Internship Complete

It was two weeks since Ivy and Spencer were found, her internship was now finished and she stars back in university next week. Spencer has been struggling ever since that night but Ivy hasn't really spoken to him, she's been trying to deal with everything that happened on her own and so far that hasn't been working very well.

Olivia and Caitlin spent everyday since the incident with her, she was thankful to have them around but she just wanted some space to get her head straight.
Emily, JJ and Derek have been texting her asking how's she's been feeling for the past 14 days and everyday she replies with the same message "I'm fine". Gideon has been over to check on her in person because Ivy physically can't tell Jason to piss off whereas with the others she would, Hayley's the one person who Ivy has felt like she could talk to, they've both been around each other constantly for the past two weeks and Ivy was grateful to have her, it's probably been the most time they've spent together since she came back from university and her dad has been giving her the space she needs, he's been working most days and in some ways she glad that he's been distracted.

Ivy was looking forward to getting away for awhile, she missed her dorm room and her own personal space. Aaron told her that her internship was finished a week earlier then it should have been but after everything that happened with her and Spencer she had to take time away from the BAU which meant she wouldn't be returning to the team until she graduates and applies for a full time job on the team.

Unknown phone calls and text messages continued to persecute Ivy he just couldn't leave her alone and in a way she was worried about returning to Boston but she tried her best to push that thought out of her mind until the time came to face it.

Ivy spent over a week in her bedroom contemplating all of her life decisions until Hayley decided to drag her out for breakfast.

"You've been lying around the house for far too long Ivy you're leaving in three days and I want to spend some quality time with you" Hayley spoke as she drove to the restaurant.

"I'm very sorry that me being kidnapped has put you in such a difficult position" Ivy barked.

Hayley turned to look over at the girl but remained quite for the rest of the drive until they reached the restaurant.

"Hayley I'm sorry for what I said you've done nothing but help me since it happened I didn't mean it" Ivy spoke as she gave her step mom a hug.

"You have every right to feel the way you do... what you went through was horrible and horrific, I don't expect you to be fine after that but you do have to try" she spoke gently as Ivy smiled.

They spent the rest of the morning talking about what Ivy will do when she arrives in Boston, what time her plane was departing and when she'll be back to visit. Hayley paid for the breakfast and made her way to work as Ivy decided to visit her dad in his job, he didn't have a case to be working on today but they were all doing some paperwork at the office.

"Ivy I didn't expect to see you until I came home" Hotch called from his office as she walked towards him.

"I just thought I'd pop in and say hi... I've nothing better to do and I'm really bored so this passes some time" Ivy spoke as he looked down at her.

"How are you feeling I know I haven't been around much but I'm worried about you" he asked as she shook her head.

"It's been difficult to wrap my head around what I'm feeling... I'm angry that I feel sorry for Tobias because it's not his fault he's sick, I'm sad that I haven't spoke to Spencer since it happened because I've been to afraid to see him after I nearly let him die and I'm happy that we're both still alive so I'm kinda all of the place with how I'm feeling but right now I'm feeling good and I'm just trying my best to get over it... I bet you wish you never asked me" she laughed as Hotch smiled down at her.
