Unbreak My Heart-Ch 17
Penelope looked into Dereks eyes and said, "that's JJ and Reid", he said, "maybe if we're quiet they'll think we aren't here", she slid out from under him and said,
"maybe them showing up now is telling us that", he said, "don't go there, we are meant to be together". JJ knocked again and said, "Garcieeeee we're coming in" and they heard the door open.
Derek and Penelope jumped up and threw their clothes on and headed through the house, when Penelope saw JJ she threw her arms open and said, "Jayjeeeeeee it's so good to see you". Reid smiled and said, "and what about me and your Godson"?, she squealed and said, "Henryyyyyyy", he practically jumped into her arms as Reid shook his head and said, "last again I see".
Penelope wrapped her arm around him and said, "you will never be last my little genius", he laughed as he kissed her cheek, she looked at the little family and said,
"Jayje, Reid, Henry this is Derek, Derek this is JJ, Reid and Henry". He smiled and said, "it's nice to meet you", JJ said, "it's uhhh nice to meet you to", Derek laughed and said, "I know that right now you don't think much of me but if you will please just listen I'll make you see that I would never ever do anything to hurt baby girl".
Reid looked at Derek and said, "why don't you, me and Henry go out to the beach and talk so that Garcia and Jayje can have some girl talk"?, he nodded his head and said, "sounds good". Reid kissed JJ on the lips and said, "we'll be outside", she winked at him as they watched the trio heading out the front door and down the steps toward the sand.
JJ took Penelope by the hand and said, "now spill it", Penelope pulled her legs up to her chest and said, "Jayje I don't know what to do, what to think", she put her hand on her best friends arm and said, "just take your time and tell me what happened". She blew out a deep breath and then tried to come up with a way to start to fill her best friend in on what happened.
Reid looked at Henry and said, "here you go buddy", Henry giggled as Reid handed him a bucket so he could start building a sand castle, Derek and Reid sat down on the sand and Reid looked him in the eyes and said, "so Derek tell me about yourself". Derek took a deep breath and then spent the next few minutes filling Reid in on things with him.
JJ looked at Penelope and said, "ohhhh Garcie", she wiped her eyes and said, "I care about him Jayje I really do but", JJ said, "just take a deep breath and think Garcie". Penelope took a deep breath and blew it out and said, "now what"?, JJ said, "now focus, when did the problems with Derek start"?, she sat there thinking for a few minutes and then said, "everything started when Sam showed up".
Reid listened as Derek told him everything that had happened, he could tell by the look on Dereks face that he was telling the truth and when Derek was finished Reid said, "so all of your problems started when Sam arrived"?, Derek nodded his head and said, "exactly". Reid said, "so you hadn't met Savannah before either, right"?,
he said, "correct, I was at the diner up the street getting our food and turned around and bam there she was and well you know the rest".
Reid looked at Henry and then at Derek and said, "something isn't right about this", Derek said, "what do you mean"?, Reid said, "well everything was going good with you and Garcia and then suddenly after Sam shows up everything falls apart". Derek said, "soooooo you're thinking that maybe Sam is doing all of this"?, Reid nodded his head and said, "I am".
JJ looked at Penelope and said, "I never liked Sam, he was never good enough for you and him cheating on you proves it even more", Penelope smiled and said, "I have missed you Jayjeeeeeee" as she threw her arms around her friend. Penelope said, "so what do I do, can I trust my heart with Derek"?, JJ said, "I don't know Derek very well but he seems to really care about you and he's trying to make you see that he's telling the truth".
She ran her hand over her head and said, "I don't know if my heart can handle being crushed again", JJ sighed and said, "don't worry, Spence, Henry and I are here now and we'll help you get everything straightened out". Penelope smiled and said, "sounds like a plan", JJ laughed as she stood up and said, "shall we join the boys on the beach"?, she nodded her head and said, "we shall".
Derek looked at Reid and said, "so how do Penelope and JJ know each other"?, Reid said, "JJ moved to California when she was 4 and Penelope was the girl next door and they became fast and best friends". Derek said, "Penelope is an amazing person", Reid said, "that she is, she is one of the best people I've ever known", Derek looked up and saw the girls walking toward them and smiled.
JJ looked at Reid and said, "Penelope and I have been talking and we've figured something out", Reid said, "Derek and I have been talking and I think we've figured something out to". Derek and Penelope looked at the couple as they said in unison, "SAVANNAH AND SAM ARE WORKING TOGETHER" causing Derek to look at Penelope and then at his two new best friends.
