Angela felt the world crashing down on her. Her entire body was numb and it felt as if her heart had broke in a million little pieces.
After Brennan had said that she didn't think they could remain friends any longer, Angela had been so shocked that she just stood there motionless; speechless. She had honestly not expected for things to end this way; sure, she knew things would not have been easy and that it would take some time to work things out, but she never fathomed the fact that their friendship would end.
The thing about this whole situation that hurt her the most is the fact that everything that had happened was entirely her fault. She was the one who started the argument- unintentionally, but still,- that lead to some harsh things being said from both parties. She was also the one who did not tell Bren about the fight after finding out about her memory loss. Yes; of one thing Angela is certain of: the fact that that their friendship was over was her fault.
And then, when Bren had told her that she didn't think they could be friends anymore, she just stood there, gaping at her like an idiot. She did not say anything to try to make things better, and all in all, she did not even attempt to try and salvage their friendship. As she mentioned before, this was all her fault.
Doing her best to ward of her tears, Angela hailed a cab and gave the driver the address to the only place that could help her during a situation such as this.
As she got out of the cab and paid the driver, Angela could not help but feel a sense of calm at the fact of where she was. She took a deep breath and walked up the steps of the mansion and rang the bell. Usually she would just walk right on in, but because it was so late, she figured the security system would already be on, and she really did not feel like dealing with the cops who would come, without a doubt, to check out the situation.
Before long she heard the sound of banging and grumbling coming from the other side of the doors. The door flew open and the man was about to yell at whoever had the nerve to come to the door at this hour of the night until he noticed who was there. His face softened at the sight of the love of his life obviously broken up about something, most likely Brennan.
He stepped to the side to allow Angela access to the inside of his giant home. Immediately, Angela through herself into his arms and began to cry as she mumbled into the crook of his neck, "I just need somebody right now. I'm sorry it's so late, but I just need you right now Jack."
Hodgins wrapped his arms around her in comfort and asked, "what is the matter Angie?"
Angela let out a sob and answered, "Brennan doesn't want to be friends anymore. And after what I said to her when we had the fight, I can't say I blame her. I guess this really proves that you have to be careful what you wish for."

Brennan honestly did not know what to think about the situation that had just transpired between her and Angela. She was furious at the fact that her supposed best friend had lied to her, but now she was regretting her decision to end the friendship
She could not help but think that there was a good possibility that she had screwed herself over in this situation. She never had many friends- face it; people did not want to be friends with a heartless, cold fish. Angela was the only exception to that. She never thought she would be lucky enough to have a best friend, let alone someone such as Angela that she loved almost as if she was her sister. Angela always listened to her problems, and a lot of the times made her feel more like a normal human being, rather than a cold, rational scientist.
Brennan let out a sob of despair. She had ruined the best thing- besides Booth- in her life. Because of her own stubborn pride she once again did not have a best friend. The saddest part about this is the that the fact that this is happening is all her fault. She was the one who made a big deal over the statement Angela had meant as a joke; she was the one who had got so upset that Angela had refused to tell her- most likely for her own good- about the fight. Just like always, it was her fault that this had happened.
More than anything she wanted to go to Angela and tell her that she was sorry and still wanted to be friends. However, she knew that was near impossible. What is done is done. They will never be able to go back to being friends- she had ruined all chances of that.
Letting out a deep sigh, Brennan hailed a cab and told the driver the address of the one place that could take her mind off of this situation. However, she was quite surprised at the sense of loneliness she felt as she pulled up beside the building of the Jeffersonian, the one place she could always feel at home- except now. Changing her mind, she asked the driver to take her to another address- home.
After she left the cab and paid the tab, she walks up to her second story apartment and carefully enters the bedroom as to not wake up Booth. She carefully slips off all her clothing and slides beneath the sheets.
Booth groaned as he felt someone climb into bed with him, and he asked, "how did it go?"
Brennan wrapped herself around him and told him, "I don't want to talk about it. I just want you to hold me right now."
Booth held on tightly to her and asked, a little worried, "what is the matter?"
Brennan sighed, knowing she would not be able to keep this from Booth and answered, "Angela and I are no longer friends."
Booth was shocked at his girlfriends' words. That was impossible; wasn't it?
He noticed a tear fall down her face and he knew she was stating the truth. She continued, "it is my fault. I just wish we could go back in time so that this never would have happened."
Booth looked at her and kissed her gently, wiping the tears from her eyes and said quietly in her ear, "just be careful what you wish for."
The next chapter is the last. Maybe I'll be able to get it up tomorrow- no, probably Monday (depending on how much partying occurs at my graduation party ;) I hope you are enjoying this and I would love to hear your opinions on what you thought of this story (and where you think I will take this next chapter).
