It has been FOREVER since I updated! Sorry!!!! Things have gotten a little crazy for me and this story is very personal which makes it difficult to write at times. I literally just finished this chapter and I'm sorry it's so short! Please tell me what you think! It's been so long that I feel like I'm starting all over again. I may change some of this later depending on what you think, I really don't know. Also I'd like to know if you want me to continue with this story or end it here? Please let me know!

Thanks to everyone who has reviewed previous chapters!!! :]

From Darkness to Light

A CM fanfic

Chapter 16

Jennifer Jareau watched as drops of rain seemed to race each other down the window of the SUV that was taking her and the rest of the team to the airport. They were on their way back home and that morning at breakfast Hotch had announced to the team that Kaylee would be ok. It would take some time and she would have to stay in the hospital for a while, but she'd make it.

J.J. and Reid had talked for quite some time the night before and she did feel a little better just knowing that someone knew, cared, and wanted to help. She realized that morning how stupid cutting last night really was and she knew she wanted to stop, but she also knew that it would be hard. Very hard. She'd made up her mind and was determined to see how long she could go without it.

They arrived at the airport and boarded the plane as light rain continued to fall. Reid gave J.J. a small smile as he sat down next to her away from the rest of the team who were all talking and laughing amongst themselves.

"You okay?" He asked.

"Yeah." She replied. "I'm doing pretty good so far."

The plane took off and throughout the flight they continued to talk about anything and everything. Reid wanted to distract her from cases and work. She'd been distant from them for so long it was strange at first, but as soon as he saw the real smile that she'd been faking for months he knew she'd be ok in time.
