Brennan:
Brennan didn't want to tell Booth anything, she didn't even know why she was still here. She could have left by now. She didn't want to talk about it. Why didn't he understand that?
"Brennan" His soft voice was calling to her but she hung her head low. She could smell his scent on the clothes he'd lent her and all around her, she was in his bedroom she noted with a slight sigh. She'd been in his apartment many times before but not in his room. "Bones please" His voice was laced with pain now and she sighed once more before lifting her head to find him crouched in front of her.
There eyes met in a piercing gaze, dancing with each other and trying to pull out the hidden emotions.
"I don't want to talk about it" She whispered, humiliation and rejection seeping out in her tone.
He raised a hand to the bruise on her face and gently (So slowly it was painful) allowed his fingers to glide across it, she aloud her head to hang again.
"Did he do this to you?" Her head shot up at his words. His gaze was full of passion now, his usually calm eyes full of fire. "He did didn't he. You cant deny it because he fucking did this to you." He stood sharply, checked his holster and shot from the room. "I'll kill him" His words were quiet but they were enough to spur Brennan into action. Leaping up and wincing she called out for him.
"Booth, no please wait" The fire in her lungs was almost unbearable now and she was almost positive that her rib was pressing into her lung. She wrapped her arm around her ribs but the pain was worse. She could hear him in the other room grabbing his coat and putting on his shoes. "Booth I…argh" She hissed in pain. There was no demand in her voice now, only sheer pain and need. Though he still hadn't left she could move no longer, screeching slightly in pain she slid down the wall to the floor. She'd caught his attention now and he flew back into the room. His eyes searching for hers. When he spotted her on the floor he dropped beside her and reached a hand out. "Bones? Are you alright?" She was becoming light headed though and was trying and failing to stay awake. She knew that she should have had him take her to the hospital the second he'd found her but she hadn't wanted it. She was a doctor and she could damn well survive on her own. Furious at herself for showing any weakness she pushed herself up off the floor ignoring the pain shooting through her body. She said nothing to Booth, instead choosing to turn and walk out into the lounge making a beeline for the front door.
"Don't you Dare" His harsh whisper was closer to her than she had previously thought and she wrapped her hand around the door knob. She knew she'd look ridiculous going home the way she looked but right there and then she decided she didn't care. "Don't. You. Dare."
"Pardon?"
"Don't even think about walking out on me. You need to go to a hospital Temperance." The way her real name angrily rolled from his lips made her almost release the moan she was holding in. He stepped closer. "You're always running away from me Brennan and enough is enough."
But Brennan wasn't done arguing. "You are most certainly not the boss of me Booth. I am a grown woman damn it, I make my own decisions. Shouldn't you be off somewhere with Hannah?" In her frustration she couldn't stop the words from falling out. He looked like she'd slapped him. Instantly she felt apologetic, after all he'd only tried to care for her but she didn't need it. She wanted it, damn it she wanted him but she hurt people and that's what the evidence said. She hadn't noticed him move closer but as her arm closed around the door handle, a hand shot out and wrapped itself around her wrists.
"Let go of me Booth" Her words came out dark.
"Hannah and I broke up."

Booth:
He'd caught her attention now. He'd been meaning to tell her about himself and Hannah for a couple of days.
"What? When?" Her question was quiet and she wasn't looking at him.
"A Couple of Days" Her snapped to look at him.
"Why didn't you tell me Booth?" She was pissed.
"Because you seemed to busy with him to bother listening to me"
"I ALWAYS HAVE TIME FOR YOU. I TRUST YOU BOOTH WHY COULDN'T YOU TRUST ME?" She stepped towards hit and was beating her fists on his chest now. His tears falling slowly onto her head and hers pouring onto the floor. He let her him, He just allowed it.
"I'm sorry Bones" He mumbled quietly. She stopped hitting him and he wrapped his arms around her, embracing her in a hug. "I'm so sorry"
"I'm sorry too, I substituted you for him and I was so wrong Booth" He winced at her words.
Pulling away he looked at her appearance, he raised his hand and gently brushed his fingers over her bloody cheek. "If I had told you he wouldn't of been able to hurt you like this" He embraced her again before a shrill ringing broke their silence.
He felt her tense. It was her phone ringing and he'd be willing to bet who it was. Letting go of her he stormed into the bedroom and snatched up her phone. Once he'd answered he let the speaker speak first.
"Baaaaaby where did you go oh sexy scientist of mine? I wasn't done with you yet. You know from last time what happens if you ruin my fun. Where are you Brenny?" His stupid pet name for Bones made him want to vomit.
"Hello" Booth said calmly although bursting with anger and he could hear the other main gasp distressedly before gaining composure.
"Ahhh Agent Booth, I must have called the wrong number. I was after MY girlfriend."
"No you called the right number. Dr Brennan is currently here with me in MY bedroom, whilst I tend to her wounds. Any idea who caused them because I'm going to kill them when I find out who did it."
The line went dead and Booth smirked. Turning back towards the door he saw her standing there watching him. He stepped towards her and he heard her take a sharp breath.
"He isn't worth it Booth" She murmured.
"You're right. But you are worth it. He hurt you and I'm going to make him pay." Seeing her shiver he wrapped his jacket around her. "Come on I'm taking you to the hospital. No buts"
He smiled at the confusion on her face "Okay but Booth what does my butt have to do with anything?" He chuckled and she frowned. "When you said earlier you'd been to my apartment. Why were you there?"
"Come on Bones" He said quietly as he thought back to earlier when he'd received a desperate call.

*Earlier that Evening (Before Booth finds her)*
Angela:
She laid a hand on her fluttering stomach. "Not long now little one" She murmured to her bump as she made her way from the lift to Brennan's Apartment. Her Husband Jack next to her holding her hand. She hadn't heard from Brennan all day and although it was late and she was probably asleep, Ange had been out on a weird craving run and decided to check on her best friend. She felt Jack stop next to her and she turned to him in surprise. A look of horror was plastered across his face and it didn't take her long to understand why. They'd reached Brennan's apartment. Her door was slightly open, a bloody handprint on the handle. Jack stepped forwards and pushed the door open with his foot. There was chaos everywhere. Furniture overturned, Photo's smashed, Traces of blood seemed to be viewable on every surface. The lamp Angela had brought Brennan for Christmas lay smashed on the floor.
"Jack" Her voice came out as a strangled whisper.
"Wait here" He kissed her on the cheek, raised the jar of pickles in one hand and entered the apartment. "Dr B?" no reply came as she watched her husband pass from room to room. "She's not here, place is empty" She couldn't help herself, she let out a strangled sob. Jack turned towards her and flipped open his phone.
"Booth. You need to get to Brennan's apartment now."
