There are Stars in Your Eyes

JJ's Point of View:

'bang, bang, bang' I wake up to the sound of someone knocking on the door. I glance over at Emily who is still asleep next to me. I look over at the bed side table, the clock reads '2:47' in big red letters. Who is knocking at the door at this time? I gently shake Emily awake, she inhales sharply and rubs her eyes

"Jayje?" She says groggily
"Emily, someone is at the door." A once tired Emily is now wide awake.
"What? Who could it be?" She asks
"I'm not sure. Maybe Hotch?"

Emily gets out of bed and grabs her gun out of the bedside table, she begins walking towards the door and I follow closely behind her. Emily looks out of the peep hole and sighs out of relief.

"What? Who is it?" I ask
"There is no one there."
"What? Are you sure? I am certain someone was knocking. Open the door and look out,"
"JJ, are you crazy? What if the person is out there?" Emily says. I reach to unlock the chain from the door and Emily pushes my hand away.
"Emily!" I yell
"What? I'm sorry I don't want to open the door to a serial killer!" Emily shoots back. I hear footsteps from outside the room, then someone knocks at the door. Emily and I both fall silent. Emily slowly moves towards the peep hole and exhales sharply.
"It's okay Jayje, it's just Derek," Emily moves to open the door, Derek is standing there in a loose t-shirt and sweatpants.
"Are you guys okay? I heard you yelling..." Derek states
"We're fine," Emily says, "JJ thought she heard someone knocking on the door,"
"Well that is the other thing," Derek starts. He then holds up a white envelope with 'Jennifer' written sloppily on it. "I found it on the floor by your door when I came to check on you guys,"
Emily tries to talk, but I rip the envelope out of Derek's hand and tear it open.
Emily reaches for the envelope, "Jayje wait, what if there is poison in it or something," I hold up the letter,
"I guess we will find out," I say and begin to read the letter.

'Jennifer, they might say we are star-crossed lovers, but the truth is the stars aligned when I met you. You are my Juliet, we will get our happy ending.'

"What does that mean?" Emily asks. Derek leaves the room to get the rest of the team.
"Um, I'm not sure." My mind is racing, I know what the letter means and who it is from, but I can't gather the courage to say it. The rest of the team comes into the room, Spencer reaches for the letter but I pull away. He looks at me concerned, but backs away giving me space. "The letter, um, it's from Will." I swallow and try to hold in my tears. "He use to always say that we were Romeo and Juliet, that we were perfect for each other." I take a shaky breath before talking again, "I would always tell him to stop calling us that because Romeo and Juliet don't have a happy ending, everyone knows that. Romeo and Juliet both die in the end."

Emily's Point of View:

I stand in the interigation room as Hotch is screaming at Officer Karigan, Will's best friend.

"Where is he!" Hotch yells at Karigan

Karigan looks up and smirks at Hotch. He speaks in a low, quiet voice, "I'm telling you agent I do not know where William is. Last time I saw him was when he came home after leaving blondie over there." Karigan looks into the one way glass. I follow his line of sight knowing that JJ is standing behind it.

"I do not believe you. You are his best friend, he is killing innocent women. I am going to ask you one more time before I arrest and charge you for obstructing a federal investigation! Now, where is William!" Hoth says as he slams his hand down onto the table. I have never seen him this upset.

Karigan just looks up at Hotch, not saying a word. Hotch is about to arrest him when JJ pushes the door open. Hotch and I look up at her. JJ's hair is now middle parted, framing her face perfectly. Her once buttoned up shirt now has the top three buttons undone exposing her cleavage.

"JJ get out of here, this isn't what we discussed," Hotch says sternly. JJ looks up at him,

"Please let me give this a shot," JJ says "Jason and I go way back." Hotch nods his head and leaves the room. I linger a little longer before exiting.

JJ begins her interrogation technique and I watch from the window. She approaches Jason Karigan slowly, using her arms to push her cleavage up slightly.

"JJ," Jason says slowly
"It's Jennifer."
"Well Jenifer, what do you need?"
"Where is Will?!"
"I'm not telling you." Karigan says, a smile spreading across his face. JJ sits down across from him and whispers something. His smile doesn't leave his face as he looks up in my direction.

"Hotch what did she say to him?" I ask
"I'm not sure, but whatever it is I hope he tells ber Will's location."

I watch as JJ continues her hushed conversation with the man, her hand moves to his. She gently turns his hand over and begins tracing light circles on his palm. JJ inches closer to him, she looks as if she is completely comfortable to the average person, but I notice her shoulders are tense and her free hand is subconsciously spinning the rings on her fingers. JJ's face gets closer to Jason's.

"That's it Hotch, I'm getting her out of there!" I yell
"Emily! Give her a second!"

JJ pulls away from the man and quickly runs out of the room and into the hallway. I chase after her,

"JJ," I say. JJ turns and looks at me, tears streaming down her face. "JJ, breathe. What did Karigan say?"
"Um, he doesn't know where Will is," JJ states wiping her tears away. "I um- I need to go back to the hotel. I want to wash his touch of of me"
"Do you want me to come?" I ask
JJ looks up at me and smiles, "No, I'll be less than thirty minutes."
"Okay, text me when you get to the hotel and when you are on your way back to the station."
"Yeah, I will." JJ pauses, "Hey Em?"
"Yeah baby?"
"I love you so much."
"I love you too," I say and kiss her on the cheek
"If you ever miss me, just look up at Jupiter, she will show you the way." JJ says. She kisses me deeply before pulling away and walking out the doors of the station.

I wait and wait, watching the hands move around the clock. JJ had texted me that she had arrived at the hotel, but never texted me that she was on her way back. Thirty minutes, then an hour passed. I had called JJ, but didn't get an answer. I waited thirty more minutes before telling Hotch I was going to check up on JJ. An airplane flew overhead as I got in my car to head to the hotel, little did I know, the love of my life was on that plane.
