When Love Lasts x Jemily

Chapter 2

General pov:
Emily and JJ were now about to get on the jet. JJ could walk but with a limp. All of the bandages were removed except for the knee brace and the one that covered her incision from the surgery. They were the first ones on the jet because the rest of the team was just leaving the hotel room.

Emily takes a seat near the back of the jet away from the rest of the seats. JJ cuddled up next to her. She was holding on to one of Emily's sweatshirts, clutching it close to her. It smelled like Emily. "Hey I grabbed this from your apartment." Emily whispered as she reached into her bag.

She pulled out an old, grey bunny security blanket. "Bunny!" JJ squealed. JJ had that thing since she was a kid. She dragged it around everywhere like a 5 year old. It made her feel safe. Nobody else knew about it besides Emily. She was embarrassed about it. Emily thought it was pretty adorable.

JJ clutched bunny with both of her hands behind Emily's sweatshirt so know one would see it. Eventually the rest of the team started to come onto the jet. Emily and JJ stayed together. Emily had her arm wrapped around JJ and JJ's head was leaning on her shoulder.

Nobody really really noticed how close the two were. They were pretty much used to it. Emily and JJ had always been like that. Like there minds were interconnected in some weird twisted way. The only one who did notice was Tara. She wasn't used to them together and she found how close they were funny. JJ was never close to anyone. She didn't show her emotions. She didn't talk much about her personal life. She was very closed off.

But JJ was different with Emily. Tara definitely noticed that. Her and Emily were pretty much attached at the hip. She didn't know how to describe it. JJ was just different when she was with Emily.

"Hey. How you feeling?" Emily asked looking down at JJ's head. "Fine." JJ said. Emily looked around to see who was watching. Everyone was pretty much doing there on thing. Although she didn't notice that Tara was watching the whole interaction. She couldn't hear anything, but she could see there body language.

"With no pain medicine you have to be in a lot of pain." Emily said a little over a whisper. "It's not that bad." JJ lied. "Okay rate it from 1-10." Emily says. "Like a seven." JJ said. "So a nine." Emily replied. She sighed. JJ always underplayed how much pain she was in. She didn't want to seem weak.

JJ shifted in her seat a bit and slightly hit her arm. She winced in pain. Emily's eyes immediately shot to JJ's wrists. JJ could tell that she was caught. Emily knew. Emily took JJ's arm using her body to block the rest of the team from seeing. She rolled up her sleeve a bit and saw the red bloody lines going up her arm.

Tears started to form in JJ's eyes but she wouldn't let them fall. She stared at the floor. Emily cupped JJ's cheek in her hand. "I'm sorry." JJ whimpered. "We'll talk about it as home okay?" Emily said softly. JJ nodded. Emily kissed the top of her head.

JJ rubbed her eyes and took a breath. No one on the team besides Emily had ever seen JJ cry. JJ clutched the sweatshirt and stuffed animal closer to her. Emily put her arm around JJ's waist and JJ moved closer to her.

About 30 minutes later Tara came over and sat across from the two. "So JJ how are you doing?" She asked. "I'm fine. Just got thrown around a bit that's all." JJ lied. "So did you talk to your mom? Are you staying with her?" Tara asked. JJ's eyes shot over to Emily with a 'help me' look in them. "JJ's staying with me. She's not close to her parents." Emily answered. "Oh okay. Let me know if there's anything I can do." She said with a smile before getting up and going back to her seat. "Thank you." JJ whispered to Emily.

Tara thought it was weird that Emily knew anything about JJ's parents. She never told anyone about her past. Whenever anyone would bring it up she would build walls around her that were impossible to break down. So why did JJ tell Emily about her childhood and not anyone else?

Finally they were back at the apartment. "So are you hungry? Do you need anything?" Emily asked her. JJ was staying with Emily so they had stopped by place and picked up everything JJ was going to need.

"No just tired." JJ sighed. "Okay you want to go to bed?" Emily asked. It was already almost 10:30 pm. JJ nodded. "Can I sleep in the guest bedroom?" JJ said. "If not it's fine I'll sleep on the couch."

Emily laughed. "JJ you're not sleeping on the couch. You can take the master bedroom if you want. Or the guest room wherever you want."

"I'll sleep in the guest room." JJ said. Emily walked her over and helped her out everything down. JJ crawled into bed. "If you need anything just wake me up okay?" Emily said. JJ nodded.

Emily bent down next to the bed and kissed JJ's forehead. "Are you sure you're going to be okay?" Emily asked.

"Yes Em I'll be fine." JJ said. Emily was about to turn the lights of when JJ stopped her. "Wait. Leave them on." She said.

"Okay." Emily said. "Good night. I'll be right down the hall." Emily said walking out. "Night." Said JJ. Emily left the door open.
