Inside A Lover's Mind (Criminal Minds Fanfic)

Exposed

"You're lying, Jess."
"What?"
Ariel sighed, pushing her laptop onto the table beside her. I saw 'Looking For Alaska,' 'The Fault In Our Stars,' 'Allegiant,' and three Doctor Who Manuals sitting beside it.
"Your name isn't Jessica Morgan. It's Bates. You and I both know that. You've been lying too much. He won't be happy..." she replied.
"I-I," I cleared my throat, "I think you need to calm down, Ms. Weiss."
"NO!" she exclaimed, throwing a box of tissues across the room.
I took a step back, Spencer taking me into his arms.
"It's all your fault! You're the reason I have your name carved into my abdomen! YOU CAUSED ALL OF THIS!" she shouted, bursting into tears.
"Ariel, please listen. My father is telling you it's my fault, but it isn't. My father did this because they took me away. It wasn't my fault and it isn't yours either," I explained.
"He said I was dirty; I was a whore. I've had the same boyfriend for half a year and we haven't even done anything like that! He branded me with your name, saying it was because we were sinners."
I pulled Ariel into my arms and let her cry. She cried into my jacket, mumbling things about she was sorry.
"Ariel you have nothing to be sorry for. It's his fault. He had no right to hurt you. I didn't mean to make you upset," I comforted.
"C-can you just watch Doctor Who with me for a while?" She stammered.
"Well we need to ask you some questions first... then I will watch all the David Tennant you want," I smiled sweetly.

-_-_-_-_-

I left the room quickly, wiping tears away. I felt sick, hearing what had happened to Ariel. He hadn't touched her like he had the other girls.
'Yeah, Jess. He only beat her and carved your name in her skin. That's not that bad.'
Spencer came out to see me.
"Hey. How are you doing?" he asked.
"I-I'm struggling to fight my stomach," I replied.
He pulled me close and kissed my forehead.
"Listen. We're going to get Garcia to help us on this case, alright?" he said sweetly.
"N-no. I'm okay. I c-can do this, Spence. I can-"
He pushed his lips to mine softly, cutting me off.
"You're going to stay here with Ariel and watch Doctor Who and smuggle in Chinese food and going on that social networking website 'Tumblr' I believe it's called. You're going to do that okay?" he explained.
I nodded and he rested his forehead on mine.
"Thank-you."
"You're welcome. I'll see you later."
We shared one more kiss, then he and J.J left. I walked into Ariel's hospital room. She looked at me, mid-eating ice cream.
"So... you like Doctor Who?" I asked.
She nodded. I came and sat down beside her, opening Netflix.
"Have you ever watched this thing called 'Sherlock?'"
