A/N: Here is chapter 2. This is turning out a lot longer then I originally intended. Thanks to Anne Nonymus for the help and proofreading. Thanks to everyone for reading!

Sweets and Cam sat on the bench in silence. Sweets still amazed at what she had revealed and was not trying to analyze the deeper layers of Dr. Camille Saroyan. Cam always put up a good front and no one ever asked her about her love life, although given all the drama with Hodgins and Angela and Brennan and Booth it's not surprising. Still he felt bad that Cam felt so alone and that everyone had missed it.

"I'm sorry" He said suddenly, breaking the silence. Cam cocked her head and gave him a confused look.

"I'm sorry that we didn't realize -" Cam cut him off with a wave of her hand

"It's ok Dr. Sweets. I do not like to talk about my personal life at work. I was just hoping that by now I would have met someone…well I did, but he cheated on me constantly and now he's dead" Cam tried to infuse some humor into the conversation but failed. Sweets nodded.

"Well I am still sorry."

"Thank you" She whispered. Sighing she pushed herself off the bench.

"I'm gonna go home. Michelle should be back from the movies soon."

"Ok. Have a good night" Sweets said, also getting up.

"Oh and Sweets -"

"I won't say anything to anyone Cam, this is just between us." Cam smiled gratefully before heading towards her car.


"Sweetie!" Angela exclaimed as she looked over at a very shocked Wendell.

"Wait, wait, you were engaged to Hodgins?" He asked, finally finding his voice. Angela sighed.

"Yes, we were engaged but we didn't go through with the wedding"

"Why not?" Brennan was uncomfortable sitting in-between a fighting couple.

"Because he didn't trust me." Angela said, hoping to put an end to the topic and move on.

"Ange you guys ran away from your wedding because you found out that you had actually been married to another guy for five years." Brennan spoke up, confused as to why Angela would lie to Wendell. Wendell's mouth dropped again.

"What? You were already married?"

"It was Fiji and too much alcohol. I didn't even remember until that marriage license guy brought it up." Angela defended herself, finally realizing how bad it sounded.

"They spent a year searching for her husband" Brennan added, although she quickly shut her mouth at Angela's glare. Wendell was speechless. He knew that Angela and Hodgins had been in a relationship but he did not think it was to this extent. He suddenly got a very bad feeling in the pit of his stomach.

"Hodgins is going to kill me" He said to himself.

"No he isn't, we've both moved on." Angela said dismissively

"Actually Ange, I don't think he has." Brennan said, remembered the look on Hodgins' face as he ran out of the bar. Angela and Wendell looked at her.

"He told you that he wasn't over me?" Angela asked

"What? No" Brennan replied "Booth figured it out." Angela and Wendell looked at each other.

"Um, Angela, I don't think this is a good idea if Hodgins is still in love with you." Wendell said uncomfortably. He didn't want to break up with Angela so soon, but after the revealing conversation he knew that it was a mistake.

"What? You're breaking up with me?" She looked taken aback. Wendell nodded sadly.

"It's not right. I'm Hodgins' friend and if I had known that you guys had been engaged or that he's still in love with you, I wouldn't have started this in the first place." He said as gently as he could. "I'm really sorry Ange, but I don't think it's fair to him" Angela looked amazed. She had gotten dumped by Roxie but she hadn't been that upset about it. Being dumped by Wendell, because he wanted to spare Hodgins' feelings, well she didn't know how to react. She was the one who usually broke up the relationship when things got too serious.

"Ok." She said putting on a brave face and hoping Wendell would buy it. He seemed to.

"I'm gonna go talk to Hodgins." He said getting up and putting a few bills down to pay for his drink. He kissed Angela on the cheek to show that there was no animosity before leaving.

"Wow, so that was probably the shortest relationship ever." Angela said, Brennan didn't know how to respond.

"Are you going to try to get back into a relationship with Hodgins?" She asked. Angela sighed

"I don't know. It didn't work last time"

"You broke it off Angela." Brennan reminded her

"It was both our fault's sweetie. He didn't stop me. He didn't trust me." Sweets walked up to their table as she said this.

"Angela, you kissed your ex husband and expected Hodgins to be ok with it. And you were really upset that Cam slept with Birimbau. I think under the circumstances, Hodgins had a right to feel a little wary." He commented. Angela shot him an irritated glare but he refused to be intimidated by her.

"I normally would not agree with Sweets, but I do think that if you were upset with Cam sleeping with your ex-husband, Hodgins would have come to the rational conclusion that you still harbored some level of attraction towards him." Brennan said. Angela looked back and forth between the two of them.

"Personally I think you did it purposefully, whether consciously or not, so that you could have an escape route. But I've tried to explain your commitment issue to you before and you brushed be off." Both Brennan and Angela looked at him oddly, he hadn't meant to sound angry or irritated, but his conversation with Cam was still playing in his head.

"Why are you guys trying to paint me as the bad guy here?" Angela asked angrily. "Its not like Hodgins is totally innocent. And you're supposed to be my best friend Brennan"

"I know Ange, but I don't like seeing my friends get hurt, and Hodgins is hurt."

"Hodgins may not be innocent Angela but name one thing he has done to hurt you. Not counting the break-up that he didn't stop because you were both at fault there." Sweets asked.

"Don't get all shrinky on me Sweets" Angela said dismissively.

"I'm not!" He retorted defensively.

"Angela" Brennan intervened "I have to agree with Sweets." She didn't feel ashamed to say this but was very surprised that she was agreeing with psychology. Although Booth thought the same things which made her feel better.


Wendell went back to the lab looking for Hodgins, who was conspicuously absent. He knew that he wasn't at the founding fathers or at home and was at a loss. Then he remembered what Brennan had said about Booth having to leave because of an emergency and suddenly he knew it wasn't about work. Pulling out his cell phone he quickly dialed Booth's number.

"Booth"

"Hey man, it's Wendell"

"Oh, um this isn't a great time man." Booth replied awkwardly.

"Um…ya I know. Hodgins is with you right? I wanted to talk to him. I broke it off with Angela when I found out that he's still in love with her." Booth didn't respond but Wendell could hear him talking to someone in the background.

"Ok, come on over." Booth conceded.

Wendell knocked on Booth's door a little over twenty minutes later.

"Hey" He said awkwardly, looking at his shoes as Booth let him in.

"He's in the living room" Booth said, nodding towards his living room.

"Hey Hodgins" Wendell said, unsure if he should sit down or not, opting to stay standing incase he had to make a run for it. Hodgins looked up, angry making his brilliant blue eyes dark.

"Um…I wanted to tell you that I um…I broke it off with Angela. Dr. Brennan explained about the relationship that you guys had and said that you were still in love with Angela so I broke it off." Hodgins looked surprised.

"You broke up with her?"

"Ya" Hodgins was silent.

"Uh…thanks I guess" He said after moment. Wendell took this as a good sign and sat down.

"I'm really sorry. I knew that you and Angela had gone out before and I shouldn't have agreed to go out with her."

"Hey man, it's not your fault." Hodgins sighed. "I actually wasn't even made at you."

"What?"

"I was mad at Angie for hurting me again."

"Hodgins" Booth finally spoke, pushing himself off the wall he had been leaning against. "I think you should go talk to her." Hodgins snorted.

"You ready to talk to Dr. B?" He retaliated.

"Oooo" Wendell said jokingly. Booth shook his head in amusement but then sent Wendell a warning glare before passing out more beer.
