#10- Breathe Again

She couldn't take it anymore. It was too much to compartmentalize, even for her. In the past two weeks, Booth had "died", Booth had come back, and she had found out that Zack was Gormogon's apprentice. And now, Booth was sitting in her office and trying to convince her to talk it through with him. She didn't want to talk it through! She wanted to just move on. Why couldn't he understand that?! He didn't leave her alone; instead, he began to tell her about how she hadn't done anything wrong, that it was Zack's mistake, not hers. And that had sent her over the edge. She finally let it out. She began to sob so hard that she couldn't breathe. Booth quickly wrapped his arms around her and began to whisper in her ear. "Shhh…It's okay, Bones. Breathe. Just breathe again."
