So I wasn't very happy with how this originally was so I made some changes. Enjoy!

JJ sat on the couch, her eyes fixed on absolutely nothing. She just stared out the window. Her mind miles away from where she was. The sun hasn't risen yet, the moon still hung in the sky. Darkness filled the room; as well as her head.
{flashback}
"You were with him again weren't you?" JJ sighed.
"Will how many times do I have to tell you, I'm NOT cheating on you!"
His hand struck her across the face, he laughed,"How stupid do you think I am to fall for that? I know what you been up to you little whore!" His voice rose. His patients growing thinner by the second. She felt his hand strike her again. She fell to the ground. He grabbed her arm and pushed her up the stairs to the bedroom.
{end of flashback}
These memories haunted her. A different one daily. She had enough of those painful memories to supply her for life. He may have been locked up, but she still had this constant fear that he'd come back. Finish his job, take her for himself. She took a deep breath. She was too lost in thought to hear the faint footsteps approaching her. She felt a hand on her shoulder. Fear immediate ran through her, panic setting in as she jumped with a huge gasp of air. She was ready to scream when all she saw was a tall figure.
"Woah hey JJ it's me!"
She saw his hands raise up in defense. His familiar voice calming her.
"Spence?" She asked as she took heavy breaths.
He stepped closer, his arms going down beth slowly,"It's okay it's me. I didn't mean to scare I just.."
She didn't let him finish. She went straight into his arms and held him tight. He didn't wait to wrap his arms around her and keep her close. She felt her breathing deeply. He pet her head soothingly while the other hand rested on her back.
"I got worried when you weren't in bed." He said softly before kissing her head.
He backed away slightly to see her face, he cupped her face with both hands while her arms remained wrapped around his waist.
"Nightmares?"
She nodded sadly. His heart broke. He leaned down and hugged her.
"It's only a dream," he whispered in her ear,"you're safe now. I'm not gonna let anything happen to you."
He hated seeing her like this. Of course over the coarse of time she'd gotten much better. They moved into a house together to have a fresh start, they were getting married soon. It's been almost a year since it all happen, and she was getting better. Nightmares aren't as frequent, and she's smiling a lot more, she's happier. But she still had those moments, those days when it all washes over her again. And when those times came, he didn't wanna be anywhere except at her side to protect her.
They sat down on the couch. He'd grabbed her favorite blanket and wrapped it around her. He turned the tv on and they sat together in silence. She'd fallen asleep, her head in his lap. He was gently stroking her hair, it always kept her calm, evidently so calm she'd fall asleep.
An hour pasted before he felt her stirring. He looked down and watched her eyes open slowly. She blinked rapidly as her eyes adjusted to the light that the sun, that had started to rise, began to pour into the room.
"Hey." He offered a smile. She returned a similar smile and sat up.
"You okay?" He asked.
"You ask me that too much." She said softly.
"I think that's a genius thing."
She exhaled a laugh,"seriously?"
He smiled,"No. I judged wanted to see that beautiful smile." He confessed quietly. She smiled bigger, making his grow.
"There it is." He whispered as he stroked her long blond waves. She leaned closer to him."Thank you." She whispered. His brows furrowed in confusion."For what?"
"For just being you."
She shrugged,"I don't really wanna be anyone else." His arms wrapping tightly around her waist, pulled them closer.
"Neither do I." She smiled before kissing him quickly. After that she stood. He grew sad watching her leave,"What really? You-you're gonna leave?" He asked grabbing her hand.
She chuckled,"Spence we have work." He pulled her closer.
"Yeah in like 3 hours." He said pulling her back down onto the couch.
She sighed,"I should really get ready." She stood back up.
He smirked,"Well, you do take like 2 hours in the bathroom."
Her eyes went wide and she laughed,"I do not!" She defended.
"You're right it's more like 3 and a half." He said standing up and following her as she walked into the bedroom.
She grabbed a pillow and threw it at him. He laughed as he tried to dodge it, but failed.
"You throw like a girl." He taunted. He turned around as he placed the pillow on the bed.
"News flash genius I am a girl. And I wouldn't talk anyway."
"Please I can take you." He smirked as he walked towards her. Her eyebrows rose.
"Oh really?" She questions as his hands came to her. He stepped closer, his hands going to her shoulders. He leaned down, his lips just about to touch hers. Their lips grazed as his hands moved down to her waist.
"Is this your way of taking me?" She questioned with a whisper as her eyes closed. With that he gave her side a light squeeze. He started to tickle her more as she laughed. They dropped onto the bed. He was carful not to crush her body under his.
"Spencer come on!" She laughed. He laughed and pinned her arms down onto the bed.
"Still think I can't take you?" He smirked.
She smiled and turned them so she over over him, she straddled him and pinned his arms down.
"I do."
He nodded,"So do I." He leaned up and stole a kiss,"I just wanted to make you laugh."
She grinned, releasing his arms. His hands came up to push her hair out of her face and behind her ears. "I love you." She said gently.
"I love you too." He smiled as she stood. "Even if you do throw like a girl." He called as she left the room.
"Don't start." He heard, making him laugh.
