Bobbie kept playing with her food, not knowing what to say. She didn't even know if she wanted to say anything at all. All she could think about was all the trouble she had gotten herself into once again
"Is the burger good?" Morgan asked, he could sense Bobbie's anxiety and wanted to distract her from her problems, but at the same time, he knew that he wasn't doing the kid any favors by allowing her to ignore what had just happened
"Yeah thanks" she said quietly and looked up "Ummm Agent Morgan, are you going to tell Emily that I tried to run away?" she asked nervously
"You can call me Derek" he said "and I am afraid that Doctor Tyson already told Emily that you ran out of the room." He finished the sentence, but decided to continue when Bobbie kept looking at him expectantly "But no, I won't tell her that you tried to leave the BAU- if you promise me, that you will never do that again."
"I won't" she said quickly "I am sorry."
"It's fine "Morgan said and gave her a reassuring smile "I did that a lot too"
"You were in therapy here?" Bobbie asked curiously and remembered her conversation with Garcia
"Yeah I was" he said slowly, he wasn't quite sure how much he should tell her
"I was about your age, maybe a few years older, when someone I trusted took advantage of me." He said, eyeing her closely "I never told anybody, all my childhood long"
"Who ummm-"Bobbie started, but she couldn't finish the sentence. She found it extremely hard to talk about this, even though they were not even talking about her story
"It was my football coach" he said "My dad died when I was really young, so I never really had a father while growing up." He explained, but Bobbie was still avoiding any eye contact and he knew that he would have to tell her more, if he wanted her to disclose to him
"I always thought that it was only fair, you know" he started "he was the closest thing I had to a dad, so I thought I had to let him do whatever he wanted. But that was wrong Bobbie."
"He said that nobody would believe me anyway" Bobbie said and stared at her plate "That nobody would care, because I am a foster kid and that… that he was the only one who was helping me." She finished
"It wasn't your fault, you know that right? That man had no right to do that."
"I know" she said "but I never said anything, I just let him keep doing it and then I just ran away, like a little baby"
"You are a kid Bobbie" he said and smirked when he saw her giving him a slightly annoyed look, when he called her 'kid' "It was good that you ran away, otherwise you wouldn't be here now, right?" He asked and was happy to see Bobbie nod
They didn't talk for a few minutes, both lost in their own thoughts, when Bobbie started talking again
"I never knew how to tell someone" she whispered "I thought about going to the police a lot, but I didn't know how I should say all that stuff"
"I know" he said and put his fork down before continuing "I didn't know it either. It's okay to be ashamed Bobbie, but you can't let him win."
"You need help. Trust me, it will only make things worse, if you keep pushing everyone away. Emily just wants to help you." He said ,when Bobbie didn't respond
"Do I have to go back?" Bobbie asked, dreading the answer
Morgan knew that she was referring to therapy "Probably yeah, but not today, okay?" he asked and got another nod in return
5 minutes later they were back in Garcia's office, where Emily was already waiting for them and to Bobbie's disappointment, Doctor Tyson was with her.
"Sweetie, what happened?" Emily asked confused "Why did you run"
"Nothing I… I just wanted a little break and I was on my way to the cafeteria and then I met Derek" she lied and looked up to the tall man, but he didn't say anything
"Do you want to finish the session?" Tyson asked and looked down at Bobbie, but Bobbie just shook her head and faced Emily
"Can we go home, please?" she asked
"Yes, of course we can, but we are not done talking about this." She said and gave her a sad smile
Hi guys, I am so sorry that it took me so long to update, I have been really busy lately, but I have had a lot of time to write during the last couple of days.
!I also started a new story, it's also about child abuse, but it's a private practice fanfiction. I just uploaded the first chapter and it would be amazing, if some of you would read it and tell me what you think. Thank you:)!
Also thank you all for all the nice reviews I have gotten so far, they really make my day every time
