This fic is NOT over yet!...
The team had been called out to a case that morning and they had all been busy trying to figure it out and get home.
Garcia was sitting in the bat cave about an hour before she was due to finish; typing away on her computer trying to find any connection between the victims.
She was just getting in the swing of things again after taking a sip of coffee when her phone rang.
"Speak and be heard me pretty." Garcia beamed still taping.
"Hey pen its me…" Emily's voice sounded a little worried and Garcia stopped what she was doing immediately.
"You ok Em?"
"I'm not sure, have you spoken to JJ today?"
"Not since before you left this morning. Why is everything ok?" Now Garcia was starting to panic.
"I tried to call the house phone and her cell but I got no answer. She always picks up one or the other."
"ok hang on and stay on the line I will try and conference call her." Garcia tapped the buttons she needed to tap and the sound of a ringing phone was heard from both Garcia and Emily.
"Hi this is Agent Jareau…" Garcia cut the line.
"She always answerers her cell." Garcia sounded even more worried.
"I know, Pen I'm worried, can you…"
"No need to say another word my dark haired beauty, I'm leaving now. Tell boss man I send him the information he was after and I'll call you as soon as I get to JJ."
"Ok, Thanks pen."
"No problem sugar, hurry up and get back home to us."
Garcia hung up the phone and ran as fast as she could in the heals she was wearing to her car.
She drove to JJ's condo like a maniac. She had a bad feeling in the pit of her stomach and didn't like it one bit.
Garcia tapped on the door, not wanting to startle the blonde if she was asleep. After a few seconds she knocked a little louder and when she still go no reply the bad feeling grew a little.
"She's just gone for a walk, that's it. She's just out walking. Don't panic Penelope, try her phone again." Garcia told herself to calm down "There's nothing to worry about." Over the past few months JJ had been coming on leaps and bounds. She was doing so well and Garcia never thought she could be any prouder of JJ. Although she still had the nightmares and some of her injuries still hurt she was doing brilliantly. She wasn't cowering away from the men like she used to and she was talking to all of them, as well as a physiologist that Rossi had gotten in touch with.
She pressed speed dial 2 on her cell and waited for JJ to answer. That was when she heard JJ's cell ringing on the other side of the door and knew something was wrong.
"JJ!" Garcia wailed while banging loudly on the door "Its Pen! Open up!" Garcia still heard nothing but silence from the other side of the door and started rummaging round in her bag for JJ's door key.
"C'mon you piece of…Gotcha!"
Garcia fumbled with the lock for a second before the door flung open and she ran in dropping her bag in the floor and slamming the door closed.
"JJ where are you!"
She walked in the living room and saw no sight of JJ only her cell phone sitting on the coffee table. She walked out of there and into the next room.
"Oh My JJ!"
She had spotted JJ lying on the cold kitchen floor. Her legs pulled to her chest and her face was tear stained. JJ's eyes were closed and it looked like she was sleeping but for some reason Garcia knew otherwise.
"JJ?" Garcia dropped to her knees after spotting the vomit in the sink and gently rolled JJ onto her back.
"Jayje wake up please." She gently shook the blondes shoulder "C'mon buttercup".
She could hear Garcia voice through the thick fog in her head and she could feel a gentle hand on her shoulder. Showily some of the fog started to clear and she opened her eyes only for them to be assaulted by the kitchen light above her.
She opened her eyes again, slower this time to give her eyes a chance to adjust and faster than she thought possible everything came rushing back. Walt, her injuries and then the positive pregnancy test sitting on the bathroom counter, then she remembered Garcia knelt next to her.
"Whoa there Buttercup, where you going?" JJ pushed herself up to sitting with Garcia's help.
"I need to…" JJ tried to stand up but she didn't get half way before her wobbly legs gave way and she landed back on the floor.
"Ok, Just stay there JJ. I'm gonna get you some water." Garcia quickly went over to the fridge and grabbed a bottle of water.
"Thanks." JJ took a sip.
Garcia sat down on the floor leaning against the cupboards next to JJ.
"How you feeling?"
When JJ didn't reply Garcia looked over at her and saw a far off expression on her face and for the first time since getting into the apartment she got a good look at JJ. Her skin was paler than normal, her eyes weren't as bright as they had been and they were red and puffy from crying and if you looked at her hands close enough you could see the shake in them.
"JJ…" Garcia said a little louder which seemed to work.
"…Yeah?" JJ looked a little startled.
"Are you ok sugar?"
JJ looked a little confused for a second as if Garcia had asked a daft question "Oh yeah I'm fine." She said with no emotion in her voice.
If Garcia was worried before she most defiantly was now and she wanted to ask Emily what to do.
"What happened JJ?"
She could see the panic in the blondes eyes, something had defiantly happened and she was going to try and find out what.
"I…erm…I'm…" She was so close to telling Pen right then but It wouldn't come out "I…I went out th…this morning and I came back exhausted. Guess I passed out." She thought she covered well enough.
Garcia looked at her suspiciously for a minute but didn't push it anymore.
"Ok I'm going to get a cloth from the bathroom to clean you up a little." She got up of the floor and headed to the stairs but almost jumped out of her skin then JJ yelled.
"NO! WAIT!" She couldn't let her go in the bathroom the test was still on the sink. She got up as fast as her body would let her and walked over to Garcia "Its ok, i…I'm going to take a shower. Make your self at home." JJ gave Garcia a smile that didn't reach her eyes and didn't wait for a reply before turning and walking away.
"Call me if you need me!" Garcia yelled after her and heard some kind of mumble in return.
She went into the kitchen and cleaned the water and vomit in the sink away, as well as poring half a bottle of bleach down the plug hole.
Once she was happy that it was clean in there she pulled out her cell and sat down on the couch and dialled the number she needed.
"Prentiss."
"Hey Em it's me…" Garcia sighed.
"Penelope I heard that! What's wrong what happened?"
"What? What happened?" Morgan's voice came over the phone.
"Well…i…erm…" She wasn't sure if she should tell them or not. Garcia didn't want to worry them anymore.
"Baby girl c'mon talk to us…" Morgan said.
"When I got here she wouldn't open up so I let myself in."
"Ok." Emily said.
"And…" Morgan pushed.
"And I found her out cold on the kitchen floor and vomit in the sink."
"WHAT?" Emily yelled and Garcia pulled her ear away from the device and Emily's shriek.
"Ouch princess that was my ear!"
"Shut up Morgan. What happened is she ok?"
"She said she went out this morning and it was from exhaustion but…" Garcia bit her lip "There's something else I can see it in her eyes."
"Try and get her to talk to you Pen but don't push too hard it will only push her further away ok?" Emily sighed.
"Yeah ok." Garcia whispered. She hated the fear and worry that seemed to be constant in her life at the minute. The worry for JJ that maybe she won't be ok and the fear that the second unsubs they couldn't find would come back and hurt JJ again or worse kill her.
"Hotch is calling us we've got to go but I'll call you later."
"Ok go catch the bad guy so you can come home and help save our girl."
"We will, talk to you soon baby girl."
"Bye Pen." With that Emily hung up the phone leaving Garcia listening to the shower running from her seat.
An hour later JJ walked into the front room. She was clean and dressed, the test has been disposed of so it wouldn't be found and her hair was still damp. She gently plopped herself down on the sofa next to Garcia and they both sat in silence waiting for the other to start.
Eventually JJ couldn't take it anymore.
"Hi" she whispered earning herself a small chuckle and smile from her best friend "Pen I'm sorry…"
"You don't have to apologies sweet pea. I'm just worried about you that's all." Garcia looked at the blonde next to her and noticed the bright red marks on her arms from where she had been scrubbing her skin again. Garcia took JJ's arm in her hands and gently rubbed her fingers over the blood spots. She couldn't imagine how much it hurt or what it felt like to need to hurt your body like that and it made her feel a little sick that her best friend felt that need.
"It doesn't matter how hard I scrub I can't seem to get him off me…" JJ whispered, ashamed that she was keeping such a massive secret from one of her best friends.
"I'm so sorry we didn't get there sooner JJ, none of us thought that he was going to try anything. We…"
"Stop Pen" JJ interrupted Garcia apologies "You have nothing to be sorry for. I didn't think he was going to come back either, so don't apologise and you all got there as fast as you could." JJ rested her head on Garcia's shoulder.
They sat in dead silence only the ticking of the clock on the wall could be heard.
"How about we watch a movie, order some take out and hang out?"
"Yeah I'd like that."
And that's how they spend the rest of the evening and the few after that. JJ would spend the days alone scaring herself and thinking, trying to figure out what she was going to do. In the evenings Garcia would come round and stay with JJ and she would try and forget for just a little while and have a good time with her friend.
