Part 6 ;)
Brennan rolled over and she heard a crumple. She jumped up and was relieved to see that it was a bit of paper that had been lying on her pillow. As she opened it, she saw that it had 글쓰기 on it, from Angela.
I’ve gone to get us 공식 만찬, 저녁 식사 and to scold everybody… none of them has stopped 의해 to see 당신 yet… though I think Sweets has been asleep all day, so he doesn‘t count.
Angela.
Brennan read it again and tried to make some sense out of it. Why would anyone come and visit? When she sat up, she grasped her head. “Ouch!” she wiped the hair out of her eyes and looked around. It was dark, but not night-time, was the conclusion that she came to as she opened the blinds.
The first thing she did was to go and wash her face with cold water; that didn’t work, so then she tried hot. Wiping her face dry with a towel, she stumbled her way around, still dizzy, and found her phone.
“Oh, Sweetie, you’re awake! I was starting to think that 당신 were dead.” Brennan waited as she considered that bizarre comment. “So how are 당신 feeling? Has something terrible happened, is that why you’re calling?”
“No, Ange, I’m fine. I was calling because…” she tried to remember why.
“Because…? 당신 know what? Just hang tight, I bought noodles, deciding to spare 당신 from my terrible cooking. 당신 got a concussion, Brennan. Do 당신 have memory loss? How much do 당신 remember?”
Brennan ignored the last comment, trying not to think to hard about what had happened; because she knew that she had no idea. “I was calling to tell 당신 that I don’t need any special treatment. There are 더 많이 than a million cases in the United States each year. And mine was probably just a mild one, otherwise they wouldn’t have sent me home. 당신 can go 집 if 당신 want.”
“Come on Bren, when was the last time we had dinner? Anyway, 당신 were totally loopy, 당신 deserve special treatment.”
“Loopy? Is that even a correct term?”
“It is now. 당신 didn’t see yourself. If 당신 ever blushed, 당신 would have. And I do mean that bad.”
“Why? What did I do?” Brennan remembered parts of it, she just wanted to know what everyone else knew.
“You did throw up over the nurse, but I could tell that he was an asshole so that didn’t really matter… Oops, I’m getting pulled over for using my phone… I’m sorry officer, but I really need to go.”
“No she doesn’t” Brennan shouted into the phone. “I’m fine, Ange.”
“She’s had a concussion, she needs me. I’ll be 집 soon Sweetie.”
“That really isn’t necessary.” Brennan shouted into the phone, but Angela had hung up. Brennan looked around for a few seconds, realized that her head was still hurting, took the pills that were on her bedside 표, 테이블 with another note from Angela, and threw herself facedown back on her bed. Later would be when she realized how she had acted with Booth, and when she realized how much she wished that she hadn’t done any of that. She also couldn’t help but feel thankful for Booth not taking advantage of her.
When Angela arrived, she pretended she was asleep. Though it didn’t work because Angela loudly announced her arrival.
“So, how are 당신 feeling?” Angela asked while they had set up dinner. “Have 당신 got your memory back yet?”
“I think so. Can I make something clear?” Brennan asked, putting down her fork.
“Yeah, sure.” Angela answered through a mouthful.
“Some affective results of concussions are loss of interest in favourite activities 또는 items, tearfulness and displays of emotion that are inappropriate to the situation.”
“Whoa, what did 당신 do, memorise Wikipedia?”
“Yes. It is a very useful 출처 of information.”
“If 당신 ever need any.” murmured Angela.
“What? What I was meaning to ask was… which one of those was worse for me?”
“I… um…” Angela stuttered, but Brennan gave her a ‘please tell me’ look. “Definitely the third.”
“Oh no… really?”
“You should have seen Booth’s face… he had that whole ‘I’m a little catholic boy’ thing going on.”
“I’m pretty sure that I don’t know what that means.”
“Oh, I’m pretty sure 당신 do.” Angela grinned. Brennan just looked even 더 많이 confused.
“Ok, Sweetie, sure, 당신 have no idea, yet 당신 memorize the Wikipedia.”
“Memorizing things was never difficult… I am extremely smart.”
“I know.”
They both continued eating.
“You know what?” Angela started.
“No.”
“You should get together with Booth. I mean, it’s about time. Are 당신 telling me that he hasn’t said anything to 당신 yet?”
“Like what?” Brennan acted innocent.
“You know what… he’s been in 사랑 with 당신 since the 일 he met you, and he hasn’t said a thing?” Brennan looked down. Nobody knew about what had happened a few nights before, and nobody knew about what had happened years ago.
“Angela, are 당신 sure that 당신 haven’t had too much wine?”
Angela picked up her glass and looked. “Oh, I probably have. Just forget what I told 당신 then, Ok?” she giggled. “Pass me the ketchup.”
“With noodles?”
“Just pass me the ketchup, Sweetie.”
“Alright.” grinned Brennan. But then she remembered what Angela had just said, and her smile faltered. What if she really was hurting Booth? She poured herself another glass. Maybe she would forget all of this the 다음 morning… maybe she could give herself another concussion… that was when she knew that she was drunk too.
“Ange…”
“Yeah?”
“Booth did tell me how he felt.”
Angela’s mouth hug open and she had to cover it with her hand to stop 음식 coming out. “No!”
“Yes, he did.”
“Wow. So, how was it?”
“What?”
Angela tilted her head as if to say ‘you know what’.
“No, Ange… I turned him down.
“What! Oh god, Bren, 당신 didn’t…”
“I did.”
“Wow. He must have been crushed. Why did 당신 say no? He’s… Booth. Oh god, I can’t believe 당신 turned him down… I can’t imagine…”
“That’s enough, Ange.” Brennan had to stop her to keep the 이미지 out of her brain.
“I just don’t understand why 당신 said no. I don’t get it.” Angela shook her head.
“Well, it was partly because, we sort of tried it before.”
“No!”
“Can 당신 please stop that.”
“Ok…” Angela massaged her head. “Oh my god… when?”
“Our first case.”
“You’re joking. No you’re not, 당신 never joke… Oh god.”
“Please stop saying that.”
“I don’t know what 당신 expect me to say. But, 당신 never… slept together? Right?”
“No, of course not. He got me drunk.”
“I don’t believe that.”
“Don’t then.” Brennan picked up her glass again.
“It’s just…” Brennan was saying a while later. They were both sitting on her 부엌, 주방 floor. “I don’t really want to end up alone.” she turned to Angela, who was nodding.
“Yeah… I know. What the hell am I doing with Wendell?”
“I don’t know. 당신 see… I don’t want to end up alone, 또는 risk our friendship… what if it all ends… I’m hurting him in order to get what I want and I don’t care. I’m a terrible person.”
“No, Sweetie, you’re not… do 당신 know what? 당신 are reminding me of me and Hodgins.”
“Well, that didn’t end well.”
“Yeah… but I’m still here, aren’t I? And so are you. And so is Hodgins. What I’m trying to say is… it doesn’t have to end like it did all those years ago… 또는 like it did with your parents.”
Brennan froze. “Is that why I’m so cold?”
“I’m not sure… I thought 당신 hated psychology.”
“I do.” Brennan agreed. A bit later they both fell asleep.
