JJ's POV

"JJ, it's Pen hi love. Hotch and Emily are pulling the car around for you." Pen says. "Okay." I say quietly.
"Keep me updated okay?" Coach says to Penelope. "I will text Tara all updates." Pen says.

"Derek Reid and Dave are going in a seperate car." She says. I need her to stop talking before my head explodes.

She wheels me to the curb where we are met with Hotch's car and him and Emily get out. "Hi love." She says and my arms wrap around her as she bends down.

"We're gonna get you to the hospital okay?" She whispers. "My head hurts baby." I say. "I know. It'll feel better soon." She says. "Let's get you up." Hotch says and they lift me up slowly into the car.

Emily gets into the car and my head falls right into her lap and I shut my eyes as sleep threatens to take over me.

I woke up in a hospital bed, the room was dark and I look around. My beautiful girl sitting besides me. "Concussion?" I ask. "Mhm. Doctors said you're gonna be out from soccer for 2 weeks." She whispers.

"Cuddles?" I ask. "In a second, look who's here." She says and my mom and dad come in. "Mommy, dad hi." I smile. "We will always come when you're in trouble darling. And we finally got to meet this Emily." My mom smiles.

"How you feeling?" Dad asks. "In pain." I say. "The doctors gave you some things to help with the pain but you are free to go whenever you're ready." Mom says. "Are you guys staying?" I ask. "We can't darling. But we just had to come to make sure you were okay." Dad says. They both place kisses on my forehead softly and say goodbye.

They walk out the door and I turn to emily. She climbs into the bed beside me and takes me into her arms. "So you met my father?" I say. "Yup. Most nerve racking conversation of my life." "Did he threaten you? I ask. "No. Just more of a, do you like her? Do you love her? How do you know you love her? What's your favorite thing about her?... then he asked my favorite football team I said the dolphins and he said he approves of me." "Oh gosh." I smile.

"Look at that gorgeous smile." She says a little too loud. "Ouch." I say. "Sorry sorry." She lowers her voice.

"May I have a kiss?" I ask. "Of course you may." She softly presses her lips to mine. "It was scary seeing you be knocked out like that." And says. "Yeah, that girl got me good." I chuckle.

I look up and notice her zoning off, she looked sad. "Hey?" I say. "Hm?" She smiles. Seemed kind of fake. "What's wrong?" I ask. "Oh ... nothing I um was just worried about this stupid assignment sorry." She says.

"I heard about the rank coming out soon? How do you feel about that." She asks, changing the subject a little too quickly.

The rank is a list of all collegiate women's soccer players ranked based on a variety of different assets. Skill and goals earned being main ones. Last year I was ranked number 51 and I really tried my hardest this year to beat that rank but with all these set backs I don't know. But also a lot of people have been mentioning how this hasn't been a good year in women's soccer so my rank may actually be higher.

The higher you're ranked the more publicity you get and no I don't care about that sorta thing, but it could be cool.

"I just wanna beat 51, that's all..... can we go home now?" I ask. "Yes my love."

We got back into our dorm and Emily made sure to keep the light off and she shut the blinds to the curtain. I had to take a break from the ice pack so she helped me onto bed.

"Maybe this was a blessing in disguise. Now I get to spend more time with you." I say. "Mhm, we get 2 to 3 days of all JJ and Emily." Em says.

"Can we watch a show?" I ask. "Yeah where are you blue light glasses at?" She asks. "Um somewhere in the bag." I say.

She passes me my glasses, I put them on and climbs into bed with me and she turns the tv on. "How's your head?" She asks. "Hurts. But the tv isn't making it worse."

She puts on Grey's Anatomy and we get to the part where Teddy cheats on Owen. "JJ if you ever cheat on me I swear I'm making everybody on this planets life a living hell for the rest of my life. And I'm shooting the person you cheated on me with." Emily says.

"Oh?" I laugh, "good thing your girl is loyal and would never cheat on you. You're already all I want and need." I say. "So some girl comes up to you and asks you for your number? What are you gonna say?" She asks me. "I love my girlfriend Emily Elizabeth Prentiss and you are not Emily Elizabeth Prentiss." I state and she giggles.

"Well if you ever cheat on me I'm simply burning down everything you own and everything that the bitch you cheated on me with owns." I say. "I would be a fool to lose someone as one of a kind as you." She kisses me.

"I love you sweet girl." She smiles. "You're my first love, did you know that?" I say. "I thought you had a boyfriend in high school?" "But I didn't love him. I love you a lot. So much that sometimes I don't know what to do with all that love that it stresses me out. I don't know what I'd do without you." I say. "I love how deeply you feel emotions, it's one of my 5 billion favorite things about you. I love you." She says.

"So if a girl walks up to you and gets a flirty and wants to kiss you what are you saying?" I ask, intrigued.

"My girlfriend is crazy and will kill you." Em says. "What- I am not crazy!" I say, too loud that my head started pounding. "Relax." She chuckles and strokes my hair.

"And you are a tad, maybe more than a tad crazy." Em says. "I'm crazy? Emily you called a guy a fat homeless looking fuck because he tried to dance with me." I say. "He couldn't go dance with one of his friends? He had a crush on you!" She defends herself. "And you also threatened to post some guys information on the dark web because he asked for my number. A little crazy." I say. "He should've known you were mine. I don't care." She says.

"Don't ask like I'm the crazy one here JJ who almost got into a fight with Elle?" Emily says. "You literally tried to punch her." I say. "But you started it."

"And when some girl was trying to dance with me, you started making out with me and then proceeded to tell her that you'd personally find her and shoot her if she ever made eye contact with me again." Em says

"Okay we just get a little possessive over each other!" I joke and she laughs.
