. Promising to come back and see you."
"oh." was all Brennan could say.
"So sweetie who was that hunk?" Angela asked trying to bring the mood up some how.
"Ryan. An old friend." she replied not knowing if she should've said former boyfriend actually former fiance.
"Are you sure sweetie cause it didn't seem like you guys were just friends. I mean that kiss wow! it was hot!"
Brennan was getting uncomfortable talking about this while in front of Booth.
"Umm.. " she figured what the hell, they know my darkest secret might as well tell them.
"Ryan wasn't just an old friend. When we were younger and I was in the system I met him hanging around where I lived by. He wasn't in the system but he always said he knows how it feels to loose your family and live with complete strangers. I never really understood what he meant by that. After a while we grew closer. We ended up dating. Then when things started getting really bad in my foster home. He asked me to marry him. And I .. I said yes." She immediately looked at Booth wanting to see what he would think. But another part of her didn't want to afraid of what she might see.
Booth was shocked. He didn't know what to say. Bones was engaged? Wow too much information to accept in one whole day.
"Sweetie! You never say anything about ever being engaged! What happened?" Angela asked.
"He broke a promise. I haven't seen him since then. Well until today."
"What promise sweetie?"
"It's nothing. Are we all done learning about my past. Can we just try and focus on the case please?" Brennan asked tired of all the questions of her past. She knew she shouldn't have said anything but she couldn't hold it in anymore.
" I agree with bones. Let's get to work and find out who our dead corpse is alright." Booth replied coldly for some reason.
The entire squints were not sure if they should but decieded that they should focus on the case then deal with Brennan's past and help her.
"Alright Team their right let's get to work, you guys aren't paid for just to stand around and listen onto other people conversations lets get to work on identifying the victim. Everyone knows what to do I'm guessing after 3 in a half years I'm thinking we should. " Cam replied.
They all went on to figuring out who their new victim was.
"Bones I think we should talk" Booth said.
"I can't right now. I'm tired of talking. I need to work right now." Brennan told Booth.
"Alright. Well if you figure anything out. Call me. I'll be at the Hoover building I guess."
He turned back around to Bones and grabbed her by the arm gently and moved her away from the squints.
"Bones I'm sorry about what happened. If you need anyone to talk to I'm always here ok?"
"Okay Booth." Brennan said not really wanting to get into anything at this moment.
" Alright. Well. Bye." He took her into his arms and hugged her kissed her on the forehead and left. He didn't care who saw.
"Byee." Brennan was shocked by what just happened. She hugged him back. And watched him leave. She couldn't believe all of this was happening.
"Sweetie did I just see what I think I saw?" Angela asked from behind her.
"Yes Angela you did."
"What's going on between you and Booth , I thought there was a line between you two?"
"We crossed it. Well he crossed his own line I think. He said he loved me." Bones replied in a hushed whisper.
"WHAT!?" Angela practically screamed.
"Shh! Angela! He said he loved me. I didn't know what to say. He wants a relationship, but I don't know with my past all out in the open like this and Ryan coming back. I just don't know."
"Sweetie. Do you love him?"
"I think I do, but with Ryan coming back I don't know what to do anymore."
Angela was speechless she didn't know what to say or what to think. She was right they did have feelings for each other. But will Ryan get in the way of that or ? Too much information in one day.
Meanwhile outside.
Booth was walking to his SUV. He couldn't believe Bones was once engaged. And her foster parent /father type person raped her. I can't believe she went through all of that. He let a tear trickle down his face. He did wonder if she had still loved Ryan like he asked her. Booth didn't know what to feel. He didn't want to loose her to another man. He loved her.
What he didn't know was that there was someone about a couple of meters away. Snickering.
"That what you get Agent Booth. I got my heart broken once. And now you get to see how it feels like to loose the one you love."
