Once Upon A Straight Tequila Night

Ch 10- Heart Broken

Penelope's POV

I lay on the bed and cry, Markus puts my hand in his and says, "it's ok P", I look at him and say, "Derek and I have been friends for a while now, how can he not let me explain who you are"?, Markus grinned and said, "Derek is jealous P". I laugh and say, "Derek Morgan jealous, why Markus, why"?, he smiled at me and said, "that's simple, he is in love with you."

I look at him and say, "Derek Morgan, the chocolate god is in love with me, don't make me laugh Markus", he reached up and wiped away the tears and said, "he does love you P and the only question is how do you feel about him"?, I lay my head back on the pillow and say, "I have strong feelings, very strong feelings about him but it is obvious that he doesn't care about me or he would have let me explain instead of jumping to conclusions."

Marcus looks at me and says, "P how do you feel when you are around him"?, she smiled and said, "my heart beat gets really fast, my hands get sweaty and I can't think about anything but him". Markus laughed at me and said, "little sister you are in love with your best friend", I start crying again and say, "I just can't take another chance with my heart Markus, last night I thought that he truly cared for me but now I'm doubting everything" Markus got on the side of my bed and wrapped his arms around me and gently rocked me back and forth and said, "it's ok P, it's ok" and as I leaned against him and cried my heart broke more and more with every tear that fell.

I laid down and looked at my brother and said, "thanks so much for coming Markus", he smiled at me and said, "I will be staying with you to take care of you until you are better" I look at my brother and yawn and say, "I am so tired Markus", he kisses my forehead and says, "sleep P, you need your rest right now and when you wake up we can talk some more" I smile at him and nod my head and agree that a nap might do me good, he moves to the chair beside my bed and the last thing I see is a huge smile on his face and then the pain meds kick in again and I fall asleep.

Derek's POV

Here I am sitting on the plane on our way to New Mexico when I look up to a glare from JJ and Emily, I put my headphones on and turn my music on and close my eyes and try to push everything that had happened over the past several hours out of my head, I open my eyes when I feel a hand on my shoulder, I look up see a very angry David Rossi standing in front of me, I take my earphones off and motion for him to sit down, that was another mistake that I could add for my already sucky day.

Dave looks at me and says, "what in the hell have you done to my kitten?", I open my mouth to try to defend myself and he says, "I like you Morgan but this time you are gonna sit there and listen to me" I sat there watching as he got comfortable in the seat across from me, it had been a very very long time since I have seen Dave that mad and unfortunately I am the one he is mad at, Rossi takes a deep breath and says, "I know that you love Penelope", I opened my mouth to agree and he said, "shut up, I don't want to hear you until I have finished with what I have to say, ok"?, I nodded my head yes. Dave said, "Penelope is an amazing woman, she is so sweet, loving, kind and up until what happened with this sick bastard she trusted you with her whole heart and now you have ripped it out of her chest."

As I sat there and listened to Dave talk I realized that I was a complete and total ass, I love Penelope with my entire heart and then I act like a jerk and don't even let her explain, I can see Daves lips moving but nothing he is saying is registering anymore, all I can think about is trying to make everything up to her, I just hope that I get the chance in the near future.

Dave finishes and says, "now do I make myself clear, either you make up with my kitten or they will never find your body", I half-heartedly smile and say, "I hear you Dave and I promise you that I am going to do everything I can to make this up to Penelope, that is if she will give me the chance" he pats me on the shoulder and says, "give her time Morgan, right now she is heart broken, but hopefully soon she will start to trust you again, but I have to warn you at first she will be very very gun shy around you and she will probably push you away."

Soon the plane began it's decent into Albuquerque Airport once we landed, I watched as Dave got up and headed back over to re-join the rest of the team, I just sit there and think about what I did and how much it cost me, the way I acted might have costed me the most important person in the world, my baby girl I sigh as I stand up and grab my stuff and head off the plane with the rest of the team, I can only hope that this case will be over soon, so I can talk with my goddess, As I step off the plane all I can see is the hurt look on Penelopes face when I walk out the door, I hope that one day soon she will forgive me and give me, give us another chance.
