'I'm sorry about that.' You said, as Emily stood aside for you to slip into her office. After walking in and turning round you watched Emily shut the door behind you both. 'Hannah's in a... weird mood today.'
'And what about the mood you're in, Y/n?' Emily asked. 'Does that have something to do with Hannah too?'
'Me?' You asked, craning your neck out as you said it. 'I'm fine.'
'No you're not.' Emily decided, walking towards you and stopping just a step away. 'What's going on with you today?'
Emily visible searched you, her eyes gliding over your face and then down to your hands. You adjusted your posture nervously as she did.
'Nothing.' You denied it, shaking your head.
'Has something happened?' Emily continued.
'No.' You stressed, putting on your best act and still failing miserably.
Emily continued to eye you, making you feel uneasy.
'What happened in the toilets?' She asked suddenly. As soon as the words left her mouth it was as if somebody had dropped a brick from behind your eyes down to your feet. Your whole body felt as if it had been jolted.
'The... toilets?' You shook your head at her.
'Yes.' Emily replied determinedly, hoping you'd explain before she had to.
'I don't know what you're talking about.' You denied it, looking anywhere but Emily's eyes.
She can't know. Nobody was in there, I checked!
'Y/n...' Emily said, closing the gap between you and pressing her hand to the top of your arm, '...talk to me.'
'There's nothing to say.' You said. You looked at her, felt her palm against your sleeve, and all you wanted to do was grab hold of her and never let her go. You wanted so badly to be loved by Emily Prentiss, but Hannah had done everything to make sure you knew you didn't deserve it... that nobody could ever love someone like you.
'You're shaking.' Emily said, pressing her hand firmer into your arm as the other one rose up to your shoulder and pinned it in place. 'Just tell me.'
'Nothing happened.' You replied, your voice squeaking as it came out more as a plea for her to drop it. You couldn't tell her.
What would she think of me?
Emily's hand rose from your shoulder to your face, swiping your hair away from your forehead before it landed back by her side.
'Chief Abbott paid us a visit today.' Emily said, pausing afterwards.
'Yeah, I... I heard.' You replied.
'I know you did.' Emily said softly. 'But when Luke told you, you didn't tell him you'd seen her earlier today, did you?'
