Okay so I know a lot of this has focused on Derek but I promise we will be getting to Pens point of view very shortly. Oh the drama. So we will let Derek finish and hopefully soon we will have him back and be rid of crying and emotional Derek, although it is sweet, angry Derek I agree with you all is way hot. Once again I own natta. Although I can still dream.
The room was silent, Fran Morgan clutched the laptop from Dereks hands and forced him to look at her.
"Baby what is going on, what are you saying?"
Derek looked around the room and seen the worry in his friends faces.
" You remember New York the ambulance bomb?" they all nodded. " well Pen was pretty upset with me after that. And she wouldn't talk to me. I went to her hotel room and found her tackling the mini bar. She eventually let me in and the two of us were drinking and talking and then one thing lead to another and…."
" We get the point baby."
Derek smiled at his mother
" anyways we really didn't talk about it, I wanted to but she was ignoring me, and then a few weeks later she showed up her and told me she called things off with Kevin, I was so happy I thought it meant she wanted to get together, But in the morning I woke up and she was gone. So I went to her place to see her and she was going on about how we were best friends and how she didn't want anything serious but it seemed whenever we were together we ended up well you get the idea"
Derek looked at the shocked faces in the room
"Things went on like that for about 6 months and then she went to New York to visit her friend Elena who works at the field office there and she started to ignore my calls. And was acting real distant. I called her on it when she got back and we had a fight, I overheard her talking about this Martin guy from New York and I lost it. I told her I loved her that I always did that she is all I ever wanted."
JJ and Emily had tears in their eyes they had no idea all these months and Derek had been carrying around this pain,
" She told me it was too late, and that I didn't mean it she told me she was leaving to start a new life in New York. I swear I begged and she still left me."
Derek was in tears now, his mother cradled his head and rocked him back and forth.
"She will come back to you baby, if its meant to be it will come back to you"

Garcia had been working for Jack Malone in New York's Missing Persons dept and as much as she enjoyed the job and the people she worked for she missed home. It had been 6 months and she wasn't any closer to getting over Derek Morgan then she was when she first left. She had been on a couple dates with Martin Elenas friend and Collegue but other than a kiss on the check nothing happened. She knew Martin was interested, and he was an amazing man, he was fun and charming and smart not to mention smokin hot. But the one thing he wasn't was Derek Morgan.
" Hey Pen the team is all getting together tonite for some drinks at O'Mally's you in?"
" Yeah sure Danny I just got shut down my babies and I will meet you guys there."
Martin came up behind Danny in Pens office " No need to wait I'll give Pen a ride"
Penelope smiled at Martin, he was indeed a great guy, maybe she was just over analyzing things maybe she just needed to jump in head first and stoop thinking so much. She knew Martin liked her and wanted to be with her, and she knew Derek loved her but not in the way he thought he did. Yeah she thought it was time to let go of Derek Morgan once and for all.
" Hey handsome you ready" she leaned up and gave Martin a soft kiss on his lips, after hesitating a moment she sighed and wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him in for a deeper more passionate kiss.
When she pulled away Martin was smiling widely " what was that for?"
" I just felt like it that's all. Do I need a reason?"
Martin laughed " Never Pen never."
They linked arms and walked to the elevator to leave to meet the rest of the team. Yeah Martin was a good guy. He wasn't Morgan but nobody was, and it was time to let go to the past and look for a future.
