Hey everyone, here is a new chapter for you. Even I will admit that I think I was a tiny bit harsh with Reid in this.
Thank you for the reviews and adds. You are amazing.
Enjoy and please review
All mistakes are my own
Hotch couldn't help but feel reminded of his son Jack as he sat with Reid in his arms, Hotch used to do rock Jack after he had a nightmare. He could feel Reid trembling in his arms, he hated how upset Reid was. Reid had gone through too much in his life for a man his age, he didn't deserve any of this. Hotch watched as Morgan left the room, he wondered what he was doing but his questioned was answered when Morgan came back in with a few bottle of pills.
"What are those?" Hotch asked as he tried to see what medication Reid had been given.
"His meds. There are some antibiotics and some pain relief, he needs to take them now," Morgan said before he popped open the first bottle and tipped out the correct dosage. Hotch grabbed a bottle of water from Reid's bedside table and unscrewed the cap, he kept his arms around Reid the best he could.
"Hey Reid, you need to take these," Morgan said kindly before he put the medication into Reid's shaking hand. Reid took the pills and put them in his mouth. Hotch handed the water to Reid. Reid was still trembling so much that the bottle shook uncontrollably in his hand. Morgan quickly grabbed the bottom of the bottle and held it steady as Reid's took a few large gulps.
"These are the last one," Morgan said as he handed Reid the second set of pills. Reid took them and drank some more water before he handed the water to Morgan.
"T-Thank you," Reid whispered. Reid found himself feeling sleepy, he was happy as the feeling of pain began to recede back to the dull area of his body.
Hotch noticed Reid start to slump. Hotch got of the bed and put Reid under the covers, he pulled the covers up high and made sure that Reid was warm.
"He is in trouble," Morgan sighed as he knew that Reid was struggling to keep his mind strong. Reid was letting the events of his second kidnapping seep into his dreams.
"I know. We just have to be the people who make sure he is okay. I just hope he hasn't been scarred too deep," Hotch said before he turned away from Reid and walked out of the room.
Reid - Five hours later
Reid was confused as he found himself standing in a graveyard, he looked around and saw his team standing together. Reid walked over to them. It was then he caught what they were saying.
"At least he won't be holding us back anymore, we can finally work without his stupid ramblings," Morgan smiled. Reid felt a pang in his heart as he heard Morgan. Reid didn't know he was like that, he thought the team were okay with the way he talked, the way he functioned.
"Morgan," Reid said. Morgan simply stood there as if he had not heard Reid.
"I know what you mean. He can stop shoving how smart he is in our faces. He really was weak and pathetic. Always wondering if he was going to go crazy. He should have known he has been driving people crazy all his life," Emily said with a venomous tone to her voice.
"Emily, please don't say that!" Reid moaned as he felt himself on the edge of losing it.
"He was probably the reason for his mother going insane. She didn't have schizophrenia, she just couldn't bear to listen to
his any more," Hotch sighed.
"At least he is gone now, I'm safe from him. I won't be hurt again and neither will Kevin," Garcia smiled as if a great
weight had been lifted from her shoulders. She turned to something Reid couldn't see.
"Goodbye Reid, thank you for killing yourself. You did the world a wonderous favour."
Reid stood there is shock at what he was hearing, the team all walked away causing Reid to see what they had been gathered around. They had been gathered round a gravestone, his gravestone.
He wanted to cry when he read the engraving on the stone.
'Here lies Spencer Reid'
'The world better in his death'
Reid gasped as he opened his eyes, he grunted slightly as he shot up from his bed as his ribs protesting the sudden movement. Reid looked around and felt a flood of relief as he realised that it had been a nightmare. Reid rested back down in the bed and let his mind wander over the dream.
'It was just a dream, it was just a dream' Reid kept repeating inside his head.
He had to wonder though if the team did think like that or if the world would be a better place without him. He recalled all the events in his life that had been harmful and caused by him.
He wondered if his parents would have stayed together had he not been born. There would never have been the stress of covering up a murder. His mother would have perhaps been able to stay at home, after all it had been him who had put her Bennington. Gideon could still be with the BAU. Elle might have stayed there.
Reid couldn't help but list everything in his mind. Everyone would have been fine had he not existed.
Reid then wondered about the idea of there being a God. Reid didn't know if there was a God but if there was Reid knew he had made the wrong decision by creating him.
