"Have you and Elle spoken recently." Hotch asks me as the sits down for lunch. "Nope. She actually blocked me and Emily on Instagram isn't that funny." I say. "Well she said she's gonna sit with us today for lunch.... Just so you guys know." Pen says.
"Ew why." Emily says. "She doesn't really have many other friends." Derek says. "I wonder why." I lift my eyebrows and eat my food.
"JJ be cordial." Derek says. "I know," I deadpan. "I don't know why every one thinks I'm going to go off on someone all the time I'm only a bitch to people who are a bitch to me." I say. "As you should." Penelope says.
"Point taken." Derek backs off.
Elle comes over and sits down at the table and starts rambling about some class she's taking and the professor. "Like I don't even understand why I'm taking that class it's for communications majors. Like who the fuck is dumb enough to be a communications major." She says and I bite my tongue. Indeed being a communications major.
"JJ's a communications major." Reid says. "Yeah makes sense." Elle says. "Alright Elle enough what's your problem with JJ." Emily says. "No it's fine forget about it let's just leave." I say to emily.
"I don't have a problem with JJ I just don't see why you're with her." She says. "Well like JJ said to you that is none of your business." Emily says. "Em please ignore her."
"Scared?" Elle says to me and completely ignore her.
"I'm just saying you could find a lot better than Jennifer Jareau. She couldn't even keep her sister alive what makes you think she could keep a relationship alive." She says. And that. Hurt. So much.
Emily stepped in and said something but I didn't really pay attention as all the memories of Ros came back.
"..... and I'm so deadass Elle, you know my family and you know damn well I am not the one to fuck with. Cut the bullshit and stop acting childish. Okay?" Emily says and not another word comes out of Elle's mouth.
"Yeah I'm not gonna lie Elle it's getting old." Derek says, "don't come around us if you're gonna start drama and disrespect my friend every time. That was beyond fucked up and I will not have anyone around me like that."
"Whatever." She gets up and walks away.

I was quiet for the whole rest of lunch, the walk back to the dorm and when we got inside our room.
"Baby what's wrong." Emily comes up behind me and hugs me, placing a kiss on my cheek. "Nothing I'm fine." I say. One phrase I've mastered saying.
"Hey." She turns me around to look at her but I look at everything but her eyes.
"JJ?" She says as my eyes start to water. "Im fine Em." I say, "I'm gonna go shower." I say. Grabbing my robe and shower items and heading into the bathroom before she had a chance to stop me.
My phone rings and I pick it up, my mom.
"Hi mommy." I say. "Hi cupcake. How's it going." She says. "Okay." "How are things with emily?" She asks. "Good. People think I'm not good enough for her tho and that I wasn't good enough for Ros." I say. "Why do you care what people think? And Ros loved you so much sweetie." She asks. "I don't care what people think. But what if emily starts to believe them. I'm scared she's gonna get bored and break up with me." I let a tear out.
"Pumpkin I'm so sorry but i have to go I'll call you back later, works calling." She says.
I sigh as she hangs up. Stepping into the shower and starting to cry. I hate having abandonment issues.
-
I walk back in the room after being in the shower for almost an hour. I had to get out because my fingers were turning into raisins.
"Are you okay?" Emily says. "Mhm." I nod. "Your eyes are all puffy baby." She says and gosh here come the tears again.
"Why can't you look at me?" Emily asks. "Because you're going to leave me." I say. "Baby I'm not going anywhere. I'm right here. I have you." She hugs me and I start to cry.
"Why did Elle say that." I break down in her arms, "why did she say that about Ros."
She brings me over to the fluffy chair we got recently and I sit on her lap as I just cry my eyes out.
"It's all my fault." I choke on my own tears.
"Baby no it's not. None of it was your fault. Ros loves you so much and she would never want you to forget that." Em says. "But why would Elle say that then." "She's hurting right now. Hurt people, hurt other people. She was trying to hurt you." "I'm sorry if you don't want to be with me. I'm really Sorry."
"Jennifer I'm falling for you. Really hard. I've never felt this way about anyone else and it's scary. But i swear I'm not leaving you. Not without putting up a good fight. I'm not going anywhere. I pinky promise." She holds her pinky out.
"Pinky promise." I say. And we lock pinky's. "You can't break a pinky promise." I say. "I would never."
"I hate Elle." I say. "Me too." Em says.
"Your face is all puffy baby." She wipes my tears away. "Am I too much?" I ask. "JJ get out of that pretty little head of yours. You're perfect for me." She says.
I kiss her softly and smile into it. "I like you like a lot a lot. Like so much. Like words can't describe." I say. "I like you a lot a lot too."
