The Love Deep Within

I Pushed You Down Deep In My Soul For Too Long

Brennan was eager to get back to her daughter. Sitting in her office she quickly finished the report and started packing that's when her computer beeped for an email alert.

Brennan opened it and saw that is was from Booth stating that they had got a confession from their prime suspect.

Brennan leaned back in her chair and was staring at the ceiling. She had to do this. This is what Booth had wanted. Brennan browsed her desk till she found it. 'Dissolution and Liquidation of a Partnership' form duly signed and filled by her. Only one signature was left.

Booth had been in and out of Cullen's office with reports after the confession. Finally he had some quiet time in his office. He rubbed his hand on his forehead. He was frustrated. He had no reason to be. His work was going well and he had a lovely girlfriend but 'damn Bones' how much impact she had on him.

A knock on the door brought Booth back to earth.

"Agent Booth this was sent by Dr. Brennan." Charlie said and handed him a brown envelope and left.

Booth sent a prayer to god stating that it should not be what he thinks it is. But unfortunately he was right. His hands became numb when he held those papers which ended the base of his relationship with Brennan. And once the base is shaken we all know what happens.

"The center must hold." These words came to Booth's mind to mock him.

He gathered courage and left his office.

Brennan was walking back to her office after cataloging the bones and transferring them to a box for its burial. That's when Booth came towards her shouting.

"What the hell is this?!" Booth asked raising the envelope in his hands.

"Dissolution papers. Is something wrong with them?" Brennan asked coldly avoiding eye contact.

"No! Yes! How could you do this?" Booth shouted, "how could you?!"

"It's what you wanted." Brennan replied.

"No! I never wanted this!" Booth said.

"It's what you asked for." Brennan replied.

"Do you really think that I would ask for something like this?" Booth said angrily with a lot of emotion and hurt evident in his voice.

Brennan too let her guard down.

"Yes! Because you did ask for it." Brennan said as her eyes welled with tears.

Warm tears of mixed emotions fell on Booth's cheeks. He took a deep breath and nodded at her and left. Brennan stood there for some time even after the crowd that had gathered to view their fight had dispersed.

"Sweetie Kate is calling you." Angela said but hugged her friend before they both headed to the office.
