This story starts in the episode titled Lo-Fi
The team and I are on the plane to New York City to catch the killer, or killers, connected to the sting of murders happening. 'Aaron seems to be distracted,' I think silently to myself, as I watch him. While I'm sitting here with my best friends, Derek, Penelope and JJ, looking over the case I ask, "Do you know what's wrong with Hotch?" "No, but he looks deep in thought," D replied, as he looks over at Aaron. JJ leaned over asking, "Is everything okay with you two?" I just shook my head thinking, 'I really need to walk away before I cry,' as I remember our fights from the past month. I got up and ran to the restroom to get a hold of my tear, before anyone noticed them. As I closed the door I heard JJ, Penelope and D shout, "Laura, Laura, are you okay? What's going on?" I just ignored them, closing and locking the door, to turn around and just stare at myself. As I start to think of all the fights I've had with Aaron, I finally let the tears fall. He's someone I don't want to loose, because I'm in love with him.
I was startled out of my thoughts to a loud knock on the door. My brothers worried voice was next to come asking, "Laura, you okay?" I quickly wiped my face and put on a fake smile hoping he wouldn't notice. Opening the door, I replied, "Yeah, fine bubba. Why do you ask?" He looked over my face without replying, the sighed. He guided me backwards, further into the room, then turned to shut the door. As he turned around he finally replied asking, "What's wrong, sis?" then continued saying, "You know I can read you like a book," before I could interrupt him. I let out a long and tearful sigh thinking, 'I should of known.' "Aaron and I… We… We've been fighting a lot. I… hmmmm... I think he's going to end our relationship," I sobbed, throwing my arms around his shoulder, burying my face in his neck. It's as if once I start talking I can stop, continuing with, "But I love him bubba, I love him so much. It hurts me because we only seem to fight, I don't know what to do bubba," as I sob in his neck. He just wraps his arms around my waist to hold me, whispering comforting words in my ear, as I cry into his shoulder. After finally calming down and separating, he turned and crabbed a paper towel wetting it. Instead of handing it to me he starts to wipe my face. Just as he finished, a loud knock then D's voice saying, "Plane's about to land," to inform us that we need to sit down and strap in. He cupped my face asking, "Now, you okay?" I just nodded checking myself in the mirror, to make sure my makeup wasn't messed up. Finally finding my voice, I replied, "Yeah, lets go," sighing as he opened the door. We made or way to strap in for landing. Nobody said anything about what happened thankfully. After landing we make out way to the station to get started on our work.
As we arrived at the station, a woman with blonde hair looking exactly like Aaron's Ex, Hayley, greeted him with a warm smile, as the others and I were greeted with a cold mask. That thought made my eye's narrow at her as well as made me suspicious. 'I need to keep an eye on those two,' I thought, with my eyes still narrowed. I look over to David to see see him watching Aaron with a frown. Just as I was about to look away he caught my eye, raising a questioning eyebrow. I answered with a shrug of my shoulders and a frown, then turned, only to frown deeper as she laughed at something Aaron said.
That night I shared a room with Penelope and JJ. As we walked into the room Penelope turned asking, "Is everything okay with you and boss man? I noticed the tension around you both today, I have to know you guys are okay, my Italian sweetness." "Can we go out tonight? I will need alcohol to have this conversation, Baby Girl," I asked, as I changed into a short dress and knee high boots. She replied with a happy grin saying, "Sure but you buying," then turned asking JJ if she wanted to join. "Sure, just let me change real fast," she replied, then went to change into an outfit similar to mine.
