REVIEW!
Brennan hated hospitals and everything about them. There would never be something to change her mind. She hated the white walls, which gave her the creeps, the smell, it made her want to vomit, the beeping, it was just so annoying! The sickness, how much it reminded her that she wasn't mortal and that she might die one day here, and the nurses. How much she hated the nurses. It wasn't really that she hated them; it was that they always told her what to do. At what time to do things, and they always put those stupid needles in her like if she was some kind of pin cushion.
It had been two weeks since she woke up. The first day was okay, she had to get some tests done and things were okay. But when the doctor said she was going to be here until they felt it was okay to leave, it was like she was sentenced to prison, and it made Bones want to rip her head out. She felt that she was okay, but everyone said otherwise.
She was thin, very skinny, and not healthy skinny, more like skeletal skinny. Her face was pale, her eyes sunken, and her skin felt loose. There were no mirrors in the hospital, except for the bathroom, and she couldn't be more thankful. She took showers on her own, but a nurse was always outside to help. Hating to take a shower because it was only time she saw herself so fragile, and not really her. Brennan had to see her self with the symptoms of starvation, and she couldn't bare it.
The cameras were recording when the guys came and visited her. They would talk for about ten minutes and leave; they said it wasn't healthy to get her all worked up. The cameras would record ten minutes of Booth's conversation and would act as if they both left. But Booth would come back and they would talk more. The FBI had sent other agents to look at what had happened to her food, and they would meet everyday at her room, exactly at 6:30 pm. Not one minute sooner.
After she had thrown up the pesticides and got in a coma, Booth had called Cullen.
"SOME ONE TRIED TO KILL DR. TEMPERANCE BRENNAN, MY PARTNER!"
"Calm down, Booth"
"How do you want me to calm down, when my partner is in a coma and someone is trying to make sure she doesn't wake up, don't tell me to calm down!"
"Booth…"
"I want to end the undercover."
"If both of you were contestants, I would, but she's the bachelorette, she's being recorded most of the time, and…"
"Are you listening to what I'm telling you? Of course not, someone wants to kill her, and all you care about is the show?"
"BOOTH, LISTEN FOR CRYING OUT LOUD! If you end the undercover, you also end the investigation. No matter how far you are on it, someone else is going to take over this case, and guess what? You won't get any justice. So decide, do you really want to end it?
Booth wanted to say yes and it would all go away, but he knew otherwise. If he gave up this, he would be giving up the chance to catch the SOB who tried to kill his Bones. He knew that if he gave it all up, and Brennan didn't make it through the pain and all the illnesses she passed through, then he would never forgive himself for letting her down. So he took a deep breath and calmed himself down.
"No sir"
"Good, now that we're on the same page. My agents are going to come down there and start another investigation. I really hope the good doctor wakes up soon. When she does, let her decide what to do on her own, don't push her, she's really something son. Let her know my get well wishes."
Booth was surprised to hear 'good doctor', 'when she wakes up', 'she's really something' and 'get well' from his boss. He knew that Cullen and Brennan didn't quite get along, but his partner got to him. And let's face it; they were the best team in the country! His boss had to get along with his partner in order to keep the crime at this high rate. But Cullen really genuinely liked her, and it made him proud and warm inside.
"Yeah, I make sure of it."
Booth had been by her side all the way, didn't leave unless he had to. They had discovered that the tape from the restaurant's kitchen had been deleted. They tried to find other tapes, but there was none. Interviewing all the employees, and all the guests to see if they saw anything, but nothing was found. No one saw anything, and they had no leads, it was a dead end.
The agents and Brennan had their meetings, and at first, they would ask the same questions everyday, until they finally gave up, because it was always the same answers. They started talking about different things, all related to the case. There were four agents.
Luke, the leader of them all, tall, light brown hair, dark green eyes, very handsome, and strong. Tom, the second leader, kind of like Luke, only softer, he showed more emotion, and he showed that he cared more often than most. He was tall, dark hair, blue eyes, soft features, and strong. And lastly, but more fun, TJ and JT. They were brothers, one year from each other. They have the brother rivalry, but are too playful to actually put it to action. Both are blond, caramel eyes, square jaw, and strong. They were about her height, maybe a centimeter taller. TJ, Tyler Jackson, is the older brother, he is more firm, but still playful and also has the caramel puppy eyes, those eyes melted her heart. JT, Joe Tomas, is the youngest of all of them. He is the little brother from the squad, and Brennan's favorite. Playful, dramatic and Brennan had him wrapped around her finger, I mean, she had the four of them wrapped around her finger, and it was just that JT would obey her all the time, but the other three knew how to say no to her every once in a while.
Luke was the mastermind, pretty much the boss. Tom was the action dude; he knew how to fight at all costs. TJ was the smart man, he knows from how to hack a computer to hacking a building. JT knew how to talk in all different languages and knew how to act in any way possible; he also specialized in medicine and took care of the guys when something wasn't right. They had all been part of the army at some point. TJ and JT were both Marines till about two years ago, and then Tom and Luke were in the military till they entered the FBI about seven years ago.
The four of them treated and protected Brenna like she was their little sister. And when they met Booth, they all already treated her like that, and Booth was thankful for that. But he let them know, that she was his, by threatening them to cut their…and then…. So they really didn't want to mess with him. But after they started to get along, and Brennan couldn't be happier. The squad got to her, and after all this mess was over, she knew that she would be keeping them around. They were just so likable and they were so damn adorable, and it might just be her, but having four strong, old military and marine, FBI guys around you made her feel so protected and hot. She still liked Booth better, it wasn't a question, and she would give all of them up for him in a heart beat.
Her days would depend on visits from the guys, then a meeting with her bodyguards, and then a nice dinner with Booth.
The guys so far had been fantastic.
Kyle's visits were always so sweet. It pretty much went like this:
"Hey gorgeous"
"Hey Kyle"
Kyle sat on the chair next to her bed and gave her one lily. She smiled and thanked him. They would talk and talk, and he would give her caring kisses and it would be perfect.
On her shelf in front of the window, there was a vase for each of the guys. Every lily Kyle brought her would go in there and make it just a little bit bigger.
Then there was Jack.
He was always concerned for her, and he would make her laugh at all costs, and make funny jokes. He would tell her all kinds of stories, and it would be so natural. He had brought her a bouquet that was on the shelf.
Henry had those family funny stories that made her laugh so hard, she cried. He always knew what to say and it made her so happy.
Chase, Bryan, Mark, Parker, Danny, Alex, Leo, Edwin, and Jesse's visits were unique in their own way. Each making her laugh, each making her day a little bit brighter, and all of them were always so concerned for how she felt. There was always a point when things turned romantic, and most of the guys took it and made the best of it.
But Mark and Edwin didn't really do much. They didn't quite grasp the concept of romance. It made her doubt the fact that they were supposed to be interested in her.
There was only three weeks left on the Bachelorette, so she had to choose seven guys by the end of the week. She was going to get out of this black hole tomorrow, and she couldn't wait. Seven guys she had feelings for, it had been almost a month since she had gone out with any of the guys. But she's known them for about two months. They've shown most of their true colors while she was recovering. Each showing what they would do if she got sick while they were together, if they would take care and listen, or run for the hills?
It was finally time to get out of hell. She was so exhausted, but she wouldn't stay another second in here. Her weight was still low, but she was healthy, her face had gained all its color back, and her eyes finally had that spark everyone missed out on. When she finished changing to her normal clothes, Luke came in.
"Hey you ready?"
"Yeah, I got everything."
"Good, now come on let's get you out of this place."
Taking her stuff, and her arm, he helped her into their limo. The three other guys from the squad were already inside waiting for them. From here they would leave to the rose ceremony.
"So who are you choosing?"
"I don't know, I mean it's finally here and then we're going to Brazil, picking four guys, visiting homes and then pick the final two. Who knew being a bachelorette could be this tiring?"
"I'm tired just hearing about it."
Brennan laughed at JT. He was just so…JT.
Getting out of the limo and into her suite, the guys set her stuff down, and left her to think of who could be going home, and who's leaving with her to Brazil?
Showering, and putting on a robe, she looked into the mirror. She did her make up and started to curl her hair. It had gotten longer while at the hospital and now it looked really pretty. Exhaling, she let go of her robe. Grabbing her gown and shoes, she put each on. She was physically ready for this ceremony, she just didn't know if she was ready emotionally. They were great guys, but could they be husband material. This was supposed to be an undercover assignment, and she wasn't suppose to feel so overwhelmed, but she did feel emotions for each guy and she did feel overwhelmed and there was no changing it.
Rationality was out of her system, her heart was finally in overdrive, and it was driving like a maniac in thirteen different ways. She was falling for some of the guys, and it wouldn't be easy saying goodbye, but this was what she had to do.
She had to choose seven guys.
Seven guys… Seven guys…
Pick your seven favorite guys.
Henry, Jack, Mark, Chase, Bryan, Parker, Alex, Danny, Leo, Edwin, Jesse, Kyle, and Seeley
