One Second
It only takes one second to take a life away. One person. One breath.
Leaving behind an eternity of pain. Sadness. In one second you change something forever. And once that one second is taken, that one breath, you can never take it back.
You go through life thinking that it will never happen to you. Never once does it cross your mind that you might become a victim. Things like that don't happen to good people.
Life in the FBI teaches you differently. Never once do the persons that die deserve it. They’re loving mothers. Fathers. Sisters. Brothers. People that were loved and loved others.
FBI agents put their lives on the line to save people. Stop the cycle of death. Never stopping and think about the danger they are putting themselves in. Never thinking about the monsters stalking them in the night.
My own death was always on my mind. Yet I never acted on the things I thought.
I wish I had.
I wish I had told Reid that it was okay. That he would always be stronger than me. I wanted to tell Morgan that he could let his past go and look to the future. Look to Garcia and finally be able to love and forget. I wanted to tell JJ to get out while she still could and live the rest of her life happily with her son. Not to let it fall away like I had let my own family. I wanted to tell Garcia that she would always be the light of my life.
But I was alone.
No one was looking for me. No one even knew I was gone. It wouldn't be until morning that people started to miss me and who knows when they would find me. By then I would already be dead.
I was going to die here by myself.
It was around midnight when I got out of my car. I was just outside of Washington, D.C. There was a car on the side of the road that appeared to have broken down. I had thought about leaving him there. I had left work late and only wanting to go home and sleep a few hours before going back in.
But I couldn't leave the man stranded on the side of a less frequented road. I was only a few feet away from him when he pulled out the gun. It happened so fast that I couldn't grab my own weapon. In one second I was on the ground surrounded by my own blood.
I hung on to life for as long as I could. Watching the road with blurry eyes. Waiting to see head lights. Several times I thought I did, but always it was just my mind playing dirty tricks on me.
Tears filled my eyes as I lost hope and the will to fight. I shut my eyes and it all ended.
In one second my life slipped away. One person. One breath.
((So I'm going to give a little infor on this one. Its kind of a"fanfiction" bassed lossly on the TV show Criminal minds. Though it can be read from any veiw. The names listed above are just from the show. If you have watched CM then you may like to know that its written from Hotch's point of veiw. Also I'd like to point out it was originally a little over 900 words long and I had to cut a lot out. XD I thought it was a lot better before, but I think this one works fine.
