Temperance Brennan sat in her office, re-reading a letter that had arrived for her three days ago. It had been a week since the team had found out about her fake death and things had gone from bad to worse. Angela hadn't spoke to her, she had been avoiding eye contact and had made no effort to even speak to her best friend. Obviously, if Angela wasn't talking to Temperance then neither would Hodgins. Zack had been to focused on his work to notice anything had even happened, out of all of them Zack was the only one who actually spoke to Temperance on rare occasions. Cam had been wrapped up in her own world, Temperance had noticed that she was avoiding her which didn't bother her much. Booth was a different matter, after they had kissed he hadn't spoke to her since, infact he hadn't even seen her - he too was avoiding her.
Temperance looked back down at the letter. Three days ago, it had arrived in the post for her from a London university asking her to do an anthropology class for the students. She had decided to go for this opportunity, she would move to London to work at a university. Temperance put the letter down on her desk, she pulled out a blank piece of paper and grabbed the pen resting on the top of her desk. She began to write:
Dear whoever it may concern,
Im sorry. I need you to read the letter under this piece of paper and I also need you to understand why Im doing this. Its an amazing opportunity for me.
Goodbye forever.
Temperance.
She got up and walked out of her office, grabbing her jacket and bag on the way out. No-one questioned Temperance where she was going, they all just watched her silently. Temperance straightened out her blazer, threw her bag over her shoulder and headed down towards the car park. She jumped into her car, she took a deep breath before starting the car and driving out of the Jefforsonian car park. She drove back to her apartment, wondering how long it would take for the others to find her goodbye note. She had packed the night when she first recieved the letter, just incase she decided to go. At first, she was going to stay at the Jefforsonian but she realised without Angela or the others friendship, there was nothing left for her anymore. Temperance felt hurt, for the first time in a long time. She trusted Booth and Angela, she never expected she'd be so lost without them in her life. She wondered if any of them would even care that she was moving to London.
Temperance shoved her key in the lock, unlocked the door and walked into her apartment for what could be the last time. She shut the door and wandered over into her bedroom. She had stripped her bedroom clean, everything was packed into suitcases and her bedroom was now as it was when she first moved in. She dragged three suitcases out of her room, dropping them besides the couch and looking around. She had packed most of the vaulables that she would need and the vaulables that she wanted to keep, the rest was going to be left here. She had only left a few books, some artifacts that would break if she took them and objects that would be confiscated before she went on the plane. Temperance quickly tidied up a little, she rang up the airport and asked if there were any flights going to London today. Luckily, there was a flight tonight, Temperance paid over the phone and was glad that she wouldn't have to wait too long before she could leave this all behind.
Three Hours Later.
Temperance sat down in the airport, she was now free of all her suitcases and could relax a little before boarding the plane. She sighed and dropped her head in her hands, she was really leaving Washing D.C behind. But, it wasn't leaving D.C behind that affected her so much, it was leaving her friends behind without saying 'thank you' or sorting their situation out, that was what really affected the strong Temperance Brennan.
Im so sorry. I think this is a really poor chapter that I didn't explain well. I thought I would tie it in with whats meant to be happening in Series 4. Im sorry for any confusion about this chapter and critism is welcome! Thank you x
