"oi, oi, baby girls," emily teased, heading down the stairs from her office. i couldn't help but smile at her, even slightly. emily walked over and kissed jj's head softly before walking and standing behind my chair. i hoped she didn't touch me. "i'll have you know, prentiss," morgan muttered, leaning over. "i am not your baby girl." emily smirked. "oh yes you are," she replied before putting both her hands on my shoulders. i froze. "it's date night tonight," she told me, "your turn to pick." JJ and emily were both looking at me expectingly and i felt so much pressure. i didn't want a date night. i wanted to be in my own bed at my own house with my blanket and my comfort show. not out on the town with them. i loved them, i really did - but , everything was so scary. "y/n," emily said, waving her hand in my face. i clicked out of my trance and looked up at her. "date night?" "i don't really feel like date night today, how about you go without me?" i said sweetly, tilting my head to the side and pouting. "you said that last week," JJ sighed, coming to sit by me. i lowered my head and blushed. i didn't want this conversation at work. "okay fine. you're coming next week though," emily said. she gave my shoulder and squeeze and walked away. she was upset with me now. goddamnit. JJ didn't leave though, staying at my desk. i shuffled over to the computer, hoping to do some work- even with her sat there. "what's going on with you, y/n?" "that's such a broad question, right now, my body is pumping blood around my entire bod-" "y/n," jj sighed. i lowered my head again. "why you cutting us out like this? you loved date night! you suggested date night!" she exclaimed. i sighed and shook my head. "i don't want to talk about this now," i said, pushing out my chair. "then when are we going to talk about it?" she said, reaching out to me but i pulled away, making sure she didn't grab my wrists. "you never talk to us." "because you won't understand now leave me alone!" i shouted. the entire room looked at me and i felt all the blood rush to my head. jj's eyes pooled with tears and i felt emily's eyes on me. "i'm going home," i muttered- feeling the overwhelming need for my own bed. i picked up my bag and left for the stairs, not bothering with the elevator. i didn't turn off my computer, or pack away my table.  i just needed to get out.

i'd had my fix but left the bathroom floor a mess. i had no energy to clean up, not right now. i crawled into my bed, grabbed my blanket and curled into a protective ball- ready to sleep all the negative thoughts away. my arms stung but it was okay. i was okay. i'll be okay.

JJ and i walked into y/n's house, using our spare key. we'd knocked on the door, on the window and tried calling her too and there was no answer. the house was silent, eerily silent. my hand instinctively went to my belt and i headed up the stairs, JJ on my tail. i went into the bedroom and paused, seeing her asleep in her bed. JJ saw the bathroom light on, hearing the fan. she headed over and pushed open the door. i watched as she froze. staring into the bloody bathroom. her entire body began to tremble as she dropped to her knees. i rushed to her side. "baby," i whispered, grabbing her. i knew what she was thinking, i knew what she was remembering. she saw me and looked towards the bed, body shaking and eyes filling with tears. "is- is she-" she asked and i shook my head. i went over and sat beside y/n on the bed. "sweetheart," i mumbled, shaking her shoulders. she was hurting, so, so bad and i felt terrible knowing she thought she couldn't talk to us. her eyes began to flicker open and she stretched in the bed, looking around her. when she saw us, her eyes grew wide and she whimpered. JJ sighed out in relief before coming to sit beside us on the bed, yet still shaking. none of us said anything for a good few minutes. she lay awake between us on the bed, blinking. i stayed sat up, looking between her and the bathroom and then JJ sighed. she slid off her shoes and curled up behind y/n, spooning her- holding her as close as she could. i watched the relief on y/n's face and i knew she was scared. i grabbed her hand, caressing the back of it and then slowly moved the duvet off her arms. i got out of bed and headed towards the bathroom cupboard, grabbing her first aid box. i returned to the bed and she left me do what i needed to do, JJ holding her close, occasionally kissing her head and cuddling into her neck. once her arm was done, she handed me her other one which made me smile a little, she wanted me here, to help her.

JJ stayed with y/n whilst i went in to clean the bathroom. i shut the door behind me, not wanting her to see it.

after about twenty minutes, i returned from the bathroom and saw them both still laying there, cuddling. "i want waffles," y/n mumbled, looking at me with her puppy eyes. i couldn't help but laugh, JJ did too. that caused y/n to pout. "please." "we'll get you waffles baby," i whispered softly. i crawled under the covers with them, grabbing the tv remote. she moved up the bed and i noticed the bloody sheets. we're gonna have to sort that out. y/n sat up and moved to sit between my legs, in her usual spot. JJ then curled up next hs both, putting her head on my shoulder. i kissed her forehead and squeezed her thigh, offering my support. y/n looked small, curled in my arms, head on my chest. "waffles please," she whispered, sending me looking at her. JJ chuckled and pulled out her phone to order waffles.

for the rest of the night, the three of us ate waffles, watched romcoms and shared sweet kisses. it was a bittersweet night. not many words were shared but that was okay, we didn't leave her side. i took her for a bath whilst JJ cleaned up her bedroom up, changing her bedding etc. i saw more scars all over her arms and legs now and i knew it would break JJ to see them. i knew she'd see them eventually but not yet, not right now. "i love you," i whispered in y/n's ear as she snuggled into me, letting the water sit around us. "i love you," she replied. "i'm sorry," she said too, after a few more moments. i kissed her cheek. "we're here for you, don't push us away."
