Emily followed JJ upstairs after earning the 'be good' look from JJ's mother. Shutting the door almost all the way as the rules of JJ's father had lain down. Emily followed JJ to her bed, JJ crashed down on the bed and flipped over to look at Emily.

"How can you look ready to run a marathon?" JJ said as Emily smirked.

"It's the Prentiss blood." Emily crawled into the bed puling JJ to her. "I have to get together with my family, you want to come?" JJ nodded and yawned, Emily chuckled lightly. "You're sure?" JJ nodded again and Emily rested her head next to JJ's "Want to nap first?"

"Please." Emily smiled and kissed JJ's neck. Emily grabbed the blanket from the end of bed and pulled it over them. Once she relaxed back next to JJ she realized JJ was already asleep. She pulled JJ to her, holding her close she spoke softly.

"I am so very sorry for leaving you Jennifer. I never meant to hurt you. I hate seeing you this hurt, knowing I did it hurts so much more." Emily heard the door open and stopped talking, looking over JJ's shoulder she saw J's mother looking at them. "I'm sorry mom, she just fell asleep."

"It's alright. You remember when you would just fall asleep at the drop of a dime?" Emily nodded. "That's her right now. Everywhere, the sidelines of a game, class, dinner table its been bad just trying to keep her awake."

"What is she taking?" Emily looked at JJ fearing for her.

"I'm not sure."

"I was on anti-depressants when I was doing that, I stopped taking them before I left."

"You changed before you left." Emily nodded. "You know, I knew you were going to leave. I just didn't know what you were going to leave, your mother or us. I was shocked it was us."

"I know…"Emily sighed.

"So, tell me about college."

"It's so different, I have about a year or two left, depends on what I want to take. I'm joining the Academy right after."

"Are you sure?" Emily nodded.

"I just want to do something with my life, not be like my mother."

"Andrew joined politics didn't he?"

"Yeah, why?"

"Because Alexandria, she's a senators daughter."

"She'll marry him for the benefits…" JJ's mother nodded. She really knew what Emily was talking about; she had watched the young girl's family ripped apart.

"I have to see him tonight, and see mother."

"Still haven't spoken to your father?"

"Nope, last I heard I have 4 more siblings."

"Wow, rough."

"Not too bad, he pays for Yale."

"He know… about you and Jennifer?"

"He knew…"

"Alright…" JJ's mother stood to leave. "Your always welcome here you know?"

"I know." Emily smiled. "You need help with anything?"

"If your willing, I'd like to move the furniture." Emily nodded and slowly pulled out of the bed, tucking the blanket in around JJ. Slowly she followed her down stairs into the living room. Picking up the backpacks thrown across the floor Emily tucked them into the corner where they belonged.

"What happened to Max?"

"He was stabbed by Thomas Rigby."

"The little kid down the street?" Emily asked shocked.

"Yup, Max scared him for the last time. I think Thomas was trying to break in and Max wasn't in his box, he attacked him and Thomas stabbed him eighteen times. He's still in jail for it, but he's disfigured for life, Max took half his face.

"Why?"

"Thomas hated Max, he was so scared."

"Did Max suffer?"

"Em…" JJ's mother set down the blanket she was folding.

"Please, mom."

"The vet said he could save him… 4 days later infection set in. he died a week after the attack."

"Why did you only try to call after he died?"

"Because you would've killed Thomas."

"What like I wont still?" Emily smirked.

"Don't Emily, you just got on track."

"I know."

"Good." Emily nodded and noted away to keep tabs on Thomas Rigby.
