PS I will update my other fic in a few days don't worry I just had some major writers block.
JJ POV
I couldn't help but sigh mentally as I sat in the women's clinic on 1st and Columbia.
My period had been late but I kept on telling myself it was just stress. Garcia had convinced me to go. I had left Will two weeks ago today and I did not want to be pregnant with his child. I already had the tests done and they were giving me the results today.
Across from where I was sitting I noticed a pale teenage girl. She sat with her sickly thin arms wrapped around her small frame and her raven hair draped across her face. She looked petrified. My heart broke at the sight of her.
I looked around the waiting room; there was no one else there. No one to comfort that poor scared girl. Something about her pulled me closer; made me want to know more.
I cleared my throat "Hi, I was wondering if you could pass me that magazine over there?" I didn't want to seem nosey but I had to know why she was there by herself.
She looked up and I had to physically stop myself from gasping. Her eyes had dark bags under them, her skin was grey and her lips were cracked. But what really got me were her eyes. They were simply hollow, lifeless. Like the eyes of the corpses I was forced to look at everyday.
"Sure." Her voice cracked. As she passed me the magazine our fingers brushed. Her hands were ice cold.
"My name's JJ." I offered.
"Emily."
Our conversation was interrupted my a nurse who entered the room. "Jennifer?" I stood up wishing that I could stay longer and talk to Emily. I gave her a small smile that she didn't return.
"Good news, Jennifer, the tests came back negative." The doctor said after I sat down in his office, I let out my breath in relief. Thank God. There was no way I would bring my self to get an abortion.
We made small talk for a while before I excused myself claiming I was late for a dinner date.
I looked into the waiting room hopefully but she was no where to be seen. The door squeaked and the gravel crunched beneath my feet as I stepped outside.
That's when I heard it, small whimpering noises from the back of the building. I didn't hesitate to go see what it was. There she was sitting in an ally crying softly. I slid down beside her.
"Hey." I said warmly.
Without a second thought she wrapped her arms around me hugging me tightly. I don't know how long we stayed like that but it must have been a while for the sky had changed colour.
She looked up at me suddenly. Her face was covered in snot and tears. Parts of her face were smeared with black mascara. She opened her mouth slightly, like she was trying to think of what to say. A small string of saliva connected her parted lips.
"I'm sorry." Her voice was soft; a fleeting whisper.
"Honey, It's fine." I cooed. "Do you have somewhere to go?"
"No."
"Where are your parents?"
"I'm sorry I just couldn't help it. I've been holding it all in for so long." It was like she just couldn't hear me. I wiped her face with me sleeve. She jerked away, out of her trace like state.
A deep red blush blossomed across her cheeks and the bridge of her nose. "I, uh, well." She sighed. "They put me in foster care when they found out I was pregnant and I ran away because they were so horrible and Matthew's parents won't let me talk to him and he's on drugs and John's mad so so mad and I got an abortion it hurts so much because it wasn't legal and I just want to stop feeling scared." She let it out in one big breath; her words were slurred but I got the just of it.
"What wasn't legal?" I knew what but I wanted to be sure.
"My abortion! My parents wouldn't let me so Matt and I snuck out before my parent sent me here. And to be honest I have no idea why I'm telling you this."
I hugged her "We all need someone to talk to." I paused. "Do you want to stay at my place tonight?" She bit her trembling lip and nodded.
We slowly made our way to my car. I got a blanket from the trunk and wrapped it around her. I stood outside for a second before pulling out my phone. I texted Hotch letting him no I wouldn't be in tomorrow.
I took a slow shaky breath. The cold night air stuck in my throat and made my eyes water. What the hell I just done? You just saved her life. A small voice inside my head answered. It was the same voice that told me to leave Will. It was my voice of reason.
I can't help it, it's gunna be a chapter fic. Please review and let me know what you think.
