"And loving you was easy, it was you leaving that scarred"

*          *          *

   Bella leaned against her desk, drinking an iced tea, as Charlotte sulked in front of her. She held a coffee cup in one hand and a donut in the other hand. 

   "Am I a bad person?" Charlotte asked. 

   "No!" Bella exclaimed.

   "I broke up with my girlfriend, Bella."

   "You broke up with her because that's what was best for both of you. She lives in Maryland and you live in D.C., the long distance wasn't working. That doesn't make you a bad person!"

   "I feel like a terrible person."

   "You'll meet someone else, Charlotte," Bella said with a nod. "I promise." 

   Charlotte sighed and continued to sulk before biting into her donut. Bella grinned, leaning over and squeezing her shoulder. 

   "D.C. is a big city, there are a lot of people you haven't met yet," Bella said, setting her iced tea down.

   "Maybe I should just date Hotch, I mean everyone already thinks I am anyway," Charlotte mumbled. 

   Bella cleared her throat, widening her eyes as she looked at Charlotte. Charlotte looked up, furrowing her eyebrows in confusion.

   "People think that?" Hotch asked from behind Charlotte.

   "Oh my god," Charlotte breathed before turning around. "What are you doing?"

   "I'm walking to my office."

   "That sounds fun."

   The two agents stared at each other before Hotch looked around awkwardly, turning on his heel and continuing his way over to his office. Charlotte turned back around slowly, her face pale as Bella bit down on her bottom lip to muffle a laugh.

   "That's it, I'm never stepping foot in here again," Charlotte breathed.

   "That entire interaction just took years off my life," Bella laughed. "If it makes you feel any better, I once showed up here drunk and accidentally hit him with a granola bar."

   "How do you accidentally hit someone with a granola bar?"

   "I threw it and meant to hit Penelope!"

   Charlotte gasped, "Why would you ever want to hurt her?"

   "She was drunk as well and told Spencer that I was pregnant, WHICH WAS A COMPLETE LIE!"

   "Ahhh," Charlotte said, raising her eyebrows. "People really have a thing for saying that you're pregnant when you're not." 

   Bella rolled her eyes as Charlotte started to laugh. She looked over to see Spencer and Derek approaching them, cups of hot coffee in their hands. JJ followed behind them, holding a steaming mug of tea.
