I wanted to sleep so badly. I was lying in bed willing myself to just fall asleep. I kept thinking instead, about my brother, my dad, Jared, and just myself in general. I knew, even back then, that I had disappointed my brother.
He was the only family that I was really close to and I screwed up. He hates me and it's all my fault. Because of a few little (actually they were sort of big) mistakes our whole relationship was ruined. I feel really bad now and I'm pretty sure that I will never sleep again.
It was time I got up and made this right. But wait, he's the one who neglected to mention me, he's the one who didn't tell me about faking his death, he's the one who hasn't wrote to me in two years, and he's the one that needs to apologize and make things right. I doubt that will happen soon though, which means I will not be sleeping soon. Why is it that the sixteen year-old from Military school is more likely than the grown man with the perfect record to apologize?
Then I remembered when I was little how he used to help me with everything. He was my parents essentially because no one else would take care of me. Seeley was always there for me and he knew exactly what I needed. So how come he doesn't now? Where did my big brother go and what happened to him between then and now? Why is this so difficult for us? I want my brother back.
I started to cry. I hate my life and where it has lead. My family is a total mess, both Jared and my father are drunks, my grandpa is in a care home, my mother is gone, and my brother hates me. Those are the makings for the perfect Christmas get together right there, let me tell you. I don't know what to do with myself. Everyone wishes me gone and that I had never existed in this world. Right now I agree.
I'm only sixteen. Why do I have to deal with all this by myself?
Seeley Booth could not sleep. His little sister was right next door and she hated his guts. Right now she was probably plotting out the perfect way to kill him.
He knew that he needed to apologize. Not only to please Bones and win back her trust, but also because she was his little sister. He had practically raised her and he knew how desperately she looked up to him. He just wasn't sure what to say and how to explain himself. Where do you begin?
Brennan was sitting up in her apartment. She had attempted to write more of her book, but only got a few sentences out before she started thinking.
What was up with Booth's family that was so bad? Why is Tori here now? What did Tori do? Why is he so secretive? What actually happened with Booth's father? And where is his mother in all of this? Do I want the answers to these questions?
A/N: Brennan might not want answers but I'm sure that all of you do. They will be answered soon I promise.
