Hey, everyone! I've decided to continue the story! Thanks to NakedQuidditchFan, their review encouraged me to continue, don't worry you guys have helped too! I mean I write because I enjoy it, not for the praise or criticism! That's why I joined and I should stick to it! … Now, where was I? Ah, yes, getting Booth and Brennan back together! I plan on having 14 or 15 chapters total! But who said that Brennan would be with Booth again by then… (evil laugh and snickers) :-) HA HA!

By the way, I wanna say 'Congrats' to Carrie Underwood who's 'Some Hearts' album won for 'Album of the Year' at the 2006 Billboard Music Awards! You deserved it Carrie, along with all the awards you've won too!

To KMartine: Nicknames are helpful aren't they!! Who knew that my brother's annoyance would come up with a good nickname, better than my penname! By the way, you can hear parts of Chris Daughtry's CD at his website! It's ' Though I'm not sure how much they give to listen to! …Sorry, just suggesting! … Thanks for reviewing! (Would I be spoiling the last song to the CD if I typed the lyrics to 'What About Now?')

Disclaimer: Don't own show or the song …blah, blah, blah … No, Booth's not stashed in my closet! (Though, maybe I should try that… :-) )

That has got to be the longest author note!! … Fine, fine, you'll get your story… In the words of Temperance Brennan from 'The Woman In the Sand,' "All right, just stop being so bossy…"

Chapter 8: Mistakes and Heartbreaks Part 2

Temperance Brennan got into her car, started it, and drove. She didn't care where she was going; she just wanted to find somewhere to contemplate. She drove for a while, 'till she found herself parked in front near the park she and Booth went walking through on their first date. It'll have to do, Brennan thought. She got out of her car and began walking down the path familiar to her…

Shadows fill an empty heart

As love is fading

From all the things that we are

And are not saying

Can we see beyond the scars

And make it to the dawn

Change the colors of the sky

And open up to

The ways you made me feel alive

The ways I loved you

For all the things that never died

To make it through the night

Love will find you

Bones' words hit Booth cold. He did what he was told and left. He was pissed at Cam, a little at Bones for what she said, and also pissed at himself for letting this happen. His knuckles began turning white as he drove home, once he noticed, he began loosening his grip. He was soon at his apartment; he got out of his car and began towards his place. He unlocked the door, and quickly pulled out a beer. He took a sip and began thinking of an option he never considered. Even though she's gone, I still want what's best for her, even though I may not be it… Booth took out a pen and a piece of paper and began writing…

What about now

What about today

What if you're making me

All that I was meant to be

What if our love never went away

What if it's lost behind

Words we could never find

Baby, before it's too late

What about now

Brennan felt like shit for what happened between her and Booth. She screwed up every relationship somehow; she just couldn't figure how. Now she was lonely, confused, and cold! Perfect, Brennan thought, I screwed up the relationship with a great guy who always there for me. He was always there to catch me when I fell… Now I'm on my own and alone. Brennan stopped in front of a huge pond, picked up a few pebbles, and tossed them into the pond, lost in her thoughts again…

The ripples stretch far, but are soon restricted. I can relate. I mean, I'm good at what I do, but with relationships, I'm restricted. Tears swelled up in Brennan's eyes, she didn't stop them. They trickled down her face slowly and smoothly. She was once again all alone in this cold, cruel world…

The sun is breaking in your eyes

To start a new day

This broken can still survive

With a touch of your grace

As shadows fade into the light

I am by your side where love will find you

Booth threw the down the pen. He realized he had one thing to do to finish the cruel deed. …Brennan had been crying for a few minutes. She was still standing in front of the pond, thinking until her cell phone rang.

"Brennan." Her voice was shaky and hushed from crying.

"Bones, it's me, don't hang up. I need to tell you something.

"What, how much you enjoyed the kiss?"

Booth bit his tongue to stop the comment from escaping his mouth. "Even though we're through, I still want what's best for you. So I've decided to-" Booth couldn't say it.

"Do what?"

Booth took a deep breath and said it. "I've decided to hand in a letter asking to be reassigned."

Booth was left listening to the dial tone…

What about now, now that we're here

Now that we've come this far, just hold on

There is nothing to fear

For I am right beside you

For all my life I am yours

Aw… I left you a cliffy! Please do not throw the rotten fruit that's in the barrel right beside you (tempting isn't it?!?)! I really don't want the smell of rotten fruit in my hair! I don't even have something to protect myself! Unless you count a really, really, REALLY hot picture of David Boreanaz a type of shield (I hope you don't cause if you do…)!

Even though it's short, at least it's better than thinking I've stopped the story! Lyrics: 'What About Now' by DAUGHTRY! It's this rock/ love song and it's so good!

Now, the hit the button and express yourself! ... Remember, no rotten fruit:-) LOL!
