It's my first time writing something and English is not my first language, please don't be so strict 😊 the first chapters take care of the backstory so you can understand how it all came about Emily and JJ are a very happy couple. They have a great relationship but everything ends once This Story contains: sexual actions, homophobia, death

"You know, those pants are too tight on you. Go home and change," I ordered. "If I remember correctly, we don't have a dress code. Why are you looking at that anyway?" JJ and Emily are just ordinary best friends and co-workers. Of course, that's until one drunken night. *JJ and Will don't have kids in this story.

The BAU is where Emily Prentiss and JJ met. When Emily joined the team she struggled to make bonds with any of the team and chose to latch onto JJ as she had shown her kindness. JJ simply welcomes Emily to the team. Both are unaware of the other's views on their bond. Their different lives offer different perspectives on what they view their relationship as and what they mean to each other. Their thoughts and feelings overlap at times and they often seem like they're chasing their tails rather than seeing eye to eye on what they are together. Each chapter switches points of view between the two, showing a new light on the same storyline each time.

*Trigger warning: abuse mentioned throughout the story* Emily and JJ always had a thing while working in the BAU. Even though Emily has a boyfriend who she's been with for a year, she's secretly in love with JJ and she may feel the same way. There's only one thing that JJ doesn't know, inside, Emily feels broken because her boyfriend, Josh, abuses her. One day, JJ notices the scars, cuts, and bruises on Emily and starts to get worried. Josh soon disappears and kidnaps Emily and also JJ for getting in between them.

JJ has a terrible, shameful secret that she's been hiding for a few months, the more time passes, the harder it becomes to conceal. Emily is the first person to find out that something is happening, but will she be able to get through to JJ before she goes into a downward spiral, or will she be able to help save her?

"JJ this isn't forever, I promise I'll be back." JJ nodded letting off a small sniffle "I know Em, it just sucks." I reached over and grabbed her hand "Listen, not even oceans can keep us apart. If you need me- I'm back. Just say the word and I'll be here before you know it blackbird." -- Authors Notes: There will be mentions of mental health, self harm, infidelity, death, and overall some situations that may make certain readers uncomfortable, so please tread with caution. Your health is much more important than a view on my chapter. I'll put warnings on more intense chapters, but know some issues may be mentioned casually throughout the story. I also tried to write this as if we were witnessing JJ and Emily's relationship grow on the show, I wanted it to be realistic so sorry in advance if It's long, I'll update as much as possible. If you're enjoying the story please leave a like or a comment, it's my first time ever publishing my work and any feed back is greatly appreciated.
