Her new roommate must have already known who she was, or at least what she liked. The sight before her was amazing! The walls were a beautiful sky blue with a dark blue feature wall. The sky blue had glitter through it. Sketches of clouds were all over the ceiling with an assortment of hanging decorations. Butterflies, aeroplanes and flowers stuck out everywhere. The flowers were in the corners at the bottom of the walls, whereas the butterflies and aeroplanes where hanging from various places on the roof. It was amazing. Emily and Penelope made their way into the room.

"We were given a list of things our new roommate liked, so we decided to put this together for you. We hope you like it!" Emily said excitedly. It was then when Penelope pulled out décor stickers and picture frames from the wardrobe, JJ went agape. She didn't expect this!

"We thought, as being new roommates, and new friends, we could write our names on the walls with these stickers and put pictures of our new time together, up on your wall." Penelope added.

Emily took JJ's hand and led her to her room. "I have a timeline of my time with all our friends, and soon, your face will be up on here too!" she explained.

It was making sense to her. This group of friends were like a family. The only problem is that she doesn't want to feel like an intruder.

"Are you sure? I mean, I don't want to intrude on anything." JJ said, somewhat afraid of the answer. She didn't quite understand why she was afraid. Maybe because she didn't know what the future could bring. Hell, she barely knew who she was sharing a room with. Sensing JJ's fears, Penelope said; "Aww its ok buttercup! You'll fit in perfectly! I'll make sure of it!" JJ smiled. Yep, this was going to be a great year.
"Oh, and, uh, JJ?" Emily stuttered.
"Yes, Em?"
There it was. A sign that this was definitely going to work. Emily's face grew into a big smile. Penelope noticed that Emily wasn't going to talk after whatever that was, so she continued.
"Your dad sent all of your trophies and awards over last week. So we made this for you to put them in." Penelope slid a plank of wood off of the wall where it was slightly bulging out. All JJ could do was gasp. It was a built in trophy cabinet with glass doors.
"We didn't want to pry, so we left all the trophies in the box for you to put up in the cabinet." Emily finally stated.
"Thank you! I really appreciate it." JJ said as she hugged them both.

Emily and Penelope left JJ standing in her new room. They walked into the dining area when Penelope pulled Emily up and asked, "what was that earlier?" as soon as the look of confusion crossed Emily's face Garcia continued. "The little smile? Remember?"
Emily nodded. "I was thinking that this year would be good. She has settled in nicely and she called me Em. Only my close friends do that. It feels like I have known her for ages." She replied to the all-too bubbly Penelope.

Little did they know that JJ was listening to their conversation, smiling widely.

Sorry about the long wait guys! I will be updating my other stories and maybe even doing a sequel to this Wont Tear Us Apart. Until next time.
