Despite what I said yesterday, I have been able to add a new chapter (and quite early in the day). I want to thank you guys for all of the support you're giving me! I would also like more feedback of where you want this to go, or what you dont like... things like that :)

So as usual, I hope you enjoy!

I do not own Criminal minds (

Emily sat on the couch, tears pouring out of her eyes.

"I think I'm going to be sick." She jumped up and ran to the bathroom in the hotel lobby. She didn't stop until she was in the bathroom stall. Unable to control herself, she wretched violently into the toilet. JJ arrived moments after her. She saw her strong friend leaning over the toilet and went over to hold her hair.

"It's going to be okay." JJ mumbled rubbing small circles on her back. "It's all going to be okay."

Emily lifted her head from the toilet and wiped her mouth with the back of her hand.

"Are you okay?" JJ asked gently, letting go of her hair.

"I think so." Emily replied uneasily.

"What happened?" JJ asked again.

"He called." Emily spit out. The second she spoke of him her stomach turned again. She leaned over the toilet again and vomited. She hated herself for doing this, but she couldn't help it. She wiped her mouth again and leaned back.

"Oh Em…" JJ said, "What did he say?"

Shaking her head was the only response she gave. JJ quickly stood up, "I will be right back."

She walked over to the other side of the bathroom and took out her and Emily's cell phone. Emily could hear her talking into her cell phone.

"Garcia? I need you to trace the number 555-742-4827. It's John Bates." She then hung up and came back over.

"Em, can you stand up?" With JJ's help her and Emily walked back to the elevator and rode up to their room. JJ guided her towards her bed. The curtains were open and sunlight filled the room, yet it had never felt so dark. They both sat down on Emily's bed.

"What did he say?" JJ asked for the third time.

Emily ignored the question. She tucked her knees up to her chest, her body still trembling. Gently, she set her head down on her knees and closed her eyes. Doing that brought back memories. Memories she would do anything to forget. Memories that she had not been able to compartmentalize despite all of her effort.

He threw her onto the ground and straddled her waist.

"Nobody refuses me." He whispered into her ear. He raised his hand high above his head and brought it down violently across her face.

"Get away from me." She hissed back, hiding the pain she was in.

He picked his knee up and jammed it against her gut.

She grunted in pain, and he just laughed. His smile disgusted her. He was enjoying her pain; he enjoyed every flinch and every tear. She refused to give that to him.

"I'm going to enjoy this." He promised her.

JJ watched her friend with sadness filling her heart. Her friend was so strong; it was heart breaking to see her broken like this. JJ wrapped her arm around her shaking body and held her close. I am going to find you John Bates, she promised. Emily was shaking like uncontrollable movements were forcing their way through her body.

"Get away," She heard Emily mumble. Her body jerked violently.

"Emily?" JJ questioned.

"Stop…" Emily said her voice soft and sad.

"Emily?"JJ shook her shoulder gently.

Emily quickly picked up her head and looked around bewildered. A look of relief crossed her face as she realized where she was.

"You're okay Em." JJ softly spoke, gently rubbing circles on her back. Emily wiped the tears from her eyes, trying to appear strong, although she knew it wasn't something she needed to do in front of JJ.

"Thank you." Emily genuinely meant.

JJ's phone rang, it was Morgan. Emily looked at the phone and slowly got up. "I'm going to go shower." She told JJ.

"Are you sure you're okay?"

"I'm fine." She was already half way in the bathroom and closed the door.

JJ picked up her phone and Morgan nearly shouted on the other line, "Tell me it's not true! Tell me that bastard did not call her!"

"He did." She answered sadly. "How did you know?" she added.

"God! Garcia called me. What did he say?" Morgan sounded furious.

"She won't tell me." JJ shook her head, "She is pretty shaken up though."

"I should come back."

"No, you shouldn't." JJ answered. "You need to work on the case; we are down two people as it is. When you get back you can talk to her. You need to focus on the case."

"I feel so helpless… why won't she tell us what is going on?"

"I don't know. I'll try to talk to her more." JJ assured him.

"Okay Jayje. You help her."

"I will." JJ said hanging up the phone.

Emily stepped into the hot shower, water pellets pounding her face. She stood there facing the faucet. The hotness stung her cut and the pounding of it hit against her bruise bringing back the realities. The memories.

She was trapped underneath him as he kneed her gut. When he wasn't looking she squirmed out from under him.

"No you don't." He growled grabbing her leg and pulling her back. The fight she gave just caused his grip to get tighter. He grabbed her arms with his strong hands and held them in place as she tried to squirm. He held her shoulders and planted a kiss on her lips. He held them there, despite her effort to squirm away. She managed to push him off which made him angrier. His fiery eyes stared back at her and he smacked her face. Then he grabbed her jaw and forced his lips upon hers once again. She was repulsed and disgusted, but there was nothing she could do to stop him.

I hope you enjoyed the chapter, I know it was shorter, but I did update today! Be sure to let me know what you think and what you want. Thanks for reading!
