Emily's Letter

by Prentissownsme

Emily Prentiss has been in London for 6 months now. She is still in contact with her friends back in the BAU, but there's one person she's been keeping a secret from. She decides to write them a letter, to tell them. UPDATE: There will be a sequel at some point - drop some suggestions in the reviews if you have anything you'd like to see!

1. Emily’s Letter

JJ,

I hope this letter finds you well, I'm loving London, although I miss all you guys incredibly. There's so much to do here and not just with work, it's exciting! How is everyone? I miss our girl's nights with PG, I wish I could've brought you both with me... There's this amazing pub just around the corner from my apartment, you guys would absolutely love it! It's got a dart board and everything. I often think back to that night we spent in that bar, you playing darts with those sleezy guys, and Morgan dancing with those girls, how young and fun we all were. That was when I knew I'd made the right decision coming to work with the BAU, I couldn't imagine what my life would be like if I hadn't met you guys, my family. Especially you JJ. I hope Henry and Michael are both well, I miss those boys so much. I miss you Jen.

So, the real reason for me writing to you, instead of just calling or even sending an email, I just had to get something off my chest. I have done for years now. I guess it's now or never, right? Just gotta grab life by the balls and go with it sometimes! I don't know if I'll ever come back to D.C, so that's why I'm going to admit to this, because I need you to know how I feel, finally.

Jennifer, you are the first thing I think about when I wake up, and the last thing before I fall asleep. I dream about you, about life with you, about our future, about our children. I am so in love with you my body hurts, my brain hurts, my heart hurts because I know that I will never have a chance to show you just how much I love you. I regret not saying all this before, and I feel awful for bringing it up now, you are married and you have your boys. I am an awful being for even talking to you about this now, I would never want to break up your family. But I would never forgive myself if I never told you how I truly felt. Knowing that today could be anyone's last, I couldn't keep it in any longer. Even if this destroys our friendship, I had to tell you. Because I love you. Stay safe my love, speak to you soon, hopefully.

Forever and always,

Emily
