I don't own anything!
***During the Case***
It didn't take a profiler to notice that something was going on with JJ. Hotch was being overprotective of her and he was the only one who worked with her in the field. The team didn't say anything yet but they thought they just might have to wait for JJ to tell them.
Hotch sighed when he noticed JJ flinch as the crime scene photos. The team had split up and Hotch and JJ went to talk to the police and look through the case. "JJ are you okay?" he asked softly. When JJ nodded, he added "You know you can tell me anything right JJ? I won't tell a soul no matter how much I do"
JJ sighed and looked at her boss and now best friend. "Hotch. They all have a history of being abused. Some by their fathers others it was their husbands." She bit her lip and looked down. "Then they had to go through this hell." She blinked away some tears. Hotch came and sat on the table by her.
"Jen, is it too soon? Seeing these woman being tortured. It has to be hard on you. I know it is. But is it too soon. Do you want to go back to Quantico and help Garcia?" He asked, worried about her.
"No!" She said suddenly. She sighed. With a softer voice she looked at him "No I don't Hotch. I want to be here. I want to do this."
Hotch nodded "Okay but can you answer something for me?" He saw JJ nodded "It wasn't the first time Will hit you was it?"
Just as JJ was about to deny it Garcia called. "Sir I found him" She gave them an address. JJ called the rest of the team while they ran to the car.
***On the Plane Ride Home***
JJ decided that she was going to the whole team about her and Will because they wouldn't stop giving her looks of pity. She sighed and felt Hotch squeeze her hand before she stood up "Guys, I need to tell you all something but I need you to stop looking at me with pity in your eyes. I am fine." She took a deep breath. "Will and I are getting a divorce. We have had problems since Hotch and Emily saved me. He wanted me to just return back into my normal self but I couldn't do it. Pretty soon he thought I was cheating on him and we just decided that it is best to get a divorce. I am fine guys I promise. Hotch has been helping me with a lot of the legal stuff.
The entire team started asking questions at once. JJ started to feel overwhelmed and Aaron could see it "Guys," He said standing up "lets let JJ get some coffee and relax she has had a hard day. If you have questions take them to me and if I think you need to know I will answer them.
JJ gave him a small smile before walking off to get a cup of coffee. He followed her and pulled her into a hug "It is going to be okay" He whispered into her hair. She just nodded.
JJ pulled away a few moments later. "Thanks Hotch. I am gonna go sit down"
"I'll come with" They went and sat on a couch. Eventually, JJ fell asleep with her head in Aaron's lap. He sighed and smiled down at his friend. Rossi Came and sat on the chair across from him.
"How is she?" He asked
Hotch sighed "I know she hasn't been sleeping. Henry told Jack that today." He looked down at her. "That is how I found her. I went to Haley's to get Jack and they told me about seeing Henry at the park. It was the day she called in saying he was sick. Jack said, Henry told him that JJ and Will were at work so I thought it would be a good idea to check on her. She was so sad and brokenhearted when I saw her at her house. She ripped every picture of her and Will up. I remembered when Haley left me, I saw it coming but the pain is unbearable. JJ had more pain in her eyes then I remember having."
Hotch looked up to see the older man nodding at him. "I swear if I see that son of a bitch. I will teach him a lesson"
This time it was Hotch's turn to nod. "If you see him tell me before so I can help." He sighed "At least she is sleeping now"
**Okay so private message me or review and tell me what you liked or even better tell me what you didn't like. Is there a certain way you want another member of the team to react? Should JJ have been abused in the past?**
