A/N OH you lucky people get two today and here is a nice little bit of 'group'

AJ x

JJ walked round the camp grounds for 15 minutes before finally resting at the end of the docks with her feet dangling over the edge skimming the top of the water. She remembered the day he found out what she was and the look he gave her made her feel even more ashamed and dirty than she already did. You see when Shelby was with Scott she felt 'normal', like she was any old teenager that wasn't damaged or broken. As time went on Shelby started to trust him, to love him. Then came the hike up to Dog's Peak and everything changed. They started that hike and he looked at her with worry but when they got back to Horizon a few days later he looked at her like she was a dirty whore. It was at that point that Shelby Merrick swore to never tell anyone what she was ever again.

"Excuse me." A young girl's voice broke JJ train of though.

"I'm sorry but I'm not up to talking much right know." JJ just stared at the sun set on the Horizon.

"That's ok, I don't mind." The girl sat on the dock next to JJ and crossed her legs looking in the same direction as JJ.

She looked over at the girl shocked. The girl looked about 17; she had olive skin and had Korean features. A Smile crossed JJ sad face when she remembered who the girl was.

"How are you Grace?" JJ looked back at the sun set.

"I'm ok Thankyou. My mum told me about your sister. I'm sorry, I really liked her. She used to read me a story when ever she came into the restaurant with some of the other's from here." Grace looked at JJ and saw a single tear run down her cheek.

"Thankyou. Jess always did love to read." JJ wiped the tear away.

They both sat in silence for a while just remembering Jess.

"I have a photo of you and the other Cliffhangers on my bedroom wall. You guys were always my favourite." JJ let out a small laugh as grace spoke "My mum used to tell me a story of something that happened when I was little. Can I tell it to you?"

JJ pulled her knees up to her chest and nodded.

"Well… Me and mum went on one of our mother, daughter camping trips and during the night I got up and went to go to the bathroom. I tried to make my way back but got lost I guess. They searched for me the whole day; Peter even got some of the students here to help look." JJ didn't need telling this story, she was there "I was brought back to my mum late that evening by Ezra. He was the Hero of the town for weeks for finding me." Grace looked at JJ "That's the story I have always been told but its not the one I remember. It wasn't Ezra that saved me from falling from that cliff." JJ looked at Grace "It was you."

"You have a good memory for a kid." JJ sighed remembering how she climbed up the cliff with only her bare hands for support and brought Grace back to safety.

"Thanks." Grace giggled "I know why you didn't take the credit for saving me and its ok…" The docks creaked behind them. They both turned to see Reid standing looking at them.

"JJ, Peter asked me to come and find you, he said something about starting group…" Reid looked a little confused at the concept of 'group'.

"Ok" JJ sighed "I will be there in a minute" Reid walked off back to the cabins.

"I had better get going" Grace stood "Mum will be wondering where I am, I'm only meant to be helping out for a few hours after school." JJ stood up to join Grace in the walk back to the cabins.

"I realised a while ago that you don't have to be scared of the shadows and what they hide because after all their just shadows they cant hurt you." JJ and Grace hugged and said their goodbyes. JJ walked towards the cabin and Grace walked down the hill.

"Oh grace…" JJ yelled back.

"Yeah?" Grace turned back to face JJ.

"You've been spending way too much time round Peter." Both women laughed and continued onto their destinations.

JJ walked into the Lodge and all eyes turned to her.

"This should be fun" She muttered to herself walking over to the empty seat in between Hotch and Kat,

"bout time Jayje." Morgan lent over Hotch and whispered to her. She poked her tongue out at him.

"Ok." Peter grabbed the rooms' attention "Now Shelby had joined us" JJ visibly flinched at the use of her old name, which the small group of profilers all saw. It didn't matter how many times she heard that name it still brought back unwanted memories "We can begin."

"JEEZ!" JJ raised her hands "It's only been 5 minutes. And I didn't know about bloody group." JJ forced her self to stop and grabbed hold of the arms of the chair as hard as she could to push the parts of Shelby away that were slipping back.

They all spent the next 15 minutes telling the group who they were, what they did and at the reluctance of some of the profilers, how they were all feeling. The last person to talk was JJ.

"Ok Shel your turn." Sophie looked at JJ from her spot next to Peter.

"Ok." JJ took a deep breath and sighed. She really didn't want to do this but there was no way to get out of it "My mane is Jennifer Jareau. I live in Virginia an…."

"Group's about truth Shelby." Daisy spat from across the circle throwing daggered looks at JJ.

JJ took a glance round the circle, all the Cliffhangers as well as Peter and Sophie were nodding in agreement at what Daisy had said and her family were giving sympatric and worried looks. JJ sighed and shifted uncomfortably in her seat.

"My name is Shelby Merrick. I live in Virginia and I was sent to Horizon when my Biological father decided he couldn't deal with my 'problems' anymore." She turned to Daisy "Happy?"

"No not really!" Daisy stood from her seat.

"Daisy I don't think no is the right time." Peter grabbed her arm to hold her back but Daisy pulled herself free as JJ stood up too.

"No I think now is the perfect time! So Shel Why did you do it? Why did you run?" Daisy was getting closer and closer to JJ with each word.

"Back off Daisy!" JJ spat.

"No I want answers! You left us. You have no idea what you did to all of us…."

"What about what it did to me! I hated leaving here. It was my home, you were my family. There were so many times I wanted to leave JJ behind and just come back as Shelby but I couldn't. I couldn't live with the looks of pity you all gave me and I couldn't live with the guilt of knowing I was the reason Jess was here the way she was." JJ was as white as a sheet "I heated who Shelby was! She was broken, bad and dirty, she was beyond help but not Jennifer. JJ was good and whole. She came from a loving home and had a good life. She was everything I always wanted to be."

"We all wanted to be someone else back then! Every single one of us but we stuck with the crappy hand we were dealt. You are everything Peter and Sophie taught us not to be!"

Peter stepped in front of the screaming woman.

"Daisy STOP!" Peter yelled "Shelby doesn't need this right now."

"Don't Peter." JJ felt something inside her snap. She heard the words coming out of her mouth but she was unable to stop them "Don't try and protect me now! There were only two things I ever asked you to do for me." Peter looked at JJ in shock and the team were just as shocked they had never seen their friend this way "1. I asked you to save me and ok you couldn't because I wouldn't let you but I also asked you to look after Jess for me, I asked you to protect and save her because she wasn't as broken as I was. You didn't do a very good job of that did you? She's dead; she was murdered on the streets, killed by a John. She was back on the Streets Peter, why didn't you save HER!"

"You're not blaming Peter for this!" Daisy yelled.

"Enough all of you!" Scott stood from his seat "Daisy stop yelling at Shelby, there is a reason she ran" Scott turned his attention to JJ "and Shelby you can't blame Peter or Sophie for what happened to Jess. You of all people should know when out troubles couldn't be solved, they were our last chance. They saved us, all of us and your alive today because of them. We we're…what was it the outside world used to call us? Oh yeah a group of 'profoundly dysfunctional adolescents' and they were the only people that didn't give on up on us, even when we gave up on our self's."

Tears were streaming down Juliette and Garcia's faces and Emily and Sophie had a few staining her cheeks.

"If it's anyone's fault Shelby, its yours" Daisy whispered sitting back down in her seat. That was the point that JJ didn't try to hold back the tears she just let them fall.

"Don't you think I know that Daisy? If I had stayed, if I hadn't have ran, If I had just sucked it up and dealt with what was happening, it wouldn't have happened to Jess. But no I was weak I was a coward and I ran. I ran as far and a fast as I could away from my problems creating ones for Jess at the same time. If I could I would go back in a heart beat and change it all would but I can't. I would go back and live threw that hell to keep her safe. I thought leaving would help her deal with it all because every time I looked at her I re-lived it and that she felt the same when she looked at me. So I ran thinking if I left so would her problems. I know its not their fault" JJ pointed to Peter and Sophie "Its my fault. All of it, I'm the reason it happened, I'm the reason she had to come here, I'm the reason she ran back to the streets and I'm the reason she's dead. My baby sisters dead because of me" JJ put her head in her hands and sobbed. Scott went to hold her but she pushed him away and ran out of the room as fast as her shaky legs could carry her.

"Good Job Daisy, Nicely done." Scott got up of the floor and threw Daisy a dirty look before leaving.

Hotch, Rossi, Morgan, Emily, Reid and Garcia walked into their cabin half an hour later to hear the shower running and steam coming from under the door again.

"That's the third shower she's had today." Reid noted but now none of them look surprised. They all except for Garcia had their own idea about what had happened to JJ and none of them could blame her for showering so much.

They all got ready for bed and turned off the lights falling asleep to the sound of the shower running and the occasional sob coming from the shower room.
