Hey! So thanks to everyone who read my last chapter! It makes me happy! This chapter took me a little longer because I couldn't decide how I wanted it to end plus I'm an idiot and could not for the life of me figure out how to upload this chapter. My friend was reading it and she was freaking out.

What do you think? Do YOU like the ending point for this chapter?

I think humming is the most annoying thing in the world. Next to paper work. Put those two together and you have one major headache.

"Um, Parker can you stop humming please?"

"Sorry Bones. I can't get this dumb song out of my head."

"It's alright Parker. Maybe if you listen to the song all the way through it might help get the song out of your head. I have internet if you would like to look it up on YouTube."

"Yeah, that might work. Do you mind?"

"No of course not Parker." Anything as long as I don't have to do any more paper work. And that god forsaking humming stops.

Lost a lover, gained a friend

Oh, it's one of those songs

Can't afford all the love that I spend

You said you'd wait for me

But there's no commitment I see.

You don't even have a right to think about him like that, so just stop it right now. You and Booth weren't even more than partners. You were the one who said no. You were the one who said you can't love him. Well that came back and bit you in the ass, huh Temperance. Now he's with someone. Someone who hasn't broken his heart. Someone like Hannah. So there.

Can't you see I'm in love with you?

Can't you see there's so much I do?

You keep my head spinnin' around

Oh, it's hard to keep my feet on the ground.

He doesn't see. He'll never see. That's probably best. As long as he's happy.

"Bones, I'm hungry. Can we go get something to eat?" Parker asked oblivious to her internal monolog.

"Sure Parker. Would you like to go to the diner?" Try to keep it together in front of Parker.

"Can I get pie?"

"Of course you can." He smiled a toothy smile. Excited by the mere prospect of pie. Just like his father.

"We can go as soon as I put these papers away."

"Okay, Bones. I gotta use the bathroom. I'll be back." Truthfully Parker didn't have to go but he thought Bones looked sad so he wanted to give her a moment alone. He is a very observant eleven-year old.

"Alright." She smiled. It was a false smile, the sort of smile that wouldn't even have fooled a social illiterate such as herself.

She just couldn't get the song out of her head. Or his face for that matter. It was all swirling around in that very busy place she called a mind. Bits of the song changed with the passing images of his face. The current image of that being of his smiling face. Lost a lover, gained a friend. The little part of rationality that she had been holding on to told her that he was never her lover. Only ever her friend. But he could have been more, so much more. Now he really doesn't even act like her friend. Flash. A different image. It's one of him when he was undercover as Tony. Flash. One of him singing hot blooded. I thought our love would go on and on. When he woke up from the coma. Then of when he was shot.The next of when he came to say good-bye to her at the airport. Now I can't believe you're gone. The images were changing faster now. The image of him standing on the steps of the Hoover. He looked so sad. Like the heavens have no end. The images are gone now. Now she just remembers.

She remembers what it felt like when he gave her the Christmas tree a few years ago. She remembers when she saved Booth from the Gravedigger. She also remembers the way she felt when he rescued her from the Gravedigger.. She remembers the feeling of shear terror when she got the call from the Gravedigger saying that she had Booth. Or when he took that bullet for her. She remembers the pure agony of having to stand there at his funeral, thinking that she was the reason for his death. She still feels her metaphoric heart crushing when she remembers his face when he sees Hannah. Or that gleam in his eye when he talks about her. She feels the pain in her cheeks from when she smiles at them, willing him to believe her pathetic attempt to be happy for him.

She was so caught up in her melancholy she didn't hear Parker enter her office.

"Bones, are you okay?" A hesitant Parker asked.

"I'm fine. Why do you ask?"

"Because you're crying."

So again what do you think? I think I like it. Kind of sad though. Well comments are appreciated. But when people just reading it the feeling is just pure awesomeness.

Thanks, Meme.
