The conversion chapter 3
A/N: I know the last chapter was a little 'Jesus lite' but considering how I made the first chapter so 'criminal minds lite' I think I did the right thing. So on with the story; 'Lisa has just been 'assaulted' by Derek Morgan and now has just seen Strauss, here is the continuation of my story.'
Lisa ran into her room after the meeting with Strauss, but that was not the reason she was crying, in fact Strauss has congratulated her on her recent engagement to Dr. Reid, no the thing she was crying about was so much worse and as she wrestled with herself as what to do, tell everyone in the team or keep it to herself and let herself go crazy, she only knew of one person who could help her:
'Jesus, I need you, I need you right now.' As soon as she cried out those words Jesus appeared and put His arms around her, pulling her close and letting her cry.
'I know, I know, I know all your inward struggles, but we won't talk about that right now, you need Me to comfort you.' She cried until she was spent and then she looked up at Jesus.
'I just don't understand why, I have tried, I am getting to work on time and sober I don't know why he wants to hurt me so much! I can't forgive him, he may just have ruined my relationship with Spencer and I can't understand why he would do it!!!! IT'S NOT FAIR!!!!!'
Jesus just stared at her and then said, 'I did nothing wrong, I didn't sin at all, yet I was dragged through the streets, beaten, spat on , insulted and finally nailed to a cross, do you think that is fair?'
Lisa stared at her feet ashamed that she had even said any of that in front of Jesus, 'No.'
'And on top of that,' Jesus continued, 'I was up on that cross dying for the very people who insulted me and banged in the nails and I forgave them, so too must you forgive Derek.' He looked at Lisa like it was non-negotiable, but she felt justified.
'I can't forgive him, what happens to me if I can't forgive him?'
'Then I can't forgive you! If you want me to forgive you, you MUST forgive Derek!' Jesus' face was set.
'Ok, when I see him next I'll forgive him. So I guess this means I have to keep what he did to me a secret, doesn't it?'
'Actually, no, I said forgive, not be a doormat, what if he does that with someone else? I think you should tell someone, your fiancée perhaps?'
'I think if I tell him, he might leave me, I can't let this happen, although there is someone else I could confide in!'
'You should do that, right now.'
'Right now?'
'Yes you've been in my Presence all night, don't worry I shall honour you in the day, I shall give you the stamina, and the strength to do all that is require of you.' Jesus smiled and Lisa left.
Next day in work Lisa went up to the tech room, having avoided both Spencer and Derek, not willing to look Derek in the eye for fear of setting him off again, and said hello to Garcia.
'I have something I need to tell you, and I hope you don't hate me for it, but I was alone in the elevator, with Derek, and he did something...'
'Oh my gosh, you cheated on Spencer? With Derek? What is wrong with you?! Are you back on the sauce?!'
'No I..'
'Because I have heard some stupid things in my time but this one take the prize!'
'Garcia...'
'I don't know why you would throw away what you would have with Spencer when you don't even like Derek and another thing...'
'HE RAPED ME!'
'Lisa, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have jumped to conclusions, I was wrong, are you going to tell Spencer?'
'Do you think I should? I mean it could be the end of us as a couple, forever!' Tears started to form in Lisa's eyes, she tried to blink them back but that just seemed to make them fall even faster so she gave up trying to hold them back and let them fall, Garcia hugged Lisa and let her cry on her shoulder. Just then the phone rang, Garcia answered, 'Hey, hey, the supreme genius knows all ask away.'
'Hey Garcia, I was just wondering, since I seen Lisa disappear into your office, could you put her on, I need to talk with her.' Came Spencer's voice and Lisa froze.
'Hey Spence, I haven't see you at all today.' Lisa answered trying not to let her voice break.
'Save it!' Came Spencer's harsh reply, 'Morgan told me about your little 'elevator incident' yesterday, so save it yeah!'
'But you don't understand, I didn't...'
'Get it through your thick skull, I heard ALL about it! Did you think I would be kept in the dark it was my best friend, you moron! The wedding is off, I can't be with someone I don't trust!' then came the dialling tone, signalling end of conversation.
Back down in the headquarters bullpen, she tried to avoid the stares of Morgan and Reid, and made her way to Hotch's office, as he opened his door to head out she tried to speak to him but he just told her to save it till after the briefing, she didn't want to see Spencer or Derek but see them she must, and she knew what she was going to say.
As Lisa walked in all eyes were on her and not all of them friendly, she sat at the left hand side of Morgan, and whispered in his ear: 'I'll talk to you after the briefing.' Spencer looked at her with such malice in his eyes, but she didn't care, she'd promised Jesus something and she was going to keep it.'
In time the briefing ended and she seen Derek in the corridor, 'look I know you raped me and that you are trying to break up me and Spencer, but I just want to say this, I forgive you.' Derek looked at her as if she just stepped off a spaceship, then looked down at his feet and finally walked away.
It was then that Spencer ran up and came nose to nose in front of Lisa, 'I can't believe you would treat me like that!'
'Like what?'
'Like I mean nothing to you, like I'm not important, like you don't like me!'
'Don't be silly, of course I like you, of course you're important, and you mean everything to me!'
'So why sleep with Morgan?'
'I didn't!'
'So what did happen? Huh? Please do enlighten me!'
'He raped me!' Lisa's tears started again, Spencer looked at her, then came to his senses and took her in his arms and held her tight, as Lisa buried her face into his chest she knew she was alright!
A/N: I really need to write more chapters, cause I now know where this is going. Please R&R
