So here I was, stuck in this house with absolutely no way to contact anybody. The phone wasn't dialling out and I had no car, no computer. Should I start walking? If so, in which direction should I head?
The phone that I held in the palm of my hand started ringing for a third time. This time I answered it, "Dr Brennan. Would you just wake up already! I am not a very emotional person, even my daughter would agree with that but you have brought me to tears on more than one occasion. You need to wake up and help put the bad guys behind bars once more. Not only that Booth is miserable, he loves you so much, I really wish the pair of you would see what you have. So get your sorry butt out of bed, tell that man you love him and move on with your life!"
"Caroline, can you hear me? I am stuck in this house, I don't know where but it is near the ocean. I am so confused I don't know what is going on. Caroline, Caroline please answer me." She didn't acknowledge me, why couldn't she hear me?
"I'm gonna go now, don't want to anybody find me baring my soul for all to hear. Hope to see you soon Cherie." The line suddenly went dead.
I was so scared, I started crying. Not something I do very often but I had lost everything and all I wanted was Booth. I had no idea what I should do.

I was headed back to Tempe's room when I walked into somebody. "Caroline, what are you doing here?" I was surprised to see the lawyer here. We knew what happened to Tempe, it was an accident. No, scratch that, it was my fault.
"I just popped by to see how she was doing. I'm so sorry, I know how much you want her to wake up."
"Thanks." I didn't even attempt to cover up my love for Tempe anymore. "I love her and I want her to be okay. I need her to be okay. It's all my fault…"
"Oh Cherie, nothing is your fault. What happened was an accident." It was strange to see Caroline Julian so caring, so loving. She wasn't a mean person but she wasn't one to show her emotions, maybe that was why she took such a shine to Tempe.
"It was my fault though. She told me that she loved me and then ran off. I let her run away, I thought that she just needed time to process everything. You know what she is like but I never found her in time. I never found her to tell her I love her. I do, I really do I love Temperance Brennan." It felt good to finally say it out loud, no it felt more than good. It felt amazing.
I could see the tears building up in Caroline's eyes. "Have you told her yet?"
"No, I was going to but then Cullen called so I had to go outside and take it. I was on my way up to talk to her and then I ran into you."
She was now wearing a look of complete awe, this encounter was beginning to get scary. "Well you get in there and don't come out till you have spoke to her. I better get back to the office, those criminals won't lock themselves up you know."
"Okay, I will see you later Caroline."
"Bye Cherie."
Caroline left and I headed on inside to tell a certain Miss Temperance Brennan that I love her and this time nothing was going to get in my way.

Okay so it is short I know but I have decided to be mean and let you know that I am not going to update again until I hear some feedback. Good, bad I don't care but in the last week alone I have had over 2000 hits to all of my stories and yet no feedback left. What am I doing wrong here people, please let me know. I am beginning to get really disheartened here, I may just give it up.
