Hey guys, I'm trying my best to write everyday but I've been exhausted. Anyway…
JJ's thoughts
Emily's thoughts
Hope y'all enjoy this chapter.
"Am I with JJ or something?" She bluntly asked making Derek spit his coffee. "Dude, you ok?"
"Yeah, I'm good." He said while cleaning his shirt. "Sorry, you just took me by surprise."
"No problem, but am I?" She insisted.
"Ha. Well you are not. And you never even said you liked her, Garcia and I insisted but you were always like 'no Jennifer is just a friend' 'I don't see Jennifer like that'" He said on his perfect impersonation of Emily and that made her laugh. "But how do you even know you liked/like her?"
"I don't know, it's just, she has this influence in me, like, she told me a lot of things about me, and when I think about her I get this warm fuzzy feeling inside… That's good right?" Emily asked.
"Yeah Princess, that's good, not just good, that's amazing, in fact I just won 20 bucks." He said with a smirk while picking his phone from his pocket and sending a text. "I made a bet with Garcia that you would tell me that you have a crush on JJ before you tell her." The guy said and Emily smiled while rolling her eyes.
After Morgan left Emily had her alone time with Rossi, and found out that they were great friends, the man had even taught her his secret lasagna recipe, and told her that he would be happy to show her his technique again if she wanted. Later, Hotch had his alone time with Emily and told her what he knew about her, and that she should not worry about her position at the BAU. Once they finished their conversation, Agent Hotchnner informed his team that the guys would be leaving that same day but JJ was going to stay with Emily even though Derek and Spencer volunteered to do the same but backed out when JJ glared at them. Following their goodbyes both women were alone with each other again. The blonde agent sat beside's Prentiss's bed.
"You excited to go home tomorrow?" Jennifer asked nervously.
"Yeah… I'm just kind of worried." Emily responded, quietly adding. "Like… I don't even remember my own home. Hell, I don't remember my mother."
"I feel like crap when I can't remember my dreams, I can only imagine how you must be feeling…" stated making the other agent smile. "You know I'm going to stay with you until you get your memory back right? Medical orders."
"You don't have to, I don't need a babysitter, no offense…"
"None taken, ok sure… So I can go back home tomorrow and you're gonna have to stay here until your memory's back." JJ said trying to hide her smirk. "I'm sure that's okay right Emily? I mean… you always loved hospitals."
"Wait, what? I can't go home unless someone watches me?" She asked and JJ nodded. "Ok… You can babysit me… And for the record, I hate hospital's vibes, it gives me the creeps…" She added but noticed the blonde's smirk "but you already knew that."
"I did indeed… My suggestion, Agent Prentiss, is that you sleep and I'll wake you up around six a.m. so you can start getting ready while I go sign your discharge's papers, Hotch said he got almost everything done, but that I still needed to sign some things when we leave. We should be ready to go around seven, half hour to get to the jet, then about four and half hours till we get to D.C." Jennifer told Emily her suggestion but the brunette seemed to be so deep in her own thoughts that she wasn't even paying attention. "Em?" Nothing, she wasn't even blinking but the habit of biting her nails was still there. "Emily." JJ called again and her friend looked at her.
"Yeah? Sorry … What were you saying?"
"I was telling you to sleep honey… Big day tomorrow." JJ said putting her hand on top of Emily's. Oh my god, I'm touching her.
"No, yeah, I mean" Oh my god she's touching me. Oh get a grip, she seems to be nice to people in general don't read too much into it. Breathe and answer her you idiot. "I think I need sleep." She's still touching my hand, maybe I should hold her hand. Yeah I'm going for it. "You seem like you need a good night of sleep too." Smooth. Emily was now holding JJ's hand and the blonde was trying her best to not freak out.
"Yeah, I haven't slept since the night before you got shot." Emily is holding my hand, fuck, language JJ, she is fragile and looking for comfort. Be a good friend. Hold her hand back.
"You must be exhausted." Emily assumed.
"You must be exhausted as well." JJ returned.
"Maybe we both need to sleep?"
"Yeah that sounds about right." Jennifer said with a smile and let of the brunette's hand making Emily immediately miss the contact, to get up and turn off the lights. "Oh I forgot, Morgan thought you should have this. He brought your go back and your iPod. He also said and I quote 'Princess needs her jams', and Garcia kind of broke into it because they assumed, correctly I guess, that you wouldn't remember your passwords." The blonde said while taking an iPod from her pocked and giving it to Prentiss along with her headphones.
"That's so sweet, and the fact that she has access to all my information is kind of disturbing." Emily said with a chuckle, making JJ laugh.
"Yeah well, she won't use it against you, I promise, and she knows how to keep secrets." I sincerely hope so.
"Well, I think I'm gonna listen to some of this music for a while. You should get some sleep."
"Yeah" JJ said while she prepared to sleep on the sofa near the bathroom. "Good night Em." The blonde said drifting off to sleep.
"Good night Jennifer" Emily responded smiling.
The brunette thought it would be interesting to find out what kind of stuff she had on her iPod. She went through the pictures and found lots of pictures of the team together, in bars, clubs, pictures of herself with JJ, some with Derek, some with the other guys, and a girl with a unique sense of style wearing glasses, she could only assume the woman was Garcia. Reid playing darts, JJ playing darts, Garcia apologizing to a guy that had a dart on his shoulder. Lots of pictures of a cat that she hoped it was hers, because it would be pathetic if it wasn't. Then she found something that caught her attention. It was a picture of her and JJ, just like many others, except that it wasn't. In this specific picture, JJ was looking at the camera and Emily had her face turned to JJ's, while the girl was smiling at the camera, Emily was smiling at the girl, and anyone could recognize the look in her eyes.
Emily was in love with JJ. She didn't remember. But she knew for sure. That last photo was the proof that she needed. After going through all of the pictures she decided to listen to music and try to sleep. Once she opened the music app there were lots of playlists, apparently she was organized. One playlist stood out. JJ. She tapped on the playlist, put the first song on the list to play and locked the iPod.
Should I fall out of love, my fire in the light to chase a feather in the wind within the glow that weaves a cloak of delight there moves a thread that has no end.
Yeah that's kind of depressing, let's try another one.
Standing there I've been watching youall alone your face says it alldesperately I need to talk to you
Ok… Let's try shuffle all because this is sad.
I can't fight this feeling any longer, and yet I'm still afraid to let it flow, what started out as friendship has grown stronger…
Maybe I should try another playlist… With that Emily put on the 'Good night' playlist on her iPod and drifted off to sleep with JJ on her mind. She could only hope that her dreams were as sweet as JJ's smile.
