Criminal Minds Runaway

Ch. 33

                                                  Rossi POV 

We watch as Gracie walks out of the room, 

"Kids got a lot more pent up anger than she used to have that's for sure," Derek said 

I nodded, 

"We need to find this guy and fast," I said 

Derek nodded, 

"I'll go talk to her," Derek said 

"I think she needs to cool off," I said 

"Every time we do that, she does something reckless," He said 

"Point made," I said 

                                       Gracie POV 

I was leaning against the railing on the roof, my one arm on the railing, the other elbow on it, and my hand was in my palm, 

It was dark, and the light breeze blew my hair in the wind, the stars were clear and bright, 

Why do I need to justify my actions to them? 

Like they know anything what it's like having a serial killer as a father, 

A guy who would do anything to make your life miserable, 

Who caused not only physical pain, emotional, and mental, 

Leaving scars in places they wouldn't understand is possible, 

I let out a frustrated sigh, 

"And here I thought you made a grand escape again," I heard Derek but I didn't look, 

"Hmm," I said 

"Gracie talk to me," Derek said 

"Nothing to talk about," I said still looking out at the sky, 

I could tell he was standing next to me, 

"Oh I think there is," He said 

"Oh do you?" I said 

"Yes, Gracie you are hurting and your not talking about it, I want to know why?" He said 

"For the last time stop profiling me," I said glaring at him, 

"I am not profiling you, it's obvious something is bothering you but what I want to know is what is so terrible that you won't talk to any of us about it," He said 

"I'm not doing this with you," I said about to walk out, 

"Gracie stop! what is so terrible!?" He said 

I spun around, 

"You really want to know!?" I said 

"Yes!" He said 

"I've seen what my father did, all the the things he's done, the lives he's destroyed! and everything he's done to me, just to get back at me!" I said 

"I try! I try so hard! but I can't help it I hate him! I hate him so much!" I said glaring at him, 

"This uncontrollable rage towards one person! and I can't help but wonder am I going to be just like him, am I going to-" I said 

Suddenly I'm brought into a hug, 

Derek's chin resting on the top of my head, 

"Listen to me kid, that is not going to happen, you are a good kid with a good heart, no one blames you for your feeling towards him after everything he's put you though," He said 

"And not many people understand what you've gone through, but we do, we've seen things, and were here to help," He said 

I sighed with ragged breathing, 

"I hate him Derek..." I said as I started crying, 

"I hate him so much," I said clinging to his shirt, 

I felt my knees buckle, 

Derek went down with me, 

"It's okay kid I got you," He said 

"I got you," He whispered
