Silent Scream | Spencer Reid + Reader

Chapter Eight

Spencer had not left Y/N's side in the days following her hospitalisation. He stayed watchful, caring after her with unwavering affection and ensuring her comfort and well-being.

He was with her every waking moment, holding her hand, calming her worries and promising her that everything would be okay. His gaze never left her side as he watched her chest rise and fall with each breath.

Despite the trials and challenges they faced, they were grateful for one another. Y/N knew that she was lucky to have Spencer by her side, to have someone who cared for her so deeply. And Spencer, well, he couldn't imagine being anywhere else.

JJ and Morgan visited Y/N frequently during her stay, bringing flowers and gifts to lift her spirits. They too were amazed by the bond between Spencer and Y/N. They had never seen him so invested in someone before, and it was clear to them that he would do anything to protect and care for her.

As the day of Y/N's discharge approached, Spencer couldn't help but feel a mixture of relief and anxiety. He was happy that she was finally well enough to go home, but he was worried about how she would cope. However, he knew that he would be there for her every step of the way and that together, they could face anything.

After several days in the hospital, Y/N was eventually discharged. Spencer had always stood at her side, never leaving her alone. He aided her in getting ready and packing her belongings, making sure everything was in order before they left.

As they walked out of the hospital, Y/N was leaning on Spencer for support, still exhausted by the incident. Her heart was beating with worry as they approached the exit, not knowing what to expect.

When they headed outside, they saw JJ, Morgan, and Garcia waiting for them. JJ hurried forward, wrapping a loving arm around Y/N, tears running down her cheeks. Morgan and Garcia followed suit, showering embraces and well-wishes on Y/N.

Garcia held out a basket filled with snacks, telling Y/N that they were for her and Spencer to enjoy on the ride home. Morgan lent against the SUV he was driving, a warm smile on his face as he looked at the two.

Spencer helped Y/N into the car, making sure she was comfortable before getting into the driver's seat. He reached over and took her hand, giving it a reassuring squeeze as they drove away from the hospital. They may have gone through a traumatic experience, but they had each other and their friends to support them.

Garcia brought out a basket full of food, informing Y/N that they were for her and Spencer to enjoy on the journey home. Morgan rested against his SUV, a warm smile on his lips as he looked at the two.

Once they arrived at Spencer's apartment, Y/N took a deep breath, feeling her anxiety rising. It was the first time she had been back since her kidnapping, and she couldn't help but feel a sense of unease. Spencer noticed her discomfort and placed a reassuring hand on her shoulder.

"It's okay," he said softly, "I'm here with you. We'll take it one step at a time."

Y/N nodded, grateful for his presence. With Spencer's help, she made her way inside the apartment, taking slow and steady steps. The place felt familiar and yet foreign at the same time, and she couldn't help but feel a shiver run down her spine.

JJ, Morgan, and Garcia followed closely behind, carrying the basket of snacks and some bags of groceries they had picked up for Y/N and Spencer. They had all been waiting for them outside the hospital, eager to help in any way they could.

Once they were inside, Spencer guided Y/N to the couch and helped her sit down. JJ and Garcia started unpacking the snacks and groceries, while Morgan offered to make some tea for everyone.
