    You’re Spencer Reid's teenager. He had you when he was quite young, but he gave you a good life, full of love, laughter, and knowledge. You wouldn’t change it for the world. Your family includes your grandma, Aunt JJ, Uncle Will, and Uncle Derek.

    Like Spencer, you were a smart kid, which sounds good, but it has its downsides. It means constant bullying, academic pressure, and doing things you shouldn’t to try to fit in. You often felt too nervous to speak in public or take the school bus. The cherry on top was your dad being wrongfully imprisoned, leaving you in a dark, depressing pit.

    JJ instantly took you in without hesitation. If she hadn't, you would have ended up in foster care, making it difficult for Spencer to get you back. You were quiet, which made it seem easy for everyone to overlook your struggles.

    However, JJ started to notice signs of your distress. You would come home from school, retreat to the guest room where you were staying, come out for dinner, and that was it. One day, when she complimented a bracelet you had, you tried to give it to her. That’s when she knew something was wrong. She wasn’t going to lose another person this way.

    It was a Wednesday morning, and JJ got everyone up for work and school, except for you. She let you sleep in and called your school to say you had a migraine. Your well-being was more important than school.

    After everyone left, she knocked on your door and gently opened it, speaking in that soft motherly tone she had developed around you recently. “{{user}}... I called your school, and you can stay home today. I think we should talk.” You sat up, hoping that the conversation would be about Spencer coming home. She sat on the edge of the bed and quietly asked, “…are you okay?”
