What the hell was she thinking? How would she ever forgive herself if she let Will die there? And JJ probably wouldn't forgive her either. "I'm not gonna leave you." Emily told Will as he kept telling her to get out of there. "Just give me a minute."

"Just about all you got." Will said, looking at the timer marking 1:46.

Emily exhaled. She engaged her brain at full speed. "Ok, everything they did and said was about them."

"Narcissists." Will said.

"Romantics." Emily corrected. "They met in 2008." She said as she dial the numbers on the phone attached to the bomb. 2 TRIES LEFT. The words popped up on the screen.

"Oh. What are you doing?" Will said, gasping. "Seriously Emily, go." She looked at his desperate eyes and shook her head. "Go!" He repeated. She couldn't do it. As hard as it was on her, she knew JJ would be a wreck if he died. She would try to save him, even if it meant she'd die there with him. That would be a very twisted and tragic ending for a romance novel, if she made it out of there alive, she'd think about writing a book.

"Okay, hold on. C-H-A-D. 2-4-2-3" Emily tried again, clicking the numbers on the phone. 1 TRY LEFT. "Oh, damn it!" She exhaled. "Okay, there are valentines for her so… a four letter word… love, life, soul…"

"Izzy…" Will panted. "Her name is Izzy."

It was worth the shot. Emily clicked on the number corresponding to each letter. The screen turned green and the timer stopped. They sighed with relief. But then, a smaller box opened automatically revealing a new timer inside. 30 seconds.

"Oh God!" Emily exclaimed.

"Prentiss, what's your status? Prentiss, do you copy?" She heard Hotch's voice on her ear piece. She took it off, ignoring Hotch. She needed to concentrate.

"The storytelling is in the details." She thought out loud. "Those wires mean something."

"Like what?" Will said, distressed.

"The colors of the flag of Chad. Red, yellow and blue. Only one is different from the U.S. flag: Yellow." They had least than 5 seconds. Emily took the risk. It wouldn't make a difference if her deduction was wrong. She cut the yellow wire. The timer stopped. They both released the breaths they were holding. Emily sat back, calming her heart rate down.

"How did you do that?" Will asked, breathless.

"I didn't overthink it." Emily replied.

Emily was sitting in a bench, outside of the hospital she had taken Will to, with Morgan and Hotch. And they'd been waiting for JJ and Rossi to meet them there. Morgan had informed her that JJ was already there, but she didn't see her before the blonde went inside to see Will. So she waited outside, alone, watching the little ants going on their peaceful and busy lives.

"Em…" A familiar voice said, behind her. The brunette got up from the bench and turned in the direction of the sound. There she was, JJ, with puffy eyes and looking like she could take a nap.

"Hey" Emily said back.

JJ walked to her, wrapping her arms tightly around her neck. "Thank you." The blonde said, not louder than a whisper. "You could have died there. You both could. And yet you risked your life to save him." Emily felt two warm tears wetting her shirt.

"I had a feeling I could do it." Emily said with a chuckle.

JJ stepped back, now wrapping her arms around herself. She looked into Emily's eyes for a second, and then to the floor, where her foot started drawing a semi-circle in the gravel.

The blonde took a deep breath. "Emily I…"

"I know" Emily said, nodding her head whilst looking into the blue sky.

"I love him…" JJ finished, looking back at Emily, watching her reaction.

"I know." The older woman repeated, blinking away the tears that threatened to fall.

"I'm sorry, Em. I'm sorry that this happened between us."

Emily chuckled lightly. "I'm not." She was just sorry that it wouldn't keep happening.

JJ lowered her head again. She stood silent for a second, before she restarted talking. "I never meant to hurt anyone…" The brunette nodded and silence settled once again. JJ sighed, "I- I'm going to marry him."

That Emily wasn't expecting. She took her eyes out of the sky and gazed at JJ, surprised.

"Wow. That's…. I'm not sure what you're expecting me to tell you now, Jayje." Emily said sincerely.

"Nothing." JJ replied, reaching for Emily's hand and grabbing it gently. "I just wanted you to know from me." The blonde exhaled. "Emily, it was never my intention to hurt your feelings…"

Emily shook her head. "It's okay, JJ, I get it." She felt like her whole world was about to explode, but she knew this was it. And as harsh as it was going to be, Emily knew she had to move on.

"I'm going to accept Easter's job offer and move to London." Emily said.

JJ was already guessing that. And she knew she was the major reason why Emily had decided to leave. "I'm... We're gonna miss you." JJ said, a tear falling down her face as she gently squeezed Emily's had.

It was JJ's wedding day. Emily was in a corner, away from all the excitement of the night, drink in hand. She watched Hotch coming to talk to her. She forced a smile.

"How are you?" He asked.

Emily exhaled.

"That bad?" He asked again. "Do you wanna talk about it?"

The brunette nodded. "Absolutely. But not today."

"First thing tomorrow" Hotch said.

"It's a date." She chuckled.

She was going to miss them. Miss her. But this was the best for her. She had to believe that.

THE END

A/N: So there we go. I know. This is not an happy ending. And you'll probably kill me now in the reviews. But the whole reason why I started this story was to tell the reason I made up for Emily leaving the show, when it happened.
I thought about saying that in the beggining, not to drive you with false hopes, but I never liked knowing the end of a book before reading it all. So, I didn't.
Anyway's I want to know what you have to say in the reviews, so please, don't forget to leave one.

P.S: Oh, and now that we know Paget Brewster is coming back for episode 200, maybe I'll do a small sequel to this. If I feel like it :P
