JJ and Morgan pulled up out the front of Lilith's house and went to knock on the door but it opened slowly.
"Fallon?" JJ called out worried as Morgan opened the door fully to reveal the house had been trashed. They instinctually pulled out their guns and moved through the house calling out Lilith's name.
Suddenly they heard singing coming from upstairs. It was Lilith's voice. They walked up the stairs and to the bathroom.
"Fallon?" Morgan called out
"Mor…*hiccup* Morgan?" Lilith asked, her voice slurring.
"We just wanted to come check on you" JJ called out
"Hey JJ!" Lilith said excitedly and Morgan and JJ shared a concerned look.
"Are you decent? Can we come in?" JJ asked
"Yeah! Come in, Come in!" Lilith said before they heard some splashing.
"I'll wait out here, let me know if when I can come in" Morgan said to JJ, who nodded. She opened the door to reveal a large bathroom, much like the rest of the house it was trashed, the mirror was broken and there was glass all over the floor. There were also empty beer bottles and one empty vodka bottle as well. JJ looked at Lilith to find her holding a half empty vodka bottle, her arms were covered in small cuts; no doubt from the mirror, her eyes were all puffy and red and she was sitting in the bathtub wearing boyleg undies and a black tank top.
"Morgan, you can come in, she is wearing clothes but uh, prepare yourself" JJ whispered through the door. Morgan walked in and was shocked.
"Oh damn" Morgan muttered before they heard Lilith singing to the radio again.
"Lilith, why are you wearing clothes in the bath?" JJ asked softly walking over to her, avoiding the broken glass. Lilith stopped singing and looked down at herself.
"Thought I took all my clothes off?" She said confused before hiccupping and laughing.
"Come on sweetheart, it's time to out of the bath, it's ice cold" JJ said as she tried to take the vodka bottle away from Lilith.
"No! I need it!" Lilith cried
"You don't need the alcohol; you need to feel the pain" Morgan started to say but JJ shushed him.
"I'll give it back to you, let me just get you out of the cold water and in some dry clothes okay?" JJ asked and Lilith nodded, her eyes starting to close even though Lilith struggled against it.
"Come on, Lilith" JJ said helping her stand up and Morgan came over and picked up Lilith so she didn't walk through the broken glass.
"Normally, I don't get this bad… normally Re…Reid is here to look after me…" Lilith muttered to herself falling in and out of sleep.
"It's okay, JJ and I will look after you" Morgan said softly as he carried her to her room.
"I'll get her changed and put her too sleep" JJ said to Morgan as he left the bedroom.
"I'll call Hotch and Gideon" Morgan said
"Come on Lilith, let's get some dry clothes on and then put you too bed" JJ said softly
"No!" Lilith shouted
"I don't want to sleep, when I sleep I dream about him" Lilith cried
"Who is him?" JJ asked while helping Lilith change clothes.
"The first person my parents ever killed… my twin brother" Lilith whispered, shocking JJ before passing out.
JJ left the Lilith in the bedroom and walked into the lounge room to find to Morgan on the phone to Hotch.
"You should have seen her Hotch, she was in the bath, still wearing clothes, surrounded by bottles of beer and vodka. She said to me that Reid normally stops her from getting this bad at this time of the year" Morgan said
"Okay, we will let you know how she is when she wakes up" Morgan said hanging up.
"What did Hotch say?" JJ asked
"That one of us should be here when she wakes up to monitor what she is like" Morgan said
"Lilith told me something before she passed out" JJ muttered
"What was it?" Morgan asked
"You remember that first victim that Gideon was telling us about?" JJ asked and Morgan nodded.
"It was her twin brother" JJ said softly and Morgan's face paled.
"Oh man" He muttered
…..
Lilith woke up to find herself back in her own bed. She looked around confused before remembering JJ and Morgan helping her.
"Oh man" Lilith muttered trying to sit up but her head started spinning.
"There is a bucket next to the bed and some aspirin and water on her bedside table" Morgan said walking into the room. Lilith took a sip of water and swallowed the aspirin.
"Thank you" Lilith muttered embarrassed.
"There is no need to get embarrassed Fallon, we have all woken up like that at some point in our lives" Morgan joked
"You guys didn't need to come look after me" Lilith muttered laying back down.
"Of course we did. You should have told us that this was what you were planning on doing on your personal days" Morgan said firmly
"I do it this time every year, either on the day or straight after I finish a case. Normally I don't get that bad though because Re…Reid is here to look after me" Lilith said, choking back a sob at Reid's name.
"He is still looking after you; he was the one that sent us" Morgan admitted and Lilith scoffed.
"Yeah, like he cares about me at all anymore after what he said" Lilith muttered angrily and Morgan knew it was pointless to argue with her at the moment.
"You got a couple more days of personal time left, do we need to have someone here to stop you getting that bad again?" Morgan asked seriously
"No, I only ever go on one bender… though admittedly normally it's only for one night and not 3 days but honestly I think I'm just going to sleep for most of the next few days" Lilith muttered tiredly.
"Okay, well, we will expect you to reply to our messages this time and if you don't reply within 12 hours we are coming to check on you again" Morgan said and Lilith nodded, already falling back to sleep.
