In the Forest I Cry

Chapter 10 – Have To Cry

JJ lift her sore head from the cot as Hotch entered the room that had her cell.

"Hotch, he has Will, he's going to kill him," she yelled.

"I got JJ, but the UnSub has Will!" Hotch yelled into the mic on his wrist. With that said, Hotch unlocked her cell and picked up JJ's weak, bruised, violated, dirty, and broken body.

"Hotch," JJ whispered as she buried her neck into Hotch's neck.


"Mr. Whites!" Rossi yelled as he pointed his gun at the man that held a gun to his daughter's head, the very person that had called them and told them were the could find The Witness Killer, Will, and JJ. Will's unconscious body was on the floor in front of her.

"You don't want to do this man," Derek yelled as he stared at the man that had tortured JJ's dreams since childhood.

"What's to stop me Derek? I don't want to go to jail," James said in something that resembled sadness.

"Let her go, and we can talk this out," Rossi told him.

"I don't think so," he said as she shot two bullets.

"NO!" Derek yelled as he emptied his gun into James Whites' chest.

The world seems not the same,
Though I know nothing has changed.
It's all my state of mind,

As Derek and Rossi exited the house, they saw JJ look up from the gurney Hotch had set her on. As her blue eyes met Derek's brown ones, she knew Will was dead. The three men stared at her in sadness as they saw her turn her head, tears in her eyes. They watched as Emily wrapped her arms around her distraught friend. The two girls just held each other.


I can't leave it all behind.
Have to stand up to be stronger.

Emily helped the medics get JJ into the ambulance.

Have to try to break free
From the thoughts in my mind.
Use the time that I have,

Reid closed his eyes as he turned to face Garcia, Tom, and Mary.

"Who?" Garcia mouthed.

"Will and Luciana," Reid mouthed back. (A/N they're mouthing everything because no one talks while the song is going) Tears came to Tom's eyes as he heard his baby sister's name.

"Tom," Garcia said sadly as she put her hand on his shoulder.


I can't say goodbye,
Have to make it right.
Have to fight, cause I know
In the end it's worthwhile,
That the pain that I feel slowly fades away.
It will be alright.

Emily didn't smile as she entered the hospital with Mary and Garcia behind her. She spoke quickly with the receptionist before running off in the direction she pointed.

As she and the rest entered her room. They found her sleeping with Derek at her side. Her old face, the face of the old JJ, was gone, replaced with a pale one that was freshly cleaned and scarred. The tan arms she'd once had were pale and had bruises and gashes running up and down them. And though it seemed they'd washed JJ's body, her hair was still matted with blood and dirt.

Emily was the first to spot a bag in the corner of the room.

I know, should realize
Time is precious, it is worthwhile.
Despite how I feel inside,
Have to trust it'll be all right.
Have to stand up to be stronger.

She reached out for it and pulled a worn, blue leather book, out. She opened the yellowed pages.

I have to try to break free
From the thoughts in my mind.
Use the time that I have,
I can't say goodbye,
Have to make it right.
Have to fight, cause I know
In the end it's worthwhile,
That the pain that I feel slowly fades away.
It will be all right.

One Day

Hotch and Rossi stood on the doorstep of Will's mother's house. A few minutes after Hotch rang the doorbell, a young girl who couldn't be older then ten answered the door. Her smile was beautiful and it only made their job harder. Her pink lips parted slightly as she asked them who they were.

Oh, this night is too long.
Have no strength to go on.
No more pain, I'm floating away.
Through the mist see the face
Of an angel, who calls my name.
I remember you're the reason I have to stay.

One Day

Next to the small child appeared a woman. The woman was beautiful and had a slight accent. She wore an apron and a summer dress with her hair thrown up in a messy bun. Rossi could see a little girl coloring a picture on the floor. The poor child couldn't be older then two. When they told her the news, Rossi had to catch the woman as she fell into his arms with sobs. Jayla, Will's sister, sobbed behind her hands. She removed her hands from her face when the little girl came up to her and asked her what happened. Jayla didn't answer as she scooped the small child into her arms.

Have to try to break free
From the thoughts in my mind.
Use the time that I have,
I can't say goodbye,
Have to make it right.
Have to fight, cause I know
In the end it's worthwhile,
That the pain that I feel slowly fades away.
It will be alright.

I will be free

Free…

Free…

Free…

One Day

One Day

One Day

I will be safe again

Again…

Again…

Again…
