Chapter 3
Failing Bones
POV Booth
It has been two hours since I made Bones leave to go home. Sitting here and talking to Pops, I still feel like there is so many questions that I need him to answer. I know that he will help me some way he always has and he always will.
I'm feeling exhausted as I walk down the path to my car. In my mind I know that Pops will be here to talk to anytime I need to. I decide I don't want to take the normal way home. I feel like I need to go for a little bit of a car ride. I'm going to take the long way home which goes through downtown D.C. area.
I have been driving for 15 minutes and I see the sign for the Founding Fathers. Stopping and getting a drink seems like a good idea. As I'm about to stop flashbacks are filling my mind. My father drinking at all hours of the day and night. He was drunk 24-7 and would beat my mother and my brother. I always took the blame which ended with me being beaten the most. I'm not going to become that man. I'm not going to turn into my father.
I'm pressing on the gas harder than I really think and I have let my guard down. I didn't realize that I have a red light. A truck has the green light and is charging towards the intersection. I thought I had the green I'm flying into that same intersection. I can see the truck and I send up a quick prayer as I fly past the truck.
My car missed the truck by only a few inches. Realizing what I had done I turn to look out my back window to make sure everything was okay at the light and that I had caused no crash. Looking backward I'm unable to see what is going on in the street ahead of me.
A car swerved into my lane it was too late when I started to turn around to do anything.
Next thing I know is my car is airborne. Glass and car pieces are flying everywhere while my car flips and rolls down the street. It is all over I have come to a stop thanks to a light pole.
Bone's words are replaying through my head.
"Booth be careful."
I have failed Bones and now the darkness is taking me. It's hard to breathe and my head is bounding. Bones are broken while blood is dripping from my useless body. I now can't think. My mind is shut off the last though in my mind is Failing...Failing...Failing Bones.
