You Are Jemily Fanfic

Chapter 28

Emily POV

It'd been 4 days since JJ left and it was awful for me. At work, we played it off like everything was fine and only Reid knew it was a lie. I'd talked to her a few times and she always gave me a patient smile when I asked when she would come home, but she'd always respond with 'I don't know'. Night after night I spent home alone, waiting for her to come back but she never did.

On the fifth night without her, I heard a gentle knock on the door. I approached it and slowly opened the door, looking to see who it was before opening the door all the way. It was JJ. I smiled at her, and welcomed her inside, and as soon as I closed the door she wrapped her arms around my neck and pulled me into a tight embrace. She was cold, and as my warm body heat pressed against her I could feel a change in her posture.

She pulled away, and looked up at me. She pressed her cold hands onto my shoulders, and gently touched her lips against mine. I kissed her back, pressing into her firmly. I pulled back after a short time, but almost immediately found my lips back on hers again, my lips parted a little bit this time, closing over her bottom lip and tugging on it. She sighed and moved her hands from my shoulders down to my waist and with this new grip, she pulled me closer to her. Every inch of our torsos were touching and it was something I'd missed so dearly. I could've happily kissed her for hours there but she pulled away and slowly walked back towards my bedroom, and I knew exactly where this was going.

JJ rolled off of me, breathing heavily and laid by my side, both of us on our backs. I turned my head to look at her but she ignored the gesture and continued to stare blankly up at the ceiling. She put her hands to her forehead and rubbed at her temples.

"You good?" I asked her.

"No." She sighed deeply.

She sat up and swung her legs over the edge of the bed, and rested her head in the palms of her hands.

"I shouldn't have come here, I'm sorry." She mumbled.

"Jayje-" I started.

"Stop, I don't wanna hear it, I'll leave." She snapped back.

She proceeded to stand up and put her clothes back on, which were spread out over the floor.

"Jennifer listen to me," I got her attention. "You fucked up, okay? I get it. It's not like you had sex with her, you kissed her. It's not the end of the world. You were honest about it, you told me. I still love you the same as I did before all this. Please JJ, let me help you. I can see how much this is hurting you."

"I just feel so guilty. You trusted me, and I betrayed you. I'm so sorry Em I just can't do this anymore."

"Do what?" I asked, worry in my voice.

"Us, you, me." She admitted.

I stepped out of bed, throwing on my shirt and standing adjacent to her, meeting her eyes.

"I love you Jennifer Jareau. You apologized for what you did and I accepted it. I would take you back in a heart beat and you know that."

"Of course I know that, I just..." She stopped.

"What?"

"I don't wanna hurt you." She admitted.

"Come here."

I gathered her in my arms and held her tightly.

"Please just stay tonight, okay?" I offered.
