JJ's Secret Lover

JJ's (Not So) Secret Lover - Part 33

After a restless night sleep, you hear JJ walking down the stairs, whistling to the radio. "Morning, how are you feeling?" She asks as she meets your eye-line. "Not too bad, didn't sleep much." 

She walks over to you and sits down on the coffee table in front of you, "You sure you want to go into work today?" She asks and you just simply nod. "Ok, I'll make some coffee and then we'll head off." 

You lift yourself off the couch and walk slowly up the stairs to your bedroom. One step at a time, putting most of your weight on the railing. 

"Hey, did you want me to run you a bath?" JJ screams from downstairs as you reach the top step. "Sure." You are puffed from walking up the stairs and decide to take a seat.

JJ comes walking up the stairs and notices you on the floor, "You ok?" You nod your head, "Just taking a break, give me a hand?" You reach out your hand and she lifts you from the floor. 

She takes you into the bathroom and sits you down on the toilet while she turns on the tap in the bath. 

It fills up after 5 minutes and JJ reaches to take off your shirt when you stop her. "J. I can do it. Go get ready, I'll be fine." She hesitantly walks out of the bathroom and shuts the door. You stand up and look in the mirror while taking your shirt off. 

You see the gash and cuts all over your body. JJ can't see you like this. You take off the rest of your clothes and slowly lower yourself into the bathtub.

Every cut and gash stinging as it hits the hot water. Your stomach reaches the water line and you shove your hand into your mouth so JJ doesn't hear your screaming in pain.

You are in the bathtub for no more than 10 minutes, jumping out and into some clothes. JJ knocks at the door, you quickly get your shirt on as she opens the door. 

"We have to redress your cuts." She comes in with bandages and your cup of coffee. "We'll take it slow ok?" She says while you take your first sip of coffee.

One by one, she reapplies each bandage. You can't believe she's doing all this for you. "J. I really appreciate you doing this for me." 

She looks up at you as she's finishing the last bandage. "I told you, I'm with you the whole way." 

You are ready for work, waiting for JJ to finished getting changed. "We'll take my car today!" JJ yells while pulling her shirt over her head. "Ok" You say letting out a little laugh.

You make the journey back downstairs, step by step. It's easier going down then it is going up.

You sit by the front door waiting for JJ, she comes running down the stairs with her hair all puffed up. "Uh, J, your hair." She looks in the mirror and looks horrified. 

"You have time, I can wait." You say as she tried pushing it down. She hurries back up to the bathroom and fixes her hair. You head outside to wait for her by the car, breathing in the cold crisp air. 

"Ok! Ready!" She says while opening and then locking the door behind her. She walks over to the driver's seat and you walk over to the passenger seat. Using all your strength to open the door and sit down.

The drive to the office is quiet and quick. JJ runs out her side of the car and opens the door for you. "Thanks, J" you say while slowly sliding off the chair and out of the car. 

You both walk over to the elevator, walking in as it reaches your level. JJ presses the button as you lean towards the railing. Your stomach is killing but you don't want JJ to notice so you control your breathing and lean on the railing. 

Garcia is waiting outside the doors when your elevator reached BAU level. "Oh my god, sweet cakes!" She says running towards you. 

"Hi gorgeous..woah woah. Not hug ready yet." You say pointing to your stomach while she stops in her tracks. "Gosh, that was close." She smiles and walks you through the office doors and to your desk. 

You lower yourself into your chair and pull it closer to your desk. "No sitting down, we have a case." Hotch says on his way to the briefing room. "Shit." You push yourself out from under your desk and slowly get out of your chair. Derek stands up too and waves hi. "Morning, Y/N." He says walking over to the stairs, you are following him up the stairs. Pulling yourself with the railing.

You make it to the door of the briefing room and head for your chair. You slowly lower yourself as you notice JJ holding the chair in place.

"Ok my lovelies, the case." Garcia says as she clicks the button on the remote. "We have a victim and a missing kid. Josh Samuels has been missing for 14 hours, school called the home and then sent officers. His mom was found on the kitchen floor."

You gulp with the images showing up on the screen. "The father's truck is gone and Josh's phone last pinged in the house." Your breathing picks up and your hands feel clammy. 

"No history of abuse, at least not reported. The father has 2 DUI's and the mother had a clean record." 

JJ turns to you as she asks hesitantly, "Have any teachers noticed bruises or marks on Josh? Any colleagues of the mother see anything?" Penelope slowly nods her head. "Colleagues of the mother reported seeing bruises around her arms and neck but did not officially report it." 

"Can you go back to the photo of the mother?" You ask while slightly looking away from the screen. You look at it quickly and then turn away. "Those marks, someone tried cleaning it up." Your chest feels tight and your heart is skipping beats. 

"Garcia, take it off the screen! Y/N? You ok?" JJ says to Garcia as you stand up abruptly, "I'm fine. Excuse me." You feel as though you're going to throw up. You walk to the bathroom and throw up in one of the toilets. Breathing. Trying to catch your breathe. Your heart feels as if it's on a rollercoaster. 

You finally stop and fall beside the toilet. "Y/N?" JJ's voice penetrates your ear like a firework. "You ok?" Another firework goes off. You cover your ears with your hands and contract your eyelids. 

You feel the door swing open. "Y/N!" JJ's voice getting louder and the pain makes you lose your breath.
