Twin Flames X Jemily

10- Here For You

Emily's pov:
I heard about JJ and immediately got on a plane to Arizona. The team was stuck in Phoenix indefinitely because of a really bad storm in DC.

Now I was at the hotel lobby with the team. They were talking and I wasn't paying much attention but I could still hear them.

"Are you sure Emily should go in there? The doctor said that we had to be gentle with JJ and Emily isn't exactly a "gentle" person." Tara said. "No, but she's a lot different with JJ." Derek told her.

"JJ has literally only asked to see Emily since we found her. And she won't take the pills the doctor gave her." Reid said.

"I'm going up there." I told them. I went to the elevator and up to the room. Everyone followed me.

When I got to her room I unlocked the door and went inside. I could feel everyone watching me from the door but I didn't care.

JJ was laying in bed but she wasn't sleeping. I sat on the edge of the bed and gently stroked her hair. "Hey JJ." I whispered.

She still had on a bloody tank top and shorts and her shoes on in bed so I assumed she didn't shower or change.

She leaned into my hand crying softly. I put my arms under hers and carefully pulled her into a sitting position. I could see her body more clearly now.

Her face and hair were caked in dirt and her eyes were red from crying. The parts of her skin that were showing her bloodied and bruised. She had a noticeable black eye and busted lip that I think had stitches in it.

I reached for the pill bottle and a glass of water. "Open your mouth." I told her. She did. I took one pill out and placed it on her tongue before giving her the water. She swallowed it and set the glass down.

I stroked my thumb under eye where you could see the bruise. "You need to take a shower and then you should go to sleep." I whispered. "I don't want to." She mumbled. "It'll make you feel better." I said brushing a piece of hair out of her face.

The team was still standing right outside the open door so I walked over to them. "How did you do that?" Asked Tara. "Do what?" I said. "How did you get her to take the pill?" She said.

"Well I just told her to and she did?" I said confused. They all looked impressed which was weird. "You guys should get some sleep I'll stay with her." I told everyone.

They all nodded and went back to there own rooms. I shut and locked the door before sitting down next to JJ again.

"Cmon you need to shower your clothes are dirty." I said. "I don't want to!" She cried.

"JJ why not?" I asked her. "Because I don't!" She sobbed. "Hey." I grabbed her hand squeezing it. "What's going on?"

She just cried in response. "JJ if you don't tell me what's wrong then I can't help you." I said softly.

"I don't want to see it." She said barely above a whisper. "See what?"

"I don't want to see what he did to me. And you can't see either." She said. "Jen you will see it eventually. I'll help you it'll be super quick and you can get dressed again." I said.

Reluctantly she nodded. I carried her to the bathroom with her arms draped around my neck. I shut the bathroom door and helped her undress and take out her hair from the tangled ponytail it was in.

I turned on the shower and waited for it to be warm enough. I lifted her over the tub and under the running water.

I watched all the blood and dirt wash away from her skin. I washed her hair for her and then her body. Something I noticed was that there was something tan washing off of her arms. Underneath was a ton of scars and cuts that broke my heart. But I didn't mention it yet.

I washed her face off and then helped her out wrapping her in a towel. I grabbed some fresh clean clothes and helped her get dressed.

After I untangled her hair she laid down in the clean bed and I sat next to her. "JJ I need to ask you something." I told her. She nodded her head.

"What happened to your arms?" She looked down at her wrists and realized. I could see her thinking of a lie in her head. "He did that to me." She finally said.

"Sweetie I know that's not true. They were covered in makeup which means you were hiding them." I said. She looked defeated.

Tears started to fall down her face and she turned away from me.

I lifted her into my lap but she tucked hr head down so she didn't have to look me in the eye. "JJ you have nothing to be embarrassed about." I leaned down and kissed the top of her head.

"you could have told me." I whispered. She shook her head no. "You're breaking up with me." She cried. "Because I'm just some stupid worthless and damaged thing that nobody wants."

She just cried harder. "JJ I'm not going to breakup with you. I'm going to be here for you every step of the way." I told her.

She rested her head on my chest and I tried to get her to breathe slower. Eventually I think she fell asleep which was good.

I rubbed her back and thought about what to do. I've never been in a situation like this and I didn't want to say the wrong thing.

I couldn't sleep at all. I was too busy thinking and also I felt bad. JJ got kidnapped and I wasn't even there. I'm just thankful that she made it out alive.

I glanced over at the clock and saw it was already 2am and I still hadn't been able to fall asleep. I hadn't moved from my position with JJ on my chest because I didn't want to wake her up.

I thought she was being unusually quiet and still so I tried to look at her to make sure she was still breathing. She was, but I noticed tears falling out of her eyes. She was crying.

I decided to wake her up because I think she was  having a nightmare. "Hey JJ. JJ wake up." I whispered quietly.

She shifted around and her eyes fluttered open as she blinked away tears. "Shhh it's okay." I soothed rubbing her back.

She put her head back down wiping her eyes on her sleeves. She rested her head on my chest again and went back to sleep. I watched her chest rise and fall as me made tiny noises in her sleep.
