Same Side Of The Spectrum
I intended on sleeping in the next morning, but those plans are foiled when My phone rings. Groaning, I reach over to my bedside table to grab my phone. I answer it, sitting up in the process as well.
''Hello?''
''Garcia, it's JJ. We are leaving in a few, wanna come by real quick and say goodbye? Morgan really wants to see you.''
''JJ, not that I don't want to say goodbye, but yesterday I quit my job and Collins kinda told me to never come back. Besides I saw Morgan last night when he drove me home. Can you tell him I love him though?'' I hear silence on the other end, which worries me.
''Umm.. yeah sure. I guess this is goodbye then huh?''
''It is, I'm going to miss you JJ.''
''You too, Gotta go bye.'' JJ hangs up rather abruptly. After I put my phone down, I feel something in the pit of my stomach, but I don't know what it is. Guilt, Sadness? Now I'm sorta wishing I would've went down there now. If I leave now, they'd probably already be on the plane and heading back to Virginia. I know JJ said there's long distance relationships, but let's face it. They rarely work out, and when they do those two never see each other.
Getting out of bed, I prepare for a day where I have to start looking for a job.
-5 days later-
It's been almost a week since the BAU has returned to D.C and I quit my job. I've had no luck so far finding a job, even though I've had god knows how many interviews. They all have either sucked, or they were for jobs that aren't really under what I studied in college.
Just as I step in the door, just getting back from another interview when my home phone rings. putting down my purse, I grab the phone and answer it.
''Garcia.''
''Hey Penelope, it's Morgan.'' He says awkwardly. Morgan actually called me? He hasn't called me since before he left.
''Hey Morgan, what's going on?''
''Nothing much, I've meant to call you and say something. Why, did you... when I was leaving, why didn't you come and say goodbye? You didn't even call me after the fact. And I'm not going to lie, it hurt that you told JJ to tell me that you loved me, like you couldn't tell me that yourself. Why?'' Crap, he just set the guilt back in my stomach. He's right, I know if he did what I did to him, I'd be hurting. Hell, I'd be flying back to him and kicking his ass myself. Thinking back on that, I'm wondering why I even did that.
''Morgan, I did it, well to be honest I did it because I was scared.''
''Yeah, I get it. I was scared too but Pen, you would've at least fucking called. Something is better than nothing in this situation. I just can't believe that I meant so much to you, that you couldn't even tell me that you loved me!'' He begins to raise his voice slightly.
''Morgan you know that-''
''I don't know anymore. Here, JJ wants to talk to you. Thanks for the time we spent together.'' I take it he hands the phone off to her because there's silence on the other end. I think she get's the phone when I start hearing movement on JJ's end.
''Hey Garcia, You know Morgan's been really upset the past couple of days. It's been ever since I told him that you love him.''
''I know JJ, and I know I've screwed up majorly. Damn it, I wish I could fix everything, wait may e I can.'' I say, getting an Idea in my head.
''What do you mean, 'maybe you can'. What are you talking about?'' JJ asks.
''You'lk find out soon. Call you in a few days.'' I hang up, then jump up from where I was sitting, excited to start on my plan that might and hopefully it fixies everything.
-A week later-
Wanna know what my plan was? Well, I decided rather suddenly to Move down to D.C, and get a job. I figured, if they won't stay, maybe I can follow them. Besides, it's not like I have a job keeping me here anymore.
As we speak, I'm actually inside the lobby of the BAU so I can see them. After I go through security and get a visitor pass, I than head into the elevator, pressing the button for the sixth floor. After the elevator takes me to the sixth floor, I quietly head to JJ's office. Luckily, I didn't run into Morgan, Hotch, or Reid.
I'm outside JJ's office, and I notice she's reading over some file with intense concentration. I knock on the door, which causes JJ to look up from the file and at me. Once she realises it's me, she stands up from her desk and walks over to me.
''Penelope, what are you doing here?'' JJ asks, giving me a hug.
''Well, I actually moved down here to Quantico and got a job.'' JJ widens her eyes at me.
''What? What made you do that?'' JJ asks me.
''Well, the last time I called you And Morgan had talked to me, and said some things that made realise that sometimes, you have to sacrifice somethings, if you want to be happy. I really felt guilty about what I did to him, And I just could stand the last sentence he said to me, that he didn't know about us or me anymore, which hurt. So, I was hoping that moving down here would fix those issues between us.''
''Garcia, I think he already knows all that.'' She says as she signals to me that he's behind me. I turn on my heels to see him standing behind me with a slight smile on his face.
''I'll give you two some privacy.'' JJ walks out of her office and down the hall. I turn towards Morgan, who's still smiling.
''You did all of this, for me?'' He asks.
''Of course, why wouldn't I? Did you seriously think I would forget about you and move on?'' He laughs lightly.
''I knew you wouldn't. You know I love you right?'' He asks, kissing my temple lightly.
''Of course you do.''
''That's my girl.'' His lips move from my temple, to my lips and there stay there.
True Love is a fire that will never go out.
