Ok here is the next chapter. And I promise that the letter will be coming up, I think it may be in the next chapter along with some very interesting news that Dr. Jacobs tells Booth.

Hope you like it!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You Promised

"Mr. Booth" Dr. Jacobs said.

"Yes?"

"You two have quite a connection don't you?" He asked.

"WE are partners and best friends, of course we have a connection" Booth said as though he thought the answer was obvious.

"I mean more then that. Ok well umm" Dr. Jacobs stuttered at the glare he got from Booth. "Would it be possible to talk to you in the hall for a minute?" When he saw Booth's eyes look back at Bren he stated "Her body needs the rest, she will not wake up for a little while."

"Ok but just for a second because I have to be here when she wakes up" Booth gave in.

"Of course" Dr. Jacobs said as he was already walking out the door and into the hallway.

Both Dr. Jacobs and Booth left, unaware of what was going on inside Bren's head.

---------------------------------

Inside Brennen's head:

"NO!" she screamed.

"Please don't leave me!" she begged.

Her father and brother just looked at her skeptically. "Why would we want to stay with you?" they questioned. "You are the outcast of the family, the screw up" Russ said.

"No, I'm not. Oh god I am!" Bren realized.

"No! I can change. Don't leave me!" she begged,

Russ and Max just kept walking away, without glancing back.

----------------------------------

Bren jolted awake, sobbing. She looked around for Booth but found him nowhere. He left me, he promised that he wouldn't and he did. He is just like my family. Oh god my dad was right. Bren thought.

Her sobbing got so loud that outside her room and in the hallway Booth heard her.

Booth came running and took her Bones's hand. "Shh, I'm here. Its ok" he tried to soothe.

"You promised" she sobbed. "You told me that you would be here when I wake up. You left me, just like my dad and Russ" she started to cry even harder after saying her thoughts.

"God Bones, I'm sorry. I am not going to leave you. I just had to talk to the doctor about what I need to do when you come home with me" Booth said as he tried to make her stop crying because he knew that it could not be helping her already weak state. Shit, I just said that she was coming home with me. I hope that she does not realize that I said that Booth thought. "I am not going to leave you. I am different then Russ and your dad. You know that."

"But you just left me now, you promised that you wouldn't leave me. My family also said that we will be together always, and look how great that turned out."

"Temperance, look at me" Booth said sternly as Bones turned her head to look at him. "I am telling you that I will not leave you. I know that it is hard but you have to trust me that I won't."

"It's just hard for me to trust people Booth. I'm sorry but it is hard for me. I'm sorry"

"Don't be sorry Bones." Booth ordered. "You have nothing to be sorry about. What happened to you should never have to happen to anyone. Especially twice. It is only expected that you should have trouble trusting people. Just do not ever be sorry Bones, that's all I ask."

"Thank you Booth" Bren said quietly. "I think that I should try to get some more sleep, just do you think that you could please stay here with me?" she pleaded.

"I will not move from this spot" Booth replied sternly.

Bones smiled slight, but it was still notice by Booth who gave her one of his biggest charm smiles.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I decided not to put a big cliffy in there just because I am soooo nice. But there will be shocking news in the next chapter. Hopefully I will get it posted tomorrow if I finish writing it but after all tomorrow is Bones day so I'm not too sure if I will be able to post it.
