Losing Seeley Booth
She had lost him.
Day by day, he had drifted a little further from her. A little further from her, and a little closer to someone else. Someone who was like her opposite. Such two different people when compared. One blonde and smart, the other brunette and incredibly intelligent. Both long-legged, and both having one main thing in common: Seeley Booth.
She thought back to when she had started to become an issue. The other woman in Booths life. There was no exact date she could place the blame on, only the passing of time and the changing of hearts. She didn't know why she knew that woman would change them, perhaps it was all the silent moments he spoke of her that gave it away.
The real, gut-wrenching insecurity didn't really kick in until she saw her. More than the word "beautiful" could possibly represent. It made sense why Booth hardly spoke of her, she imagined that once he started, he may never be able to stop, or banish the memory of that striking woman from his mind.
She had lost him.
His heart no longer belonged to her. It was taken by someone else, someone who probably needed it more than her. The loss hurt nonetheless. Her own heart still ached from the emptiness he left behind.
She had cried when she finally accepted. When she had finally accepted the knowledge that her own mind had ignored for so long. She had cried long and hard before she even said goodbye to him. When she did say goodbye, it felt like she was releasing him from a duty, an obligation, and she cried for that feeling that shouldn't of been there. She had cursed her heavy tears when he had stared at her with a look of relief and sorrow, cursed them for showing him how torn she was. Torn and completely heartbroken.
He had sat there whileshe talked. Never breaking contact with the floor, never denying whatshe brought up, never denying how he felt about her. Never did he utter whatthey both knew, for the physical words were too harsh for this farewell.
Booth wasn't a man that cheated. He believed in all the right morals, had all the right values. He had never cheated on her, not physically, but his heart, his soul, it wasn't with her. It was with his 'Bones'. And so, with all the loveshe still had for him,she said goodbye, so he could have another kind of love that she could never give him.
Because in the end,she knew this was a caseshe would never win.
