All These New Beauty Marks

Chapter 8

I stand in my office after my moment with read when Hotch opens the door.

"We have a case." He says and leaves quickly. When I enter the briefing room we are explained the case of 3 missing teenagers in Ohio.

I enter the jet and see Spencer already sitting at a table alone. I sit beside him and smile. He looks at me and when he catches my eye he looks back down. "Hey Spence." I say. He smiles at me and keeps practising whatever card thing he is doing. After a few minutes of silence he says something.

"It was only once right?" He says. It takes me a minute to process what he is asking. Once I figure it out I do not knoe how to respond. So I don't. "JJ?" He prompts me to speak.

"No-I mean, yes- I mean its-its complicated." I stutter on every word.

"Jayje!" He whisper yells.  I look behind me on the plain to see Emily reading and everyone else sound asleep.

"We are not having this converstation right now." I say.

"Oh yeah." He says. He lightly taps my rips. I shoot up in pain and gasp. "Because... I dont think I am giving you a choice. I sigh and stand up walking to the bathroom. He follows me which is expected. "JJ do not walk away I am trying to help." He says.

"Well guess what." I whisper yell. "It is way too late for that." I whisper shout again. "He has already destroyed me."

"Let me see." He said almost crying.

"Spence you don't wa-"

"Let. Me. See." He said again. He starts to unbutton my shirt in a completely non sexual way. I stand there feeling to weak to object. I stand there and the most I can bear is the struggle of not crying. Each button undone reveals a new bruise. It shows a new place he decided to hit me or throw someting at me or push me. Beauty marks made by him, covering my whole body, row on row. He gasps which each bruise he reveals. He finally opens my shirt all the way to reveal my skinny, broken torso. "Jayje I..." He says speachless. He slightly touches my left bottom rib in disbelief. He starts to remove my shirt the rest of the way. I flinch. "Sorry I'll stop I just wanted to make sure you don't have internal bleeding.

"No its fine..." I say. "Just hurts."

"Sorry. I'll be more carefull." He slowly takes it off and sets it on the counter. "I promise I won't hurt you I just need to see." He says. I nod. I trust  Spencer with everything. Even my body, bruised or not. He kisses my forehead and gives me a hug.

"I know you probably have to tell Hotch or something-" I begin to say.

"No I don't." He says. "I can help you." He says.

"Okay." I say. He gives me one last forehead kiss and leaves the  bathroom. I get dressed and walk back out. Sitting beside Spence and leaning my head against him. He reaches up and plays with my hair.

I am half asleep when I hear someone walk by. It's Morgan and he starts to tease Reid.

"Hey pretty boy got himself a-" I feel Spencer shake his head and Morgan stops dead in his sentence. Reid must've given him a pretty serious look. Its kinda cute that he is trying to protect me.

Once we arrive in Ohio Morgan, Garcia(who came with us to work from the hotel), Reid, and I all head to the Hotel. While Rossi, Hotch and Emily head to the police station.
We all check into our seperate rooms. I change into a crop top and shorts to let my bruises and most importantly, cuts breathe. I start pouring some of the mini bar wine into a glass when I hear a knock at my door. I open ot and slightly peek my head through. Its Spence smiling at me. I am about to open the door when I realize I am dressed to purposely let my bruises breathe. He saw alot but its much worse now. I have no makeup and ny legs are now fully exposed.

"Spence if I let you in you can't freak out." I say cautiously.

"I won't" he says. I open the door and close it as soon as he walks in. I see a shocked expression for a split second but he pretends he doesn't see it when he sees I am watching him. "Jayje... there is a reason I came here." He says.

"Okay.. what." I ask. What could he possibly want.

"I just wanted to be here for you because I know you are hurting and I just wanna make you... not hurt. If that's possible." He says in his sincere voice. The kind where he loses any awkward Spence charm and stares you straight in the eye. I don't know why but this finally makes me break and I begin to sob. I think I took him by surprise. He lays down on the couch with his back propped up and gestures for me to sit. I do. He takes my body and props my head up against his chest so he is looking down at me. He leans down and kisses ny forehead and I fall asleep. Later in the night at around 2am I wake up still in Spencers arms. He looks asleep so I sit up. I get off the couch and walk to my actual bed. I lay down and try to fall asleep.

About ten minutes later I hear Spence get up. I continue to try falling asleep, assuming Spence will either just fall back asleep or let himself out. I hear him walk closer to the bed. He leans down to me and whispers "Goodnight Jennifer." He then ever so slightly touches his lips to my forehead. As he begins to pull away I reach up around his neck and pull him back down to me. This time though, his lips connecting with mine. He kisses me back harder and deeper until pulling away. "I thought you were asleep." He smiles. I move over in the bed and he lies down beside me and completely encases me in his arms. Finally, for the first time in almost a month. I finally feel safe.

A/N: ayeee 1080 words is pretty good and I love this chapter so much. It was prompted by the fact Jeid is actually happening in the show
Also I need JJ fanfics to read and I need an idea for another story
