Chapter Eight

It didn't take long for Hotch to get to Reid's small apartment. The older gentleman was shaking, he was scared of what might happen to his teammate most of all his friend. While on the way he dialed 911, he didn't want to be delayed. 

Surprisingly he got there before the first responders. So he didn't even bother knocking on the door and just broke it down. He searched around the living room to find him and he was nowhere to be found. He went to his room and found him on the ground beside his bed, foam coming out of his mouth and an empty vile sitting beside him with a needle. Hotch knew what happened. He knew that Reid had OD. 

Soon after he arrived so did the paramedics. They took him to the hospital and Hotch was just left there sitting on the floor where his friend once was. He didn't know that Reid was using again, he thought that he was clean, that he was free from that. Hotch started to think that, that might have been the thing that he told Morgan in that elevator. This was probably the thing that he so badly wanted to keep to himself. 

He hated that he didn't know that something was up. He knew that Reid was dragging today but he didn't think that it was because of drugs, he thought it was just about sleep. 

But he didn't let anything else get in his way before he called his team. 

He quickly sent a text to the group chat and told them to meet him at the hospital. He didn't really explain why though. He didn't want them freaking out on their way to the hospital. 

He quickly made his way back to his car and quickly went straight to the hospital.

Hotch arrived at the hospital to see most of the team all standing there awaiting his arrival. They were all confused, they didn't know why they were there, they knew that no one had gotten hurt on a mission, plus they got back from one almost two days ago so it's not like they have been on one since. 

So the first to come up and say something was Emily, "Why are we here?" It was a simple question, but it would take forever to answer. He really didn't want to answer that question till the whole team was there and that meant that they were waiting on Morgan. Or Hotch knew he was only waiting for Morgan. 

But right as he was thinking that Derek came walking straight through the door. "Can someone tell me what's going on? Wheres Reid?" Derek asks as he approached the group. 

So Hotch took in a deep breath and spoke, "You guys are here because Reid is in the hospital..." Hotch stated with a sad tone in his voice. You could see some of the members of the team's eyes go wide as they heard the statement. 

"what are you talking about I was just with him?" Morgan said as he didn't want to believe what Hotch was saying. No, he just didn't want to believe that the man that he loved was lying in a hospital bed. 

That's when JJ spoke up ignoring Dereks last statement, "Why is he in the hospital? Was he shot or something?" JJ asked the question that everyone was dying to know. 

Hotch let out yet another sigh and said, "He Overdosed." You could see the color on everyone's face leave. But you could see that this affected Derek the most. He did say that he had just seen Reid. So you could only imagine how hard Derek is taking it. And in his mind, he was only thinking, if only he had stayed longer, kept an eye on him, make sure that he was okay.

He should have known that something was going on when he said that he wasn't feeling good, He should have known that he has been lying. He should have known he was in pain and needed help. He knew that he was still addicted to the drug, he also knew that he took some the day before. He should have known that he was going to try again, should have known that it wasn't safe to leave him alone in a house with nothing but his thoughts. Should have known that it was no good leaving him by himself. 

The team could see how messed up this made Morgan, so they quickly asked, "Hey Derek you okay?" it was the soft voice of Emily asking if anything was wrong. 

A tear could be seen falling down Derek's face, "No I should have stayed with him, we just got back from a date and now he is in a hospital bed. I knew that he was still using too, I should have known to say with him..."You could hear Morgan slowly breaking down, blaming himself that Reid is in a hospital bed. Morgan took in a deep breath trying to calm himself down. 

"That's what you guys were doing?" You could see a small smile come upon Derek's face as he started to cheer up just thinking of how lucky he got to go on a date with Reid. Morgan let out a small chuckle and said, "Yea I'm kinda happy that we were able to go out." 

"It's about time that you two got it on!" Garcia said as she let a smile come over her face. She was happy that her best friend had finally had the guts to ask out the boy that he liked. She was also happy that Reid actually said yes and they finally went on a date. She has been dying for this moment for as long as they could remember. 

That's when a doctor walked up to the group, "I suspect that you guys are family or friends of Spencer Reid?" He asked as he held up a clipboard of everything on Reid. Hotch nodded his head and the Doctor continued, "Well it seems that Spencer is in a stable condition, you guys are able to see him whenever. However I do suggest getting him checked into a rehab center, It would do him some good." He said before leaving the team to think about that. 

So they went down the hall and into Reid's room, it could be seen that the man was sleeping. This only helped calm Morgan down more, helped him see that he was in a stable condition, to see that he was no longer in pain and was in peaceful sleep. 

Morgan sat down on the chair that was beside the bed, while the rest of the team just stood around waiting for the youngest member of their team to wake up. 

Morgan held onto Reid's hand, he knew it was supposed to a comforting manner for Reid, to tell him that people are here with him and to tell him that he is not alone, but Morgan was doing it for himself to remind him that there was nothing to worry about, that Red was alive and right in front of him.
