(Derek's point of view)
Penelope has been acting really strange. She doesn't want to spend a second alone with me. She hasn't been flirting at all. She also hasn't responded to my flirting. I wasn't sure why.
I honestly couldn't remember the last time Penelope didn't flirt with me. The only time I could remember is when she got mad at me. She didn't seem mad this time. I thought it might have something to do with Sam her boyfriend.
It was like she was trying to avoid me. I didn't know what to do. I couldn't scream flirt with me. I had a terrible week. Savannah noticed my bad mood. I didn't really want to talk to her about Penelope. I just simply said it was work related.
Everyday was getting harder. I tried time and time again to get Penelope to talk. Most of the time she just walked away or quickly got off the phone. I felt like maybe I should just walk away. I couldn't force her to tell me what was wrong.
I was thrilled when we had a case in Texas. The case kept me and my mind busy. About half way through the case we had a hacker involved. Hotch sent for Penelope to join us. She acted very professional with me. Then I caught her teasing Reid.
I was really hurt that she was treating everyone else the same. I went from sad to piss. What did I do? I thought about yelling at her. I wanted to shake her.
I calm down some by the time the case was over. On the jet home I decided to try again. I sat next to Penelope. She was knitting. I watched for a short time.
"Hotch said we're getting a few days off." I said attempting to make conversation.
"I heard that." She responded not even looking at me.
"Do you have big plans?" I asked.
"I could use some sleep." She answered.
"Yeah me too. Do you plan to see Sam?" I asked.
"I don't know if he isn't too busy. How about you is Savannah home?" She asked seeming uninterested.
"No she's out of town for work." I said.
It was silent again. I couldn't think of anything else to say. I noticed Penelope put her stuff down. A short time later she was asleep. I was annoyed as I watched her. I wasn't sure how much more I can take.
