  Summary

  “I think… I think I need help, Booth. Real help,” she admits. It’s something she’s so ashamed of- she hasn’t gone to therapy, outside of Sweets, since she was fifteen. Back then, she spent the entire time staring at the wall, refusing to say a word until she was allowed to leave. It’s not like she’d been much more vulnerable with Sweets either, saying just enough so that she’d still be allowed to work with Booth.
