Special thanks to Mandi, mag31 and saragillie. I hope you like this chapter...
She went to John's apartment to get her things. She didn't have much, so it'd be quick. As she got there, all the memories of the time they were together kept coming to her mind.
'I have to get out of here as soon as I can. I have to think and this place has a lot of memories that keep messing with my mind. What the hell did I do? This was my opportunity to be really happy. What if Booth changes his mind and doesn't want me anymore? What if he doesn't even want to talk to me or see me anymore? What about Angela? What will she say to me?' she repeated those questions over and over again as if waiting for a answer some time while she got her clothes and her stuff.
Thirty minutes later she left John's apartment and drove to her old apartment.
Forty-five minutes later, she was in her old apartment. She didn't got her things out of the car, she had a lot of things in there. She was too sad and too upset to think about that right now. She just went to the couch, grabbed a pillow and cried.
She wasn't a very emotional woman, but this time she might've lost everything. After some time, she stopped crying and decided to call Angela. She grabbed her phone and dialed Angela's number. After two rings, she picked up.
"Angela"
"Angela, please. I need to talk to you." she said sobbing.
"What happened, sweetie?" she asked, concerned with her friend.
"I can't tell you on the phone. Can you stop by my apartment?" she asked, pleading.
"Of course, Bren. I'll be there in ten."
"Thanks, Angela."
"You're welcome, sweetie."
Ten minutes later, her doorbell rang. She looked through the peephole and she saw Angela. She opened the door and Angela came in.
"What happened? You called me like that. Is something wrong?" she asked.
"John proposed." she said calmly.
"That's great, sweetie!" she said excited. Then she looked at her hand but didn't saw any ring. She started to realize what happened. "What did you say?"
"I… I said that I couldn't marry him." she said, tears starting to fall.
"Why? Isn't he the perfect guy for you? You two were so happy." she said trying to know the reason of the negative answer to the proposal.
"I didn't love him. Should I have said yes and then spent the rest of my life regretting it?" she asked, sitting in the couch. Angela sat next to her.
"Why would you regret marrying a guy so nice, so handsome, so…" Angela started.
"Because there's someone else." she interrupted Angela, but in a low voice as if she was telling a secret.
"Excuse me, can you repeat that?" Angela asked, obviously not believing in what she was saying.
"There's someone else, okay? Would you like to get married to Hodgins knowing that you loved someone else?" she asked.
"I love Hodgins, sweetie." she said in a matter of fact tone.
"You know what I meant"
"Okay, I got it. But who's the other guy? Do I know him?" she asked, trying to figure out what guy could make her give up such life with John.
"I… he… Ange, can we please skip that part?" she pleaded.
"Oh my… It's Booth isn't it?" she asked and looked at Brennan. She lowered her head and managed a little nod. That was enough to Angela. "I knew it! I always said that you two were the perfect couple!"
"Right now that doesn't help very much, you know?" she said, sarcastically.
"Oh crap! We have to get Booth before he leaves!" Angela remembered the conversation she had earlier with Booth when he told her that he wouldn't fight for Brennan and that he was moving to another city.
"What?! He left?" Brennan was starting to think that everything was falling down around her head.
"What are you waiting for? Call him! Tell him to wait! Uh… tell him that you need to talk to him," Angela said, handing her the phone.
After five tries, he still hadn't picked up his cell phone. She gave up.
"Okay. So try his house. See if he's there," Angela encouraged her.
"What if he doesn't want to talk to me?" she asked, afraid that it might be true.
"Oh, come on, Bren! You have this huge news to give him and you're going to give up, because you think that he might not want to talk to you? Is that what you want, for him to leave you and for you stay here unhappy?" she demanded.
"Okay, okay. I'll see if I can find him there," Brennan said. Picking up her coat and purse, she left her apartment hoping that he'd be home.
So... A little review now? Even if you just say that you "loved it" or "it sucks"... You just need a little click in that little buttom and then you can say what you thought...
Next Chapter will be B&B's confrontation... some ideas would be great!! Tell me what you want to see happening!!
