Title: Meaning Author: ficdirectory Rating: PG-13 Warnings Mentions suicide. Depression. Summary: JJ struggles with memories of her past after a case in Wyoming.
"Jennifer, no! Don't go upstairs! You can't!" Her mother sounded frantic and her voice sounded strange. "Why didn't you tell us? Why didn't you say anything? ...Is that her necklace?"
"What are you talking about?" JJ had asked, anxiety growing in her like a fire.
"Your sister is dead! And you're out playing? Wearing her necklace? What is the matter with you?"
Then, like it was controlled by something else entirely, her mom's hand connected with JJ's cheek.
LOVE this!
And she also chose it because those were Janet's initials, too, and maybe, if she tried really hard, she could be everything her parents missed in Janet.
This seems very true to JJ. Trying to be everything for everyone. <3
It was afterward, when JJ stared at the broken pieces that she realized her phone was vibrating. She hoped to God it was a case.
She hoped to God it wasn't.
Favorite!
"And you are?" she pressed gently.
Against her will, JJ sniffled, loud enough for Garcia to hear. "Lost," she managed, her voice breaking.
"Okay, listen to me. Stay right there. I'm coming."
"Garcia, I'm not really lost..."
"Still. I'm coming."
So presh!
"Oh, Jen," she sighed, and that was all.
In her arms, JJ shuddered, weeping silently.
She didn't let anyone call her Jen. Only Janet. But it sounded right. And somewhere, JJ needed to hear it.
Gosh, I love friendship!
"So, what kind of video were you gonna send to my baby? Nothing dirty, right?" JJ teased.
"JJ, are you kidding me? What kind of fairy godmother do you think I am? It's Captain Vegetable from Sesame Street."
Great line for JJ. And of course Garcia thinks she's a fairy godmother, haha!

Yes, absolutely.
Oh, JJ and her conflicting emotions. <3
I love JJ and Garcia. So precious and amazing together.
I know! With fraunds like these, who needs anemones? (Probably spelled all wrong, but I don't care, LOL.)
Ahaha! I know. They are both so funny.
Aw, thanks! I might have to!
