Chapter 38

** Darcy's P.O.V. **

I decided to get out of the house for a while as soon as Spencer left. It's been a while since JJ and I had a proper conversation since I returned. For some reason I feel she is trying to avoid me. I decided to give her a call

"Hey JJ" I smiled as I heard her reply

"Do you want to grab a coffee?" I asked

"Sure sounds great, I'll pick you up in half an hour?" JJ replied cheerfully

"Perfect" I said as I hung up the phone

****************************

"How's Will?" I asked as JJ and I entered the small coffee shop we visited almost every weekend before I left. It was our favourite, it could only hold 10 people but it had such a homely feeling covered in pink paint with white polka dots and the nicest cakes you could ever set your eyes on.

"Uhh he's good, yea he's okay" JJ said hesitantly as she sat down and I walked to get the coffees

That was a bit strange. All JJ could ever do was gush about Will. I simply nodded and left it be.

"How's Spencer? I haven't seen him around in a while?" JJ questioned changing the subject

"He's leaving for Islamabad in 2 days" I mumble bluntly

"What?" JJ says in shock as she almost spits her coffee out"We were finally getting back on track" I begin and for some reason I could feel my throat begin to choke up "we were going to start a family again JJ" I feel tears brim my eyes, but I see JJ swallow deeply as she avoids my gaze, what is she hiding?

I decided to push it to the back of my mind. Being back at work was causing me to over think things again

"Why is he leaving Darce?" JJ whispers saddened

"He hasn't been in work because just before I came back Spencer got offered a job with the CIA. Ever since then he's been training for a special ops mission he's leaving for in Islamabad." I sigh

I look at JJ and realisation sets in on her face.

"Darcy I'm so sorry" JJ's lip begins to quiver as she starts to talk but I look on in confusion

"It's all my fault" JJ whispers

"What?" I question starting to get annoyed with JJ's secrecy

"Darcy before you came home, Spencer and I, we, we had a thing and no one knew but I could see Hotch did. He didn't like it and I think he asked the CIA to take Spencer on board so that our work wouldn't be compromised" JJ began rushing through her words

"What?" I spat

"Darcy I'm so sorry, Spencer, he.. he thought you were dead Darce, he was so alone, he was missing days at work constantly, he wasn't himself. I didn't mean for it to happen, it just.... It just did" JJ stuttered

I scoffed at her sad attempt of an apology

"You know what JJ I'd blame Spencer, but he thought I was dead and he had every right to move on. But you" I spat "You knew I was alive, you fucking knew I was coming home" I growled

"Darcy I swear it meant nothing. Will was cheating on me, we had a fight and I kicked him out, I haven't spoken to him since. But at that time I was so upset and so overwhelmed and Spencer was there, he took care of me" she pleaded

"So you used him as well as making him cheat on me. You're a piece of work JJ you know that! You've kept this from me all this time! You've tried your hardest to avoid me at work and I tried to overlook it but you can go fuck yourself for all I care.... You and Spencer!" I raised my voice, stood up, and stormed out of the shop before JJ could say another word

The coffee shop wasn't far from my house so I decided to walk home. I don't know what overcame me but I just grabbed my keys and got into my car and started driving. I didn't know where I was going or what I was doing but I just kept driving.

I pulled up outside a familiar block of apartments and went to the top floor and knocked on the door

"Hey Darce, what are you doing here?" the beautiful man asked, looking surprised but happy

"Hi Will" I smiled
