--------------------------------------------

Hotch, Morgan, Garcia, JJ, Prentiss and I were all sitting in the conference room waiting for Spencer. We were about to start talking about a case but Spencer hadn't come in yet. I'm starting to get worried, we all tried calling him like 10 times and he won't answer our texts.

Hotch sighs, "We can brief him on the plane,"

JJ and Garcia explain the case and we all say our thoughts and ideas.

"Wheels up in thirty" Hotch says

Everyone gets their files together and starts heading out of the room.

I catch up to Hotch, "I'm gonna get Reid before we leave. Maybe he just slept in or something."

I threw my go bag into my car before getting in and driving to Spencer's apartment building. Once I got there, I parked my car and headed up to his apartment.

I knocked but he didn't answer. I knocked again and still no answer.

"Spence? You in there?" I ask through the door.

I get no answer so I use the key he gave me and let myself in. I look around his apartment while calling his name.

I walk into his bedroom and see him sitting on the floor with his back to me. I peek around him to see what he's doing, only to see him with a needle in his arm.

"Spencer!"

I immediately remove the needle from his arm and toss it across the room. I sit down and wrap my arms around him from behind, caging his arms in. He struggled in my grasp, desperately trying to escape.

"Spence, calm down."

He still tried getting out of my grip.

"Relax, it's okay."

He slowly calmed down and started crying. I released him before moving in front of him and pulling him into a proper hug. He wrapped his arms around me as he sobbed into my shoulder. A few minutes go by and Hotch calls me.

I answer, "Y/l/n."

"Where are you? We are going to take off soon." Hotch speaks

I look down and see Spencer shaking his head, as if telling me not to tell Hotch.

I sigh, "Spencer isn't feeling well, his forehead feels warm. I think he has a fever."

"Okay, how bad is he?"

"Not terrible but we won't be able to take care of himself."

"I can have Garcia look after him."

"It's okay Hotch, I will. I've already been in close contact so it'd be better if I did."

"Okay just stay by your phone in case we need you."

"Will do. Be safe, all of you."

I hung up the phone and stood up. I laid in his bed and had him lay with his head on my chest.

A few minutes passed before I spoke up, "You don't have to tell me anything, I would like it if you did though. I wanna be able to help you but in order to do that, I need to know what's going on."

Spencer hesitated before speaking, "Ever since I was kidnapped by Tobias, I've been using this drug called dilaudid. It's what he gave me while I was held captive."

"Spence, why haven't you told any of us?"

"I don't know. I just, I guess I didn't want to bother you with my problems."

"Bother us? Spence, you coming to us and telling us about your problems or struggles isn't a bother. You should have come to us because we could have tried to help you stay away from this."

"I'm sorry Y/n."

"You don't need to be sorry. Just let me in, let me help you now. You aren't alone, you have me and the team right by your side."

"Okay. I'll let you help. Just please don't tell anyone, not until I'm ready."

"I won't, but we do need to tell Hotch soon. Even if you don't tell anyone else, just tell Hotch."

"I will, soon. Just not yet."

I spent the next few days with Spencer. He opened up to me and told me everything. I was and will always be there, right by his side.
