Picking up the Pieces

It looked as though they all had the same idea; all 4 of them were heading to Emma's room to talk to her. The decided it might freak her out a bit if they all went at the same time so Shalimar went first.

She knocked softly on the door.

"Come in" the feral opened the door with the plate of pasta she'd made for her sister in her hand.

"Hey Em. I though you might be hungry" she handed the plate to the psyonic as she sat down on the bed beside her.

"Thanks Shal. I am kind of hungry" Shalimar could see the pieces of broken mirror on the floor and the blood on Emma's hand.

"Em what happened to your hand?" Shal asked gently, not wanting to sound too worried.

"Its nothing, I just cut my finger when the mirror broke that's all"

Shalimar didn't have to be a telempath to know that she was hiding something.

"Em, what's happening to you?" the feral couldn't keep the note of concern and fear out of her voice.

"I don't know Shal, I'm so scared" she broke down in tears as her feral sister wrapped her arms around her.

"Sh sh Em it's ok. I know that I can't even begin to imagine what you're going through right now but I know what its like to feel like you're loosing control. I want to help you Em but you need to tell me what's going on."

"You can't help me Shal, no one can" she looked at the feral with eyes full of fear, pain and confusion.

"Em you're scaring me. Don't talk like that" Shal had started to cry now too.

"I'm so sorry Shal. I think I need to be on my own right now. Don't worry about me. I'll be ok."

Shalimar knew that she wasn't going to listen to anything else she said so she left Emma alone like she asked.

As soon as she walked out of the door the feral burst into tears.

"Shal what happened?" Adam asked as he put his arms around her.

"Adam we have to help her. She's so scared and in so much pain"

"I'll go and try to talk to her" it was Brennan's turn now.

"Em?" he knocked on the door of her room

"Go away Brennan"

"You know that's not going to happen Em. Please let me in"

He could hear her crying as she opened the door. She practically fell into his arms. It brought out the big brother in him, seeing her looking like such a scared little girl.

"I don't know who I am anymore Brennan" she sobbed.

"Then I'll have to remind you." He said as he stroked his little sister's hair.

"You're Emma DeLauro, the strongest, smartest, most understanding person I know. And you're the coolest little sister anyone could ever have. I'm not going to pretend that I can make this all better because I can't. But please don't hide this from us, we love you"

"I know you do but I just don't think I can handle this anymore."

"You know we'll do anything we can to help you through this, right?" she'd stopped crying now. Brennan always knew the right thing to say to make her feel better.

"I know I just feel so lost sometimes"

"Everybody feels like that sometimes Em." He gently steered her to the bad and sat her down.

"You know that Jesse and Adam both want to talk to you too?"

"I thought they might" she smiled. It was the first time she'd smiled in days.

Brennan walked back to the others

"Jess, you're up man"

"Is she ok?" he was a little nervous about talking to her

"Well she's stopped crying and she looks a bit more like herself"

Jesse peaked his head around her door.

"Em can I come in?"

"Hey Jess, come on in. You guys don't need to do this little intervention thing, I feel much better now" she did feel a little better, now she knew that they were all there for her.

"I know but I wanted to talk to you anyway"

He sat on the bed beside her

"Em I don't know if you've noticed but I've been trying to tell you this for a while" he knew this was the right time to tell her

"You're like no one I've ever known. You make my heart beat a million times faster when you look at me. You're stunning, amazing, strong, smart and a little bit scary sometimes."

"Jess what are you saying?" she was pretty sure that she knew what he was going to say because it was the same thing she had wanted to say to him for so long. She could feel the waves of love coming from him. They were comforting.

"Em" he took her hand "I think I'm in love with you"

She squeezed his hand tightly.

"Thank you Jess"

"What for?"

"For letting me know that you feel the same as me"

She kissed him. She knew this couldn't last forever but there was so much love between them and she needed to feel that right now.

Neither of them spoke for a few minutes they just kissed and pretended the rest of the world didn't exist.

Jesse got up to leave so Adam could talk to her

"Don't go to far away Jess. Please"

"Never" he whispered as he kissed her forehead.

Adam was waiting outside the door which Jesse had left open. He didn't know what to say to her.

"Its ok Adam, you don't have to say anything" she looked at him with one of her sweet smiles on her face. Her talk with Jesse had really cheered her up.

"Yes I do. There's something I have to say to all of you. I'm sorry."

Emma could feel so much guilt and sorrow coming from him. She wondered how he managed to carry that much guilt around with him.

"I know you are, but none of this is your fault"

He didn't say anything; he just walked over and started picking up the pieces of the broken mirror.
