Jennifer Jareau was huddled in the corner of the dark room when the door finally opened, she looked up only to see someone being chucked down, she shook her head when the door closed again wondering why there was only one of her friends left. Where had the other one gone?
She didn't move, she sat there staring at the person laying on the cold concrete floor, she finally caught her eye and noticed who it was. She bit down on her lip and sighed, tears running down her cheeks as she looked the bruised and bloodied person laying there,
"I thought they had killed you." The woman whispered, tears running down her own cheeks as she got up and slowly walked over to where JJ was.
"I thought you were dead." JJ looked down at her feet, not moving at all from the corner of the room, she hadn't been able to move in so long now, she was wondering when it was all going to end.
The woman shook her head and her eyes wandered over to the dried pool of blood next to her, more tears ran down her face and she looked over at JJ, it took her a moment to realize what had happened in here while she was gone,
"Garcia." She whispered, Emily nodded and then bit down on her lip,
"I didn't know what to do, I didn't know where you were... they killed her right in front of me." JJ turned away, she hated herself so much right then, she wondered why they had done everything in their power to make sure she had lived but killed her best friend in the process.
"How?" She finally murmured,
"They did stuff to her for ages, they beat her, raped her, everything... she was in so much pain, by the end she just wanted it to end.. you could see it in her eyes." JJ didn't say or do anything, nothing seemed right anymore, they were still alive but their best friend had been killed, how was that even fair?
She thought about what they had done to Garcia, they had hurt her so much, what had given them the right? She stared at the wall in front of her, tears ran down her pale cheeks as she thought about how her best friend had died, how her best friend was here because of her... how it was all her fault.
"They shot her in the head, I remember the scream when they did it. She wanted them to but at the same time she didn't want to leave me, we both thought you were dead. She didn't want me to be on my own with these guys." She took a deep breath,
"I remember the blood, so much blood. It was everywhere, I didn't know what to do. I don't know what happened, I think I fainted because when I woke up I was in a different room and you weren't there and Garcia was gone..."
"I have been locked down here for two weeks, I thought they had killed the both of you." JJ whispered, still not turning to look at the now crying woman,
"I wish they had killed me as well." JJ shook her head and looked at Emily, the shock was evident on her face, they had broken the strongest woman she knew, and that was the moment JJ gave up hope. If Emily had given up, she knew that she had to do the same. She shook her head and let the tears fall once more down her face,
"It should have been me." She muttered, rocking herself back and forth slightly as she stared at the wall again, repeating the same sentence over and over again.
