A/N I know, I know ANOTHER one... just bear with me through my obsession and please Review! Give me an episode through season 7 episode 7 and I'll write a fic for what you want. (Cannon pairings unless Reid/JJ or Garcia/Morgan, which I will do. And keep it Teen rated!) Disclaimer: U used some dialogue from the show, I don't own CM.
"I think you're just upset that we were able to control our "micro-expressions" at the hospital," JJ said. She knew it was wrong to say, and she knew that wasn't why Reid was upset, but she needed to get him talking. But at his next words, she knew she went too far.
"Jennifer, listen, the only reason you could manage my perceptions is because I trusted you. I cam to your house for ten weeks in a row crying over losing a friend, and not once did you have the decency to tell me the truth!" Reid yelled at her. She was shocked and her eyes welled up with tears. She didn't realize Reid was even capable of this kind of anger. Especially at her.
"I couldn't," she replied defensively.
"You couldn't, or you wouldn't?" Reid accused her.
"No, I couldn't," JJ was practically pleading now, all traces of defensiveness gone as tears rolled down her face.
"What if I started taking Dilaudid again, would you have let me?" JJ was shocked, speechless. She felt horrible.
"You didn't," JJ replied, as Reid continued to barrage her.
"Yeah, but I thought about it," he said accusingly.
"Spence... I'm sorry-" but Reid cut her off.
"It's too late, okay," Reid said, storming out of the room, leaving a crying JJ standing all alone, the rest of the team staring at her. JJ walked as quickly as she could to the nearest bathroom as her tears turned into sobs. She heard someone following her but she ignored them. She stood over the sink holding on to its sides, trying to stop her tears from flowing.
"JJ?" she heard Emily ask quietly, as she walked into the bathroom.
"JJ, you okay?" Emily asked, putting a hand on JJ's shoulder. JJ turned towards her.
"He hates me Emily," JJ said, her voice sounding the most broken Emily had ever heard from her.
"I'm sure he hates me too right now, Jayge," Emily consoled her.
"He doesn't hate you. He's to happy your back to be upset with you. He knows it wasn't your fault. But he has every right to be mad at me," JJ replied quietly, fresh tears springing from her eyes. Emily pulled her in for a hug.
"He doesn't hate you, JJ, he's just upset," Emily said. JJ nodded into her shoulder.
"That doesn't make me feel any better though, and that doesn't take his pain away," JJ replied, pulling away.
"Maybe not, but it's something," Emily replied.
JJ smiled slightly. "Yeah that's something," she replied, fixing her makeup and preparing to go bavck out to the team.
"Reid," Emily said to him. They were on the jet and everyone else was asleep.
Reid looked towards her, "Yeah?" he asked.
"Look, I know you're mad at me, which is understandable, but don't take it out on JJ," Emily said, almost harshly.
"She didn't tell me-" Reid started, but Emily cut him off.
"She couldn't tell you Reid. You know that. And I know JJ went too far saying you were just mad because hey pulled one over you, but you went too far too. You made JJ cry. The girl who I can count the amount of times I've seen her cry on one hand started crying in front of the whole team today. So if you're going to be mad at someone, be mad at me, but you better not make her cry again," Emily warned him.
Reid looked away. "I didn't mean to hurt her that bad... I was just upset," Reid said, embarrassed.
"I know. And so does JJ, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't apologize," Emily told him.
Reid nodded and gave her a half smile. "Thank you," he said.
"For what?" Emily asked.
"For knocking some sense into me," Reid answered.
Emily smiled. "Any time, genius boy."
