*Author's Note: OMG GUYZ! IT HAS BEEN MONTHES! Do you hate me? Of course you do… my excuse? Well… I was waiting to write this until JJ got kicked off (starts crying hysterically) then school and volunteering and other crap got in the way and then the new chick joined the show and I was like WTF! Then I went all THIS IS FANFIC WORTHY as soon as Garcia assumed that Reid thought she was pretty. This is a sequel-ish to Broken Glass so PLEASE read that one FIRST.*
**PS: This is taking place right after Garcia and Morgan come back from their honeymoon (again read Broken Glass firset)
***Disclaimer: I do not own Criminal Minds or its characters/plot. Dear CBS: stop jacking with my favorite tv show.***
I'm leaving…I'm leaving…Oh God… I'm leaving, JJ had been holding back bitter tears for the last fifteen minutes. Spencer… I'm leaving… Spencer… I'm leaving you… and our family… but mostly you… In the dark of her office she continued to pack her things. She lifted the framed Redskin tickets and photo of her Reid at the game, her tears threatening to spill over her lashes. Spence… I love you like crazy… but I'm leaving… to Washington… Walking past her mirror, she caught a glimpse of her puffy eyes and tangled hair. Dear Spence… remember me… please… Wiping tears from her eyes and collecting her box, JJ exited her office to the worried stares of her coworkers.
"What's up?" Emily asked from her desk, finishing up a game of Texas Hold 'Em with Reid.
"Full House," grinned Reid, collecting his prize of mini Snickers.
"I'm going to Washington," JJ replied, her voice dead, eyes fixed at the carpet.
"So you'll miss the case?" Derek looked up from Garcia, transferring her over to his waist, "Don't worry, I'm sure we'll manage."
"I'm not coming back…from Washington," JJ's voice cracked. There was a smash of a coffee mug against the floor. The dark liquid forming a puddle around Reid's feet.
"You're-you're not coming back? At all?" Reid's eyes expanded, his hands trembling.
JJ shook her head, hiding her face behind her corn silk hair.
"Damn DC," Garcia wailed, her glasses becoming fogged, "Can't Hotch do anything?"
"He tried," JJ refused to look at Spencer… her Spencer.
"They can't just take you away," Reid whispered, standing up to embrace the girl of his dreams. The hug was awkward, lasting longer than it should of. He planted a soft kiss on her cheek, and JJ broke down in his arms. Spencer… keep holding onto me… remember this moment right now… never goodbye… never let go…
Hotch cleared his throat behind the two of them, "The jet's ready. We need to go now if we're going to make it to Oregon before it gets dark."
"Of course," Emily smiled weakly, embracing her best friend/little sister, "I'll call you tonight," she promised.
"Bye guys," JJ choked, before heading out the doors to her mini van. It was there that she sobbed, fully missing the comfort of her family.
*An: ok guyz, sorry its short. But I really wanted the chapter to be more about the dynamic of JJ actually leaving. I know it really wasn't like this in the episode, but I was trying to make it more about Spencer and JJ. I hated how it was in the actual episode, so this was a BIT more dramatic :D please RATE RATE RATE! inkpaperlove OUT.*
