The wrong choice | Emily Prentiss

- Emily Prentiss

The whole journey home I felt relaxed. The case was closed. Nobody could get hurt anymore. God I wish. Nobody would get hurt by them anymore atleast. One day I wish we could eradicate everyone who has committed any of these crimes we have to solve. Sometimes I just wish the world was full of peace.

The drive back to Quantico was silent. I could tell from small glances between Spencer and Gideon that they either didn't trust me or just didn't like me. It hurt me because I've seen the way they were with the others. So why couldn't they be like that for me? As soon as the car stopped I jumped out. I pressed the number in the lift to the floor and waited. When I got there I noticed her office door was shut but that didn't stop me. I climbed the stairs and headed over. I knocked slightly before walking in.

She was sat on her desk smiling at me.
"You took your time" she commented

I didn't say anything I hustled walked over and hugged her. She wrapped her arms tightly around my neck as I had mine on her waist. I felt tears brewing in my eyes. I was just tired.

When I pulled away I saw it. A small line of stitch's in the side of her cheek. It was definitely going to scar. Her hands came to my face, her thumb gently swiping the tear that had fell.

"I didn't class you to be emotional agent prentiss. Tell me, what's on your mind?" She questioned her hands gently playing with the strands of my hair

"I don't know. I'm just tired. Relieved. I think I just need to sleep. Maybe tomorrow will be better." I paused for a moment "why is everyone seeming to be pushing me away?" I asked

Felicity pointed over to the sofa on the other side of the office. I went and sat down, my eyes followed her as she sat next to me.

"Nobody's pushing you away em. I think there all just abit broken since Elle left. Spencer may be giving you a harder time because he sees you as a threat. He and Elle also had a weird thing and I suppose Gideon saw her as a daughter. But they'll come around. Everyone will. You just need to show them that it's not affecting you. I know deep down it's not. I just think the pressure of making a good impression has broken you down and that's why your sat here" she turned to me, a smile on her face as she patted my knee.

"You Emily Prentiss need to live the BAU after party." She cheered. I raised a brow "after party" I was concerned and confused as I spoke.

"After some of the bad cases we all go out for drinks. It might not be professional but it allows us to let off steam. Aaron sometimes comes but he has a kid so it's rarely. And well Gideon has only ever come once. Look your coming let me go tell everyone." I didn't even have time to protest as she quickly left the room.

I walked to the door and leant against it, I watched as she smiled as she spoke to derek, Spencer and Penelope. Jj walked over quickly after hearing the word "drinks" when they all accepted she ran back up to me.

"Pack up your shit em, I'll do your paperwork tomorrow. We're going out" she smiled as she grabbed her bag from behind the desk.

"First rounds on me" derek announced taking everyone's orders.

As he departed to the bar we found the biggest booth for us, as conversations flowed felicity stood up.

"I'm gonna go help Morgan." She quickly walked over to the man, her hand on his shoulder whilst he moved his to her waist.

"God I'm jealous" Penelope sighed

"Why?" I asked out of curiosity

"Because whilst I get all the cute names and nice comments she gets to be physical." Penelope sighed again.
