September 2009

You stayed in hospital while you healed, mainly because of your broken jaw, your surgeon wanted to keep an eye on it to make sure it was healing properly because if it didn't you'd be fucked for life!

You had an agent guarding you at all times, and Olivia frequently stayed with you, however, after a lot of insisting you made her go back to school. 

And so for the rest of your time in hospital, you lay there in your room, staring up at the ceiling, with your guard, keeping any unwanted visitors out.

Not that you felt like doing anything fun, you couldn't even have a conversation because you couldn't talk.

The team visited with every chance that they had, and Spencer often slept in the chair next to your bed overnight so that you weren't alone.

I think Spencer felt a certain degree of guilt about everything, although he could have never comprehended how bad your situation was, he had his suspicions and he believed he should've helped you sooner.

Of course, there was little he could have done, while you were with Taylor you were took scared to leave him, or even open up about what was happening to you.

Spencer always seemed the most concerned, perhaps the others shared the same amount of concern but learnt to hide it. Where as Spencer sometimes had trouble masking.

He felt uneasy about everything surrounding you, he didn't like how after your breakdown, you expressed little to no emotion.

To add you definitely weren't sleeping, and you were losing a lot of weight, although that might've been because you were living off a liquid diet. 

Much to your relief after 6 weeks, your wires were removed and you were finally discharged to go home... Whatever home was now.

"Maybe, you don't want to live with another man, and I'd completely understand if that's the case, but if not, then I have a spare room in my apartment, and plenty of space for you." Spencer suggested.
"It's truly ok if you don't want to, don't feel inclined to if you're not ok with it."

You stared at him blankly while you weighed your options. On the one hand the idea of escaping the wrath of one man to then go live with another man for the third time seemed like the worst idea in the world.

However, on the other hand, you weren't going to go live with a stranger, Spencer was your friend, he was submissive, and the likeliness that he'd hurt you was low.

Besides you really needed a friend right now...

Your other options were going to live with Penelope and sleep on her couch. Or sleep on Emily's couch. Live with JJ, Will and her 1 year old baby, live with Hotch and his son Jack, or live with Rossi which didn't appeal, considering he once hinted he had casual sex with multiple older women.
