Ashley's POV*

Ashley?" Joey's voice rang through. Hotch pulled away. Joey just looked at me with tear-filled eyes.

"Joey, baby, this isn't what it looks like." I start.

"Really? Because it looks like I caught you cheating." He spat. A tear rolled down his cheek. I tried to break free from Hotch's grip.

Once I broke free, I walked over to Joey. I tried to take his hand, but he pulled back. "Baby, you know that I wouldn't cheat on you." I say, my voice craking.

"Really? So I didn't just see my wife making out with her boss?" He asks.

"Joey, please. You have to believe me." I beg.

"Why should I?" He asks.

"Because I love you. Joey, I can't live without you. You know that." I answer.

"I wish I could believe it." He spat. With that, Joey walked off. He just left me. I didn't know what to do. I was frozen, I couldn't move. I was heartbroken. I was upset, angry and sad. My love just walked away. I turned around and glared at Hotch before walking off.

I sighed as I left the venue. I just walked.

Somehow, I ended up at a park. I had no clue to where I was. I just sat on a bench, and basically cried.

***Joey's POV***

I sat at a long table with the guys, along with their wives and Alan's kids standing behind us. The team was spursed around the foyer of the building. I sighed as I watched Ashley leave the building. At this point, I couldn't care.

"Hi, I'm Joey. What's your name?" I gave a fake smile as a young girl approached me.

The little girl grinned, "Arielle."

"How do you spell that?" I asked, as she handed me a tshirt and a poster. The young girl spelt it out for me as I signed the things she handed me. Once I was finished, she moved on to the other guys.

"Bro, where'd Ashley go?" Chad asked as the girl moved.

I shrugged, "I don't know."

"What's up? You seem down." He states.

"I caught Ashley cheating." I sigh.

"What? That doesn't sound like her." Chad shakes his head in disbelief.

"Yeah, with her boss." I mumble.

"That's gotta suck, bro. Did you ask her about it?" He asks.

"What am I gonna ask her? Oh, hey are you cheating on me with your boss?" I replied sarcastically.

"Sorry." He mumbled.

"Hi, I'm Joey. You are?" I plastered another small, fake smile as a girl approached me. She told me her name, I signed her things, and she told me how much the band means to her. This whole process went on for a couple hours.

I wasn't really feeling it. My heart was broken, and I was angry. My wife, of almost four years, was caught cheating. The girl I've loved for over nine years.

"Joey, time to go." Alan said, snapping me back.

"Yeah." I mumbled. I got up and followed the others to the dressing. Hotch was still in there. I glared at him as I entered the room. We packed all of our things.

"Hey, I'm gonna call Ashley. See where she's at." Chad states.

"Whatever. I don't care." I sigh.

"Bro, what's going on?" Alan asks.

"She's cheating on me." I answer. Alan looked at me wide-eyed. I just nodded. I wasn't really in the mood for this.

***Ashley's POV***

"Why? Why God? Why did this happen? I love Joey." I cried. That's all I did. I cried, I didn't know what else to do.

My phone went off. I sighed as I wiped my tears. I answered it without looking at the caller ID. I didn't really care at this point.

"Hello?" I answered.

"Ashley, where are you?" Chad asks.

"I don't know and I don't care." I sigh.

"Ashley, don't do that. Where are you?" He asks again.

"I really don't know. I just want to be left alone." I mumble.

"Joe told me what's going on." He sighs.

"Great. He probably hates me as do you and everyone else." I sigh.

"No, I don't hate you. What really happened?" He asks.

"It's a long story." I answer.

"Turn on your gps. I'm coming to get you. Everyone here has basically sided with Joe or Agent Hotchner." He demands.

"Fine." I grumble.

"Thank you. I'll be there soon." He hung up after that. I turned on my gps.

Within minutes Chad was here. I sighed as I got up and climbed into the vehicle. The short ride was silent. I didn't really want to say anything.

As we neared the hotel, I was nervous. I wasn't ready to face everyone.

"It's gonna be okay. I'm on your side here. Everything will work out, sis." He soothes. I took a deep breath as we entered the hotel and walked up to our room.

Just as I entered our room, everyone stared at me. Chad was clearly angry. "You're serious, right? Give her a chance to explain herself. You have no idea how she feels about this whole thing. You automatically take one of their sides."

Nobody said anything. They just stared at me. "She needs to leave." Joey mumbled.

That was my breaking point. I looked down and nodded. Tears fell from my eyes. I turned around and opened the door.

"No, Ashley, stay. You're family, you deserve to stay here just as much as them." Chad demanded. I sighed and shut the door. I stood there awkwardly.

"You're serious. You guys hate me. That's just lovely. The people who I call family won't even look at me or say anything to me." I mumble. "Chad, I'm leaving. Nobody wants me here."

"No." He jumps in front of the door.

"Do you know how long it's been for Hotch? His wife died six years ago and his girlfriend left four years ago." JJ defended him.

"That doesn't give him the right to me. I'm married, to someone I love. How would you feel if it was you and Will caught you?" I nearly yelled.

"Don't bring my family into this." She growled.

"Really?! Cause y'all are against me and my family. This isn't fair." I cried.

"It is. You're cheating." Joey spat. I sighed and turned around. But Chad was still blocking the door.

"Chad, please move. I don't want to deal with this." I mumble.

"Ashley, I'm not letting you leave. You deserve to stay here, they can't tell you to leave." He explains.

"Chad please. Nobody wants me here, and I want to be alone." I beg.

"If you leave, I'm going with. I don't care." He says.

"Nevermind." I mutter.
