Chapter 1

Emily's pov:
Today is my first day starting at the bau. I'm excited but nervous. Actually more nervous than excited. My skill isn't what worries me because I know that I can do this job. It's fitting in with the team. They're all very close knit, like a family. Family has never been my strong suit.

I push people out. I don't trust anyone. It was just how I was raised. What also worries me is the fact that I have pretty much fallen head over heels for agent "Jennifer Jareau" who I have met once, and I can't stop thinking about her.

I might be insane, but the second I saw her I was awestruck. Her beautiful golden hair, and deep blue eyes. Her delicate features and her voice sounded like an angel. But I cannot let my feelings get in the way of my job. For one, she's my coworker and that can't end well. And second, I can't tell anyone about the fact that I'm gay, because it's doubtful that will end well either.

So for now, I keep myself together and just don't slip up. I know how to do this job. I am a good profiler and I have the skill. This is my chance to finally get out of my mothers shadow. I cannot screw up this chance.

I walk through the glass doors and into the bullpen. Almost immediately I'm greeted by JJ. "Emily happy first day!" She smiles. God she's not going to make this easy on me.

"Thanks!" I say trying to be as normal as possible. I walk over to my new desk and set a few things down. She follows me and sits at the edge of my desk twirling a piece of her hair. I realize I'm staring and quickly look away. At this point I'm convinced she's doing this on purpose.

Finally she starts talking, distracting me. I try to focus on her words, instead of her. "So welcome to the bau's boy club. Although I'm sure you'll love Penelope she's the other girl here. Everyone's great though. There's me, the commutation Liaison, So I decide what cases we work. Then there's Hotch who works 24/7 and barley ever smiles, but he has a tough job as unit chief."

I tried to pay as much attention as I could. I really wanted to fit in here. "Then there's Derek Morgan, who is not all muscles I promise. He's a good guy. Has some weird, totally platonic, game with our technical analyst Penelope Garcia. She's the light in the darkness that we work in. And last but not least we have the boy genius Dr. Spencer Reid. He's not very street smart, but he's got 3 PhDs so that's something."

"So you guys are all pretty close?" I ask. She nods. "We're like a family. But you're part of us now. I'm sure everyone is going to love you." She says with a smile.

Just then Hotch comes out of his office and calls everyone to the round table. We have a case. My first case. This should be interesting.

We all meet at the round table. "Everyone this is our newest agent Emily Prentiss." Hotch introduces me to everyone. "Derek Morgan nice to meet you." He smirks leaning over to shake my hand. That earns him a smack on the chest from JJ.

"Don't worry he's all jokes. I think at least." She whispers. "Alright let's focus. Penelope it's all yours." Hotch says motioning  for her to start presenting the case.

JJ's pov:
Everyone's on the jet now and we're on our way to Houston, Texas. Texas isn't really my favourite place but I manage. It's the first case with Emily. I have no idea how I'm going to manage to work with that woman.

She's so perfect in every way. Her hair is always sitting perfectly on her shoulders. Her smile can light up the room. I think I might actually be in love with her.

Oh my god I've known her for 1 day. I need to pull myself together. I've never told anyone I'm bisexual let alone the team. I've known since I was 11 years old. One day I finally worked up the courage to tell my parents, and they were furious.

They were both extremely religious and screamed at me for hours about how I was committing a sin, and how I didn't love god. They told be it was just a phase and I would grow out of it soon.

I cried more that day than I had ever before in my life. I had told my older sister Roz before that night, and she was so sweet about it. She told me that she loved me no matter what. When she died I guess I never talked about it to my parents again. I couldn't deal with no one in my family accepting me.

Back to Emily. How am I supposed to work with her everyday and slip up and say something to the team? This is going to be very difficult.

When we get on the plane I take a seat. Emily walks on a few minutes later. "Hey you wanna sit here?" I ask motioning to the seat next to mine. Why did I do that?? I can't sit next to her the whole flight I'll probably faint just looking at her.

She smiles and sits down next to me. Her arm brushed mine slightly. I got a rush of butterflies in my stomach. I'm so doomed.

About a few hours into the plane ride Emily gets up. "I'm just going to make a quick phone call I'll be right back." She says walking over to the side. I know that I really shouldn't listen to her phone call, but I couldn't help but overhear what she was saying. The plane is pretty small.

"Hey baby...I'm going to Texas I'm not sure when I'll be back...are you sure you'll be okay?....alright see you when I get back...love you bye" she hangs up the phone as she's walking back to the seat.

I couldn't help but feel like my heart shattered. I know that's a bit dramatic given the fact that I barely know her, but I really liked her. And she was seeing someone.

She sits back in the seat next to me. "So who was that?" Derek asked her. He was sitting across from the two of us. "No one." She says looking out the window.

"Ooo looks like Prentiss has a boyfriend." He laughed. My stomach was flipping around now. I thought I might be sick. Why do I feel like this? It doesn't make any sense I don't even know her.

"Oh definitely not." She said with a slight smile. I frowned. "What does that mean?" I asked curiously. "Never mind. I don't have a boyfriend though." She said shifting in her seat.

That was weird. I couldn't help the flood of relief that I felt when she said she didn't have a boyfriend. I shouldn't, because she's straight and also my coworker, but I still liked to be able to imagine.
