Dear Bones,

You know my brother Jared, right? Well, sometimes he's really a pain in the ass.

I absolutely didn't like him taking you on a date, okay? I mean, I talk a good game, but I didn't get any fucking sleep that night, because I was so worried that he might try to get in your pants. I know you think you can take care of yourself, but he's not to be trusted around beautiful women. No way...absolutely not!

I talked to Angela today, so I found out that he wasn't successful on that front, thank God. Listen, you're much too precious to just be another notch in his bedpost, and anyway, just so you know, he's the wrong BOOTH to be with, okay?

I know he fed you some crazy lines about me, alright?

Like saying I'm a loser.

And that I'm afraid of success.

And that me acting like that drove my old man crazy.

That made me so angry...I wanted to tear his damn head off, okay?

And as a thank you for screwing me over, I had to rescue him again and then I lost the credit for that big Rico case. Just great, right? I mean, there I was, just so furious because of his stupidity, and pissed off at you because you believed him.

So I'm sorry that I yelled at you, since he was the one to blame for everything, but sometimes my temper gets the better of me.

We celebrated my birthday later at the Founding Fathers.

Thank you for the great birthday toast by the way.. I was flattered. You said some really nice things about me, and it was like a band-aid on my wounded soul. Knowing that's how you see me? Yeah, it made me all warm and gooey inside.

Later I told Jared that he had to stop drinking, and that this would be the last time I'd bail him out. I don't think that he really got the message, though. He's such a stubborn kid sometimes.

And just so you know, when we sat on that bench in front of the founding fathers and I told you that my dad drank, it's because I don't want to keep any secrets from you. You deserve to know the truth, and I know that I can trust you with these things.

Anyway, it was nice to sit there with you and share that piece of cake. In the end, it looks like that was the best part of my birthday.

I felt so close to you, and that's the best gift I could get.

Thank you

Booth

AN: Didn't we all held our breath that Brennan would fall for Jared, I did. Happy that she was smart enough to wait for the right Booth.

Tomorrow is mother's day and I haven't seen my daughter in person for month because of the corona virus. If you want to make me feel better, please leave a review.
