Hunted

Its Never Easy

JJ sat on the couch of her new apartment, a coffee was in her hands and she was in her pyjamas, her ELMO ones.

Her phone lay lifeless beside her, and she knew that because every minute she would turn her head in hope to see her phone flashing, but it remained lifeless, like it had been for the past three months.

He had promised he would call, when he left for the rehab centre in Florida, he had told no promised her he would call, but she hadn't heard a peep from her at all, and it killed her.

Then she felt a light buzz, and she immediately turned her whole body to the phone, "why" she growled when she saw it was Hotch telling her they had a case, it was a Friday night, and ten at night but of course she had a case.

"Hey guys" JJ grumbled, as she walked into the conference room, she hadn't bothered to change out of night wear, all she added was a pair of wooly uggies and her black coat.

Everyone responded with a grumble, indicating they heard her and when she looked up, it felt like her eyes would pop out of there sockets.

He was sitting there, his back was facing her but that hair, and that figure it was him, her body flared with a type of anger as she stared at him, well the back of him.

She had been expecting a call, a text something but he said nothing and now he sat in front of her like he didn't even notice her.

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

Spencer Reid stared at the board, he was trying to pay attention to what was going on but it was extremely difficult when the hairs on his neck was standing, he didn't need to look back he knew exactly who it was.

He felt bad, he had promised to call her but he could still remember that dream he had at the centre, and it reminded him about how he didn't deserve her and she didn't deserve him she deserved so much better, and so he had broken the promise and she was reacting worse than he had hoped but he did it protect her.

He wasn't going to hurt her, no she didn't deserve him, besides she had Will and Henry why would she need him, let alone want him.

The plane ride was silent, mainly because everyone asleep even Garcia had fallen and she was clearly asleep as her slumped body appeared on Rossi's laptop.

The only people awake was JJ and Reid but he refused to look at her, while she just stared at him she had tried to get the seat next to
Him but Morgan had snagged it up and she knew he knew she was staring, but he was clearly avoiding her and it wasn't hard for the team to pick up on.

"Alright guys get sleep" Hotch announced to his team as they all stood huddled in a little circle as Hotch handed them there room keys.

A cool breeze filled the air making everyone shiver, and JJ couldn't help but wince she saw how his wounds were still healing.

After grabbing her key, JJ sighed as she walked in her direction and when she saw Reid just meters away she jogged to catch up with him.

"Spence" she said as she walked beside him and he turned to face her "You need to stop, JJ I can't do this you deserve better, you don't deserve me."

"What are you talking about Spence?"

"I can't be near you anymore, I will only bring you more pain."

And then he walked off while JJ just stood there in the middle of the parking lot surprised at his sudden out burst.

She kicked the ground and growled, why did she think they could have a future, Spencer clearly thought different.
