All mistakes are my own

Reid stood on the edge of the bridge, the wind blew around him and sent shivers around his body, he looked down and saw his team around an air mat that he knew he could jump down on safely. "Reid, come on, you can do it," Morgan shouted.

"We're right here, Spence," JJ smiled at him. "Don't be afraid."

"Why am I here?" he asked himself.

"Take one step and you can join us, you don't have to let him rule your life anymore. We're right here and we won't let you get hurt. Take the jump and leave him forever."

Reid looked down and trusted his team, he took a deep breath and lifted his foot to jump. As he was about to jump a hand came around his waist and another hand slammed over his mouth, he screamed into the hand as he got dragged off the edge of the bridge and thrown to the ground.

"You're mine forever!" Martin screamed at him. Reid screamed and cried as Martin began to slap and beat him.


"No," Reid wheezed as he bolted up in his bed, he clutched his chest and struggled to control his breathing. He threw the covers off himself and made his way to the kitchen, he walked in and found Garcia and Morgan talking.

"Honey, are you okay?" Garcia asked. "You're sweating like crazy."

"Just a bad dream."

"Anything to do with a bridge?" Morgan spoke up.

Reid looked to his friend with confusion. "How did you know that?"

"We had to go after you last night," Garcia said. "You started sleep walking and even made it out of the apartment building, when we caught up with you and managed to turn you back to the apartment building, you kept muttering about going to a bridge. You needed to get a bridge. Reid, why are you dreaming about a bridge?"

"I don't know," he lied.

"Don't lie to us, kid."

"I don't want to tell you because you'll get angry and then hate me. Just leave it alone," he shook his head before making his way over to the sink and grabbing a glass, he turned on the tap and watched the water fill the glass. He put the glass to his lips and relished the cold feeling of the water as it soothed his dry throat, he pressed the glass to his forehead and enjoyed the cold on his skin. He went to leave the leave the kitchen but Morgan stopped him.

"After everything that I told you, you're going to hide things from us. I can't watch you twenty-four seven and this dream is clearly affecting you, something is weighing on your mind and we need to know. I told you the truth and I know that you trust me. Please, just be honest with me."

Reid looked down at the glass in his hand. "I know what the bridge means," he mumbled.

"What does it mean?"

"Rossi already knows this but I didn't want him to tell you all," Reid began. "Not long before Henry's birthday, I almost killed myself. I went to a bridge not far from here and stood on the ledge, I just couldn't take Martin's abuse anymore and I wanted all the pain to end. The only thing that saved me that night was Henry, he called me to invite him to his birthday party. I got off the bridge and promised him that I'd be there for his birthday. I regret my decision to even think about suicide. I spent eight months being raped and abused to protect the people I love and yet I would have hurt my godson by killing myself and leaving him."

Reid dropped the glass and became frightened as Morgan grabbed his arms. "Why would you think about killing yourself?" Morgan raised his voice.

"I'm sorry," Reid quivered. "I'm so sorry."

Garcia grabbed Morgan's arms. "Morgan, let go! You're scaring him. Look at him."

Morgan looked at Reid's face and frightened body language, he let go and watched as Garcia put her arms around him and pulled him into a hug. "It's okay, baby boy," she soothed.

"Reid, I didn't mean to scare you, I'm really sorry," Morgan apologised quickly. "I understand why you wanted it to end but I don't understand why you didn't come and see one of us the moment you thought about killing yourself. We're always here for you and if you would have come to me back then, I would have killed Martin."

"I was afraid and I thought ending it all was the answer. Everyone would have stayed safe if I had killed myself and the pain would have ended for me. I'll never think like that again but please don't get angry with me. I can't face that right now."

Morgan came forward and hugged him tightly. "I'm not angry with you, you're important to me and I just have trouble coming to terms with what Martin did to you and how bad things got for you."

Reid closed his eyes and couldn't help his mind flashing back to Martin.


He cried as another lash came across his back. "Two more and then we're done with your punishment."

Reid bit into the pillow under his head as his Martin delivered two more lashes to his back with a belt. He shook and took deep breaths as Martin left him on the bed, he had received fifteen lashes with the belt for not being home in time to cook dinner. He stiffened as Martin came back and straddled his hips. Reid was on his stomach and couldn't see what Martin was going to do. A hand came over his mouth and he feared the worst. A horrible muffled scream came from him as Martin poured antiseptic all over his back, he struggled fiercely as the antiseptic crept into his lash wounds.

"Shut up, you little baby," he snapped as he pinned him down to the bed. "Now, are you going to make sure you're home to cook dinner from now?"

He removed his hand from Reid's mouth. "I'll be back in time," he said shakily.


He snapped out of the memory and hugged Morgan closer. "Don't ever hurt me," he begged Morgan.

"I will never hurt you, I promise."


Two weeks later

Reid gently walked into Morgan's room and stayed by the door. They were all staying at Morgan's house while Garcia's apartment got cleaned up and the burst kitchen pipe repaired. Going to the bed, he slid in under the covers and felt safer laying next to Morgan.

"Reid?" Morgan said sleepily.

"I had a nightmare about Martin, I just feel safer here," Reid whispered. Morgan pulled Reid closer and put an arm around him.

"I got you," he sighed before resting his head back against his pillow.


Morgan moved as his dreams moved to something that made his blood rush.

He pushed Reid against the wall and kissed him passionately, he enjoyed the sound of Reid moaning as he removed his belt. Reid was already tugging at his shirt, he came away from the kiss and let Reid take off the t-shirt. In one swift moment, he lifted Reid up and carried him to bedroom. He pressed him down on the bed and kissed his chest while pulling down Reid's trousers and boxers.

"Do you want me?" Morgan asked as he prepared for the next stage.

"I want you," Reid said before biting his lip and pulling Morgan into a kiss.

Morgan pulled Reid closer in his sleepy state and enjoyed to touch of Reid's skin against his own.


Garcia yawned as she made her way up the stairs with a coffee in each of her hands. She went to Reid's room first but didn't find him there, she walked to Morgan's room and felt her heart melt at the sight that greeted her as she walked in. Morgan had his arms around Reid protectively while Reid had snuggled against Morgan's chest.

"My two wonderful men," she smiled before going to the bedside table and putting down the two cups of coffee.

"I smell coffee," Reid sighed as he opened his eyes lazily.

"God, never have I known someone to pick up a coffee scent so quickly."
