   Summary

   “wanting someone to treat you badly because at least they'll treat you at all”
   — Phoebe Bridgers

   JJ thought to herself, "maybe meeting Will was the start of something good."

   In an abusive relationship with no way out, JJ doesn't know if she'll get out of this alive. Emily can see that something is wrong with JJ, but from her years of being a profiler she thinks that she's just being paranoid and spiraling. JJ would tell her if something was going on. Right?
