Hey everyone, here is the next chapter for you all. I hope you all enjoy this chapter. A major step for Morgan and Reid will happen in the next chapter but they won't rush into anything. Reid's been in this abusive relationship, he won't go and do anything major till he's ready to but I promise not to drag it out. I've wanted to do a certain moment in this chapter for a long time and I loved writing it. We also see just how bad things have been for Reid when it comes to relationships before Martin. Enjoy and I look forward to hearing from you all.
Oh and remember that Harry was Reid's boyfriend before Martin.
Thank you so much for all the reviews and I'm honored that you read my stories and review them, you're wonderful and I love you all. Thank you!
Enjoy and please review

Morgan finished the chapter of the book that Reid had given to him, he was enjoying it so far. As he went to put the book down, he heard a loud sob come from Reid's room, he rushed into the room to find Reid gripping the duvet over him and turning in the bed. He climbed on the bed behind Reid and put his arms around him, keeping him from struggling any further. Morgan had done this when he stayed over to help Garcia look after Reid. He hated seeing his best trapped in an endless cycle of nightmares.
"Calm down," he whispered in Reid's ear. "It's Morgan. Reid, he's dead. Martin is dead and he can never hurt you again. The man in the bathroom can't hurt you either. Just sleep, kid."
Reid stopped struggling in his arms and after a few twitches, he felt Reid's body relax and lean against him. He stayed there for ten minutes to make sure that he stayed asleep. He left the bedroom and hoped that Reid stayed asleep for a while. He rubbed a hand over his face and sighed. Martin had done damage that he wasn't sure the team could reverse, he was grown man and he had never gotten over what Buford had done to him. Reid had experience eight months of constant abuse where he had experienced degradation and pain that none of them could ever fully understand, not even himself.
He went to Garcia's bedroom and knocked on the door. "Come in," Garcia's voice called.
"Why aren't you asleep?" he asked.
"I heard him," Garcia bit her lip. "Thank you for getting him back to sleep."
"I have an idea," he proposed as he sat on the edge of her bed. "Can you track down Martin's car?"
"Why?"
"Reid needs to get out everything inside of him and I want him to do that. Please, help me find it."
"Your wish is my command."

Reid let his mind wander as he slept, he didn't dream of Martin this time, he dreamed about Harry. He dreamt of the moment he lost him.
Walking to his apartment, he unlocked the door, walked in and placed his bag on the hook, he heard a noise from the bedroom and looked at his watch. He knew he was back early from the recent BAU case but he knew Harry wasn't supposed to come home till six. He walked to the bedroom and opened the door. He stopped and felt a stabbing pain through his heart at the sight in front of him.
"Oh shit," Harry cursed from the bed. Reid left the room and stormed into the living room. He watched Harry come out of the bedroom with a robe around him. "Spencer, please, I can explain everything."
"What are you going to explain?" Reid snapped as he began to get upset. "You told me about him and you said you didn't have feelings for him anymore. I come home and you're having sex with him."
"It just happened," Harry tried to defend. "We met up and started talking, one thing led to another and I brought him back here. Please, I didn't want you to know."
"You wanted to have an affair behind my back," Reid cried as he felt his heart beginning to tear. "I believed you when you said you loved me and I said that I loved you too. I guess that meant nothing to you but it meant everything to me. I give you everything and you go and break my heart!"
"Spencer, I do love you," Harry said.
"You don't cheat on the one you love! I'm going to leave and I expect you out of my apartment and out of my life within the next two hours. You want to share someones bed, share that bastard's bed. I don't want to see you ever again!"
"Spencer, baby, please don't do this. I do love you, let me try to fix this."
"There is nothing to fix, I don't want to spend the rest of my life with someone who wants to cheat on me with his ex boyfriend. I deserve someone who'll love just me and no-one else. You have two hours to pack your things and get the hell out my life. This was your one chance to prove that you truly loved me and I don't give seconds chances to those who want to play with my heart. Goodbye, Harry. I hope he makes you happy."
He opened his eyes and found Morgan shaking him. "What?" he moaned as he pulled up the duvet.
"Kid, I am taking you somewhere and we are going to get some things out. We're going to try put a stop to these nightmares, or at least make them less frequent."
"I don't want to get out of bed," Reid sighed before placing his head against the pillow again.
"Spencer Reid, I'm bigger than you and I will carry you out of this bed and get Garcia to dress you. Trust me, I'll do it."
Reid followed Morgan into his garage, Garcia had her hands over his eyes but he could tell where they were going. They came to a stop and she removed her hands from over his eyes. He began to shake as he took in the sight of Martin's car. "Why is that here?" he gasped as he stepped away from it.
"Hey, take it easy," Garcia said as she put her arm around him, only for Reid to shrug out of her hug and shake his head.
"I thought you two wanted to help me. Why would you bring me near this thing? You have no idea what he did to me inside this car or how much I suffered so he could keep the damn thing. The first time he raped me was in the back of that car. I want to go."
Morgan walked forward with a metal bar and held it up for Reid. "Take this, kid."
"Why?"
"Reid, this car holds so many bad memories for you. He raped you in the backseat and I know he did it again a few times after that. He sold you out to men so he could improve this car. He loved it more than he would ever love you. He proclaimed to love you but he never truly did. I know you loved him in the beginning, before everything got bad and he broke your heart when he turned against you. I want you to take this metal bar and smash this car. I need you to let out all your anger."
"I can't," Reid shook his head as he stepped into the corner. Morgan recognised the fear in his eyes, Reid was still scared of damaging the car because a part of him still believed punishment was just around the corner.
Garcia put down her bag and grabbed the pole from Morgan. "Okay, I'll go first."
"Garcia, don't!" Reid yelled but Garcia had already brought the pole back, she brought it down and smashed one of the headlights. She stepped back and looked at Reid. "Sweetie, he won't hurt you ever again. Martin is dead, you're free of him and you're going to take this pole and go to town on this car. Trust me, it feels good and I imagine that it will feel a lot better for you. Just let it out."
Reid stepped forward and took the pole from Garcia's hand. It shook slightly in his hands as he stood in front of the car. Morgan stepped back and pulled Garcia back with him.
"You son of a bitch!" Reid yelled before bringing the metal pole up and smashing it down on the windscreen, he continued to bring it down on the car, smashing the bodywork, the headlights and other various parts. He dropped the pole and opened the hood to show the engine.
He pulled out the wires and anything he could get his hands on. "You hurt me," he cried in anger as he pulled at the wires. "You made me beg and cry and bleed to make you happy. I hate you! I hate you!"
He ran over to the work unit and grabbed a few screwdrivers, he knelt and stabbed the first screwdriver into one of the tyres. He repeated the process with the other tyres. He grabbed the pole again and finally smashed the backlights of the car. He walked to the front of the car and dropped to his knees, the pole hitting the floor and glass crunching beneath it.
Morgan stepped forward and came down next to Reid, he brought Reid close to him and held him as he cried. "I got you."
"Why can't I be happy?" Reid cried.
"You'll be happy," Morgan promised in a gentle voice. Deep down, Morgan knew he wanted to be the person that made him happy, in more ways than friendship. "I'll make you happy, kid."
