Save me - an Ashley Olsen story

Not how it Looks

Heyyyy! This one's going to be fluffy and have some feels. Sorry....

Once I got back I jumped into the shower, my back was a dark purple and did not feel the best. I lazily did my night routine and got into bed. Opting to lay on my stomach I drifted off to sleep

POV JJ

The next morning I woke up with an ache coursing through my body. I groaned and sat up slowly, rubbing my eyes with the palm of my hand. I slowly slide out of bed and make my way to the bathroom. Great, I look like shit. I think dryly. The scuffle we had left some bruises that I saw in my hazy state last night. I didn't take a very good shower though because I still see some dried blood and dirt, I also feel awful so another run though might do me some good. I turned the shower on and started to strip, I let a gasp out when I lifted my arms to take my shirt off. "Ok...pants first" I conclude. I slip my shorts off and slowly try to take my shirt off again. After some groaning and a couple choice words I'm now bare. I look at myself and damn I didn't think I got hurt that much, I mean I glanced briefly at myself last night and saw my back bruise but didn't really notice anything else. Must have been adrenaline. I had a deep bruise on my right side along my ribs, thank God they aren't broken. I have a red mark on my neck from where he had grabbed me to slam me onto the floor, and a couple smaller bruises on my left side from most likely rolling around. I turned to see my back and shit I have a dark black and blue bruise that starts on my right shoulder and down to my lower back, he really slammed me into the floor harder then I thought. I mean it was a concrete floor and he did use the momentum of me tackling him to his advantage, so props to him. There is no way to hide this shit. Maybe I can just ignore Ashley and Lizzie for a couple days, say I'm still on the case? "That's a shit plan, not doing that" I say shaking my head. Good thing Hotch gave us a the day off, gives me some time to heal. He definitely won't let me go back tomorrow if he knew I look like this.

I hoped in the shower and clean myself thoroughly. Once done I felt a lot better but still very sore. I got changed putting on joggers and a zip up sweater. I then grabbed some ibuprofen from the cabinet and took some. I finished my routine and then made my way to my nightstand. I grabbed my phone and walked to the kitchen putting the coffee pot on. I grabbed some bread and put it in the toaster then glanced at my phone. I saw Emily had texted me to I opened the message,

Em🐈‍⬛

Hey JJ! Just checking in
how are you feeling this
morning? Need anything?

Me

Hey Emily! I'm doing
ok, a little sore and a few
bruises but nothing I can't
handle. Just going to take
it easy today.

Em🐈‍⬛

That's good, I'm glad.
Not of you being hurt!
Just you taking it easy
you should call Lizzie
or Ashley I'm sure they
could nurse you back to
fighting health!

Ashley probably in a more
fun way 😉

Me

Oh God! I'm leaving now

I chuckle and set my phone down. Grabbing my toast and setting it on a plate. I then grab an avocado from the counter and cut it and put in on my toast. I grab a mug and fill it with coffee and sit down at the counter. I start to eat and drink my coffee in silence. Once done I put everything away and make my way over to the couch. I sigh as I sit and try to get comfortable but my back it throbbing. After some shifting and groaning I find a suitable position for the time being. Groaning again because I probably should let Lizzie and Ash know I'm safe and back, but that'll mean they will want to come over. Maybe I can hide it? My face looks like nothing happened which is surprising to be honest. Shit...my neck, turtle neck? No that's stupid. I groan and lean my head back and bring my hand no my neck. My throat is starting to hurt but it's not as bad as I've had it from being in a choke hold. "I'm just going to have to bite the bullet." I say and grab my phone. "I should probably call Ash fist right?" I think out loud. I sigh and hit her contact, bringing the phone to my ear and listening to it ring. What time even is it? What if I wake her up! I begin to panic slightly but that all washes away when I here her smooth voice on the other side, "good morning Jay! Are you ok? The case?" She asks in a worried tone. I chuckle slightly, "morning, I'm fine and the case was wrapped up around midnight so all good." I tell her. "Oh that's good! Thank you for letting me know. I was worried a out you." She says softly. I smile but then cringe, great now she's going to be worrying more because I was actually hurt! I think, "no need to worry, I'm still intact" I say instead. "That's good, but I'll always worry I lo...um care a lot about you and don't want you getting hurt." She says. I smile, then frown slightly her stumble, what was she going to say? I mean it was definitely not love right? That would be to soon...right? I mean I have a strong feelings about her but they can't be love...maybe just adoration? "Jay you still there?" She says and I get snapped out of my spiraling. "Uh, ya sorry. What did you say?" I chuckle awkwardly. I hear her laugh, "I was just saying that I'm actually at work and have a meeting in 5 minutes so I have to go, but I wanted to know if I could bring dinner by? I miss you. I know it's only been like a day but I just... I don't know like to be around you, you make me happy. Sorry if I'm being too much or clingy.." "I would love for you to stop by. And your just enough Olsen" I say cutting off her rambling. I here her sigh in relief, "ok, ok I'll see you around 5 then I'll bring pizza! I have to go see you soon" she say and I big her goodbye and hang up. I have a dopey smile on my face but then my eyes widen, shit! She's coming over! Damnit why do I always fall for Olsen ramblings! I sigh and lean my head back totally forgetting about the whole almost love slip up.
