"I'd like to talk to her, date her. The other side of me says, i wonder what her head would look like on a stick?" - Edmund Kemper

I won't say that what she had said last night didn't hurt. Because it did. But i also know that there is little i can do about June. It's always been June, June, June. Everywhere in Y/n's life it's June. Family gatherings, crises, 'she needs me' speeches. Always June. It's been like that her whole life. If we hadn't lived together before we actually got together, June would have been in the way for us moving in together as a couple. I know it because she kept referring us as roomates in our home. Because neither of us thought to actually ask, will you move in with me officially as a couple. Never given it a thought, because we were happy with how it was.

We were happy. What happened? Right, June. June happened. One day everything was perfect, even with the case. And after June had talked to her in that hospital bed when she woke up, it all came falling down. I don't think i've ever wanted to get rid of someone as much as her. And unfortunately, i think most of the team could agree on it.

"What if you were to stay in DC?" i can't stop myself from asking it as we're getting ready to leave the hotel.

"I told you Em, i belong in Philly now" she walks over to the mirror to put her hair up in her new signature ponytail.

"No" i say before thinking again. She stops and looks at me in the mirror.

"What do you mean no?" and turns around to face me.

"You belong with me Y/n, can't you see that?" i walk up to her as i say it, taking her hand in mine. Only to place it over my heart.

"I can but how is it possible when our lives are so far apart" how can something like this in real life almost seem poetic.

"They didn't used to be, they used to be the same" we both remember the time. The time were our biggest problem was for me to get her to like me. Which wasn't that hard once she gave me a chance.

"And then everything changed, i know. But it doesn't change the fact that my life is in Philly and you're in Quantico"

"My life is with you Y/n, wherever you are." now we're close enough for me to feel the heat of her surrounds me and seeps through the layers of clothes to my skin.

"We can't..." a knock on our door stops her from saying whatever it was she was going to say. Which i'm thankful for.

"You guys coming?" JJ asks through the door. But we didn't move, we're still standing close.

"Coming" Y/n calls back and lets go of my hand to head to the door. Glancing an apologetic gaze to me before opening it and leaving JJ to look at me.

A/N I know i've got the years a little wrong with Gideon leaving and Rossi coming, but it's my new timeline because it's too much to change it to the right years.

Emily pov - three months after joining

I have to give this a chance, i have to try. It's not like i blame Y/n for being hostile against me when i know she and Greenaway were best friends before. And i come here and took her place. I get it, but i still want her to be more than her teammate, i want to be her friend.
