This drabble belongs to Garcia.

Reasons - New Found Glory
If my heart is made out of gold
Then why does it feel like I'm here all alone
You take me for granted
You take me for reasons known only by you
Found In The Heart
When I was in high school everyone only wanted to be my friend when it was convenient. They needed help with homework or needed a ride to the homecoming dance. They only came around when they needed something from me, and that was okay. I got it. I was too… different for them to understand me. I always knew they were taking advantage of me. If you're too nice people will walk all over you. And they do.
After my parents' death I went underground and shut myself off from everyone. I was more alone than I'd ever been. Even in cyberspace. It's a bizarre feeling to be in a room with 100 people and yet still feel like the only person in the room. I wanted that human connection. I longed for those kids from high school who always took advantage of me. At least then I felt like I meant something to someone. Even if that moment was fleeting. I needed a human connection, but had no idea how to allow myself to have it anymore.
And then something terrible and wonderful happened. I got caught. I – Ms. Cyber Hacker Extraordinaire – got caught by the FBI. But as luck would have it, instead of sending me to jail, they gave me a job. And I found that human connection my heart had been searching for. From the first time Derek called me "Baby Girl", I knew this was where my heart belonged. Right here with them. And through the years, some names have come and gone, they're all still with me. Derek Morgan, Jennifer Jareau, Spencer Reid, Emily Prentiss, David Rossi, Aaron Hotchner, Jason Gideon, Elle Greenaway, and Ashley Seaver. My family.
