AN: Ok so this is my piece about JJ saying goodbye. I hate that she had to leave, but I figured if my man can suck it up and write for the break up song prompts, so can I! So here I go… writing my story… now… oh who am I kidding? This is going to suck writing! I'm dedicating this story to my family. They know who they are, every single one of them!
Disclaimer: I own my procrastination, that's all!

JJ sat in her office packing the rest of her things away as she looked out over the bullpen. She stood up and headed towards Hotch's office. She's figure she'd say goodbye to him first. She knocked on his door and waited for the come in. She entered and saw Hotch setting his phone down, unshed tears in his eyes. She smiled and sat in his visitor's chair.
"So, I'm gone after today" she said. Hotch nodded.
"I know. I was on the phone with the director trying to get this to stop, but it was futile" he said. JJ nodded and looked around the room. The newest picture was one of the team and Jack. They had gotten together for a weekend and played around. Garcia had given everyone a framed picture to remember that time. "It's not going to be the same without you" he said. JJ nodded, wiping away tears.
"I know, but I guess this will be an ok thing" she croaked out. She hated that she was so weak, but she was being forced to leave her family for a job she didn't want.
"From where I'm sitting, this is a very good career advancement" Hotch said. JJ nodded.
"I know, but I don't want to leave you guys" she said. Hotch waved his hand in dismissal.
"Forget about us" he said. He saw the look JJ gave him and he sighed. "I'm trying to make this easy on all of us by making your new job seem better. We will all miss you JJ. No one has the ability to handle the press like you do" Aaron said standing up. JJ stood up too. The two embraced before he watched JJ walk away to the next person on her list.
Hotch never understood the power of goodbye until now.
