She's WHAT!...
Devastation
Heartbreak
Sadness
Those are the 3 words that sum up how you feel about losing someone you love. Agent Emily Marie Prentiss died exactly 1 week ago. How have the team been coping, what are their coping mechanisms, are there any? will they quit the unit or will they just simply burn out? ….
Standing on the sidewalk looking up at the building in front of him Hotch just couldn't bring himself to go in, he just kept seeing Emily's face everywhere he looked. He's been haunted ever since her death and for the life of him can't stop wanting her back it.
He didn't know how long he'd been standing in front of the building just staring but he sensed David Rossi walk over to stand beside him and as hotch was always the 1st one in, in the morning he guessed it he'd been there a long time
Dave joined him on the silent vigil
*Huh!* ''Why? Just why?''
''I know Dave, I know'' hotch said ''I don't want to go in either but we have to she would want us to''
''I know but it's not the same ''
Hotch was starting to think he'd go crazy he just couldn't deal with it. He, THEY just lost a member of their family and god only knew how hotch was holding it together because he sure as hell didn't
Morgan and Garcia arrive together standing behind Rossi and hotch closely followed by JJ, then Reid
The whole team stood just stood looking at the building in front of them, just looking
Looking at there jobs, there family, there whole life all wrapped up into one simple boring brick building
Tears suddenly prickling her eyes JJ tried to blink them away but only succeeded a little, she had to be strong because if one of them feel apart then they all would, so taking a deep breath she cleared her throat and started towards the building brushing hotch's arm as she passed
Hotch felt JJ brush against his arm he watched her go up to the door and suddenly felt a wave of a completely different emotion sweeping through his body
Pride
He was proud of JJ for stepping up even when he couldn't
She stopped just before the door and looked at the handle, after 5 seconds she grasped it and turned to look at the team with unfallen tears in her eyes
Looking down at JJ try to be the brave one was something else she and Emily were like sisters. They did everything together and here she was stepping up
Looking the team over she nodded and pulled the door with a sigh
Stepping into the hall wanting more than anything in the world, more than ANYTHING in this world for her friend, her sister, mentor to be walking trough this door with her
She wanted
EMILY
