Sorry I havent posted in a while.
I've been really sick and just started to feel better.
I hope you like this chapter.
I was struggling a little bit trying to come up with things.
Enjoy!
Brennan sat in the hospital waiting room.
"Here's your coffee sweetie." Angela said, handing it to her.
"Thanks."
"Any word?"
"No, not yet."
"I'm sorry Bren."
"Thanks. But I'm not the one sitting in a hospital room with a gunshot wound."
"I know Brennan, I know."
Hodgins walked over.
"Hey Dr. B. How you doing?"
"I'm fine Hodgins thanks."
"I cant believe that bitch did this. All because she was mad at him."
"She had it all planned. Lie to him to get him to hate me, if that didn't work, kill me. But she ended up hurting Booth instead."
"Did the cops find her yet?"
"No I don't think."
"Ugh, this is no fair." Angela said.
A nurse came out. "Seeley Booth's friends and family?"
"That would be us." They all stood up.
Brennan, Angela, Cam, Hodgins, and Wendell were there.
"How is he?" Brennan asked.
"Well, the bullet hit 2 inches away from his heart, causing a lot of damage. We took him into surgery. Everything seems to be going well, but."
"I knew there would be a but." Hodgins said.
"He hasn't woken up yet."
"I would like to see him."
"Ok but, be prepared. He doesn't look good." The nurse led her back to Booth's room.
They walked in. "Oh my god." Brennan said.
She started crying. She ran beside him and grabbed his hand.
"I'll leave you alone with him. Page me if you need anything."
"Thank-you." She buried her head into his chest.
"I'm sorry. I should've never told you how I felt. I knew something like this would happen. You have to wake up. You have to be strong. Please wake up. Please."
She sat in silence and fell asleep.
An hour later Angela came in and nudged her shoulder.
"Bren, Bren. Wake up." She lifted her head.
"What is it Ang?"
"You need to get something to eat."
"I'm fine."
"No your not. He'll be here when we get back."
"You can't guarantee that Angela. What if we come back and he's dead? I'm not leaving him."
"Sweetie. He wouldn't want you sitting here worrying about him. Now if I have to drag you out of here I will. Come on."
"Fine." Brennan kissed the top of his head.
"I'll be right back. And I expect you to be here when I return, you hear me?"
"You know he cant hear you right."
"Yes. But I like to believe he can, and it makes me feel better."
"Okay. That's good. Lets go."
They walked out of the room and headed to the cafeteria.
"What do you want to eat?"
"I can get it myself, thanks."
"I know I was just….never mind."
They grabbed their food and went and sat at a table.
"So…"
"Ang, I really don't feel like talking right now."
"Did I do something wrong? Because everything I've said to you you've had some attitude filled reply to come back with."
"Its your fault."
"Whats my fault?"
"The whole thing with Booth. You're the one that told me to tell him how I felt. And now look where it got me. I told you I was afraid to tell people my feelings because they always leave, and that's exactly what Booth's doing."
"You cant actually be blaming this on me."
"I am. Now if you excuse me, I'm going to go sit with him."
"Brennan! I'm sorry that I finally got you to confess your true feelings. You had to learn that you cant just rationalize and compartmentalize everything that happens to you. You have to express your feelings and open yourself up. You cant be afraid."
"Well for once, I wasn't afraid, and look where that got me. Booth is lying unconscious because I actually opened myself up. So now on, I'm going to do what I think is right and not let other people convince me to do stuff."
She stormed out of the cafeteria. Angela ran after her.
By the time she caught up to her, they were at Booths room. Brennan was standing outside crying.
"Bren, whats wrong?"
"I don't know. Theres a lot of doctors in there and I'm scared to go in."
"Come on, I'll go with you."
"How can you be nice to me when we just got in a huge argument?"
"Were best friends Bren. We will always have a couple arguments here and there, but we cant let that ruin our friendship. I will always be here for you. No matter what."
"What did I do to deserve a friend like you?" she gave her a hug.
"You were just you. Now lets go." She grabbed her hand and they entered the room.
"Dr. Brennan."
"Dr. Sheppard. Whats going on?"
"We have just determined that there in no brain activity and he has slipped into a coma."
"What is the cause?"
"We have no clue. It may be emotional stress. Has anything happened to him lately besides getting shot?"
"Uh, yes. He was supposed to get married today, but he left her at the altar….for me. His fiancées the one that shot him. She was aiming for me. He's a hero."
"That would explain a lot. His brain is probably trying to process everything that has happened to him. Sit with him, keep him company. Talk to him. It might help. If you guys need anything, let me know."
"Thanks." They said simultaneously.
Dr. Sheppard left the room. Brennan went and sat down beside his bed.
"I'm..gonna go let the others know."
"Thanks Angela." Angela left.
"Booth. Have I ever told you the story about my very first trip to Guatemala?"
So what did you think?
I dont think they have ever really said anything about when she was tortured in Guatemala.
So I'm going try to emphazize on that.
If you have any ideas, leave a reply.
I could really use a lot of help.
Now REVIEW!! =)
