Thought I would do another one, because since 'The Only Exception' I can't help but see Bones characters in all my songs xD it's a nightmare. But it'll pass... right?
Same old deal... I just jotted it down, and I want to know your opinion!
This one has nothing to do with the other. They're just gonna be a group of one-shots, all unrelated.
Booth is offered the army but Brennan isn't offered any other job. This one is meant to break heart, because, as a great band once said (aar), breaking's what the heart is for.
I don't own Bones or these songs, strangely enough...
Brennan sat, watching her phone. Booth wanted to go, to the army. He said that he hadn't, but then he had said that he was going to think about it.
She jumped as her phone vibrated before ringing.
OK... she would meet Booth at the reflecting pool.
But he sounded terrible... what if-? No... no.
It was dark; the moonlight shone upon the water, just like the stars.
The face he was wearing ilustrated his voice over the phone... he looked terrible.
She stood in front of him and waited for him to speak.
He looked at his feet, and then at her.
"I'm so tired of being here, suppressed by all of your childish fears," he sounded bitter. "And if you have to leave, I wish that you would just leave, your presence still lingers here and it won't leave me alone,"
"I don't know what you-"
"When you cried, I'd wipe away all of your tears, when you'd scream, I'd fight away all of your fears. And Bones, I held your hand through all of these years. But you still have all of me."
Brennan knew how he felt. But she would never tell.
Silence.
Until he spoke once more.
"Please, please forgive me," he paused, "but I won't be home again."
"Oh..." Brennan felt like someone had taken her heart by force. It was horrible. She felt part of her disappear, suddenly, and leave a gap. But she wouldn't let it show. And Booth could tell.
"Maybe someday you'll have woke up, and, barely conscious, you'll say to no one: 'Isn't something missing?'"
He waited, but Brennan was quiet. She was even frowning, but then she stopped.
"You won't cry for my absence, I know - You forgot me long ago. Am I that unimportant...? Am I so insignificant to you?"
"No, don't. You're not Booth, you're my best friend-"
"Bones, even though I'd be sacrificed, you won't try for me, not now. Though I'd die to know you love me, I'm all alone. Isn't someone missing me?"
"Booth…"
"I know what you do to yourself… and if I bleed out there, I'll bleed, knowing you don't care," he laughed, tears of sadness.
Brennan felt like crying, but she kept it in.
"And if I sleep just to dream of you, and wake without you there… Isn't something missing? Isn't something..." he stopped and decided to try one last time. He took his hand and placed it on her heart, his other hand in hers. "Isn't something missing?" he asked desperately.
She looked up at him, but he knew the look in her eyes.
"I'm sorry…" she whispered.
He saw that it was pointless.
"But you were going to move on..." she tried. "I couldn't-"
"Bones, your face it haunts my once pleasant dreams, your voice it chased away all the sanity in me. I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone, that this is never going to be... you have no idea. But though you're still with me, I've been alone all along." He hugged her and held her tight, not wanting to let go, but knowing that he should. She stayed still, frozen. He breathed in, kissed her on her forehead and left.
