Hey guys! I'm glad you enjoyed the last chapter! the story will conclude soon I'm just figuring out when that'll be. Here is chapter 6
The day dragged on for the team.
In the many years Brennan worked at the Jeffersonian she never wanted the work day to end... besides today. She kept herself holed up in limbo and was thankful that no cases came up. The minute it hit 4pm she gathered her things and made her way home. She dodged another attempt at speaking from Angela and went home. Brennan's emotions were conflicting with each other currently; on one hand she felt guilty for treating Angela and Booth the way she has been but on the other hand she was still angry and hurt by them. All she wanted was peace from this whole ordeal.
Booth sat in his office and pretended to be doing work. He couldn't get his mind off of his heartbroken partner. The cruel words circled in his mind, a reminder of the pain and sadness he gave to his Bones. He didn't know what to do. After reviewing the words he spoke he concluded that everything he said was bullshit. He valued every word that came out of her mouth. He didn't love Hannah like he said he did and he didn't move on from Brennan. He was still in love with her and it terrified him that he might have just ruined their relationship or any future they had together. At 4 he finally gave up on work and made his way home. He needed to figure out a way to fix things between him and Brennan. He would wait for her to come to him like she asked but he wanted to fix things soon. He wouldn't push her though.
Angela sulked around her office all day. She still hated herself for what she had done. Everything Brennan had said to her was true, she always butts into peoples business she didn't belong in. All she wanted was for her best friend to find love with the man she was in love with but she messed that up big time. Hodgins tried a few times to cheer her up, he even suggested going to talk to Brennan for her but she said she would honor Brennan's wishes and wait for her to be ready. When that'll be she didn't know but she would wait for her. 4pm rolled around and the small family decided to head home for the night. Angela make an attempt to talk to Brennan but she just ducked away.
Brennan grabbed take out from the diner and went home for a night of solitude and work. She might return to the lab later on in the night.
Angela went home and went straight to bed. Hodgins worried about his wife. He grabbed her some food and made his way to their bedroom to keep her company.
Booth made his way home. He sulked into his apartment, hung his jacket on the coat hanger and went to his bedroom. He saw Hannah sitting on the bed working on a story. A sense of dread pushed its way into his mind. Hannah was here with him but he didn't want her to be. He grew angry with her. This is all her fault. Don't be an asshole Seeley, this is entirely your fault. His anger went away when she looked at him and smiled. They greeted each other with a small kiss.
"Hi Seeley, how was work?" He inwardly shuttered, instantly thinking of the "conversation" him and Brennan had that morning,
"It was okay. No case so I just did paperwork." He began getting changed into comfortable clothing. Hannah had gotten up and was going into the kitchen. Booth felt for his phone but couldn't find it.
"Hey babe? Can you grab my cell in my coat pocket?" She called back a yeah. As he settled his t shirt he heard Hannah call for him,
"Seeley, can you come here one moment?" Confused he made his way out of the bedroom. He saw her standing by the island holding a crumpled piece of paper,
"Seeley, what the hell is this?" She grew angry. He took the paper and read it. He quickly saw that it was the letter "Brennan" wrote to him. His mouth gaped open a little,
"Hannah, this is not what it looks like." She put her hands on her hips,
"Oh really? Because this looks like your partner is professing her love for you. I can't believe it!" He tried to calm her down,
"Hannah please let me explain-" She cut him off,
"Nope. This isn't happening. I cannot believe that bitch did this to us. I mean seriously is she so cold and alone that she has to try to steal my boyfriend?!" Booth's eyes widened in anger. No one talks about his Bones like that,
"Now wait a minute. She is not cold or alone. She is an amazing woman who deserves everything. How could you say that stuff about her?" She grew more angry,
"Why are you defending her? That ice queen is trying to ruin us how can you sit there and defend her? and I'm saying all of this stuff because its true." They stood face to face now,
"I'm defending her because she is my best friend. She is my family and I will not stand here and let you talk down about her." Her eyes widened,
"Are you serious right now? Seeley, she is trying to drive us apart! That soul-less bitch needs to go." He shook his head and began yelling,
"I don't think she's the one who needs to go." She took a step back at his implication.
"So you want me to leave?" He sighed and spoke,
"Are you making me choose between her and you?" She nodded. He took a deep breath and answered her previous question,
"Then yes. I refuse to be with someone who makes me choose and who will talk about my family in that way. Bones is the most amazing person in the world and would do anything for me. She greeted you with open arms even though it hurt her and this is how you view her? You don't even know the backstory of this whole thing. The fact that you jump to that conclusion of her tells me you are not who I thought you were. I'm leaving but when I return in an hour I want you completely gone." She tried to stop,
"Seeley-" He shrugged her off and left his apartment, leaving a devastated Hannah behind. He went to the founding fathers and ordered a drink, giving his now ex time to clear out of his apartment.
