A/N: Here it is, new chapter, as promised! If it's not that good, it's probably because I haven't written in like forever. I'll try my best to make this the best that I can, but after another chapter or 2 I'll get back on track!
Booth's POV:
"Yeah Cam, I'm not coming into work again today. I know. I'm sorry I just can't until she gets bett—oh okay, thanks. See ya." I puffed out a breath of air. Time to visit her again…I thought to myself while stepping into my vehicle. In the duration of the whole car ride to the hospital, I was losing more and more hope. Why can't she just wake up already? It's been a whole week! I parked my car and as slow as ever,I strolled towards the hospital doors. I listened as each footstep made a plopping noise into the puddles of rain. I had thought after she was separated from the kidnapper that the all the pain and suffering would be over with, but it's far from that. At least she's not in any more pain…but I am.
"Ah, Mr. Booth. Good to see you again." The doctor greeted me as soon as he saw me step through the doors. "Go ahead and sign in."
"How is she?" I asked while signing my name onto the long blue sheet that I have seen daily this past week.
The usually emotion-less doctor had a deep, sympathetic look in his eyes. "Well…the patient's information really shouldn't be shared with anyone…but some of the nurses have informed me that sometimes, especially during night, she cries and sweats, breathing rapidly. We think it might have been caused by a traumatic experience…most likely nightmares from her encounter with the kidnapper."
"Oh God…so she has to be tormented by this every day?" My head started pounding with anger. Why her? Why couldn't this have happened to ME instead? "Well do you at least know when she'll wake up from the damn coma!"
"Mr. Bo—"
"It's AGENT Booth…" I normally wouldn't snap like this…but I wasn't in the mood for politeness.
"Sorry, Agent Booth, we really can't know for sure yet. She hasn't really showed any signs…"
"Whatever. I'm going to go in and see her now" After a nod from the doctor, I narrowed my eyes and stormed towards her room. I gave a slight knock then shoved the door open. When I saw her face again, all my anger vanished. My lips curled into a grin as I stepped towards her. "Hey Bones…" I whispered as softly as I could. I picked up her pale hand and leaned by her side. "I missed you…I can't wait to hear your voice again…" I gently pushed a strand of hair away from her face. "To see those gorgeous eyes open again…"
I held her hand in silence as minutes flew by. I studied her features carefully as if it was the last time I was going to see her.
Brennan's POV:
I heard his calm voice speaking to me, and felt the skin of his hand against mine. Booth… I really want to wake up to see your caring chocolate eyes staring deeply into mine again, for us to laugh and talk like we used to…I just don't have to power to do that right now…I wish I could just tell you how much you mean to me and to wake up for everything to go back to normal…
I need to do something about this.
As I carefully listened to each meaningful word he said to me, I struggled to squeeze his hand…at least a little bit so that he would know I could hear him. It felt impossible—almost as though I had to bend a heavy piece of steel—but I wouldn't give up. I took a deep breath and focused all my energy into my one hand. It failed…but I felt a small tingle in my hand when I did it. Once more, I gave it all I could, this time my fingers were able to limply curve around Booth's.
"Oh my God, Bones!" He yelled and squeezed my hand even harder. "I knew you could do it! Now just try to wake up, just try Bones…please."
I have to…for him.
Again, I took a deep breath, and managed to cough out one word.
"Booth…"
A/N: Okay so this chapter was quite short but I was planning to end it like this and I *think* I have the next chapter thought out. I usually just think of an idea, then write it up as I go along. I did end it at kind of a cliffhanger, but a happy cliffhanger so at least that's good haha :) please review any thoughts or comments about how this chapter was, because again, since I haven't written in so long so I'm not sure how well I'm doing now. Thank you for reading! Review! :)
