Hey guys,so I am really sorry about the humungous delay in the posting of this chapter but I've been dealing with a bunch of stuff lately and unfortunately writing wasn't something I could do. But,I'm back:) This chapter is really short and a bit rough and I'm sorry! But,hopefully now that stuff has been sorted out,I'll be writing longer and much better chapters. I'm hoping to start posting at least a chapter a week but maybe more. Thanks for understanding and sticking with this story! Things are about to get serious!

Brooke woke up disoriented. She looked around and realized she wasn't in her own room and that was when she remembered she was at Hotch's,Spencer was worse,and practically the entire school hated her.

She was just about to roll over and go back to sleep when there was a quiet knock at the door and then Garcia stuck her head in, "Hey sweet cheeks,you awake?"

Brooke nodded and Garcia stepped in, "Can I come sit for a minute?"

"Sure."

Garcia made her way over to Brooke's bed and sat down beside the girl. She was surprised when Brooke curled up next to her right away, "Wanna talk about it?" she asked softly.

Brooke wasn't sure if she should or not. This wasn't exactly something she could tell because no one knew about the parties,except Morgan, "It's nothing,I'm just worried about Spencer is all."

"Is that really all it is?"

"Yeah."

"You know you can tell me anything,right?No judgements what so ever."

Brooke smiled and pulled away, "I know."

"Alright,well you know where to find me if you need me and I'm just a phone call away."

"Thanks,Garcia."

"No problem,sweetie. You want supper?Or are you still not feeling well?"

"I think I'm just going to go back to sleep."

Garcia stood up and kissed the top of Brooke's head, "Sleep well,little Reid."

"Thanks," Brooke said as she burrowed herself under the covers and closed her eyes,promptly falling back to sleep.

"She doing okay?" Morgan asked as Garcia came back downstairs.

"She's fine,just worn out I think."

Hotch re-entered from the kitchen and slipped his phone back into his pocket, "That was the hospital,there's been no change in Reid's condition."

JJ looked up worriedly but got a reassuring squeeze from Emily who was seated beside her, "Don't worry Jay,no news...well no change is good news."

"I guess..."

Garcia hugged JJ one more time, "It's going to be okay. I need to head out though and get some stuff done. Hotch,if you need a break from Brooke-give me a call."

"Sounds good. Thanks," Hotch said as he followed Garcia to the door.

"I should go too," Rossi said as he stood up followed by everyone else.

"Thanks for everything today,guys," Hotch told his guests as they left.

Brooke woke up and turned on her phone. She expected it to be filled with messages but instead there was nothing. Brooke was surprised. Maybe Christina was over the whole thing. She was just about to text her when her phone beeped with a message from Christina, 'To scared to come to school today?'

Brooke hesitated before answering, 'No,problems with my brother.'

'Right,well...see u tmrw:)'

It obviously wasn't over.

"Hotch?" Brooke said quietly,not wanting to startle the older man.

"Hey,you're awake," Hotch said,turning around.

"Yeah. Mind if I join you?"

"Of course not,I can change the channel if you'd like."

"Nah,it's fine."

Brooke walked over and sat on the opposite end of the couch,not saying anything.

It was the most relaxed she had been in awhile but tomorrow all of that would change.
