Author's Note: Emotional chapter for me to write and now I feel all depressed! Regardless, I hope y'all enjoy!
When we arrived back at the Jeffersonian, I sprinted through the doors to the lab.
Everything was exactly the way I left it and I sighed with relief.
"Ah, Doctor Brennan!" I turned around to see Cam hurrying over to me. "I am glad to see that you've recovered."
I wasn't about to tell her that my head was pounding. She would probably send me home.
Again.
"How are things here?" I asked quickly. "Nothing happened last night?"
"No, sweetie." I froze hearing Angela's voice. She stepped away from her office door with a huge smile on her face. A smile that I was 100% sure that Logan had something to do with. "Everything's fine."
"I need to talk to you," I said icily. "Now."
She and I stepped into my office and I promptly shut the door.
"Brennan, what's—?" She looked confused and I didn't have time for any of her games.
"Are you in a relationship with Logan?" I questioned frankly.
She didn't answer but simply looked away.
"I—"
"Ange, answer me!" I shouted because for some reason I was angry.
"No." She whispered.
The anger increased from anger to fury.
"Liar!" I screamed.
"Tempe—!" She started to say, but I interrupted.
"I saw you Angela!" Her face paled. "I saw you and him last night kissing!"
"Sweetie, he and I . . ." Her voice disappeared at the end of her sentence and I began to shake my head. Why wasn't she talking to me? Didn't best friends talk to each other about things like this? It was from my understanding that friends told their friends when they were dating someone. Why wasn't she talking to me?
"Angela, I'm scared." I confessed, feeling waves of worry washing all over me. "I'm scared that you're going to get hurt and then I'll lose you too."
She looked up at me and I saw pity enter her hazel eyes. She helped me sit down on the couch.
"Temperance," She told me seriously. "Logan and I are dating. I was going to tell you later today and I'm sorry for keeping it a secret and denying it from you."
"Did you not trust me?" I whispered, afraid of the answer.
"No, no!" She quickly interjected. "I do trust you, more than anyone!" She looked away again. "I just wasn't sure in myself, I guess."
I grabbed her hands and squeezed them tightly to get her attention.
"He's a man from an alternate universe, Angela." I informed her gently. "When this whole thing is over, he'll leave you."
She nodded.
"He and I are aware of that."
"He could kill you too!" I yelled.
"So could Booth!" She retorted.
"And you still want to take the risk?" I asked incredulously.
Angela met my gaze and I could see passion in her eyes.
"Temperance, any love is a risk." She paused to make sure I understood her words. "It's just a matter of how strong you are to take that risk and I am in love with Logan, claws and all."
"How can you be sure?" I persisted. "You just met him and it's logically—"
"Love isn't about logic." She corrected me gently. "Love is a feeling that compels you to do things you wouldn't normally do."
"But—!"
"I appreciate your concern, Brennan." She smiled. "I really do, but I have to believe in what my heart is telling me regardless of the consequences."
She patted my hand and stood up, but paused by the doorway.
"Ange?"
"I hope you'll understand one day." Then with a flash of a sad grin, she left.
And I was left there sitting alone, insanely worried that my best friend's heart was going to be broken and that no one was going to be able to pick of the shattered fragments.
I saw Angela talk to Logan through the window and I sighed.
What was I going to do?
