Spencer Reid shut the door to his apartment, locked the door, and turned around, pressing his back against the door. He slid down until he was crouching on the floor.
He had survived JJ's wedding – the wedding of the woman he loved to another man - without letting his feelings show. But now he couldn't help it. The tears began to fall as he loosened his tie.

I've had this song "Broken" by Lifehouse stuck in my head since Monday. My theory is that if I write the story that came with the song into my brain, it might go away for a little while.
