What Hurts The Most (Jemily)

Chapter 5

"Look how comfortable she looks." Derek said.

"She was in a romantic relationship with him." JJ said. She didn't know why, but she got a little jealous.

"Why would she sleep with a guy just for a profile?" Derek asked.

"I don't know. But we need to find her before she does something that gets her fired." Hotch said.

Emily was after Ian, obviously, and when she found him, she was so close to getting him. But, he outsmarted her and knew she would come after him. So, he made it seem like he got into the car but went in the alley next to the car. When she looked through the second car, she didn't find him and was confused. "Where's Doyle?" she asked.

"Right here love." she heard him say behind her. She turned around quickly, and before she could react, he shot her. Luckily she was wearing a bulletproof vest.

He took her to a wearhouse of some sort. He branded her, beat her, and most of all, he stabbed her in the stomach with a wooden stake. He got away, but JJ found Emily. "In here! I'm gonna need a medic!" JJ shouted and ran to Emily. "Emily! Oh my gosh, stay with me!" JJ said and took her hand into hers.

"JJ." Emily said.

"I'm here. Come on, don't close your eyes on me. Keep them open for me." JJ said.

"I'm so cold."

"I know. I know. Where's my medic?" JJ shouted as Emily started to close her eyes again. "Come on, stay with me!" JJ said. As the medics got there, they made JJ get out of the way which caused her to let go of Emily's hand. She didn't want to, but she had to. At this point, she was crying because her best friend was dying right in front of her.

At the hospital, Derek went and talked to the doctor while everyone else waited impatiently in the waiting room. When he walked in, he had tears in his eyes. "No." Garcia whispered and started to cry.

"She never made it off the table." Derek said. JJ started sobbing because she was there. Emily was right in front of her, yet she couldn't do anything because she didn't know what to do.

At the funeral, everyone was crying but JJ. She felt no emotions; like she was just frozen. When she walked up to her best friends casket and laid the flower on top, everything became so real. She had lost her best friend, and she would never see her ever again. JJ blamed herself for Emily's death because if she would have just gotten there a little sooner, she could have prevented Ian stabbing her, and Emily would still be alive.

After the funeral, JJ's heart was so heavy from heartbreak that she just started to break down crying. She could barely breathe, and she dropped down to the floor in her living room. "Come here." Will said as he sat next to her and comforted her. As she was crying on his shoulder, she started to cough. She started to freak out a little bit because she could barely breathe, and it was getting harder by the minute. Eventually, she started gasping for air, and Will tried to get her to calm down, but it didn't work. She ended up passing out.

6 months later

"Six months ago, I made a decision that affected this team. Emily did die for a little bit, but the doctors were able to stabilize her. Derek flew out to Paris and met up with her to give her her new identities. For the past six months, she has been away recovering. If you have any issues, bring them up to me." Hotch said.

"Issues? Yeah, I got issues." JJ said. Everyone on the team but Hotch looked behind her with wide eyes, so she turned around and saw her. Emily Prentiss, her best friend, was alive and well, standing right in front of her. JJ was about to cry again; not in sadness, but in anger. Everyone stood up and gave Emily a hug, but JJ just stood there frozen.
