Reid walked over to Derek and said, "what the hell is wrong with you"?, Derek held up his hand and said, "not now Reid", Hotch stepped up and said,
"what was all of that about, I thought that you were going to woo her, you don't woo her by asking her if she is fucking somebody else". Derek said, "I was told in the parking lot that Penelope didn't want to be with me and that she was screwing Lynch lastnight after she left the pizza place".
Emily looked at him and said, "Derek how stupid can you be, she wants you, she doesn't want Lynch, I thought we talked through all of this with you lastnight". He rubbed his hands over his head and said, "I can't believe that I said that to her, I know in my heart that she didn't sleep with Kevin".
Hotch said, "what in the hell made you do that"?, he said, "Jordan and Kevin", Emily poked him in the head and said, "how stupid are you Derek,
how could you listen to a woman that wants you and a man that wants her"?, Derek said, "I need to go talk to her and make her see that I didn't mean it".
Derek headed up the hall toward where he saw Penelope and JJ go, when he got there he heard Penelope crying through the door, he gently knocked on the door and said, "JJ I need to talk to her, can I please come in"?, JJ looked at Penelope and said, "it's up to you Garcie". Penelope shook her head and said, "I can't Jayje, I just can't".
She walked to the door and opened it just a crack and said, "she said, "that she doesn't want to talk to you Derek and I can't say I blame her,
what the hell was that shit accusing her of sleeping with Kevin". He said, "I was stupid JJ, I knew that she didn't do it with my heart but my head jumped ahead and made me stick my foot in my mouth".
JJ looked over her shoulder and saw her friend still crying, she said, "I will talk to you later Derek, but right now I am gonna take my friend home and if you care about her please don't call her, text her or try to see her until she is ready". He ran his fingers over the door and said,
"baby girl I am so so sorry, please forgive me, I I I really care about you".
He looked at JJ and said, "I am sorry JJ, please believe me", she took a deep breath and said, "it isn't me that has to believe you Derek, it's Garcie and right now she doesn't know what to think". She then closed and locked the door and headed back over to her friend as Derek walked away from the door and headed toward his truck.
Once he got inside his truck he hit is steering wheel and said, "how in the hell could you be so stupid as to hurt her, she lov, you care alot about her and you accuse her of screwing another man, nice one idiot". He started his truck and drove out of the parking lot, he headed down to the water, he loved to walk there when he had something weighing on his mind.
As he listened to the water beat against the shore it took him back to a time when he was little and his dad would take him there, it would be just the two of them and they would spend the day there laughing and talking. He sat down on the rocks and pulled his legs up to his chest and laid his head on his knees.
The longer he sat there the angrier he got, he was angry at Kevin and Tamara for lying to him and he was even angrier at himself for even standing and listening to their lying mouths. He stood up and dusted his pants off and headed towards his truck, once he got inside his truck he pulled out his cell and dialed a famaliar number and smiled as someone answered on the other end of the line.
Penelope wiped her eyes as she and her best friend walked into her house, Penelope put her stuff down on the table and walked over and sat down on the couch. JJ watched as her broken hearted friend looked up at her and said, "why JJ, why"?, she walked over and sat down beside her and said,
"honey he knows that you didn't sleep with Kevin, he is so sorry, he really is".
She said, "it hurts so much JJ, I lov, I really care alot about him and it breaks my heart that he would think that I", JJ rubbed her hands up and down Penelopes back and said, "it's ok Garcie, it's ok, I'm here, I'm here". JJ rocked her friend back and forth for several minutes before there was a knock at the door.
JJ said, "do you want me to get that"?, she sighed and nodded her head yes, JJ walked over and opened the door and said, "may I help you"?, the younger man said, "yes mam, I have a delivery for a Penelope Garcia". JJ smiled and said, "she is over there on the couch, is it ok if I sigh for it"?, the man smiled and said, "yes mam".
He held his notebook down and said, "sign here please mam", JJ sighed and held out her arms when the man said, "here you go mam and you have a nice day". JJ walked back over to Penelope and said, "it is a delivery for you", Penelope looked up and said, "a delivery for me"?, JJ nodded her head and said, "yes and I think that you are going to like it".
Penelope looked up and smiled and said, "awwwwww Jayje it is adorable", in JJs arms was a huge brown teddybear with a white sash across it that had "I'm sorry" written across it. Penelope smiled as she rubbed her fingers over the I'm sorry that was on the sash, she knew that she wasn't ready to forgive Derek but he was off to a great start.
