6. Not gonna happen Sunshine

Aaron

On the plane back from Nevada I was sitting doing paperwork at the far end of the plane. Thinking that everyone else was asleep. Then I heard two voices talking quietly from the other side of the plane.

"You never actually told us what happened down in California." I heard Prentiss quiet voice.

"I now it was just so surreal." The other voice. Amelia.

"Do you want to talk about it?"

"I guess it's just. I don't even know where to begin." I heard the frustration in Amelia's voice.

"Just start where it makes sense to you."

Wow Emily should have been a therapist. I thought.

"Well I guess that would be when my mother died." I heard her sigh. "When I was thirteen my mom passed, and my dad had a new family. He left a couple years before, but that didn't really matter anyway, because when he was there he wasn't really there. So, I moved in with Erin my dads sister and her family. They were really nice to take me in. But you know that but by now."

"Yeah" Prentiss sighed sympathetically.

"Anyway so a couple years later when I was in the academy. Andrew, my dad. He called and asked if I wanted to come down for thanksgiving. He said he was sorry for all the years that had gone by and that Jenna. My sister wanted to meet me. Enough time had passed, so I wasn't really mad at him anymore just disappointed. But I said yes and asked if I could bring my boyfriend I had at the time."

It felt bad eavesdropping on them, but I couldn't help it.

"My boyfriend and I went over thanksgiving weekend to visit them. It was surprisingly nice seeing them and I really liked Jenna you know she was the sister I never had. She was, I think she was fifteen back then. But we got along pretty great. So any chance I had, I made my way down to see them. Mostly for Jenna's sake." Amelia said in a low and almost sad tone.

"That seems nice, so what happened?"

"Well what happened is, my boyfriend from the time was actually a scumbag as it turned out. It turned out he started seeing Jenna shortly after thanksgiving. Of course he didn't admit to it because she was underage, but we all knew. And of course I broke up with him as soon as I found out. The summer after that, he ended thing with Jenna because she was beginning to want more than just a fling. But Jenna took it very badly. So she tried to kill herself." Amelia's voice wavered like she was trying to not cry.

"Holy shit. I'm so sorry" Emily empathized.

"That got her admitted to the mental hospital, I visited her a few times but the only thing she kept saying was 'You took him from me, you need to set us free'." She paused. And I thought I heard a small sob. "Emily I should have known"

"Amelia. There is no way you could have known."

"Yes there was. I should have known that they had to release her on her eighteenth birthday. And that something was going to happen. I can't help but feel guilty because. If I never had accepted that first dinner invitation. She would've never meet Sean."

"Sean like the other unsub Sean?" I heard the shock in Emily's voice and I couldn't help but feel the same.

"Yeah." Amelia sniffled quietly.

"So what happened in the bank?"

"I actually had no idea Sean was there. I just wanted to help my sister not get shot to death. So, when I ran into the bank. I was shocked at first. Both Jenna's and Sean's attention turned to me pointing their guns at me. I had no idea what to do at first but quickly thought of a plan."
