Emily's POV
"Of course." I whispered at her. I knocked on the door to get Penelope. She opened the door and I let JJ out.

"I have a box of your things upstairs. I'll give them to Pen next time I see her." She whispered when she got out of the car.

"Don't. I don't want any of it back. It'll just remind me of you. And I don't want that anymore." I said.

I sat in the passenger seat and Garcia grabbed my hand.

"Darling I am so sorry. I know she loves you." I shook my head and she stopped. We drove back to my place in silence.

She walked me to my apartment and left me alone. I went around and grabbed everything that wasn't mine.

Everything she had left here. Everything that reminded me of her. It was all thrown in a box to be given back.

There were shirts, toiletries, shoes. All of it broke me. I left the box by my door and laid down.

I want it to be over. I want everything to be over.

JJ's POV
I took one of Emily's shirts out of her box and put it on. It still smelled like her. I sat on the bed next to Will and tried not to cry.

My head hit the pillow and I was dying to sleep. I just want a moment to forget her. Her smile, her face, her nose.

I want it all out of my brain. Will wrapped his arm around me and I imagined it was her.

When I woke up it was peaceful for a minute. I didn't remember my feelings.

Emily's POV
I got to the office the next day and everyone still stared. Elle hasn't said a word to me and I killed me.

"I wanted to tell you personally that I will be gone by tomorrow. I'm leaving. This time it will be permanent." I said at the coffee pot. She rolled her eyes and walked to her desk.

"Elle please. You're like my sister. Say something to me." I begged. I had never broken down in front of her before. Not like this.

"And I watched you get buried. You were lowered into the ground. I can't ever forget that." She started to cry too.

I didn't get to say anything else before Hotch pulled me into his office. He sent me home because I looked like hell.

I got home by 4 and just cried. I'm keeping my promise to Elle and will be gone by tomorrow.
