Hey everyone! Thanks for all the reviews I got; they're extremely appreciated!
… Okay, I'm extremely sorry about saying that I would use a picture of David Boreanaz to protect me from getting rotten fruit on me! I have no reason to use a picture of him as protection from fruit; I mean have you looked at him lately?!?
'Mr. Glass': I hope you're kidding… You are kidding aren't you? Aren't you?!? Because if you are, I'm scared a little… (runs off to hide)
KMartine: Are you still there? You haven't replied back, did the message get to you? …(sighs)
lisaluvsfox: I can't, if I block anonymous reviews, then my friend can't review…
Sidleidol03: Where have you been? I haven't heard from you since Chapter 5 or 6. I usually got a review from you… (wipes tear) This is what you get when you don't review! (sticks out tongue) At least you still have faith in our cute couple!
…Uh… That's it; I have nothing else to say… On with the show!
Disclaimer: Don't own them… He's still not in my closet! … Don't own the song, just borrowing…
Chapter 9: Lessons Learned
There's some things that I regret
Some words I wish had gone unsaid
Some starts that had some better endings
Been some bad times I've been through
Damage I could not undo
Some things I wish I could do all over again
But it don't really matter
Life gets that much harder
It makes you that stronger, oh
Some pages turned
Some bridges burned
But there were Lessons Learned
Brennan let the tears fall freely. Was he really going to turn it in? She didn't want Booth out of her life forever. She could try to stop him. What would she say? Would he listen? She's the one who called it quits; yet, she's the one who wants to crawl back to him, would it be pathetic? Brennan felt like she was the one who cheated on Booth, not the other way around…
Brennan picked up her cell phone from the ground and called a number on speed dial.
"Hello."
"Hey, Ange. It's Brennan."
"Brennan! Is something wrong? I heard yelling in the lab, do you think I deserve an explanation?"
"…Yeah. You do." Brennan took a deep breath and told her everything. She told Angela about the kiss to the letter asking to be reassigned. When Brennan was done, she got the reaction she saw coming … a pissed Angela.
"That son of a bitch! I can't believe Booth was making out with our boss in your office. Sweetie, I talk to you later, I have to care of something."
Angela hung up before Brennan could say something. What just happened? Brennan thought to herself. She didn't know what Angela was going to do, but she knew it involved Booth…
From every tear that had to fall from my eyes
From every day I wondered how I get through the night
From every change life has thrown me
I'm thankful for every break in my heart
I'm grateful for every scar
Some pages turned
Some bridges burned
But there were Lessons Learned
If this is right, then why does it feel so wrong? Booth thought. It had been a while since his phone call from Brennan, Booth was a wreck. Just one kiss screwed up his relationship with the girl he loved. He couldn't do a thing except try to forget what Brennan said, which was his own Mission Impossible. Booth got off of his couch and was just about to grab a bottle of vodka, hoping to wash away the memories… All of a sudden, a knock on the door stopped him; Booth opened the door finding Cam (She's bbbbaaaccckkk…) leaning on the doorway.
"Cam?" Booth didn't know why, but he was surprised to see her there. Cam didn't look upset about what happened between them, how she broke up Booth and Brennan's relationship; she looked … happy.
"We should talk … I think you know about what."
"Yeah … Come in." Booth opened the door a little more to let her in.
Easier than I thought, it can't hurt that bad, can it? Cam thought as she made her way onto Booth's couch.
Booth decided to get this over this over with, so he said, "Camille, I know we had a past, a not-so- long- ago relationship, but there's nothing left between us worth pursuing…"
Cam was in shock, she knew he meant it; it was really over. She sighed and said, "Okay, look I'm sorry. I just … hope you and Dr.Brennan still have a chance, even though we don't." Cam got up and left, closing the door on her way out…
There's mistakes I've made
Some chances I just threw away
Some roads I never should have taken
Been some signs I didn't see
Hearts that I hurt needlessly
Some wounds that I wish I could have one more chance to mend
But it don't make no difference
The past can't be rewritten
You get the life you're given, oh
Some pages turned
Some bridges burned
But there were Lessons Learned
Brennan put her cell phone in her pocket after talking to Angela. She wondered what Angela was going to do Booth. She didn't know how, but her mind wandered back to Booth and Cam making out in her office. Brennan was already walking towards her car as a small tear ran down her cheek.
I always screw up every relationship, Brennan thought. They always leave me, making up a retarded excuse why. But… this relationship felt so …right. Now, it's screwed up and I have to spend another night alone…the sexual tension was there, I thought being something more than friends would be better…
Brennan looked up at the sky. The moon was big and bright with stars cluttering around it. She didn't know how, but Brennan was relaxed and calm just by staring out into the night. She noticed her car in eye's distance. She got in, started it, and began driving. She didn't know where she was going, but she felt better knowing she had control over something…
And all the things that break you
All the things that make you strong
You can't change the past because it's gone-
And you just gotta move on because it's over-
Lessons Learned
Booth took another sip of his beer, trying to forget this crappy day. His thoughts making him feel even more and more depressed… A loud knock on his door interrupted his depression. He opened the door to a pissed Angela.
"Give me one good reason why I shouldn't kick you're ass."
"Because I feel crappy enough as it is…"
"…Hurts that bad, huh?" (And you thought was actually going to be mean to Booth, nope, I'm keeping her nice.) Booth nodded. "Cam came by."
"And…?"
"She was trying to purposely break me and Bones up because she couldn't hold on to the pass."
"So …what are you going to do?'
"About?" If Booth didn't feel like an ass before, he sure did now.
"How are you going to get Brennan back?"
"I have no idea."
"Just leave it to me."
"What are going to do?" Booth yelled this out into the hallway, just as Angela began walking away.
"You'll see, trust me."
Booth watched Angela pull out her cell phone and dial a number; he was also able to hear part of the conversation.
"Hello."
"Hey, it's Ange. Listen, can you do me a favor?"
"Sure, what is it?'
"Well it's-"
That's all Booth heard, before Angela turned a corner. He walked back inside his apartment, and closed the door. He soon opened a window and stared out into the nightlife, until something caught his eye.
Booth saw Brennan's car pull up. He noticed Brennan's red eyes and felt worse for what happened. Brennan caught Booth staring at him. They made eye contact. Never breaking the stare, they were wondering what they should do next… Booth saw a tear glisten in the moonlight as it ran down Brennan's face. She broke the stare and drove away …

I did it again, I left you a cliffy!! To be honest, when I wrote the last paragraph, I almost cried after rereading it! Who do think Angela called? I'm stuck. Can I get suggestions on what you think Angela's plan should be? It's appreciated and you'll be mentioned.
