Hey guys! I'm happy that everyone enjoyed the first chapter! I hope I can get these chapters up ASAP so fingers crossed! Here is chapter 2

Brennan slammed her apartment door shut in anger. She furiously wiped the tears off her face as more came soaring down. She dropped her bag on the floor and shrugged her coat off. She looked around and willed herself to stop crying. His words still spun in her head, you make everything cold and rational. Your words mean nothing to me. A sob escaped her lips as more tears came to her eyes. She knew he moved on but his words struck her like a knife.

"Well, I guess thats it then." She thought. She took her shoes off and made her way to her bedroom. She changed into sweats and made her way to her couch. She had no desire to go anywhere or talk to anyone so she placed herself on her couch and write her novel. Today was her day to sit down and really work on her latest book today so she used that opportunity to get her mind off of Booths mean words; Although now she had some rerouting to do to her ideas. She felt the vibrations of her phone and checked it out. It was the Jeffersonian calling. She clicked ignore and shut her phone off completely. A few minutes go by and her house phone begins to ring as well. She ignored that too and went along with her writing. She wanted no contact with the outside world for the day.

Brennan sat for a while, loosing track of time as she pumped out chapter after chapter of the adventures of Kathy and Andy. Although this time she was finding new ways to end the partnership between her characters. Her secret muse was no longer available so she worked on ending the dynamic or even the series all together. As she was writing a chapter in which Andy breaks Kathys heart a few bangs erupted from her door. The bangs jolted her from her thoughts. She kept quiet in hopes that the intruder would leave.

"Bones?" She felt the color drain from her face when she heard the nickname and the voice that often paired with it. She sat perfectly still in hopes that he wouldn't hear her. "Open up. I'm sorry please we need to talk." She heard more knocks as tears once again ran down her face leaving behind two twin trails. She put a hand over her mouth in an effort to muffle the sobs that threatened to come up. She heard the clicking of a key and silently thanked god that she changed her locks. Brennan wasn't ready to talk to him; she didn't know if she would ever be ready to face him. She heard footsteps walk away from the door. One peak out her peep hole told her that he had left. Probably to go search for her somewhere else.

The attempted confrontation forced her out of her writing session and made her realize that she should eat. Going out and grabbing something was on her mind until she realized that she could bump into him or she would come back to her apartment and he would be there. Maybe she would forgo food for now.

Brennan couldn't get Booth out of her mind. For the rest of the day she tried to keep herself preoccupied with writing, email checking and grading papers but her thoughts only consisted of the harsh words that came from her partner and all the looks she received from the people at the lab. She saw the email from Cam and decided to email her back letting her know that she was fine and would be back in the lab tomorrow morning. She apologized for her absence and sent the email. She was sitting on her couch pretending to grade papers when she heard knocks again. She watched the door in a mixture of horror and anger. She knew who was there; she knew he would come back,

"Bones, I know you're there. I tracked your phone. I don't care how long it'll take I am going to stay here until you come out. I'm so sorry Bones. Please open the door so we can talk?" He asked gently. The tears welled in her eyes once more but she willed them away. She sat still until she heard a light thump coming from the hall. She lightly made her way to the door and looked out the peephole. She saw him sitting on the floor with his head in his hands. With her forehead resting up against her door, eyes shut and tears running down her face she debated on what to do; open the door and talk to him? or let him sit there until he gets tired and leaves?..

Booth walked out of the lab and went straight to her apartment on his first stop to finding her. Her car was parked in her usual spot so that was a good sign. He walked up to the door and knocked loudly,

"Bones. Open up. I'm sorry please we need to talk." Nothing. He knocked once more and pressed his ear up to her door. He didn't hear any movement. He pulled out his keys and found the one that opens her door. He pushed it into the lock and tried to turn it but it didn't work. Weird. He made sure it was the right key and tried again. It wouldn't open. Did she change her locks? When did she change her locks? Booth decided to figure that out later and went on to other stops.

The coffee cart. No

Wong Foos. No

The Diner. No

The Jeffersonian gardens. No

Even the lab once more. No.

She was nowhere to be found. He asked around these areas to see if she had been seen and no one saw her today. He started to get nervous. He went back to the FBI and put a track on her phone. Her last known location was at her apartment a few hours ago. Booth decided to go back to her apartment in an attempt to talk to her. Once he arrived back at her door he knocked again,

"Bones I know you're there. I tracked your phone. I don't care how long it'll take I am going to stay here until you come out. I'm so sorry Bones. Please open the door so we can talk?" No movement was made so he took off his jacket and took a seat against the wall across from her door and waited. He put his head in his hands and thought about what he was going to say to her. He didn't know how he was going to fix this but he was going to try his hardest. He was so caught up in his thoughts he didn't notice the sound of her lock turning and the door opening slightly...

I hope I dont take too long for the next chapter. -J.A.
