Hunted

Failing

Spencer Reid, stood in front of the small mirror in the motel room as he made sure he looked suitable for the day, he had a blue buttoned shirt tucked into black jeans, with his black converses and a red sweater.

His hair was brushed and hung lightly around his head, while he had shaved the stubble that had been forming.

Even though it was incredibly hot out, he liked to keep his body hidden at least until the bruises left, everything single time he saw them it was reminder of how much of a horrible person he was.

Grabbing the phone off the bench, he sauntered out of the motel room, feeling his heart tighten when he saw her walking towards her car, her eyes met his, and even from far away the electric jolt that was sent through him left him frozen.

He watched as she suddenly changed her attitude from walking calmly to practically storming to the car, slamming the door as she went in and he felt his stomach churn, this was going to be one long ride.

Walking quickly to the car, he slid into the front seat, refusing to make eye contact with her. JJ started the engine and drove it to the other side where Morgan and Rossi got into the two back seats.

They all said there hellos, before the car fell under that awkward silence again and Reid could feel Morgan's questioning glare staring right at him, and he knew he was in trouble.

As they drove in silence, Reid found the volume knob and turned it up, hoping to find some sort of distraction.

He instantly regretted it when the song I Will Wait came blaring through car, he couldn't help but glance at JJ whose eyes were hardened as she stared directly at the road, he heard Morgan stifle a laugh and he just wanted to shoot him.

By the time they arrived at the station, JJ hadn't said a single word she just strode past them and walked straight into the office, not even bothering to look back.

Rossi followed and as Reid did he felt Morgan tug on his shoulder, a smile playing at his lips, Reid thought he knew what was coming next but what came out of Morgan's mouth completely shocked him.

"You slept with her didn't you" Spencer looked up at him, shocked at such an accusation "no".

"I didn't " he grumbled before pushing past Morgan his cheeks flushing.

But when he saw her standing her, her face unreadable the humiliation he had just felt, he had caused that pain.
