SO INCREDIBLY SORRY that I haven't posted in like 2 months. I was really busy with play practice until 9 at night. A little excessive don't you think. Well anyway thanks for waiting so patiently. BONES COMES BACK ON APRIL 14
For those who don't remember Booth's dad was announced MIA and now his mother is drunk so he is staying with Tempe overnight.
(BIG ENOUGH?)
Disclaimer: I do not own bones.
"But I don't have any clothes or my toothbrush." Booth protested.
"You can wear some of Russ' old PJ's until tomorrow and we have a few disposable toothbrushes lying around. Tempe why don't you show him the guest room." Mrs. Brennan reasoned.
"Ok" She nodded and walked over to Booth holding out her hand. "Come on Booth. We can get one of Russ's T-shirts and some sweat pants."
"Ok" He said but made no move for her hand. "Ugggg! Come on!" She grabbed his arm and half dragged him upstairs. They grabbed a grey t-shirt and some blue sweatpants. Then Tempe showed Booth the guest room. It had a TV with a lot of video games and a computer against the far wall. There was also a twin bed in one corner with pillows all over it.
"We use it like a couch." Tempe explained. Still Booth said nothing. He walked over and sat on the bed. Tempe came and sat next to him.
"Come on Booth it'll be fun. We can stay up all night watching movies and playing video games." He sighed. "Tempe, I'm scared. I've never seen my mom drunk or even drink before."
"Booth she musta taken the news about your dad harder than you did. She needs to calm down."
"Yeah." He said quietly "OK."
"Do you want to play some video games?" Tempe asked
"Booth brightened up a bit and looked through the games. He pulled out some games and they sat for a few hours playing and laughing. Booth almost forgot why he was there. They had tacos for dinner and at about 9:30 they all decided to go to bed. Booth went into the guest room and left the door open a few inches so the light came in a little. He laid there for about half an hour before he saw a shadow pass in front of the door and go into Tempe's room. A few minutes later he heard the door open and close again. Then Mrs. Brennan stopped in front of the door again. She looked in and whispered "Seeley? What are you still doing up?" She came in and sat in the computer chair.
"Sorry Mrs. Brennan, I can't sleep. I guess I'm just worried about my Mom and Dad." Booth said sighing. "Yeah I know. I remember when I was your age, my dad was in a car accident and for a long time we didn't know if he would live or die." She looked over at Booth whose eyes were wide as saucers.
"What happened?" Booth asked
"Well we prayed and hoped and eventually he woke up and a few days after that we all went home. The point is that everything turns out ok as long as you stay positive." She smiled. "Feel better?"
Booth yawned "Yeah I think so." He snuggled down between the dozen or so pillows on the bed and fell asleep within minutes. He slept for a few hours before waking up somewhere around midnight. He picked up his pillow and blanket before creeping into Tempe's room and curled up by her bed. He fell asleep in no time.
Luckily for Booth he woke up before Tempe in the morning. He moved back into the guest room and looked up some news websites on the computer to check for news of his dad but all the big words confused him and he found nothing. He lay down in the bed and tried to get some more sleep.
The night before Mrs. Brennan had told him he did not have to go to school if he did not want to. He did not want to. So he got up an hour later and ate breakfast with the Brennan family then he sat on the couch all day watching TV news channels for some news of his father. T about 3:15 Russ and Tempe walked in the door. Russ came over and claimed the remote so Booth followed Tempe to the playroom where she was doing her homework.
"Any news?" She asked
"Nothing" He answered they sat in silence for a few minutes doing home work. (Tempe had brought Booth's home) Then they heard frantic calls from the next room. Russ was pointing at the screen and Mr. Brennan was turning up the volume. Tempe heard the woman on the news saying
"…Yesterday, was found today alive but in critical condition."
Tempe grabbed Booth's hands and started jumping up and down screaming. Booth smiled but did little else. He had something else on his mind.
"She has soft hands."
Sorry for the cliffhanger again but at least he's alive right? Luv all ya'll who reviewed and keep it up remember the 150th gets a spoiler.
