Blissful Ends
Derek's POV
You slide the key into the lock, coming home to this apartment almost second nature now. The apartment's dark as the door opens and you're surprised because you'd expected JJ or Emily to greet you at the door. That's when you remember, JJ had needed to leave before you got back because Henry had, had a doctors appointment and Will couldn't take him. You figure she would have left no more than half an hour ago so you wonder why the apartment seems dark and empty.
'Emily?' you call as you make your way further into the house but you receive no answer and you start to panic. You're taken back to that night 17 days ago when you'd first found her lying on her bed, overdosed on sleeping pills and you can't help but hope you won't be stumbling into the same situation. You race towards her bedroom and when she's not there you check every other room in the apartment but she's not there.
You're still immensely worried but now you're downright confused too. You have no idea where she could be, because she isn't at work and she doesn't have a session with her therapist and she would have left a note if she was going anywhere else you're sure. You're last thought is she's with JJ because it's the only other logical option. So you pick up the phone and dial the blonde's number because if you phoned and spoke with Emily herself you know she'd pick up on your worry. The phone rings twice before it's picked up and you've never been so glad to hear the younger blonde's voice than now.
'Jareau,' she answers professionally even though you can hear Henry chatting away in the background.
'Jayje, it's me,' you tell her trying not to sound worried, 'You don't happen to have Emily with you do you?' you ask trying to be casual. She pauses and you just know that means something bad is about to happen.
'Erm, no, she's not. I thought she was still at the apartment,' she tells you, 'When I left she was still at the apartment!' she stresses and you close your eyes to try and keep your temper in check.
'When did you leave Jay because I'm here now and she's not,' you ask in a tone crossing between frustrated and desperate.
'Not more than half an hour ago,' she replies and you sigh in relief. She couldn't have gotten far in half an hour, could she?
AN: So, apparently I'm really feeling the angsty side of life lately. Haha. Thanks to mindspsychoaddict who reviewed the last couple of chapters and also thanks to all my other reviewers too!
