For Me

JJ sat at Spencer's side, she had pulled a chair next to his hospital bed and her hand held his firmly, she was still in the clothes from that day and it had been three days, but she refused to leave his side.

The beeping of the life support machine, made her nestle her head into the fresh sheets that covered his broken body.

She had been by his side, since the day the doctor came out and told the team that he had a brain bleed and he was in coma, he had three days to wake up or they would remove the machine and he would fade slowly and be gone forever and it was already the second day.

Her eyes were always glistening as her hand stayed wrapped around his limp one, she would feel for his pulse occasionally to make sure he was still there with her.

The team had dropped in occasionally, but most of them where to torn up to watch him like this, JJ was to but she wasn't going to leave his side again, she had to many times and he needed her right now.

"Please Spence" she whispered, feeling the tears come one "you have to wake up, for me" she would have this argument whenever she felt the need and that was probably at least one every hour but he would never respond he would just lay there looking asleep, peaceful almost with JJ at his side, her eyes always glistening from all the tears threatening to escape.

Burying her head back down in the covers, JJ sighed, she had so many things she wanted to say but she didn't even know if he was alive, let alone hear her.

She heard the soft padding of footsteps, and looking up she saw Garcia walking into the room her eyes puffy and red, "hey" she said softly, tears running down her cheeks as she saw him laying in the exact same spot as yesterday, and the day before he looked lifeless.

"How is he" she said placing the flowers she held in her hand on his bed stand, "same as yesterday" JJ said shrugging as if it was no big deal but it was.

Garcia let out a sad sigh, before she pulled a chair next to JJ and wrapped her arm around JJ, "he's gotta pull through, he just has to" she said softy as she looked at his lifeless body.

"Shh, I'm sure he will" Garcia said attempting to reassure her, but her fears where just the same "not will, has, Garcia he has to be alive I don't know what I will do without him" JJ said as she gave his hand a squeeze.

It was twelve am, Garcia had left only an hour ago and as JJ remained in the room alone with him, still nothing, he never responded, never flinched not even a little bit just remained still.

"Spence, please you have to wake up. I don't know what I will do without you, I didn't realise it till now but I need you, I can't live without you it physically hurts" she was barely audible, only he could hear her and as she leant forward to brush his forehead with her lips, she felt him flinch, it was bare but it was there.

"Nurse" she shouted, clicking the emergency button, "spence, Spencer wake up" she said caressing his cheek.

"What, what is it" a nurse frantically asked as she came into the room, "he moved" JJ said excitedly as her hand remained holding his.

The nurse sighed "Miss Jareau, I'm sorry but those are common behaviours of someone in a coma."
