AN: I personally love this chapter. I love the whole 'Duck! Psyco Bitch has a gun' concept...as you can see I have watched soap operas before. LOL jk. So this is the interaction between Bones and her Cousin. Read and Enjoy
So this is how it ends
Nicole pulled Bones out of the cab by her fractured wrist.
Bones winced and whimpered as the pain escalated from touch.
Nicole put her hand and squeezed her cousin's neck and walked into the apartments. She shoved Bones up the steps and pushed her through the halls to her cousins' apartment. She unlocked the door with the key she stole and shoved Bones inside locking the door behind her.
Bones tripped and stumbled to the ground landing on her injured wrist. She screamed, but it was too muffled by the bandana shoved in her mouth.
Nicole looked at her hungrily and knelt down she pulled the bandana out of her cousins' mouth and grabbed Bones' injured wrist giving it a final twist
Bones screamed as she felt the bones twist.
Nicole smiled "Pain…it's a reassuring thing. Everyone has experienced pain one time or another. It's a place where everyone can go too for comfort. Don't you agree?" she said darkly
Bones' eyes grew wide "Pain isn't a place it's a reaction when your body-"
Nicole took Bones' wrist and twisted it again, sending her to scream and whimper when she let go "Shut up! I'm sick of the science shit!" she said getting up
Bones stayed on the ground, cradling her wrist near her body, wishing the pain would stop
Nicole lifted her shirt over the top of her jeans and pulled out a gun. She turned the safety off and spun it around her finger "Stand up" she demanded
Bones stumbled up still holding her wrist and glaring at her cousin
Nicole smiled "You scared Tempe?" she asked
Bones shook her head "No" she said
Nicole laughed "Why you think that your little cousin can't handle a gun?"
Bones started to speak, but just shook her head
"Then why aren't you scared?" Nicole hissed staring her straight in the eyes
"I set my trust in my partner, he won't let me down…" she said staring right back
"Booth! You think BOOTH will save you!?!?!" Nicole said with a laugh
"Why is it so funny? He has saved me before." Bones said
Nicole nodded and jumped to sit on her cousins' counter "So…that's how your relationship is. You play the damsel in distress and him the mighty knight. He saves you when you are in trouble, and you guys share a moment. One of those moments that makes your heart ache, and your whole body tremble. But then reality sits in, you two are partners, best friends, and nothing more. So you push him away. You toy with each other's hearts, up and down, up and down, like a see-saw…" Nicole said staring at the gun and turning it over in her hands "But when someone new comes along, that isn't allowed. You guys can't be together…but he is still yours. He is your territory, and you can't have foreigners on your territory. It's instinct, we are only humans, so when get something we like, and it is on the verge of being stolen, we attack. With slashing claws and clamping jaws…" Nicole said almost in a trance
"Why did you do it?" Bones asked
"Why did I do what?" Nicole asked innocently "Tell me what I did?"
"You killed that couple. You set them up in the canal to be staring at each other forever, those sticks that you described to Booth symbolized you. You drew the pentagram in their blood, and sacrificed yourself for what? Then you try to blow me up! You put explosives in my car, just in case the ice wasn't enough," Bones said half disgusted half hurt
Nicole smiled "Scary isn't it? That a little girl like me, the one with the mirror image of yourself, could be a killer," she said with a smiled
"Why did you do it?" Bones asked again
"Because, that little whore of a girl stole my man. Tony loved me, and I loved him. But then that slut screwed him, and he was magically in love with her…" Nicole hissed
"Why did you think he loved you?" Bones asked
"He told me, he said to me that he loved me, and the sex was amazing," she said
Bones shook her head "Love is more than sex…" she said
"Look who's talking!" Nicole spat
Bones looked confused "What?"
"You don't even know what love is! You think it's some chemical that your body releases to make you feel something. You work every single day, with an amazing man, who is caring, and loving, and compassionate, who runs to your side when needed. He holds you when you cry, and makes you smile constantly. He takes care of you, makes sure you actually leave that lab once in a while. Without him you would have no social life other than making dead people talk to you!" Nicole spat
Bones looked to her throbbing wrist, everything Nicole just said was true, but what confused Bones the most was were her cousin was going with this "So?" she said
Nicole laughed "That proves my point. Booth loves you, but you are too blind to see it!"
Bones looked taken aback "Booth? He doesn't love me…"
Nicole laughed "Alright let's play a game should we. When you are in trouble, who is the first person there, and the one who saves you?"
"Booth…"
"And who holds you when you get rejected, or when old wounds are reopened?"
"Booth…"
"Who takes care of you, more then you take care of yourself?"
"Booth."
"Who always makes sure you are happy?"
"Booth."
"Who punches anyone who messes with you, even if you insist you can take care of yourself?"
"Booth! Booth! Booth! Ok I get it!" Bones said sighed crossing her arms over her chest, careful not to hurt her wrist
Nicole smiled seeing that she could hurt her cousin physically and emotionally "Do you love him back?" she asked
Bones avoided her cousins' hateful jade gaze as she felt tears well into her eyes "I don't know…" she said weakly
"Let's play this game again! Whose arms do you run into when you are scared?"
Bones didn't answer already having said the answer 20 times in the last 5 minutes
"Who is the reason that you get up in the morning?"
Still silence
"Who do you dream about?"
Nothing
"Who does your mind drift too when you have a spare moment?"
Bones sighed and looked to her feet she felt the tears about to spill over her eyelids, but she knew she couldn't let Nicole see her cry. She would take that to her advantage
"Say it!" she screamed jumping down and shoving the barrel of her gun into Bones' temple "SAY HIS NAME!"
Bones froze "Booth…" she whispered
"What about him?" she hissed
"I…I…" Bones said shivering slightly
"Say it!" Nicole hissed again
"I love him…" she whispered
"I didn't hear that? What did you say?"
Bones glanced to her and stood up straight "So this is how you killed Layla right? You tore her up emotionally before killing her physically."
"I don't believe that was my question…" Nicole said pulling back the metal sticking out to load the bullet into the barrel, ready to be fired. "What did you say? About Booth…Say it louder."
Bones smiled and said confidently "I love him."
"Do you think love is worth dying for?" Nicole asked
"I don't know what you mean?" Bones said
"You said you loved Booth…is he worth dying for?" Nicole asked
Bones nodded "Yes."
"So Love is worth dying for…" Nicole said "Well that's good, because that's exactly how you are going out." She said walking away before pointing the gun her Bones' heart
Bones sighed and knew she won't be seeing the next day, Booth wouldn't be making it in time, and he will never know what she confessed earlier. She thought about all the things she could miss with Booth, how much she wanted to be with him, but knew she couldn't be because partners were forbidden to be in a romantic relationship. She remembered all the times she woke up sweating and panting from a dream she had of Booth. She remembered how scary it was to see him in pain, and how pleasurable it was to have him kiss her in her dreams. She wondered if he would kiss her the same way they had kissed before, when Caroline made them and noted that he probably wouldn't, it would be deeper, passionate, full of…love. He was the reason that she cracks all of these cases, he was her purpose, and he kept her sane…well most of the time. Bones felt sadness pick at her heart like a crow picking at the decomposing skin of a corpse, she wouldn't be able to tell Booth any of this, and a tear rolled down her eyes as she imagined how sad he would be if he saw her on the floor where she was standing, drowning in her own blood. But then she stopped herself 'I don't even know if he feels the same'. And then her sadness got even more saddening as it dawned on her that he would move on. He couldn't care for her the way she cared for him, he set the line, and he kept it. If it was her choice, she would have crossed that line long ago…if she realized her feelings for him. Bones was brought back to reality when she heard Nicole clear her throat
"So this is how it ends…" Nicole said holding the gun pointing towards Bones' chest
"So this is how it ends." She said standing where she was waiting for the pain in her heart to be flushed away and replaced with a new pain, but this pain would be from a bullet, and this pain would only last seconds…because after those few seconds, she would be dead…
Nicole nodded and held her finger to the trigger and slowly pulled it…
