Kelsey just kept screaming.

"Momma! No MOMMA! DADDY DON'T! STOP!! DON'T HURT HER! Please…"

Kelsey was shaking and thrashing. Her eyes were open but gazed over like she had taken to much medication of some sort. Bones was at a loss. She just simply didn't know what to do. And those screams…so full of pain, anger, defeat, and most of all a heat wrenching sadness. The guard ran in and took charge of things.

"Call the hospital."

He held the girls hands down to make sure she didn't hurt herself.

"NO! NO! NO! PLEASE LET HER GO!"

She got very quiet. Bones couldn't even tell if she was breathing as she watched her from her desk. Then she started screaming again.

"NOT THE SNAKES! NO PLEASE! NOT SNAKES!"

She kept screaming in pure terror. The guard thought he'd be sick soon. Paramedics ran in and tied her to the stretcher. She trashed and screamed. Bones could see blood poor out of her wounds. Then as fast as it came on she stopped. She was silent except for her heavy breathing. Her eyes were open and she watching the people with distrust. Bone did the only thing she could think of as the ambulance sped off with Kelsey in it….she called Booth.

"What do want Bones?"

Bone started to cry as she heard his voice. It was so comforting even when sh had just witnessed what she had.

"Booth…she just kept screaming. And then they put her on the stretcher and she started to bleed and…"

She was sobbing. It hurt her to think that this girl had gone through so much.

"I'll be right there, Bones."

"Hurry."

She hung up the phone and took a breath realizing how stupid she sounded. She was a rational scientist. Rational scientist don't cry over murders. So why was her rational side leaving her now. She didn't want Booth to see her like this. She didn't want to seem venerable. She wanted Booth to see her as a strong women.

"Bones! Where are you?"

He found her sitting on the floor on a heap. In one short movement he was next to her with his arms around her. They just sat there like that for a while neither one wanting to move.

"What happened Bones?

"I was writing for my next novel after Kelsey had fallen asleep. Then at around 2am she started screaming and kicking around. Charlie ran in and I called the hospital. They took her in about ten minutes ago."

Bones shoved her head into his shoulder as she had when she thought her brother was dead.

"It was horrible. I've never heard screams like that. I deal with the dead. They don't scream like that."

He ran his fingers through her hair. He loved it when she opened up to him but he hated it when she was hurt. Admittedly the time those two things happed at the same time.

"It's okay. I'm right here."

Bones looked him in the eyes and smiled brightly through her tears.

"I know. You always are."

He smiled his "Charm smile"

"I'm not going to leave you Bones."

"I know. I trust you."

His heart swelled at her faith. She trusted him with her heart and now he knew it. He was going to take care of. Very well.

"Come on. I'll take you home."

She looked up at him and shook her head.

"I'm going to the hospital. Your coming too."

He smiled at her and saluted.

"Yes ma'am."

Booth helped her up off the floor and put his hand on the small of her back as they walked out to his car. He remembered the scar that was underneath the soft purple shirt.

"Hey Bones."

"Yeah?"

"How'd you get that scar?"

She looked at the ground.

"I was in my second foster home. The couple that took us in only did it for the money. They man got mad when one of the girls asked him for help on her history paper and tried to hit her. I pushed him away and he hit me instead. I got a job and started taking defense classes."

Booth pulled her closer to his side.

"I'm sorry."

"For what? You didn't do it."

He smiled sadly at her.

"But I wish no one had."

She took his hand and smiled brightly.

I love him.

The realization hit her hard. She hadn't known it all along. Well her heart did but her head didn't. Know they were both on the same page. She thought she would be afraid or feel the urge to run. But somehow she didn't. She felt elated. This was Booth and she trusted Booth.

They drove with the sirens to the hospital. Everything was quiet and you could no longer here Kelsey screaming. Bones was very grateful for that. She didn't think she'd be able to take it again.

"Excuse me. We're here to see a Kelsey Quinn."

A tall nurse with blonde hair and blue eyes smiled warmly at Booth.

"She's in room B201. My name is Jasmine. Just ask for me if someone gives you trouble."

Booth smiled his "Charm smile". Bones felt a wave of heat. She wanted this women gone. NOW. What was so great about her? Sure she was tall and sure she was blonde. Sure she had perfectly tanned skin and pretty blue eyes. What made her so perfect?

"That won't be necessary. I think we can find a room and I'm a doctor so I think I will be able to pass without trouble."

The nurse smiled harshly at her then turned back to Booth who had been quietly watching his partner.

"Well if you have ANY kind of trouble you can call me."

She slipped something out of her breast pocket.

"Here's my number."

Booth smiled and took the number and placed it in the back pocket of his jeans. Bones glared at the women and the nurse raised her eyebrows. Then Bones felt a surge of power knowing that it would be herself that Booth was eating with tonight and not this girl. She smiled widely. And grabbed Booth's hand pulling him toward room B201.

"I think he'll be fine."

Booth grinned. He didn't know what just happened back there but he was pretty sure Bones was jealous.

Could that mean….no….but maybe….

They entered the room to see Kelsey sitting up in the bed staring blankly at nothing. The doctor was trying to get her to lie down.

"Please Miss Quinn. The body can only run for so long without sleep. You need to sleep."

"No."

The answer was curt and impassive. She angled her head to look at the doctor.

"I don't need that long anyway."

Bones felt a pang of…something. She had respect for the girl. Looking at death so fearlessly. But then she thought this girl had no will to live. And that pissed her off.

The doctor looked at the two of them and signaled he wanted to go outside the door. Kelsey looked at the pair.

"He's going to tell you I have chronic night terrors. There's nothing you can do about them. 'You'll grow out of them.' That's what he'll say. That's all we know."

Kelsey once again took on her blank eyes and started to hum to herself so softly Bones almost couldn't hear it.

"Kelsey! Kels! Kels Bells!"

The man from earlier cam running into the room.

"Hey Jake! Look where I am now. They just don't know what to do with me."

Jake smiled.

"Nope. I can see that. Look what I brought."

He reached in his back pocket. Booth pulled out his gun.

"Hands were I can see them."

"It's an I pod, Agent Booth."

Kelsey laughed slightly. She looked back at him.

"You taken the whole 'Gun-in-my-face-thing a lot better then I did."

Jake rolled his eyes nervously.

"Thanks, Kelsey. Really comforting."

She raised one eyebrow at him.

"It could be worse."

"How?"

She smiled wickedly.

"I could be holding the gun."

Bones laughed a little at this. Booth turned and looked at her with a look of disbelief.

"What? It was funny."

Kelsey smiled warmly at her.

"Doctor Brennan, Agent Booth, let me introduce you to my boss, Jake Black."

"Your boss?"

She smiled again.

"Yep!"

She swiftly pulled the I pod from his hand and put the earphones in.

"Where is it? Oh here it is."

She turned the music up even louder.

"Tommy used to work on the docks"

Jake and her shared a smiled.

"Oh we're half way there Oh liven on a prayer take my hand and we'll make it I swear Oh liven on a prayer."

Bones smiled as she watched the child. So happy to simply sing. She looked back at Booth who looked irritated. She took his hand and he turned to her smiling,

"Come on. Thai food. My place?"

"Sure."

Kelsey watched them as they left, still holding hands. She knew they weren't dating, but they loved each other.

Well. I'll just have to fix that.
