Prompt: Pieces – Rascal Flatts
Emily kept glancing up at Hotch's office. She knew that she needed to quit because all it was doing was making her heart break even more. She still couldn't believe that he broke up with her. She knew that he loved her but he wasn't going to allow himself to love her. She knew that since he had broken her heart that she wasn't going to let him do it again. She couldn't afford to let him in again.
She felt the tears well up in her eyes and she stood up from her desk and hurried out of the bull pen. She rushed to the women's bathroom. She needed time to calm down and she couldn't do that in the bull pen where she could see him at any moment. She wondered if it was possible to live without a heart because her heart had been broken into a million tiny pieces and it would never be whole again.
As she leaned against the bathroom wall she let the tears run freely down her face. She wasn't sure how long she stood there crying and she didn't really care. She just knew that something had to be done. Could she go on day in and day out seeing him and being able to stay whole and not break down completely? She didn't think so. It was at that moment that she knew what she had to do.
She went to Strauss's office and asked for some vacation time sighting a family Emergency and it was granted. She didn't like using her Mom's position in politics but this was one time she used it without feeling anything. She went back to the bull pen and grabbed her purse and her laptop and walked out again. She felt Hotch's eyes on her as she walked out but she didn't dare turn around. If she turned around she would lose it and she didn't want him to see how much he had broken her.
She went straight home and locked herself in her house. Her cell phone had constantly rang on the way home but she never once answered it. When she looked at her missed calls her heart broke all over again because most of the phone calls were from Hotch himself. She deleted them and the voicemails without even listening to them. She just couldn't bear to hear his voice right now. She was already a mess and she didn't want to break anymore than what she already has so far.
As she sat on her couch she finally started to get angry. How dare he leave her? How dare he call her when he was the reason she was the way she was currently? She stood up and walked to her bedroom. Before she even knew what she was doing she was pulling the things out that he had left at her place. She cut his sweats and shirts up into pieces. She smashed the picture frame that was next to her bed that had a picture of the two of them in it.
She sat down on the bed and let the sobs rack her body. All the anger drained out of her leaving her nothing but pain. She knew now why a person was afraid to let love it. She would never love someone again because if you loved them then that gave them the power to hurt you and break you.
As she cried she finally yelled "DAMN YOU TO HELL AARON HOTCHNER! I LOVED YOU AND LOOK WHAT YOU DID TO ME! YOU BROKE ME! YOU BROKE MY HEART INTO A MILLION TINY PIECES. DAMN YOU AARON DAMN YOU!"
