Chapter 18:
[Garcia's POV]
That day, she just took a cab home. She locked her door, turned everything off, and went to bed. Just like that. She didn't wanna cry anymore, everything hurt, and she couldn't do anything without bursting into tears again. She still couldn't believe it.
It had been 4 days since it happened now. Everyone from the team had knocked on the door, she didn't want to answer. JJ shouted that if Garcia didn't make a loud noise, she would kick the door in. Garcia did what she was told and clapped twice. Garcia knew that JJ just wanted to make sure that she was okay.
Garcia knew that she had to go outside at some point. She took a bath, took some clothes on. And for the first time in several days, she looked at herself. Her eyes were red and swollen, her lips were dry, and her voice too, the circles under her eyes had never been as dark as they were now. By looking at herself in the mirror she suddenly realised just how much she hated herself for all this. But even though she realised it, she still couldn't cry, it was like no tears were left at all. She didn't comb her hair or put any makeup on. She turned her phone on, it hadn't been turned on since that day. So many phone calls, e-mails, messages and so on. *Bip, bip* It said, she looked at the newest message. It was from Hotch, it said; "Garcia, if you're reading this, you have to get down here. It's very important." She just looked at it, what could be so important, not more than Der.... She started crying. Why him? She texted Hotch back "Be there in 15." She took her shoes on, not knowing what to expect....
