Drabble- Chapter 35
Pain
".......just a short one 2 get me warmed up, so I can start writing saviors Please R&R!"
Spencer Reid gripped his injured leg as a new wave of pain overwhelmed him. The doctors had told him that it would hurt for a while, but they had never said it would hurt this bad. The pain was almost unbearable, and he knew that Hotch and Rossi would send him home if they knew about it.
He tried to ignore it, but it still hurt. He couldn't ignore it. He moaned quietly – hoping no one had heard him. Unfortunately, JJ was walking by at the same time.
"Hey Spence. You okay?" she asked. Reid nodded.
"Yeah....just fine." But how his voice squeaked and how he winced in pain said otherwise. JJ walked up to Reid- frowning.
"Hey, its okay if you want to go home." she whispered. Reid didn't answer,though. He was too distracted trying to hide the tears that were sliding down his eyes.
JJ leaned in closer to Reid. "Spence?'' she said. When he didn't answer her again, she moved his hair away from his face, and saw the tears. "Does it really hurt that bad? I thought the doctors said it wouldn't hurt that much." she frowned.
"Apparently they lied." he choked out. Reid gasped as his legged throbbed and burned- all at the same time. JJ ran her hands through Reid's hair, and pulled him closer to her. She wrapped her arms around him, and let him cry.
"I'm sorry, Spence. Do you want to get some sleep? It's gonna be a few more hours until the team comes in, and the conference room's empty. "
"Actually, that sounds like a good idea. Can.......can you just help me up?" he asked weakly. His voice made it evident that he was still in pain.
"Yeah, of course." With that, JJ helped Reid up awkwardly, and walked up to the conference room. She helped him get settled down on the couch, and pulled a blanket over him. Reid mumbled a thank you, and JJ nodded. She ran her hand threw his hair one last time, and smiled as he closed his eyes.
"Night, Spence." she whispered.......
"...........i know, short and sucky. Please R&R!"
