Prompt: Emotionless – Good Charlotte
Emily stared at Hotch her face emotionless. She wouldn't let him have the pleasure of seeing how much his words hurt her. She wouldn't let him see how much pain he had just caused her. She wouldn't let him know how much she loved him.
"If that is the way you want it Hotch then that is the way you get it. I will have my resignation on your desk by the end of the day." Emily said in a cold tone before walking out of Hotch's office.
Hotch watched Emily walk out of his office and his life. He knew that there was no turning back now. He had burnt his last bridge to her all because he was scared. He just couldn't believe that she was willing to resign. He knew that what he did would have repercussions but never in his wildest dreams did he once think that his Emily would quit. He knew then how much he had hurt her even if she didn't let on by her voice or her face.
Emily walked slowly over to her desk and sat down. Her heart was crushed and broken into a million tiny pieces and she just knew that it would never be whole again. She knew that she would never trust her heart to another man ever again. She was tired of giving her heart only to have it given back to her broken and in pieces. She never wanted to love again like she loved Hotch.
As the day went on Emily felt the looks her co-workers were giving her but she ignored them. She did all the work that was on her desk and typed up her resignation. She may love this job but she loved herself more. She refused to come to work every day and let her heart be smashed and broken even more than it already was. She knew that if she had to see Hotch day in and day out that it would break her and she couldn't and wouldn't have that.
She gathered up what little personal stuff she had on her desk and put it in her purse before picking up her files and her resignation letter and heading up to Hotch's office. She took in a deep breath before knocking on the door and then walking in. She set the files on the desk and then set her resignation letter on top of them.
Hotch looked at the files and then the letter on top of the files before looking up at Emily. "You don't have to do this Prentiss."
Emily knew that if she didn't get out of his office that she would break down. "Yeah I do Hotch. Goodbye."
She turned on her heel and quickly walked out of his office before he could say anything else to her. She gave a sad smile to Derek, Spencer, JJ, Dave and Penelope but made her way past them without saying anything. She had no doubt that they would show up at her house probably sometime tonight but right now she couldn't stand around and talk to them. If she did she knew that she would break down and she didn't want to do that in front of everyone.
Hotch watched Emily walk out of the bull pen and out of his life from his office window. His heart broke even more as he saw her shoulders slump. As much as he wanted to go after her he knew that he couldn't. He couldn't let what happen to Haley happen to Emily especially since he loved Emily ten times more than he ever loved Haley. He felt the tears pour out of his eyes as soon as Emily stepped into the elevator and the doors closed behind her. He knew that his life would never be the same now.
