Chapter 6

JJPOV

I was in my office finishing my paper work when I heard footsteps behind me and saw Hotch.

"When do I leave?"

"You've been ordered to be there at the end of the week."

I was taken aback and turned around to face him.

"What? I have to train a replacement."

"I'm not replacing you JJ. I'm hoping to get you back"

Hotch handed her an exit interview.

"Strauss wants you to fill it out and be honest."

I took the sheet, tears starting to form in my eyes.

"I was hoping I could do something about this and I'm sorry that I didn't."

We both looked down at the bullpen as the team gathered. I noticed that Hotch had tears in his eye.

"How am I supposed to tell them I'm leaving when I don't want to go?"

Hotch reached out for my hand and shook it.

"I'm going to miss you, JJ"

With that he retreated to his office. I then sat down and filled out the
interview.

EPOV

We were gathering all our jackets and were waiting to get out of there.

We saw Hotch exiting JJ's office and he retreated to his.

Morgan put his bag down and looked at us.

"What's going on?"

"Don't know"

"Emily, I'm sorry about what happened the plane. I'm just so worried about you."

"I know Derek, but I'll be fine."

Before he could reply JJ came out of her office and walked down to the
bullpen where we stood, patiently waiting to know what was going on.

JJPOV

Well here goes nothing. I walked over to my teammates, my family.

"Guys I'm leaving. I got a promotion to the Pentagon."

Everyone was in shock. You could tell that Rossi pretended to be stoic, Morgan was upset, Garcia was crying and Spencer looked like he was going to have a heart attack.

"They can't just take you away"

I walked over and gave Spencer a hug with tears starting to fall.

Emily didn't say anything at all. I could see the wheels turning.

"Emily"

But she still didn't move. I think she was in shock until I felt a soft pair of lips on mine.

EPOV

Oh my God! Did I hear right? JJ was leaving the BAU.

My Heart was pounding and I didn't know what to do.

All I could think of was that she was going to be gone.

"Emily"

I looked up and I didn't know what came over me. I walked over to JJ and kissed her.

The kiss was amazing. I slowly opened her mouth with my tongue and her tongue slipped into my mouth. She was kissing me back.

As the kiss ended we both opened our eyes. I was starring into her blue eyes with tears streaming down my face.

"I Love you Jennifer Jareau"

Then I turned around and walked away from her.

JJPOV

All I could think of was that there are lips on my lips. They were Emily's.

When I opened up my eyes I saw tears in hers and then she surprised me again.

"I Love you Jennifer Jareau"

With those three words she walked away.

I just stood there stunned. I couldn't find the words.

"Ummmm, did Emily just kiss me and say that she loves me?" JJ asked.

"I think she did" smiled Garcia.

I noticed that Morgan ran after her, but I was hot on their tracks.

EPOV

All I needed to know was that I had to get out of here, but no such luck.

Morgan was right on my tail.

"Emily what was that? You kissed JJ and told her you love her"

I stopped and look at him. He was out of breath.

"I don't know… It just happened, okay?"

"No it's not okay. Get your butt back in there and explain yourself to her."

"What if I don't, Morgan? Do I lose the BET?"

"EMILY!"

Morgan and I both stopped and turned around and there was JJ with tears in her eyes.

JJPOV

I caught up with Emily and Morgan. They were fighting about something.

When I got closer I heard Morgan telling her to explain herself to me.

Then came something that I never expected to hear.

"What if I don't Morgan? Do I lose the BET?"

My heart sunk. It was just a bet for her to kiss me.

That did it! All hell was going to break lose.

I turned around the corner.

"EMILY!"

Both of them turned around and saw the anger and tears in my eyes.

"A BET! THAT'S ALL I AM TO YOU, EMILY?"

Morgan came between Emily and me. I pushed him out of the way.

"JJ…."

"DON'T YOU JJ ME, MORGAN!"
He backed away and moved aside. By now the whole team was out in the hallway.

I didn't really care anymore who heard this. I'd had enough.

"REALLY EMILY? ALL THIS TIME I FELT EMOTIONS TOWARDS YOU, LIKE I CAN'T EAT,OR SLEEP, AND YOU FINALLY KISS ME. IT MADE ME FEEL WARM INSIDE AND GAVE ME BUTTERFLIES. I REALLY THOUGHT YOU CARED FOR ME BUT ALL I WAS, WAS A STUPID BET!"
Emily tried to say something, but I just had to keep going to show her that she had ruined my life.
"WHAT DID YOU WIN EMILY, HUH?"

She just stared blankly at me, then to Morgan.

"WELL ANSWER ME! WHAT DID YOU WIN?"

Morgan spoke up and answered for her.

"She got mine and Reid's vacation time that we had saved up."

"You two don't have vacation time at all."

Hotch spoke up, everyone looked at him.

"REALLY? VACATION TIME THAT THEY DON'T EVEN HAVE? YOU KNOW WHAT I THINK MORGAN? YOU ARE IN A SECERT RELATIONSHIP! HE IS NOT WITH REID."

"Whoa there JJ… Morgan and I are even tighter. We are actually engaged"

I turned around and looked at Spencer. Deep down I knew that Emily and Morgan were not together.

"SHUT UP SPENCER!"

I could tell Morgan was having enough of this outburst.

"That's enough, JJ"

He thought he was going to get the last word in this, but I was not done.

"NO YOU LISTEN! AND ESPECIALLY YOU EMILY! I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF YOU GUYS JERKING ME AROUND LIKE I'M A TRAIN MONKEY. EMILY, I CAN'T EVEN LOOK AT YOU RIGHT NOW. YOU DESTROYED MY LIFE. I EVEN LEFT WILL TO SEE IF MY FEELINGS FOR YOU WERE REAL, BUT AFTER THIS WHOLE THING I KNOW I'M BROKEN"

With that I turned around and walked away from her and the team.

EPOV

Okay what just happened? JJ blew, was what just happened.

Wait Morgan and Reid didn't have vacation time?

Everyone walked over to me, trying to comfort me.

"Way to go pretty boy, letting the cat out of the bag."

"Sorry"

"Are you okay Emily?"

"I'll be fine later. I have a plan and I need you guys to help me.
