Two chapters in two weeks. I'm on a roll.

OK so for this chapter, I am not planning any dialogue, this is just the thoughts of the two of them.

Enjoy and tell me how I did. I do not own.


All she could do was think about how badly she screwed this one up. It was all over unless she could find the right way to fix it but it wasn't something that was going to be easy. She knew she had hurt him twice, the second time was especially her fault because she felt she had initiated it in some way, shape, or form. It was difficult to realize for her that she had broken his heart twice, and she wanted to fix it.

She didn't want to live the rest of her life regretting not taking that jump and saying yes to had always been there for her and she hadn't realized how much that really meant to her. He had helped her grow overall as a person. She felt as if she had taken advantage of how much he really cared about her.

She looked at the clock and saw it was way to late to call him but she was getting to the point that she was willing to call anyways. She knew he would answer but she didn't know what she would say anyways, so it would be pointless. She sat up, going to get up, then decided she didn't want to up and flopped back down on to her pillow.

She was horribly confused and she didn't like that. It should have been so simple, she thought but she now knew it wasn't. Complications in her mind seemed to be keeping her from making a decision and she knew the longer she waited the more complicated this situation was going to become.

Booth, she thought. He was her rock, not literally of course, but he had always been there for her, even when, in her mind, she didn't deserve him. She almost wished she hadn't left for Maluku. She had been running. She knew it and she was sure he did too. They literally had tried to go to opposite sides of the earth.

Of course then there was him heading to Iraq as well, so it seemed weird how they were really closer then they realized. Letters weren't sent that she wished she would have. She had forced herself to forget and convince herself she didn't feel anything at all for him. In any way.

She realized that that's all she had done. She hadn't actually convinced herself, only tried and she was pretty sure that it hadn't worked. For the longest time she had known that she loved him, it was the matter of telling him that was the hard part to her.

She hadn't been sure until they told Sweets about their 'real' first case, that she knew he felt the same way. But she hadn't been prepared for what he had to say and it had knocked her off her feet. She had been shocked and she knew what she had said made no sense but she could tell he didn't catch it.

She had said that she was a scientist and they don't change, but that's what scientists' do. They change the world around them and in turn change themselves. She knew that she had lied to him but she wanted to fix it. She was going to fix it. She picked up the phone and dialed a familiar and memorized number. It started to ring.

Booths' sleep was anything but sound. He woke up multiple times in the hour and eventually decided to just stay awake. He went out to the living room and layed down on the couch, not really wanting to doze back off.

He started thinking about how much things should be different, about how he should be with her right now, not at his place dreading to see her. He wanted to be able to show her how much he loved her, but thats isn't what she wants.

He felt as if he had no right to wallow or even blame her but he wanted to blame someone, but not her.

Relationships have usually been an easy thing for him, that was until he fell in love with Dr. Temperance Brennan. She was everything he usually never went for. He realized that he hadn't had a choice because everything about her had been confusing. Everything except that he had loved everything about her from their first case.

That fight they told sweets about, he thought about it everyday since it had happened. She had slapped him, that's something you don't forget. This was all to complicated for him.

He wanted to change this situation himself but he didn't want to seem to her like he was trying to push her in to something she didn't want.

He looked at the clock. He needed sleep but as he started to walk back to his bedroom, the phone started to ring.
