Booth felt as if she had just ripped his heart out of his chest and decided to slowly rip it apart.
Why won't she trust me? I know that I would be able to help her, if she would let me. Okay, I don't really know how to deal with rape victims, but I'm the only one who knows how to deal with her and her pain.
He sighed and stopped pacing. He took out his cell phone and dialed Angela's number.
Bones had fell asleep only minutes after Booth had left her room. Since she kept having nightmares sleeping didn't mean the same thing as resting anymore;
This time wasn't any different.
She was tied to a chair.
She was naked.
But she wasn't alone.
There were more men in the room, she could see them moving in the shadows.
"Booth?"
No answer.
"Booth?"
She was starting to get scared.
Where is he? He's supposed to stay with me. He's supposed to help me.
"Booth!"
"Dammit, Angela!"
This was the fourth time that he was trying her number, and he already tried Hodgins number twice two.
He was about to try for a fifth time when he heard her scream his name.
He dropped the phone and ran to her bedroom door.
He stopped.
What if she doesn't want me to help her? What if...
"Booth! Help me, please, help me!"
Those words made him change his mind. He opened the door and ran over to her bed.
Her heart stopped when she realized the shocking truth.
Booth isn't here. I told him to go.
He isn't here.
Suddenly she felt strong arms on her shoulders and a familiar voice.
The dark room started to disappear as Booth's voice grew louder.
"Wake up."
She woke with a start.
Booth was mentally preparing himself to be kicked out once again, when Brennan did something that surprised both of them.
She threw herself in his arms and started sobbing. He could barely hear it.
"Booth, you're here."
"Off course I am."
The shock had worn off and he had wrapped his arms around her.
" You didn't leave me."
"No, I didn't."
He started to pull her closer, surprised that she let him.
" You came to help me."
"I will always come to help you."
He started rubbing soothing circles on her back.
" You're here. "
She continued sobbing, not being able to grasp the fact that she hadn't pushed him away for good.
He didn't say anything he just started to gently rock them both back and forth.
"You're really here!"
After rocking them both for about twenty minutes he finally pulled free, just enough to see her eyes.
"What did you dream about?"
She clutched his shirt in her hands as she was being torn apart inside.
Should I tell him about the letter and the drawers?
He tilted her chin so he could look into her eyes.
"Please, tell me what's wrong?" He was whispering. "What did you dream about?"
I have to tell him.
She took a deep breath, buried herself deeper in Booths arms and said:
"There is a letter on my nightstand. I found it in my drawer of my..."
She took another deep breath.
"My underwear. But..."
He felt her hesitate.
"Don't stop. You can tell me. Please, tell me."
She sighed and told him about the switched objects.
He felt his jaw tighten.
No wonder she's upset. Someone has been in here. I'm gonna kill that bastard.
He took a calming breath before he said:
"Did you dream about it?"
She simply nodded.
"Can I see it?"
She nodded again.
Without letting her out of his arms he grabbed the letter and read it. He could feel the rage building inside of him.
We finally have a solid clue. I'm taking this to FBI headquarters, right now!
He let Temperance go, got up from the bed and started walking towards the room.
"Booth."
He stopped and turned around.
"Yes."
"Stay."
He didn't respond.
"Stay here... with me... please?"
I can't believe what I'm hearing. Is she really asking me to stay?
He looked into her eyes.
The only thing he saw was a broken spirit.
He nodded and started to walk back to the bed.
To her.
To his Bones.
A/N:
Okay, sweeties, I know that you want her to spill her guts. Believe me I do to, but that is going to be a very delicate chapter to write. I have a few versions of the next chapter, but they don't feel quite right. So I'll keep working on it.
But it IS coming.
The next chapter she'll tell him. Whether she wants to or not!
Because she needs to tell him and he needs to know!!!
