Thank you so much for everyone's comments and reviews. Like I said this is my first fanfiction and I was really nervous but everyone's been so nice. I will try to update as soon as possible! Hope you enjoy!
"Reid?" Came JJ's gentle voice through the door, "Please we just want to know your alright and listen we are so sorry we had no idea what that phone call was about and had no right to just assume it was part of a prank. What kind of friend am I if I can't even notice that one of my best friends is upset".
Reid listened to JJ behind the door. He was curled up in a tight ball in the toilet of the jet. Spencer had finally calmed down after about half an hour of violently sobbing and the whole time JJ had been standing outside the door trying to comfort him. Rossi, Emily and especially Morgan just sat overwhelmed with guilt. They knew that anything they said to comfort Reid wouldn't do any good so thought it was best to leave JJ to deal with him. Reid finally stood up and composed himself. After rinsing his face and trying his best to hide his bloodshot eyes he finally opened the door knowing he would have to face the inevitable soon enough.
"Spence" JJ breathed taking in his appearance. He looked a wreck and she was determined to find out what the phone call was exactly about; even though she had an idea, "Come here". She said softly and pulled him into a hug. Spencer let JJ hug him and tried to fight the tears which started welling up in his eyes again.
"Sit down Spence and talk to us we are all listening and we are so sorry for not believing you." JJ said. She took hold of his hand and in time managed to coax Reid out of the kitchen area. Reid walked with his head down and sat next to JJ.
"Listen Reid, I understand that the phone call you just received was a hard and very emotional one. You don't need to tell us what it was about if you don't want to but just tell us anything you need and we can do it for you." Came Hotch's stern yet sympathizing voice out of nowhere. Reid still looked down and his hands. He desperately wanted to tell his team, about the phone call but he was so afraid he was going to break down again. After battling with himself for a minute Reid decided the only way he was going to accept the situation was to speak about it. He looked up for the first time and saw Morgan giving a very apologetic look along with Rossi and Prentiss. Although he felt white hot anger lick his insides when he thought about what they just did to him, spencer didn't have the energy to stay angry at them and they had no idea what was going on anyway so he couldn't really stay angry at them as he knew he would probably do the same thing if it was Morgan. He finally decided to find his voice and tell everyone what was going on.
"Uh well um, I answered the phone and it was my mums doctor and at first I thought she was just having an episode b-but he then told me she-she um had an accident." Spencer croaked out realizing his whole team where taking in each word he said.
"If you can't do this you really don't have to Reid" Rossi finally spoke after noticing how upset it was making Spencer.
"It's fine I want to" Reid said in a whisper as his voice seemed to of failed him, "anyway um my mum was having an episode and she somehow got a knife. I don't really know the details but she um stabbed her self and now is in intensive care fighting for her life." Reid couldn't stop the rain from falling, what was just a few silent drops turned into a downpour.
"Oh Reid, come here." Emily said and hugged him whilst he sobbed into her like a crying infant after they've just grazed their knee.
"Reid this jet is going straight to Vegas okay. Once there pick someone to go visit your mum with you and we will sort everything else out okay? We are here for you Reid." Hotch said and all the team members nodded in unison. Reid just made a sound to show he understood. After the jet turned around and headed for Vegas Reid carried on sobbing in Emily's arms. The team tried there best to comfort him but it was no use. Eventually Reid fell into a dreamless sleep from exhaustion. The rest of the team remained silent for the rest of the journey absorbing the chain of events which had just happened and also thinking of a way to fix their broken genius. Everyone knew how much Reid's mum meant to him and they all knew how distraught he'd be if anything were to happen.
