Brennan ran down the road to the diner. She couldn't believe what she'd said to Booth. true she had been thinking it but she hadn't wanted to say that to him. She wasn't even sure that was what she wanted. She just couldn't handle it all. She opened the door and looked around. Brennan quickly found them sitting in the booth where she normally sat. she went over to them.
"Oh girls thank god! Never do that to me again you hear me. I was so worried!"
"Sorry mom we just thought you two needed to talk." Trinity said. Brennan smiled and sat in beside her.
"We do hun, we need to talk to the two of you!"
"Sorry." She looked at her other daughter and something caught in her throat.
"It's ok. Lets just head back ok!" Trinity bit her lip.
"Can we finish this?" she gestured to the two plates of pie between the two of them.
"Follow me back when you're ready." Brennan tucked a strand of hair behind Trinity's ear. She then got up and left them, looking back in the window on her way and saw the two of them laughing.

"Bren is he…" Angela came into the office and came face to face with Booth. "…Booth!" she smiled, he stood up and hugged her.
"Yes Ange I'm here." She stepped back
"You're by yourself." She frowned slightly.
"The girls are at the diner and Bones… needed space." He sighed sitting back down.
"She didn't take it as well as your hoped then." She sat down beside him.
"No… Ange I was so sure it was the right thing to do! That keeping us alive was more important then being happy. I figured that in a couple of years we could all come back together again." he looked down at the floor.
"Why cant you now?"
"She can barely look at me Ange! She just… She just told me she doesn't even want me in her life anymore!" he stood up and looked away from her towards the shelves.
"Oh Booth you know she didn't mean it!" she followed him over and put an hand on his arm. "She's probably just in shock…"
"This is Bones Angela! I know her. I've hurt her way to much!"
"Well yes you should have told her the truth! In her complex mind, that not even she understands, you broke up with her. After all you two had been through together you left…"
"But I…" He turned back to her.
"I know that's not what you thought but she had no way of knowing that Booth! you just need to give her time. And not another fifteen years. You are fifty you know!"
"I'm fourty-five Ange!"
"That's what I said nearly fifty!" She smiled.
"I've missed you Ange!"
"Move on G-man I'm still way out of your league!" she laughed and kissed his cheek. "But I must admit I missed you too! I was getting fairly sick of just letters." He sat back down on the couch and she turned to the door just in time to see a brown ponytail pass the door. She flew after her.

"Bren you heard?" Angela followed her up the steps to the platform.
"Every word." Brennan stopped and turned around.
"He meant well!" she said.
"He should have told me!"
"He didn't want to he was hurting…"
"And I wasn't!" she was nearly shouting now.
"I know you were. I was here with you. but I was also talking to him. It nearly killed him Bren."
"It's his fault!"
"Bren you heard him. He honestly thought it was the right thing to do!"
"Well it wasn't! he left me! And he left his daughter. Basically he did to Trin what my parents did you me and Russ!"
"Yes that's exactly what he did!" Angela stepped towards her. "He left to save her life!"
"I… Ange…" Brennan frowned.
"Exactly sweetie." Angela grinned.
"I hate it when you do that!" Brennan turned back and went back down the stair.
"What?" Angela's gaze followed her.
"Make sense of things I can't understand." She called back.
Hey sorry it's taken so long for an update!! But school's kinda piling up on me…. Ok for the sake of this story Brennan and Booth were about five years younger when they met in my story then they were when they "actually" met. And I know she probably wouldn't have been old enough to be a anthropologist and it really doesn't fit in but lets just go with it (",) thanks for reading!! Reviews always appreciated!!
