Michael drove faster than he ever as in his life, his mother was right, why not just tell her that? He'd been wanting to tell her for nearly 4 years, just do it! Shit I'm here, crap, what if Uncle Booth's home, crap, what if anyone's home? He walked up to the door and knocked on it, usually he would just walk in but he didn't think that that would be the best decision right now.

He stood there waiting a few minutes and then knocked again, thinking that she just didn't hear him, he waited again, then knocked and waited a few more times, still no answer.

"Michael, are you okay?" The voice of Brennan startled him and he turned round to see her with Booth just jogging up behind her, just getting home.

"Huh, yeah, just do you happen to know where Christine is? I uh, wanted to see if she, um…wanted to go and get something to eat" Nice save there dude.

"Yeah, she's gone out with Jake tonight"

Crap! Oh god of course she said that she's going to the mall with Jake, that's how this whole thing started.

"Oh yeah, she uh, mentioned that earlier, I'll uh, I'll just see you later" Michael went to walk back to his car

"Michael," he turned back around at the sound of his name coming from Brennan ", are you sure you're okay?"

No, of course not I've ruined everything, "Yeah, thanks Aunt Bren I'm fine"

Michael sat in his car a few minutes after they had entered back into their house, now what? She obviously is still with Jake if she's gone out with him tonight, I really need to see her, like now, or I never will tell her…you know again. Mall, she's at the mall, but she's with her boyfriend, god that wouldn't go down well, walking up to them and just saying, "hey! I'm completely in love with your girlfriend and I think you're a total jerk!" I think he'd throw me into the fountain, no just go home man, it's been a long day…

He pulled of the curb and started to head home, he'd just rounded the corner of his road when he saw her car, parked right in front of his house, as he got closer, he could see her, sitting there, it looked like she was crying, No, Christine never cries, the only time I've ever seen her cry was at Hank's funeral. He pulled up behind her and got out quietly, he walked over to her window and it was confirmed, there she was, crying her eyes out in front of his house sitting in her car.

AT THIS POINT I DECIDED TO DO A PART FROM CHRISTINE AFTER MICHAEL LEFT HER AT HER HOUSE BEFORE, AND TO WHAT SHE HAD BEEN DOING WHILST MICHAEL HAD WENT TO HER HOUSE AS I REALISED HOW MUCH THIS HAD BEEN FOCUSING ON MICHAEL, SO YEAH, HERE GOES…

She sat there and just stared until her phone buzzed and startled her;

1 new message from Jake: Hey, we need to talk

What? I thought I was supposed to be seeing him in like an hour…crap, he's going to break up with me, ugh, can this day get any worse?

She picked up her phone and told him to meet her at the park

INSERT A SCENE WHERE JAKE BREAKS UP WITH CHRISTINE BLA BLA BLA, SORRY I KNOW THIS IS STUPID BUT I HAD NO IDEA WHAT TO WRITE FOR THIS PART SO YEAH.

She had no idea how she ended up at Michaels place, she knew why, it was just her instinct place to go there, whenever she was hurt, sad or just plain stressed out, it would always be made better by her walking into Michaels house and just sitting there for hours, forgetting about everything else that mattered in the world.

Now she was sitting in her car, occasionally looking over and seeing Angela or Hodgins, walking by the window, she never saw Michael, not once, she didn't know how long she'd been sitting there, then everything just started to build up, she started to realise what had happened in just the space of one day; her boyfriend had broken up with her for no reason whatsoever and she'd realised why he was nicknamed the biggest jerk in high school, but the biggest thing, the most important person in the whole world told her that he was in love with her, suddenly she realised that she'd gotten herself so overwhelmed over what had happened and just sat there and cried, cried like there was no tomorrow, but no matter how hard she tried to, she just couldn't stop.

She thought she heard the faint sound of a car and a door shutting but just ignored it, you're in public for god sake, of course the whole world isn't going to stop just because you're crying.

A knock on the window made her jump and look up, and there he was, standing there, looking more hurt than she was feeling right now, they just stared at each other, for what felt like hours, him on the other side of the window, her sitting tin the car with red eyes and more tears welling up again.

She was the first one to break it, she had to look down because she wasn't going to let him see her cry, especially not over this, not now anyway.

-BACK TO MICHAEL-

No please, don't look away Christine, please don't, god why is she crying, it's because of me, shit I'm the biggest jerk there is going, no one ever makes Christine cry, especially not her best friend, shit, I've really screwed up now. I have to do something,

He bends down and knocks on the window again, she doesn't look up this time.

"Christine, please let me in" he may be on the other side of the window from her but he knows that she can hear him because she visibly freezes, and he swears to god that he can see her brain working thinking about her options.

She wordlessly presses the button inside the car to unlock the doors, indicating for him to go in. he jogs around the front of the car, and gets into the passenger side of the vehicle.

And there it is that silence again, it's just so awkward that he feels so awkward and he bets that she feels the same.

"Jake broke up with me"

There it was, those 5 words that made him want to go and shoot that jerk in the face, he had a feeling that this would happen at some point, but with what happened earlier, she didn't need it today.

"Is that why you're crying?" Hey, I have to ask

She just shrugs, "partly"

He knew what the other part was, him. Right now he needs to forget about why he went out in the first place, and just…be her best friend. Nothing more.

"You want some cocoa?" he gave her a small smile, this girl could drink cocoa anywhere, even if she had no clue where she was or what was happening, if she had some cocoa, she'd be fine.

He swore he saw her smile a little, "yeah" she said with a cracked voice.

Oh, I think I'm beginning to dedicate my life to this story this is the third chapter I've written in two days, eh, oh well, I'm in the middle of writing a cute BB future oneshot too, so look out, I'm becoming obsessed;)
