She made her way into her apartment and went right over to the fridge. "This is what I need tonight." She took out the bottle of wine and poured herself a large glass. She leaned over onto her counter and let out a long breath. "How am I going to keep these people at arms length?" Just then her phone goes off.

She looked at the caller ID Ricky " Hiya babe, how is Boston treating you?" She made her way over to the couch and plopped down.

"It's good baby, it's not the same when you're not here. I was hanging out with Helen the other night and she just isn't as fun as you."

She instantly paled, she knew what he was doing. She had been friends with him for years before they finally hooked up. When he wanted to let his current girlfriend know he had met someone he would bring them into the conversation very casually. Being honest with herself she knew it was only a matter of time before this would happen, but she didn't think it would be this soon. Come on what the fuck it's been like… she looked down at her phone to see the date 6 fucking days? "

Baby, are you still there? You haven't said anything."

"Sorry Ricky, I was just thinking about a new case we were talking about at work" she lied, trying to keep the tears inside and her voice steady. "Hey Ricky I have to go. The team wants to go out to the bar and hang. I'll call you some time. Wish Helen my best."

"Yeah Garcia, I will. Talk to you later." Click

She looked at her phone. She knew exactly what he was doing. He was never one for confrontation in the love department. The fact that he called her Garcia was his way of saying it's over. She threw her phone down onto the coffee table and downed her glass of wine.

Family, yeah right! She thought. "Now that Ricky has a new squeeze I will soon be a long forgotten memory for them. This is why I need to keep this team far away from me."

She poured herself another glass and downed that one too. She went to finish her unpacking. She placed her iPod on shuffle and decided that she was not going to give a fuck. Fuck Ricky! And then she groaned. "Shit, that is exactly what I want to do right now."

They always had the best drunken sex. He became like a predator and she was the prey. It was hard and fast and she loved every second of it.

She needed to get her mind away from Ricky and sex. She walked into her bathroom and started the tub. The best part about this apartment was the pervious owner put in a huge claw foot tub. She placed some bath salts in the water and went over to her iPod.

She found her broken heart playlist and took off her clothes. She was just about to slide into the tub when there was a knock at the door.

"Maybe if I ignore it, they will go away?" She just stayed quiet for a minute but there was a knock again. She growled and grabbed her robe. "I'm coming!" under her breath she was chanting fuck "of all the nights for someone to come here it has to be tonight, the night my life is falling apart?" and then it happened a single tear fell down her cheek. No No NO! if I start crying now I won't stop.

She made it to the door and hastily opened it. There stood Derek Morgan, his face was in shock with a small grin slowly replacing the shocked look. "If this is how you will answer the door; I am going to have to come over more often." He said motioning to her half open robe. She quickly looked down and fixed herself.

"What can I do for you?" She was trying to hide the pain she was feeling inside.

"It's just… Sometime is wrong, I know it is. So I asked Hotch for your address. I told him I was going to check on you. Are you going to let me in?" She moved to the side to let him walk in.

"Have a seat, I am gonna put some clothes on and drain the bath. I will be right back. Make yourself at home."

With that she walked to her bedroom found some pajamas and walked over to the bathroom. Once she got in she turned fast and locked the door. She pulled the plug on the tub and let out a long breath. Why is he here? Can tonight not get any worse? First Ricky and now Morgan is here. I'm not even safe in my own home. Okay, lets get it together before he wonders what you are doing.

Morgan was sitting on her couch just surveying the room. This was defiantly Garcia's apartment. He wouldn't expect anything less. There was color everywhere, a Super 8 placed facing the wall with some movies on the side. He also took notice of the wine bottle almost empty and the wine glass on the coffee table right next to her phone.

As he looked over at her phone it vibrated. He glanced over at it and saw Ricky come up with a text saying 'Sorry, I didn't mean for this to happen. You know how it is…'

Morgan didn't have to be a profiler to understand the text message and the wine.

The bathroom door opened and Garcia walked out. "So Agent Morgan, what do I owe the pleasure of seeing you this evening?"

Morgan couldn't take his eyes off of her. She was beautiful. Her hair was up in a messy bun and her tank top was tight against her ample chest. "Umm… So Garcia, what's going on? You seemed to not be yourself. When we were in Boston you were… I don't know the life of the party sort of speak? Not to mention you have had over half a bottle of wine and when I came over you looked like you were trying not to cry."

She looked at him wide-eyed. Who the fuck did this guy think he was? She stood up and looked him dead in the face "Excuse me?"

He stood up feeling as that he was now at a disadvantage "I was just checking in on you."

"Who the FUCK do you think you are? You come over here and accost me? You don't even know me. I think it's best if you leave…" she walked over to the door to open it.

He followed her deflated "He didn't deserve you… you are so beautiful…Inside and out." With that he left he apartment.

She closed the door behind him and finally let all the tears fall. Tears for Ricky, tears for her lost family in Boston, and tears for trying to push away what seems like a great group of people. It was times like this that she missed her mom the most.

What she didn't know was that Morgan was on the other side of the door. He could hear her muffled sobs. I'll get her to let me in… With that he walked out of her apartment building.
