Chapter 11:The Break
Hi (waves sheepishly). I'm so so so so so so sorry for the super late update!
Disclaimer:I do not own Bones
SORRY
When Hannah got home she quickly explained to Booth her visit to Brennan's apartment. Then she kissed him. Distracted Booth dint think of Bones once.
Brennan sat in her apartment drinking her third beer, crying. Stop it! she chided her drunken self Do Not cry over Booth! Stop! Don't cry!
She sat there like that for an hour. Yelling at herself both aloud and mentally. After two more beers she picked up her phone and went through her contacts. She called Matt, she knew he was home. He had dropped him off after his conversation with Booth at the hospital. The phone rang six times. On the fifth ring she told her self to hang up. She didn't.
"Hello?" Matt's groggy voice filled her ear.
"Matt! It's me, Temp!" Brennan said. Her speech, louder then necessary, slurred slightly.
"Temp? It's late. Why are you calling?" He asked.
"'Cause I'm drunk and alone! I'm bored and I need company!" She exclaimed.
"Okay I'll be right there. What's your address?" he said getting dressed.
"No you can't drive! Your arm is broken! I'll come and pick you up!" Brennan said, thinking it was a brilliant plan. She swayed slightly when she stood.
"No!" Matt yelled, "Its okay. Your drunk. I'll get a cab,"
Brennan opening another beer said, "I need someone to drink with!" Then hung up giggling.
Matt meanwhile got a cab and drove to her apartment.
Bren was still giggling when she heard a knock on the door. Getting up she stumble to the door. When she registered who it was she pulled him in her apartment.
Tugging on Matt's collar she pulled him close and whispered "Hi," giggling.
"Hi," Matt whispered, "Why are we whispering?".
"Because I don't usually drink this much," Bren whispered.
Matt brought Brennan to the couch and sat next to her. "Why are you drinking?" he asked.
Brennan took the last swig of her beer, got really close to Matt's face and whispered "Shhhhh. It's a secret," then plopped back down in the couch giggling.
Matt laughing got up and said "I'm getting a beer. Want one?"
Brennan simply nodded her eyes bright with an idea. She shooed Matt into the kitchen and walked back into her lunching room.
While Matt was getting two beers he hears a loud crash and Brennan's uncharacteristic "Oopsy Daisy!".
When he walked back into the room, Brennan's CDs were strewn across the floor. Bren was turning up the radio really loud. Cyndi Lauper's Girls Just Wanna Have Fun filled the room. Laughing Matt watched as Bren started dancing kicking aside CDs. She was standing in front of Matt shaking her head to the beat when she belted out the first couple of lines along with Cydni. Matt was mesmerized any her beautiful voice. Her words were sung strong, clear and passionate.
I come home in the morning light
My mother says when you gonna live your life right
Oh mother dear we're not the fortunate ones
Brennan smiled widely at Matt, her eyes twinkling. She was happy, the happiest she had been since their lunch. She kept singing, bouncing up and down holding Matt's good hand.
The phone rings in the middle of the night,
My father yells "What you gonna do with your life?"

While Bren was singing the last lines Matt pulled her into a hug and spun her around. When she was done singing Brennan started laughing.
Together they spent the night dancing, laughing and drinking.
When Brennan woke in the morning she groaned. Her head was killing her. The small weak rays of light streaming in her room from the blinds worsened the ache. She groaned again. She lay there for fibe minutes before getting up to take medicine.
When she walked into her kitchen she heard a groan come from her couch. Remembering the night before she smiled. Pouring two glasses of water and two pills she walked into her living room. Sitting next to Matt he handed him a glass an two pills. She swallowed hers, as did Matt.
"Thanks," Matt said after a couple minutes a silence. Their headaches had dulled enough to talk.
Nodding Brennan turned to Matt and smiled "Well that was fun!"
Matt laughed lightly. "What now?"he asked.
"Movie?" Brennan suggested.
Matt nodded. Brennan got up an picked up one of the movies, Finding Nemo, Parker and Booth bought her. She put it in her DVD player, pressed play and sat back down.
Booth walked into the Jeffersonian Medico-Legal Lab nervous. He walked over to Boned' office only to find it empty. Confused he walked to Cam's office.
"Hey Cam? Where's Bones?" he asked her.
Looking up from her paperwork Camille sighed, "Dr. Brennan called me last night saying she needed today off. I gave it to her considering all the extra hours she does,"
Worried Booth said, "Why? Is she alright?"
Cam sighed again, "She gave no reason but she sounded fine to me," looking back down at her paperwork.
Booth saw he was being dismissed so he walked towards his car. He drove to Brennan's apartment.
Before he was about to knock he heard a laugh. "That's odd"he mumbled, knocking on the door. He heard a groan, or two?
Matt and Bren were halfway through the movie when a loud knock echoed throughout the apartment. They both groaned at both the noise and interruption.
"I got it," Brennan said, standing.
when she opened the door she sighed.
"Hiya Bones! Why are you not in work?" He asked.
"I took the day off Agent Booth," she said trying to dismiss him. She failed.
"Why? Are you okay? Are you sick? What happened?" Booth asked, noticing her slightly pale face and the bags under her eyes.
"I'm fine," she sighed. Just then Matt decided to walk up behind her.
"Hey man," he said casually.
"What's he doing here?" Booth asked.
Brennan sighed so Matt explained, "She called me last night drunk and invites me over. I came and then got drunk to. Fell asleep on her couch and woke up like forty or so minutes ago,"
"Oh, I should go now," Booth said awkwardly.
"yes," Brennan said, "Bye," then closed the door.
Brennan and Matt continued watching the movie while Booth asked himself "What happened?" over their laughter.
Thoughts? Review!
Sorry again!
Bye
