The sound of his cell phone ringing, shook Booth out of his thoughts.
Realizing that the tune was Hot Blooded, he quickly answered, knowing it was Brennan who was calling.
"B... Temperance?"
He could hear her sobbing.
"Are you okay?"
He started to panick.
Something must be really wrong if she's crying like this.
"Hold on, Tempe. I'm coming."
She flipped the phone shut and continued crying.
She was lying, curled up in a ball in her bed.
She was surrounded by Booths stuff.
When she'd scanned the room, after coming in she saw all of his belongings just lying around.
A constant reminder that he loves her.
How can he possibly love me?
I'm socially awkward, I only speak "squint" and to top it off, I'm wrecked goods!
Or how does that go?
Anyway, he probably didn't even mean it, when he told me he loved me.
How could he mean it?
She'd started to gather his things, to throw them out.
And she was doing a good job until she reached the bedroom.
She could still feel his strong, reassuring arms around her.
Making her feel safe and wanted and... and loved.
That's when it hit her.
"I love him."
"I need him."
" I trust him to not abandon me."
Not knowing what to do, she'd collapsed on her bed, surrounded by Booths stuff.
And all of the sudden she heard his voice.
"Call me if you need me, Temperance."
So she picked up her phone and called him.
Booth had effectively ignored any common traffic rules and had even used the siren to do it.
He nearly jumped out of the car and ran over to the door.
He flew up the stairs and into her apartment to find it empty.
His heart sank into his stomach.
"No, Bones, please not again."
He whispered.
"Please, be here, Temperance."
He closed his eyes.
"Please be here!"
Suddenly he heard a soft sound.
He turned his head to determine it's origine.
It's coming from the bedroom.
He quietly made his way over to the door.
That's when he saw her.
A sight that left him, Special Agent Seeley Booth and former sniper for the US Army, weak in the knees.
She was lying on her bed, curled up in a ball.
Surrounded by HIS stuff and clutching his sweatshirt to her chest.
He walked over to the bed picked her up and pulled her to his chest, gently rocking both of them back and forth.
"You...(sob)...came...(sob)..."
"Shh, off course I came, Tempe!"
Booth whispered softly to her curls.
"I will always come for you! You know that, don't you?"
She nodded.
"I love you, Temperance Brennan."
"And I will always come for you."
She looked up at him and whispered.
"I believe you."
She kissed him, rested her head again on his shoulder and said:
"I trust you, Seeley Booth."
"I trust you with my life and my heart."
That's how she spend the rest of the night.
Curled up in Booths arms.
And for the first time since this nightmare began, she wasn't disturbed by them in her sleep.
The end.
