Chapter 10

Confrontations

A/N: ahhhh, we're her the big number 10! Ha ha ha, so sorry it's taking me such a long time to upload but anyway: enjoy

"Ok teams, let get some rest, back here at eight." Jacob said as everyone began to get up

"Hey Reid, can I talk to you?" Morgan said "alone." He added when he saw that some other people were slowing down.

"Ok?" Spencer at back down and waited until everyone had left

"So, what do you want to talk about?" Spencer asked him

"I saw you in the parking lot at lunchtime."

"Oh... that... err did you see who I was with?"

"No..." Morgan paused as Reid sighed in relief "but I have a pretty good guess."

"Who?"

"Lexi."

"And what makes you guess that?"

Morgan raised his eyebrows "you were in a room with eight FBI profilers. Did you think that someone wouldn't notice?"

"Well... err... more of hoped actually..."

Morgan was tempted to laugh at that "you hoped that in a room of profilers that no-one would notice that you were sleeping with another member of the team?"

"I'm not sleeping with her!" Reid said indignantly

Morgan raised his eyebrows in disbelief

Seeing this Reid nearly yelled "I'm serious!"

"Dude, you two are practically screaming 'I'm getting laid'"

"No, we're not! Come on Derek, I haven't even known her for two days!"

"Fine, I believe you."

"Thank you! Will you get off my back now?"

"No."

"What?" Reid asked in disbelief

"There's more to Lexi that you know."

"I know that! But who doesn't have secrets?"

"Did Lexi say that to you?"

"Yes." Reid paused as Morgan's eyebrows shot up, again. "Why should you know anything about Lexi? Or care?"

"I care because you're like a brother to me."

"Why should you know anything about Lexi, you met her the same time as me."

"What do you know about her?"

"More than you!" Reid retorted and stormed out

Morgan sighed as Rossi came into the room

"What was that about?" he asked Morgan

"Nothing."

"It didn't look like nothing; we haven't seen Reid that angry since... well ever."

"Don't."

"I'm guessing you confronted him about Lexi?"

"You saw it too?"

"I don't think anyone didn't. They were trying too hard to hide it." Rossi laughed

"Yeah... look I don't wanna talk about it."

"Ok. We're leaving soon though, you might wanna hurry up."

"I'll see you back at my house. And don't worry about Morgan." Lexi reached up to hug Spencer

"I can't help but worry. He said things, things that maybe he shouldn't have said." He looked into the distance

"Don't worry. It couldn't have been that bad." She let go of him "I'll see you back at my house." She put on her helmet and walked out.

'One new e-mail'

Where are you? I'm lost

Spencer x

Lexi smiled, she thought she was going to get a message like this soon enough

Try first floor, door at the end of the main corridor

Lexi x

'One new message'

Ok

Lexi laughed

"What room is this?" he said opening the door

"My chill out room." Lexi said getting up and hugging Spencer

"You have a chill out room." Reid asked in disbelief

"The room wasn't being used for anything else. So I put a TV in here."

"What are you watching?"

"Honey, you heard of it? Premier was on 24 November 2003, Jessica Alba?" she waited "nothing?"

"Can't say I've seen it."

"Well, you probably wouldn't have, it's one of those dance movies."

"Oh, so you're into movies like that?"

"Yeah, when I was little I wanted to be a professional dancer."

"What made you become a profiler?"

"I don't really know." She slumped onto the sofa "I grew up I guess, realised that my chances were slim and decided to do something different. I still dance though, sometimes."

Spencer smiled, and sat down next to her as she restarted the movie.

When it had finished Lexi looked at her watch

"Oh! It's past one! We really should get some sleep." She looked at Spencer, he was already fast asleep. She smiled; it would be a pity of someone woke him,

"Didn't you just love that ending!" she said right into his ear

"Whoa! Wait? What...?" dazed and disoriented he looked wildly round the room "oh yeah, the ending was... yeah... really good."

"You didn't see it did you?"

"Well... no." He confessed "I fell asleep after she put down the deposit for that commercial property."

She sighed, "It's past one. Go get some sleep." She ushered him out of the room.

"Bye." She kissed him

"Bye." And he left the room.

Lexi waited then began to make her way to her own room, to get some sleep. But Meredith might be waiting there, to hear all the details between her and Spencer. No, Meredith shouldn't be there, not if she had any common sense a normal person would have gone to sleep by now.

She opened the door to her room slowly, hoping that Meredith wasn't there. Lexi sighed with relief, she wasn't. Meredith did have some common sense after all. Lexi was only awake enough to change into her pyjamas, and she fell asleep before her head even hit the pillow

They were circling each other wondering who was going to make the first move. Who was going to strike first? It was him. He started it. He lunged at her, grabbing her by her t-shirt

"I'm sorry." He said as he thrust his knee into her stomach, she doubled over as he loosened his grip. Panting heavily, she'd just had all her breath knocked out of her; she began to make the next move. This went on for several minutes, tentative fighting, only making one move at a time, then he got bolder, began hitting her twice instead of just once, so she retaliated. Then the fight became quicker, faster more furious. Until he got her hands around her throat.

He squeezed cutting off her air supply and at that moment, she knew that he was going to kill her; she knew that she was going to die, and it scared her. She didn't want to die, she wanted to go home. She began seeing spots, so this is what dying is like, no white gates, no angels, just... nothing. That what scared her the most, was it just nothing? Was nothing all she was going to get? She fell to the floor seeing nothing, hearing nothing.

He put his foot on her chest

"I'm really sorry." He said and he pushed down with his foot

Lexi woke up, almost screaming, damned nightmares. She looked at her clock

04:00

Three hours, fantastic. She sighed and got out of bed. She might as well head to the library. She didn't bother to turn on the light's she had her torch

When she got there she saw that someone was already there

"Spencer?" she guessed,

They turned around

"No." He answered

"Derek, I knew this was going to happen."

A/N: well I hope you liked it, sorry it's taking me forever to update but my family is still over and my cousin keeps taking my laptop :-(

But anyways, what do you think Lexi meant when she said that she knew this was going to happen? What does she think is going to happen? Guess by reviewing pleeeeeeaaaasssseeee
