The room was empty and dark. Its sole occupant sat in the floor against the far wall. It was his prison, and yet it was the only place he felt safe. The room she had once occupied, the room that would forever be empty.
Her life had ended so quickly and so suddenly. It had taken them all by shock. One single night had messed up everything for all of them. One was lost entirely, two had been put in their own world, and one had been separated from everything that had once been important to him.
For hours a day he'd go and sit in the room, separated from the two others. The two moleculars had turned to each other for comfort, and in the process had managed to exclude him from it all. He was alone in the world with no chance of coming back from his private hell. It was nothing that any one could sympathize with. Neither of the others knew what his true relationship with the woman had been, and there was no way that they could understand what he was going through.
Each day he prayed that it was only a night mare, that he would wake up and find that she wasn't really gone, that she was still there. It was the one hopeful possibility that kept him alive. He was not able to function properly with out her. He needed her for everything.
In his hand he held a small piece of paper that he flipped over and over between his fingers. The debate raged on in his mind. He had one choice to make, once choice could set it all right again. Bring him back the woman that he loved, bring him back another chance at life.
Flashback.
"If you ever need anything call me." the girl smiled at him. "Even if it is just to go back in time to keep from leaving me." she handed him a small piece of paper with her phone number scribbled on it.
"Thank you." Brennan took the paper from her. "Hopefully I wont have to put you back in danger."
"Don't worry about it. If you ever choose to call me I know it will be for a good reason."
End flashback.
He got up and walked out of the empty room heading for the nearest phone.
