Thank you to all who reviewed on the last chapter, though I didn't get as many as I usually do. I think the cause of this is many people probably read the first chapter 3 I posted, which was actually to another one of my stories, they thought it was going in the wrong direction, and stopped reading. So if that's the case, I'm terribly sorry and...please come back! Please? :(

Anyway, I hope you enjoy this chapter! It's the moment you've all been waiting for! Enjoy!


1:35

Brennan looked at her phone, checking the time. She had arrived at the coffee cart over 2 hours ago. She sat on the bench, two coffee's by her side. She wondered if she was crazy doing this. She could be waiting here all day, and he might not even show up. She stood up, roaming around the crowded outside mall, observing vendors and their products. She came across a little stand, where small little figurines of Disney characters stood, and one, she recognized. Brainy Smurf.

She picked her up, as her mind flashed back to the night Booth had given that to her, after she had finished telling him about Andy Fleuger and he told her about his embarrassing high school moment (or so he thought it was.) They were so solid back then. She remembered the words he spoke to her. "You have your looks, and a whole lot more." she recalled him saying.

Suddenly, she felt tears developing in her eyes.

"Ma'am? May I help you?" the owner of the stand asked.

"No, thank you. I'm fine." she said, wiping the tears from her eyes and setting the Smurf back onto the table, and walked away.

3:46

Brennan pulled out her cell phone, checking the time. She got discouraged, shutting her phone off in the process. She sighed, as she realized she had been here 4 hours all ready and still no sign of Booth. Maybe she was crazy. Yes, she had to be crazy. Waiting all day, by herself, for a man that was already taken by someone else. She stood up, her stomach growling, and went off to find the nearest food stand.

The time was now 5:48. She had been sitting there since 11 o'clock. For 6 hours, she had been pacing, sitting down, walking around, sitting back down, buying a drink, and sitting back down. She kept hoping that at any minute, Booth was going to show up, give her a hug, and tell her he was sorry about everything that had happened the past year. But as every minute passed, the likely hood of that happening, kept decreasing rapidly.

It was now 8:00. Brennan had officially been there for 9 hours. She finally accepted the fact that Booth wasn't going to show up. He was probably at home, having dinner with his girlfriend, and would soon be heading to bed with her by his side. She was crazy to have thought that Booth would've shown up. Things had changed between them since they made that promise. They led different lives, and there was no way Brennan could change that now. He had officially moved on, and this had proven it to her.

Standing up, she threw her now cold coffee and the one that she had saved for him in the garbage. She sighed, and walked into towards her car, knowing where Booth and her now stood.

Brennan was in her car on her way home, when she remembered she had turned her phone off. She reached over into her purse, grabbing her cell and pressing the END button. The phone vibrated and turned on. Shortly after, 23 new voicemails appeared upon her screen. Brennan's heart stopped. Something must be wrong. No one would leave that many voice mail's if something wasn't wrong.

She checked her missed calls, 10 from Angela, 8 from Cam, 3 from Sweets, and 2 from Hodgins. Yes, something was definitely wrong. Seeing that Angela had called the most, she pressed send and called her best friend.

"Brennan! Where the hell have you been?" Angela yelled on the other line.

"Angela, you know I went to the coffee cart to wait for Booth. What's wrong?"

"You weren't there when we went there!"

"What are you talking about? I was there all day Ange. I just left."

"Whatever Bren, the important thing isn't where you were, the important thing is….Booth was in a car accident."

Brennan's heart stopped once again, as she lost control of the car and swerved into the other lane. On the other line, Angela could hear horns blowing and Brennan screaming.

"BRENNAN! What's going on?" Angela screamed.

After moments later, she got her answer.

"Sorry Angela. I lost control of my vehicle and went into the other lane. I had to throw my phone down to regain control and swerve back into my lane. I'm on the side of the road now."

"Great. That's good. Now can you please put the car back in drive and get down here to the hospital?"

Brennan's sudden life threatening experience made her forget at what caused it. Booth. She started up her car again, and slowly made a U-turn, going back towards the hospital.

"Of course. Angela, what happened? How did he…is he o…is he alive?" Brennan found herself stuttering and crying.

"He's unconscious Bren. He's banged up pretty good. Ruptured his spleen, broken leg, arm, and neck, a couple of broken ribs, his lung collapsed, and he has a possible concussion."

Brennan took the time to let the information she was just given sink in.

"But…he's alive?" Brennan asked hesitantly.

"Surprisingly yes. The doctor's are saying he's lucky he didn't die on the spot."

"What happened?"

"He was driving down some back road and was going around the corner, when some jack ass came towards him and collided head on with Booth. The driver of the other car was killed and Booth…Booth was lucky. But we don't know for how long."

Brennan felt the tears coming stronger. "What time did this happen?"

"The police said it occurred at maybe 1 or 2, but no one found him until 6. No one really drive's on that road anymore. It's basically just to get away and take a ride. Cam said he came to her office to talk to her about something around 12, left about quarter after or so, and the crash happened at about 1:35."

"What was he talking to Cam about?" Brennan asked curiously.

"I don't know. She's too upset right now to really say anything. She's been sitting in the corner by herself for the past 4 hours, after trying to call you numerous times, as have all of us."

"Who all is there?"

"Me, Hodgins, Cam, and Sweets."

"Hannah's not there?" she asked surprised.

"No. That's the weird thing. You would think that she would be here, but…she's no where to be found."

"That's oddly strange."

"Yes, very. Are you almost here?" Angela asked with urgency.

Brennan made a left turn, pulling into the the hospital parking lot.

"Pulling in right now. I'll see you in a couple minutes." she said, and hung up her phone.

How had she managed to stay so calm after almost completely wrecking her car? Her stomach ached, longing to see how Booth was. She sat in the car a couple minutes, taking deep breathe's and reassuring herself that everything would be go, and praying to god she wasn't only kidding herself.


Fooled you didn't I? Ha-ha. And you guy's thought Booth was going to show up, tell her how he really felt, and they would just fall back into each other's arms. Well not in my story! Hope I didn't disappoint.

Please review!

And yes, it was no coincidence that the same time Brennan checked her phone was the time that Booth crashed. That's how in sync they are with each other :)
