JJ's Secret Lover

JJ's Secret Lover - Part 11

The nurse is restitching you in JJ's hospital room, Emily knocks and says to you "Hotch is just outside, he needs a word." You turn and look at Emily in the doorway, "Tell him to come here, I'm in no shape to talk to him let alone walk."

She nods and walks over to get Hotch. "Hey, gosh, you two look awful." You both laugh but you wince with pain as the nurse finishes the last stitch.

"Will has been locked up for assault and they are asking if you want to press charges?" You look over at JJ, whatever she decides, is what you'll agree with. "Yes, charge him. He almost killed the both of us." She replies.

You get up and hobble over to Hotch, "I need a word, outside. J? I'll be back in a minute ok?" She nods and smiles.

Hotch helps you outside, "Aaron, I've done something. I threatened him in his cell, no cameras, can it come back on me?" He laughs, "Y/N you're high on painkillers and he almost killed you. He was drunk, I would have done the same."

You nod and walk back to JJ's room. "J? You ok?" She pats the bed and tells you to sit down. "Y/N, you saved me again. And, while bleeding." You shout out to Hotch, "Can I come back? If I can carry Ms Jareau here from house to car, surely I can be back on the team?" He shouts back to you, "Of course Y/N! We all thought you'd be back sooner anyway". The team and JJ laugh.

JJ reaches out her arms and you both fall asleep in her room together.

"Y/N, hey, wake up." JJ wakes you up the next morning. You both slept through the night, she's holding your hand. She notices its bruised and bloodied. "Y/N? What happened last night?"

You breathe in deeply and sigh. "I'll tell you all of it, but promise, you won't freak out ok?" She nods and you recall what happened last night.

"I heard a knock at the door, I didn't want to wake you so I grabbed my crutches and hopped over. I opened it thinking it would be Emily but Will barges in. He said he wanted to talk to you and I told him no because you were asleep and hadn't slept for days. He tried to push past me and up the stairs so I told him to wait in the kitchen and I would get you. I didn't and told him that you didn't want to see him. I thought he would just leave."

A tear starts to form on her face and you put your hand on her thigh to comfort her while you finish telling her. "He made a joke that I didn't like and told him to leave. He was firm that he wasn't leaving, so I said, 'mate, she's done with you, go home' and he got pissed. He swung at me and hit me in the lip. He yelled out to you and I told him to shut up. He pushed me against the wall and was choking me until I pushed the glass jug off the windowsill. That's the noise you heard, when he heard you coming down the stairs he let go, and well, you know the rest."

Her eyes are red and her face is filled with tears. "I'm so sorry Y/N." She says quietly and you comfort her by saying, "It's not your fault, he was drunk." You look at her and say under your breathe, "I know a drunk when I see one" She looks at you and asks, "What do you mean?" You shake your head and tell her, "Get some rest, we'll head back to the house in a few hours and get ready for work tomorrow."

You fall asleep in the chair next to her bed and she passes out just after you.

The nurse comes in and wakes you up, "She can be discharged, do you want to fill in the paperwork? And then hand it to me when you're done?" You nod and start filling in the paperwork.

---

"JJ? Wakey wakey." You shake her a little and she jolts awake. "We can head home, let's get your stuff together" You both get ready to leave and hand the nurse the paperwork.

You called Emily to come pick you up and drop you off at JJ's place. You both hop into her car and she drives you home.

"Thanks, Em." She smiles in the drivers mirror and you help JJ to the door. You both walk in and see all the blood on the floor.

Your chest feels tight and your hands get clammy. "Y/N? Are you ok? We can get someone to clean it tomorrow while we're at work." You take her up to her room and settle her in, as you go to leave she says, "Stay here, you can sleep with me. Otherwise you're sleeping on the couch."

You head back over to her and get into her bed. She falls asleep, but something is keeping you up. You can't sleep.

---

You get out of bed as soon as she's asleep and head downstairs. You see all the blood, your blood, her blood and Will's blood. You start cleaning.

You can't stop scrubbing. JJ hears you and comes downstairs. She sees you cleaning and whispers, "Y/N, they can clean it in the morning. Come to bed." You don't hear her and she begins to worry. 

"Y/N?" She tries to get your attention but you aren't listening. You just keep scrubbing.

She walks over to you and taps you on the shoulder. You still don't stop. She grabs your hands and pulls you away from the blood. Kneels down in front of you and says to you, "You're ok, Y/N? You are ok. Look at me." You look up at her, she wraps her arms around you, she doesn't know what's happening.
