Hey everyone, here is the next chapter for you all. I hope you enjoy this chapter. I am super nervous about this chapter because we go to a dark place and it will get explored in the next few chapters. I really want to know what you think. There are conditions where people attack when they are asleep. I'll let you get to it and I hope you like the chapter.
Thank you so much for all the reviews, you're absolutely wonderful. Thank you!
Enjoy and please review
All mistakes are my own
Luna walked downstairs, it was three in the morning and Spencer had still not come to bed. She walked into the living room and found him sleeping on the couch. It had now been a few days since the incident in bed. He had made up excuses for not coming to bed. He was staying at his garage to finish rebuilding or restore a car or he was going to Morgan's house. She hated this. He was afraid of hurting her and it was affecting the perfect life they had built for themselves. She went to the couch and decided not to wake him up. Grabbing a blanket, she covered him up and took off his shoes. She wanted things to go back to how they were before the nightmare, before guilt had forced him away from her.
Reid walked into the bedroom and went to a grab a pillow from the closet. He was going to sleep on the couch again. Penny was already in bed and asleep for the night. He went to walk out of the bedroom when Luna closed the door as she walked in. "We need to sort this out, Spencer."
"I'm going to sleep on the couch. We'll talk tomorrow."
"No," she snapped. "I want to fix this now. I love you and I know you would never hurt me. You couldn't control yourself. Please, I want you to come back to bed. I miss you being next to me."
"I refuse to hurt you again," Reid argued as he threw the pillow to the ground. "What are you going to do if it happens again?"
"It won't," she said.
"You can't possibly know that. What if I did something worse than that? Something that would make me lose you forever."
"Like what?" she asked.
"There are studies about this, Luna. Nightmares can leak into reality and my nightmares are pretty fucked up. Husbands have raped their wives before in their sleep and had not memory of it after. I don't want that to happen. How are you going to feel if that happens? I love you and I don't want to lose you. I don't want to become like Jason or that fucker from the warehouse. I won't force you down and hurt you. I'll kill myself before that happens."
Luna slapped him around the face before stepping away from him. "Don't you ever say that!" she yelled at him. "Don't ever say you would kill yourself! We have a beautiful baby girl together and she loves you. I love you too. I can look after myself in bed and we can do things to try to stop the nightmares. There is medication and other things."
Reid put his hand to his face and rubbed his cheek. Luna stepped forward and took his hand away, she kissed his cheek and started crying. "I'm sorry, I just got angry. I'm so sorry baby."
"It's okay," he said. He wrapped his arms around her and held her. "I just don't want to hurt you the way I got hurt."
"I don't want to lose you. No matter what happens you would never lose me. I know you love me and that you would never hurt me intentionally."
He came away from her and kissed her forehead. She put her hands in his hair and pushed him against the wardrobe, she kissed him passionately and began taking off his shirt. Reid kissed her back and helped her get the shirt off him. He picked her up and laid her on the bed. "I want you now," she said before kissing him again. Reid moved her further up the bed and kissed down her neck. She moaned as kissed her stomach. He removed her shirt to show her bra. He stopped himself from going any further. He got off her and remembered what she had said. He was rough sometimes.
"Spencer, what are you doing?" she said as she got up.
"I don't want to hurt you. You said I was rough in bed."
Luna got off the bed and touched his cheek. "Do you want me to try taking control?"
Reid thought about what Morgan had said a few days earlier. He nodded and took a deep breath. "Just take it slow."
"I will, I promise," she said gently.
Two months later
Luna laid in bed, Spencer next to her. He was taking medication to try to help with the nightmares. So far, there had only been a few occurences over the last two months. She was sleeping peacefully when she felt a weight on top of her. She woke up and tried to turn around but couldn't.
"Show you how it feels!" Spencer yelled from above her.
"Spencer, it's Luna. Wake up!" she shouted as he rolled her over and pinned her down on her back.
Reid woke up the next morning and found Luna wasn't next to him. He slowly got out of bed and brushed his hand through his hair. "Luna!"
"I'm in the kitchen," she called.
He made his way to the kitchen and saw her making breakfast. She was wearing a long-sleeved top and some pyjama bottoms. He found it strange she was wearing a long-sleeved shirt. She never wore them. She turned around and he saw a bruise on the edge of her chin, it was small but Reid recognised what kind it was. He had worn the same bruises after Jason had muffled his screams.
"What did I do?" he asked. "Oh god, what did I do?"
Luna put down the plate she was holding and walked over to him. "It's okay, Spencer. I know it wasn't you."
Reid felt tears burn his eyes, he moved up her sleeve and saw bruising there. "How far did it go?"
Luna stayed silent and put her sleeve back down. "All the way."
"No!" he said as he stepped back and hit the wall. He slid down to the floor and curled his knees up. Luna knelt next to him and put her hand on his shoulder.
"Spencer, it doesn't matter. I'm okay. I know it wasn't you."
"It was though," he cried. "I raped you. Oh god! What did I do? I'm so sorry. I don't understand. The medication was working, it has for the last two months. I'm sorry. I'm a monster. How bad did I hurt you? Don't lie to me."
"I-It was a little scary. You didn't stop and you didn't wake up. Kept telling me that I would know how it felt. It only lasted about three minutes."
Luna watched as he raced out of the kitchen. She got up and raced after him. "Spencer!"
She caught a glimpse of him as he raced out of the door with his jacket, shoes and keys.
"Mama," Penny said from behind her. Her daughter had stopped playing in her room. "Mama!"
Luna picked her daughter up into her arms, she rested her on her hip and grabbed her cellphone with her free hand. She dialled Garcia's number.
Morgan raced towards the beach. Garcia had tracked Reid's car and Morgan had gone after him. He saw Reid's car parked and look down at the beach. He saw Reid on the beach with a cigarette in his mouth. He rushed down to him.
"Reid, it's Morgan."
"Go away," Reid said simply before taking a drag of the cigarette.
"Luna told us what happened. I'm not leaving you alone."
Reid's hand shook and he took another drag. He shook his head and looked up at Morgan. "I'm just like Jason. I'm like them both."
Morgan sat next to him and put his arm around him. Reid began to cry.
"No, you're not. It's okay."
