I’ve decided to move everything over to this other account to make it easier. Tag lists will remain the same as before when I get everything transferred correctly.

Secrets. 1

this is a prequal to my fic on @alittlelessthanacircle​, but I am moving it over to here so that everything is on one account.

Emma Chase had received the letter from her uncle shortly after attending Sarah’s funeral. Having known the relationship between the woman and her uncle, the blonde doctor was aware of how much the loss would affect her previous caregiver and for that reason continued to make contact every few weeks. Losing him would have been the equivalent to losing her father, however, her actions had been futile.

To believe that she could help save that man was flawed, he didn’t require saving. What Jason Gideon required was a change of pace, he had surrounded himself with killers and that had stollen much more than his sanity. He lost people he loved, people he cared for, people he had assumed saved and it had all become too much.

He had explained that in his letter. Jason had told her how he wished he could remain in her life, but that he feared she would become a target for those who aimed their knives at his heart. He had watched her fight her way out of captivity before, and he didn’t want her to have to do the same again. To save her from potential trauma was what he thought he was doing, but abandonment hurt her beyond what her memory had.

However, knowing his ward as well as he did, Jason understood that he couldn’t leave her with no-one. Of course, the woman had her closest friend, but he was aware of Emma’s toxic independence. It had been her biggest downfall for as long as he had been her guardian. Having lost her family in intervals, she had taught herself the fundamental characteristics of living. She learnt to live for herself.

She had found herself re-reading a passage of his letter almost constantly, not knowing what he had meant by it. He had written: Perhaps the biggest difficulty of this is leaving you and Lacey almost alone. I wish I could tell you that the thought of that was enough to convince me to stay, but I’ve lost so much. However, I have put as much in place as I can to make sure that you can have the family you have always wanted. We should have known that I was never that for you, one man is not a family.

Of course, he had been enough for her, a man could be a family if there was enough love. She was watching Lacey’s favourite film as she found herself reading over the letter once more. Obsessing over the words had been her past time since she had received it, but only this time was she disrupted by the sound of her phone.

Emma pressed the volume down button on the Disney film currently playing on her TV, luckily for the mother Lacey had fallen asleep on the couch, the Infant Tylenol having finally kicked in. However, the mother knew that if she were to turn the film off completely the girl would wake instantly as if her were still watching the film.

She moved carefully, reaching to grasp her phone from the coffee table without causing the couch to move enough to wake the young girl. As she swiped to answer, she was greeted by a familiar voice she couldn’t quite place, “Is this Miss Emma Chase?”

“Doctor,” She corrected, knowing how much her uncle was insistent that she would be called by her correct title. “But, yes, this is she. May I ask who I am speaking to?”

There was a silence at the other end of the phone, where the receiver had become confused by the question, “This is Agent Aaron Hotchner from the FBI’s Behavioural Analysis Unit, I assumed you would be expecting a call. I received your CV earlier this week, and I must say that I was extremely impressed.”

“Thank you, sir,” Emma replied, smiling slightly to herself. “However, I didn’t send my CV in, not recently at least. I am going to assume that there was an external party who brought it to your attention.”

“If you are referring to Jason Gideon, then I would like to agree.” Aaron stated, causing Emma to nod to herself. “However, if you are interested, I would like to offer you a trial period with the unit. We recently received funding for an additional member, and I feel your expertise would be an asset to our team.”

Emma was silent for a minute, knowing that she wouldn’t have received this offer without her connection to Jason, “How long would this trial period last?”

“A couple of cases at the most,” the agent stated, “when would be the earliest you can start?”

Emma glanced over at Lacey, not wanting to leave the young girl while she wasn’t well, but also knowing that she wouldn’t get a chance like this again, “I would need to make a few calls, but I could most likely begin tomorrow.”

“That’s great,” Aaron exclaimed, and she could hear him typing before the silence became planted. “I’m sorry to ask this, but have you heard from Jason?”

“Only a letter since Sarah’s funeral,” Emma explained, letting out a sigh. “I take it there’s been no news on your end either?”

“Apart from a letter to one of our team and your CV, nothing.” The man stated, causing Emma’s face to drop. “I hope, in all sincerity, that he contacts you soon.”

“Thank you, Sir,” Emma spoke softly, noticing that the blonde girl was beginning to stir beside her. “I look forwards to working with you.”

Aaron knew from what he had learnt of the girl from Jason, that she was sincere in her words, but also that this job would be more than a career for her, ��And you Doctor Chase, have a good evening.”

I spent three weeks in a mental hospital and what I discovered there I feel like should be put into words.

we are not who you think we are.

the boy with turrets told the funniest jokes

the girl who raked her nails up and down her skin could create the most exquisite drawings

the girl who abused drugs had the wisest soul

the boy with schizophrenia had the biggest heart

the girl who tried to kill herself told the boy with insomnia stories to help lure him to sleep

the boy who wanted to kill himself had the deepest passion for cooking

the girl with slits and scars all over her body dried my tears and told me I was beautiful

the boy with anger issues gave the warmest hugs

the girl with bulimia told everyone every day that they looked beautiful in their bodies

the boy who was a compulsive liar told us that he wanted us all to get better, and that he was for once telling the truth

the girl who almost drank herself to death stood up for anyone that felt they were feeling bullied

the boy with social anxiety made sure nobody sat alone at meals

we are not who you think we are.

For any LGBT+ person who’s parents

Are having trouble understanding them

Think their faking it

Don’t believe them

Abuse them

Mock them

Degrade them

Refuse to call them by their preferred names or pronouns

Refuse to accept the way they are

I am here for you. You are important. You are valued. You are needed. I’m here if you need to talk to anyone. I’m here if you just need someone. Please stay safe, friendos. I love you all so much.
