It Had to be You

Aarons pov

I pulled up to Y/n's apartment and saw his car. I knew what I was doing, and did I care, No.

I knocked on the door, "Did you change your mi-, oh, Hotch was it.  I thought you were Y/n,"

"Oh I know you did," I say pushing him inside, "You think it's cool to hit women do you?"

"I don't know what you mean," he said stumbling back.

"Oh you don't, you know nothing about the bruises all over her body or the huge welp and scabs on her face, you don't know?" I say walking up to him.

"Look we both did stuff chill out, she deserved what she got," he said cowering away from me.

I grabbed his shirt and punched him straight across the face, "She didn't deserve anything like that," I say throwing him down.

Meanwhile at the office

"Where's hotch?" Prentiss asked.

"After we talked he said he'd be out for the day," y/n replies.

"Shit," she said running off.

"What's that about?" y/n asked.

"I have no clue," the others replied.

Back at the apartment

"Look, man, I'm sorry, I just love her,"

"You don't love her, if you did you wouldn't abuse her," I say kicking him in the gut.

"Stop dude," he cowered in a corner.

"Is that what she asked you to do, but you didn't," I say pulling him up and punching him again.

The door swung open, "Aaron, stop he isn't worth it," Emily yelled.

"He deserves it," I say throwing him down.

"He isn't worth it though, let's leave, please," she said

"Fine, but don't think you won this, I would do much worse to you if I had the chance," I say walking out.

"Are you fucking crazy?!" Emily yelled at me once we got in my car.

"No, I'm not. But you didn't see her this morning the way I did. I wanna kill him,"

"I know but he isn't worth it,"

"I know, could you just let me go home and clean up my hands?"

"Fine, but just stay home,"

"Okay, thank you, Em,"

"What are friends for," she says getting out of my car.

I drove back to my house. Cleaning then bandaging my hands, most of the bruises would be gone by morning but I didn't want to risk anyone seeing them today.

Y/n's pov

"Em where did you go," I ask.

"I had to make sure he was okay,"

"Why wouldn't he be okay?" I say walking over to her.

"Because seeing you hurt hurts him," she whispers to me.

"Oh,"

"Yeah, so let's finish these files then everyone can go home early."

"Okay," I say sitting back down.

Rossi handed me the keys and address to the penthouse I was going to be at, "I can't thank you enough,"

"It's the least I can do kiddo, just be safe okay,"
