Box Boy

Spencer Reid x Fem!Reader

Category: Fluff

TW: None

Word Count: 1,191

A/N: This is a little rushed but I just couldn’t get the idea out of my head after I watched an episode where Reid had to carry in a box and didn’t have to do his awkward little wave and smile and it made me so happy that the local PD didn’t look at him weird for it.

----------

You had just touched down in Naperville, Illinois about an hour ago and you and the team were now en route to the local police station for a case. After the turbulent flight, you were taking a moment to rest your eyes. You rode in the passenger seat of the sedan that Rossi was driving, Spencer and Derek in the backseat. Snippets of their conversation filtered in and out of your semi conscious brain. They were bickering back and forth about whether or not they thought the kill was personal based on the overkill on the latest victim. Derek was pointing out that it could likely just be an escalation of our killer unleashing his sadistic side as he continued to up his body count and perfect his signature. Spencer, on the other hand, was also making a convincing case that it was likely that the huge jump from a kill without torture to the description of the death from the Medical Examiner would point more towards a person attachment.

You weren’t too concerned at the moment. As much as the boys wanted to go back and forth with their theories, they both knew that they needed to take in the crime scene before they could make an accurate hypothesis. You were used to them going toe to toe on the way to the station just to kill time. It had unfolded like a sibling rivalry almost, seeing who could predict the most with the least amount of evidence. Derek liked being able to say ‘I told you so’ to Boy Genius and Spencer didn’t mind playing along, as he was usually right.

The rest of the team usually just let them at it until you arrived. Rossi was humming quietly in the driver’s seat, occasionally refuting one of the boys with a piece of information that they forgot from the briefing.

“And we are here,” Rossi said, turning into the parking lot of the station. “Don’t forget to grab the box in the back, it has the possible related case files,” he continued, stepping out of the sedan. You stepped out of the car and stretched out a tiny bit before walking around the car and opening the trunk. You were about to grab the box when Spencer materialized next to you.

“I got it,” he said quickly, reaching for the box.

“Reid, it’s fine, I got it. It’s not that heavy,” you responded, leaning down and lifting the box from the trunk.

“No, Y/N, please. Can I just…?” Spencer trailed off, his eyes pleading silently for you to just give him the box. You sighed, handing it over to him. You knew he wasn’t trying to be hypermasculine in offering to carry the box in but it still ruffled your feathers the wrong way. You were so used to people needing big, strong men to carry things or those big, strong men taking light objects out of your arms because ‘A lady shouldn’t have to carry that’. After Spencer turned around with the box, you rolled your eyes before shutting the trunk. Whatever.

You followed the rest of the team into the station, standing patiently as the Sheriff greeted you all. “Thank you so much for coming so quickly. The time between kills is shortening exponentially and I have residents calling us in a frenzy and we don’t have much information to tell them. Sorry, I’m Sheriff Carter, nice to meet you,” Sheriff Carter said, extending her hand to Hotch, “Unit Chief Agent Hotchner I assume.”

“Yes,” Hotch replied, shaking her hand firmly. “This is the rest of my team, Agent Derek Morgan, Agent David Rossi, Agent Y/F/N Y/L/N, Agent Emily Prentiss, Agent Jennifer Jereau,” each member of the team shook Sheriff Carter’s hand as they were introduced, “and Dr. Spencer Reid,” Hotch finished. You noticed Spencer give Carter a nod of acknowledgement, avoiding the handshake because of the box in his hands.

It finally dawned on you why he took the box. You knew Spencer had his hesitations with skin to skin contact, especially handshakes with people he’d never met before. Too often you watched as the police chief or sheriff looked at him strange as he offered them a small wave instead of meeting their handshake. You realized too that Spencer had taken to walking into a station with an object in his arms as of late. You kicked yourself silently for giving him attitude in the car.

As Carter showed the team where to set up, you followed close on Spencer’s heels. As soon as he set the box down, you tapped his shoulder lightly and nodded your head to the side, asking him to follow you to the empty break room for a second. He looked at you with concern but followed you nonetheless.

You shut the door to the room for his sake before turning to look at him. “You should’ve just told me why you wanted the box, Reid. I wouldn’t have fought you about it.”

He sighed, avoiding your eyes. “It’s weird. I didn’t want to make it a big deal,” he said, shrugging.

“It’s not a big deal. I just feel bad for giving you attitude,” you admitted to him, hoping he picked up on the silent apology. “I know that some people give you a hard time for avoiding the handshakes, it doesn’t help that they still can’t process how someone your age has your credentials either. There’s enough reasons for them to make snap judgements about you based on that alone, if I can prevent them from doing more of that, I want to,” you said. Spencer had finally looked up at you as you said that. “It doesn’t need to be a big deal, I can just make sure you have something to carry during the major introduction.”

Spencer picked at the end of his sweater vest, processing your offer. “Thank you, Y/N. I really appreciate it.” He shot you a small smile and you smiled back, noting how his shoulders had relaxed.

“Now let’s get back out there Box Boy, they need your genius.” You opened the door for him, shooing him back towards the rest of the team before pouring yourself a quick cup of coffee.

When you returned to the table, you caught Hotch giving you a slight side eye. You shook your head slightly, letting him know everything was alright. You’d tell him later. He’d have no problem bringing along a few extra materials, he knew how hard it was for Spencer already.

You took a sip of your coffee before sitting down to the table.

“Prentiss and Morgan, head to the crime scene. Rossi and Y/L/N, go talk to the Medical Examiner. JJ and I will go talk with the latest victim’s family. Reid, start building a geographical profile, let’s see if we can triangulate where he may strike next. Let’s try to be back here by four, okay?” Hotch did a quick glance around as everyone nodded in assent before splitting into their groups.

“You drive?” you asked Rossi.

“As per usual, let’s go.”

I still love Harry Potter - but not JKR

Warning: This gets wordy. I really just rambled and let my thoughts take me where they will. And these are only my personal rambles - they aren’t meant to be a deep political statement or super eloquent or anything. They’ll be messy and meandering and mainly for my own benefit. I just...needed to think. And remember. And feel. You have been warned.

JKR has been in the news a lot lately. And not in a good way. To put it bluntly, she’s basically revealed herself as a TERF and is rightly being called out. It hurts, because Harry Potter made a large impact on my life. But the author has shown herself to be flawed and I had put her on a pedestal for years of my life. I admired her “rags-to-riches” (sorta) story. Her success. Her talent with writing. I wanted to be her in some ways. She was living my life’s dream!

And now she is making hurtful remarks about a marginalized group of people who have done nothing except demand equality and recognition.

I first heard about the books through my mom. She was a substitute teacher at the time, and in the class she was covering, the teacher had just started reading The Sorceror’s Stone. Mom went out and got a copy, read it, and loaned it to me. She also griped about how no one knew how to pronounce the name “Hermione” - the kids she was reading to kept ‘correcting’ her with ‘Hermy-own-knee” as the pronunciation. It drove her nuts. I remember bragging to my friends when I figured out what the Mirror of Erised actually said. I was in junior high - eighth grade. I was reading a kids’ book that wasn’t hugely popular yet, and trying to lure people in. I remember seeing more and more people I knew picking up the books. In high school, when we had free days in band (aka the teacher was sick and the sub didn’t know music), my friends and I would talk Harry Potter. I was giddy when I got my own copies - hardback copies - of the first three books by saving my money and shopping the second-hand bookstores. It’s not that my parents wouldn’t have gotten them for me, but I wanted to buy them for myself. My original, paperback copy of Sorceror’s Stone was battered and tattered and well-loved. Mom kept loaning out our copies to people. Sometimes, they didn’t come back. In that, it was like when she would loan out copies of The Lord of The Rings when I was a kid (which is why there are probably 4 or 5 copies of that in my parents’ house today). She knew the books were special. I put up Harry Potter posters. I glommed onto Hermione as a favorite character - a bookish girl who could still stand up for herself and have great friends? It was everything I had wanted for myself when I was eleven and struggled hard to have. So I adored her. And I shipped Harry/Hermione. Still do, but now days, I prefer just having an OT3 of the Golden Trio and an OT3 of the Silver Trio (or Sub Trio or whatever name the fandom uses now). I sometimes had trouble sleeping and would pop the audiobook of Sorceror’s Stone into my cassette player on those nights. It helped me relax. When the first film came out, my parents and I were there to see it. I was amazed. I remember griping about minor tweaks, like Harry’s eyes (until I read about the contacts issues). Oh, what little I knew of how the books and films would splinter more. But still be fun. Goblet of Fire the book was released 4 days before my 15th birthday. I made the mistake of telling my parents I could hold off on reading my copy until then. After I saw my mom sobbing -for reasons she couldn’t tell me - at the end of the book...I never made that particular error again. When Order of the Phoenix came out, we went to the Barnes and Noble midnight release to get our pre-ordered copies. During the long wait, a guy wandered up and down selling Little Caesar's pizzas. Another guy had visited Wal-Mart, purchased every copy of the book they had, and was selling them for only a couple of bucks over what he’d paid to anyone in line who was desperate for an extra copy. My parents bought one and I spent the rest of the waiting period crouched under a parking lot light, reading, until my parents got the copies we’d actually come for. I lost sleep reading all of the books as they came out. I was always done within a few days, at most. I just couldn’t put them down. I got T-shirts. Bought dolls/pillows/bedding. Got myself a T-shirt, a poster, and Quidditch Through The Ages and Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them when I visited the UK in high school. I saw the latter films at midnight releases with my friends. Half-Blood Prince the book came out during my first summer as a camp counselor. Almost all of us - camper and staff alike - were reading it or talking about it. Spoilers were forbidden but there would still be hushed conversations during bedtime hours or “me-time” after lunch (rest period). Deathly Hallows - both book and film - came out after my mother passed. I got my copy of the book, quietly, at a Kroger at midnight.

Harry Potter got me heavily into fandom. I was there for The Draco Trilogy and Pawn to Queen. My Immortal and The Shoebox Project. Squickfics that made it onto GodAwfulFanfiction and its successor, Why God Why. LiveJournal communities. Fandom wank. And so much more. Reading updates on MuggleNet and The Leaky Cauldron and watching fanvids. Listening to music uploaded from Draco and the Malfoy and other fanbands. Roleplaying communities that were being hosted on Proboards message boards. Countless Sorting quizzes. I made sure to visit Universal Studios on my honeymoon with @lechevaliermalfet and want to go back one day, as only Hogsmeade existed when we went. I also remember how grumpy I was that @lechevaliermalfet had resisted my urging to read the books - he read them after they were recommended by an unlikely source. In hindsight, it makes sense. I was a solid fan. The person who recommended the books was not. I celebrated the release of Cursed Child with my family at a day-long celebration in Naperville, IL. I have a T-shirt to commemorate it, and a wand that I made with the help of my niece. Just this year, @lechevaliermalfet and I did a date night - dinner and the first Potter movie on the big screen.

I’m rambling, I know, but the point is, Harry Potter got me involved. I made online friends and honed writing skills by writing fanfiction. I learned to have a thicker skin because of some of the feedback I got. I made at least one fanvid (I’m reasonably certain it’s been lost to the ether and good riddance). Sure, I participated in other fandoms (especially Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew and Witch Hunter Robin). But this was a fandom I shared with more of my family and friends than any other. And I could even - and did - read it to kids I babysat. Now, I know Harry Potter isn’t perfect. Lord knows, Cursed Child reads like a bad fanfiction, and I have seen those ideas executed in ways that fired up my imagination and emotions more effectively. Repeatedly. Then there’s the issue of worldbuilding. The not-so-great aspects/implications of much of what has come out of Pottermore aside, Harry Potter’s wizarding world has always been a shaky society. Others have touched on this far more eloquently, so I’ll just say that it was interesting that we only had a few token “good” Slytherins - who were still shown to have ambition that overruled their better judgement at times.

I always saw the films as a different interpretation of the same story, so I wouldn’t go nuts over the stuff that was altered, so that stays. They have flaws of their own. Sometimes they exacerbate what is in the books - sometimes not.

I can’t speak to the more recent Fantastic Beasts stuff as I haven’t gotten involved. Maybe eventually. But I never realized that the poor representation in JKR’s world might reflect her worldview more wholly. I honestly figured it was a more innocent ignorance or reluctance to risk upsetting the market at the time. But the more she tweets and posts...the more obvious it is that no, she just really is that biased. I guess, at this point, I’m going to have to follow the Death of the Author route. I used to live for the engagement Rowling had with fans, and the tidbits she’d dole out. Now, I cringe every time I see one. For the books themselves, I think I’m going to have to take the Death of the Author approach from now on. Because JKR cannot take away the positive things Harry Potter gave me and other fans. I won’t let her. And I am grateful that there are Potter cast members stepping up to denounce her. I love Harry Potter. JKR can go jump in a lake.

Adrenaline

“I cannot believe that you’re considering spending $200 on a ticket,” I said.

“I really want to see her.” Cleo shrugged as she stirred the macaroni for our macaroni and cheese on her cooktop.

“I know that you have this obsession with Ariana Grande but $200?” I frowned from where I was sitting on her counter.

I loved Cleo’s apartment. She never turned on her overhead lights. She used twinkle lights and lamps, she even had a lamp that looked like a paper lantern. There was always at least one candle lit in her apartment whenever she was home. She had copious amounts of blankets on her sofa and an excessive amount of pillows on her bed. Cleo loved being comfortable and made it into a decor style. It worked well.

Then there were the posters and photographs on her walls. She had photos of her travels from the time she got her camera when she was sixteen and started travelling the country and the world beyond. She had a large map of the world with pins all over. There was an extra large pin for Chicago because it was her home, and for Thailand, because it was where she fell in love with the world.

I enjoyed being in Cleo’s apartment. The scenes in the photos and the comfort of the decor made it feel exotic and homey at the same time. When I was living here I was stressed about finding a place while somehow, simultaneously being here calmed me down. Whenever we weren’t going out or with the group, I would come here just to spend time in the apartment. Even though my tenure here was brief, s small part of myself still felt at home here.

It could be that it also reminded me of the two of us living together in college, of all the late nights talking and watching television, of the adventures we dreamed and the adventures we made a reality. Cleo and I shared a lot of firsts with each other. Our first failing grades and first time living in an apartment, first time almost setting that apartment on fire, first time learning how to use a fire extinguisher… we learned so much and grew up together. Alone time with Cleo reminded me of that.

“Well, yes. Also, it would be for a date,” she said now. I came back to Earth from inside my thoughts when she said that.

“A date?” I raised my eyebrows.

“Remember the girl from a month ago?” She asked me, looking over as I bit a carrot in half.

“The girl that said she didn't want to see you again after you had a great time?” I clarified.

“That's the one.”

“Wait.” I dropped the carrot that had been in my hand. “You saw her again?” I asked.

“Twice, yeah,” she said sheepishly, knowing I was upset that she hadn't told me sooner.

“What?”

“We met on Tuesday for dinner and on Friday for drinks.”

“So after her saying she didn't want to see you again she just, what? Changed her mind?” I picked up the carrot that had fallen onto the counter and took a bite. I watched Cleo closely as she turned and poured the pasta into the colander in her sink.

“She sent me a text last week saying that yes, she had changed her mind,” Cleo said over her shoulder. She brought the pot back over and began making the cheese sauce. I didn't know whether to say something or wait for her to say something.

“She explained on Friday that she was scared.”

“Scared?”

“Yeah.” Cleo shrugged.

“Of?” I prompted. It was unusual that I was having to prompt her to say anything. Typical Cleo would have already spewed out the whole story, thrown in unnecessary details, said it all and more by now.

“She said she just got out of a long term relationship when we met up last time,” Cleo explained now. “She said that she wasn't ready to open herself up again, especially to someone she could really see herself with, but also that she couldn't stop thinking about me.”

“She said she could see herself with you?” I asked, my voice increasing in pitch. I looked closely and saw that my friend was blushing. It had been a minute since she blushed over a girl like this.

Cleo nodded.

“I don't know, Ruby,” she said. “It just seems kind of effortless with her. She likes the same music and we’ve read the same books. She likes sushi almost as much as I do,” she laughed, “and we haven't even kissed yet. I mean, I really want to, but I'm trying to do it all on her terms.”

“What's her name?”

“Natalia.” Cleo looked absolutely precious, her cheeks still flushed pink and a tiny smile falling to her lips as she said her name.

“Well,” I took a deep breath, “I am up for giving her a second chance.”

“Yeah?” She asked.

“I can see why she would be scared.” I nodded. “You're a catch. That's intimidating as hell.”

“Ruby.”

“Cleo.”

“I mean, I am a catch, but still.”

I laughed.

“Plus I gave Niall a second chance and that is working out well,” I said now.

“Wait, what?”

“It's nothing,” I waved it away. “I didn't realise that our first date was actually our first date so we had to have a second first date. But we're talking about you and Natalia. Tell me everything.”

“I'm so unsurprised that you didn't realise Niall had asked you out. I mean, that's probably the most you thing that's ever happened.” Cleo finished making the cheese sauce and dumped the pasta back into the pot, stirring it all together.

“You and Natalia.” I prodded, ignoring her.

“Fine,” she huffed as she poured equal portions of the mac & cheese into bowls for us. “So, she grew up in Argentina, which is really amazing. She has so many stories about it, Ruby,” she said. “I could listen to her talk about it for ages. Anyway, her family moved to Naperville when she was sixteen and despite having to learn the language and assimilate into the school system, she got into U of I and studied business.”

I was handed my bowl and Cleo jumped up to sit next to me on the counter, her own bowl beside her. I dug in while she kept talking.

“She works as a corporate partnerships coordinator for the Chicago Fire. She says that because she is now fluent in three languages that it helps her so much when it comes to talking to partners on the job, to describing things and sorting out details. She's also just around our age. She turns twenty-seven sometime in October, I think is what she said. She lives out in West Loop, kind of near where Ana and Harry are, but further west than them.”

“She seems really great, Cleo,” I said. “When do I get to meet her?”

“I have no idea,” Cleo said. “But I think you'll really like her.”

“If she keeps making you blush like that, then she'll probably stay in my good graces.”

Cleo laughed and nudged my shoulder with hers.

“Now we’ve just got to get Liam and Louis partnered off and the whole group can be doubled.”

“Louis is married to the bakery,” I said, not in an unkind or negative way. “And I honestly am still trying to figure out how Liam is single.”

“Right?” Cleo asks, her eyes wide as she agrees with me. “He's gorgeous and he's fiercely loyal. Plus, he's a teacher. That's super honourable.”

“You're just saying that to pat your own shoulder because you're also a teacher.” I smirked.

Cleo shrugged.

“Seriously though, do you think it's because of his side hustle that he just hasn't had the time or something?” She asked.

“That could be it,” I admitted. “But I think he and Louis are both happy as they are. Well, I know Louis is. Liam is still a mystery. Maybe it'll change once he's finally in the condo he's been stressing over.”

“He still has to show it to us once he closes on it,” I pointed out. “Not even the Styles’s own their apartment. I wonder if it'll feel different.”

“Probably, just like a different air?” She asked.

“Yeah, it just smells more final or something.” I smiled.

“What does that smell like?”

“Bank loans and adulthood.”

“That sounds about right,” she laughed.

There's a short lull as we each take a bit of our food.

“How are things with you and Niall?”

“We’re really good,” I told her. “When Mehar was here she said that she liked that Niall and I didn't complete each other. That we’re companions.”

“Sounds cheesy, but okay.” Cleo smiled.

“That's what I thought,” I told her. “But, if anything is cheesy tonight it's this mac & cheese.”

“I'm glad I bought the good kind.” Cleo nodded.

“I mean, if I'm gonna splurge on calories, I expect nothing less than the best,” I tell her.

Cleo laughed and we fell into an easy rhythm of asking questions about Natalia and Niall, laughing together, and eating more mac & cheese than either of us would like to admit.

I loved spending time with just Cleo. When we were with the group it was a different dynamic, on that I also loved, but sometimes Cleo and I would say something that even Louis wouldn't understand and we'd share a look.

The two of us have a history. It didn't mean she was a better friend than any of my other friends, but it was our shared history that added to the comfortability that existed between us. They had heard the stories, but Cleo had lived them.

We ended up together on her couch watching YouTube videos and eating a mixture of vegan cookie dough and popcorn. We were snuggled under blankets and my head was on her shoulder.

“Seriously, when do I get to meet Natalia?” I asked in between two videos.

“I'm going to move at her pace, but literally the moment she green lights meeting you guys I will be annoying you so much to come out and get to know her.”

“Are you worried?”

“That she’ll get freaked out and run?” Cleo asked.

I nodded.

“A little,” she admitted, “but I keep thinking about how she came back the first time when she couldn't stop thinking about me. I got under her skin, in a good way. I keep holding onto that.”

“I think that's a good sign,” I agreed. “I like seeing you like this.”

“You've seen me date one person more than once before,” she defended herself.

“Yeah, but it's been a while,” I said. “Your dating app escapades and stories will become no longer, and then where will I seek out entertainment?” I complain. “I'll have to start enjoying books and movies and television again. All of the tales of Cleo will crumble and dissolve into darkness.”

“Shut up.” She pinched my arm, gently. “I'll still have stories.”

“So you say,” I keep on. “But everyone knows that these stories will pale in comparison, will be lacking lustre and life, will be but shadows of their-”

Cleo pushed me off the couch and I ended up on my butt on the floor wedges between it and the coffee table. My words were cut off with an ‘oomph’ when I hit the ground.

“Heyyyy,” I whined.

Cleo was giggling at the sight of me on the floor.

“You're awful.”

“I'm the best,” she said through her giggles.

“Sometime--I don't know when--I will get you back for that.”

“I'm sure you will, Rubes, now get back up here and let's pick a video.”

I crawled back up onto the couch and resumed my position lounging against her, content as we chose another video to view.

I was back in the dream.

I kept telling myself it was the dream. All of this was just me in a dream.

There was no way that I was being followed. The dream had probably just altered after my not having it for so long. I was more than likely still asleep on my couch. I had probably just dreamed that I’d woken up and started over to Niall’s. We were supposed to do dinner together, but it was going to be later because he had to finish the last few notes on a project, which gave me just enough time to go home and nap for twenty minutes before heading over to his.

Clearly, I was still asleep.

But then why had the dream changed since I'd last had it?

This time I knew where I was and I knew where I was going. It was dark like it always was in the dream, but when I pulled my hand from my pocket and looked down, my watch was on my wrist. It was never there in the dream.

I was awake.

I was only a block and a half from Niall’s and the sound of footsteps behind me had sent a chill so cold up my spine I thought I was going to literally freeze into my spot on the sidewalk, feet mid-stride and everything. I didn't though, which was a huge improvement over the original dream.

I looked over my shoulder. It was a man in a dark hoodie, with the hood pulled up. Which was not something I should be worried about. It was misting outside. I hadn’t bothered with my own hood, but I had also already taken my makeup off and put my hair in a bun. The weather wasn’t a worry for me, I was accustomed to it.

Still, the sight of a man with his hood pulled up walking behind me on an otherwise empty and dark street had caused my heart to jump up into my throat. I took a deep breath and pushed it down, telling myself that it was fine, that everything was fine, and that I was worrying over nothing.

I thought through everything Brian had taught me over the past few months. I was in a well-lit area. I had an umbrella I could use if I needed it. I could even probably make it to Niall’s ahead of my follower if I sprinted. I also knew how to handle myself if I was attacked from behind or otherwise. I was strong, physically and mentally.

I swallowed my fear and willed myself to keep walking and not panic. I forced my pulse to slow down as I altered my pace and noticed that the man behind me didn’t bother trying to change his stride. That was a comfort in itself.

I was still freaking out though.

Until I got to Niall’s street and when I turned onto it, the man behind me didn’t. He kept going straight.

I felt myself let out a shaky breath before I hunched over, putting my hands in my knees and pulling in another deep breath. It took me a few moments but I pulled myself together and made it the rest of the way to Niall’s.

It took me a minute to stop shaking so that I could send a text to let him know to come down and get me. During that time, I tried my hardest to pull myself together as best as I could before Niall came out through the front door to greet me.

“Hey, I just got home a few minutes ago,” he smiled as he came up to me, “so the food is still really hot.”

Food. Right. We’d agreed on Chinese takeout before he left work. He picked it up on his way.

“Ruby?”

I took a deep breath and looked up at him when he reached out to me and put a hand on each of my shoulders. His eyes clouded over with concern. I was still focusing on breathing evenly, but I could feel that my face was flushed and knew my eyes were probably blown wide from my stressor before.

“What's wrong?”

“I just… I can't… And then the…” I was stuttering, unable to finish my sentences and thoughts. Niall didn't look panicked, but he was searching my face for any signs of what was causing me to act like this.

I just kept thinking through what I would've done had that man actually been following, had he attacked me. I could see the moves in my mind. Unlike my dream, I could feel in my bones that I would've done what I had been taught by Brian. I knew I would've done it.

It wasn't that I was scared by how weak I was. I was horrified by how I had been thinking of ways to defend myself from a harmless person that was just walking by. I had thought through ways to hurt someone who was just going about his business.

That was what scared me. That I had intended to hurt someone who had no intent to hurt me.

Then there was the problem of my adrenaline. I had been on such high alert that my nerves were frayed and now that the danger was gone, I had no energy left to hold myself together. It wasn't just these past three minutes either.

It felt like the last four months of my constantly being on guard around my friends, my family, and even myself were just snapping into me and like a rubber band that had been stretched so much for so long, I was far too useless at this point and unable to keep anything in place. The lie that I had told to protect myself felt like it was coming back at me and ready to punch me out.

I hadn't realised how physically exhausted I was or how mentally taxing it had been. I noticed here and there, but now it felt like every single moment of fear and paranoia and brokenness was crashing down onto me.

Because the threat was non-credible and my adrenaline was not used in aid of self-defence, it was being used to fuel the crippling pressure I get all over.

“C’mon, let's get you inside,” Niall said now. His voice sounded like it was coming from very far away, and distorted like I was hearing it through water. He still looked confused, but he was confident as he led me into his building, his arms around me, holding me safely.

In the elevator, he wiped my cheeks with his thumbs and it was then that I realised I was crying, that that raspy sound was my breathing echoing around the small room as I struggled to hold myself as together as possible.

Apparently, I wasn’t doing a very good job. After a sob wracked through me, Niall moved so that my face was pressed against his chest and his arms wrapped around me, holding me close to him. I fisted my hands into his sweater as I held onto him.

When the elevator opened I didn’t think I could move to get out. The physical exhaustion had settled over me. I was useless at this point.

Without me saying anything, Niall kneeled down and picked me up from underneath my knees, holding me bridal style and carrying me to his apartment. He didn’t put me down once we crossed the threshold. Instead, he carried me over to his couch and sat down, cradling me to him as he pulled a blanket around us both.

I felt myself let loose and I just started weeping, not holding anything back as my tears soaked through Niall’s sweater. He made me feel safe, even while I was falling apart in his arms. He began rubbing soothing circles on my back, his cheek resting against the top of my head. He didn’t say anything. He just held me while I cried, and cried, and cried. My sobs echoed throughout his tiny apartment, but he held steadfast, didn’t falter, didn’t distance himself.

I don’t know how long we stayed like that, with him holding me while I cried, but it felt like ages when I finally hiccupped and my tears slowed. My eyes were still closed, but it felt like what I assumed a hungover to feel like. My head felt like it had been run over by a truck and my body felt as if it had been beaten with a sledgehammer. I was as limp as a jellyfish. If Niall hadn’t been holding me I would have puddled into an amorphous pile on his floor.

He let me speak first. I don’t think I would ever forget that he let me speak first, that he left it up to me to decide when I was finally ready to talk. He didn’t have to prompt me. I just knew he was willing to listen, his words weren’t necessary.

Now that the tears had stopped and my hiccups paused as I forced deep breaths into my body, I felt myself as I was: broken. I had been naive to think that I was getting better simply because I was ignoring the problem, ignoring the signs. My naivety had cost me the illusion and was shattered, a shadow of who I was.

“It was maybe a week or so before you got here something happened,” I worked out. My voice was scratchy and hollow. Not only did I feel like a shadow of myself, but I also sounded like one as well. “I was walking home from a night out with everyone. It was probably only eleven, but I don’t really remember exactly. I was only a few blocks from home. It’s a walk I’ve made hundreds of times no problem. It’s a walk I still make all the time, without a problem. Everything was normal, except, back then I had been having problems with my front door lock.”

I could feel Niall’s arms stiffen around me, but he still didn’t say anything.

“It had been going on for probably over a month.” I took a deep breath to hold back the tears. I thought I had been all cried out, but apparently, I wasn’t. Still, I bit them back and soldiered on with my story.

“At first it was just that it was sticky and took an extra jiggle, then it was that I had to pull my key our a little bit and then turn it, and just the day before it happened it took me close to fifteen minutes of swearing and yelling at my door, trying and failing to turn my key even a little bit before my door finally opened. I had made a note to text my landlord, but it was only a day later and he hadn’t gotten to it.

“Anyway, when I was walking home that night everything was fine until I turned onto my block, and someone was behind me. It was fine. I even felt guilty for thinking the worst of them when I got really afraid of what could happen. And then I made it through my gate and was at my door, putting my key into the lock I had just remembered didn’t work properly, and I heard my gate creak open again behind me.”

When I paused to catch my breath this time I felt Niall’s arms tighten around me. Him being there for me really helped push me forward, really helped me to say the words aloud for the first time. I mean, I’d told Brian it had happened at home. Had told Brian I had been attacked. I had not sketched out the scene for him, had not told him move-by-move what had happened. This was different. This was harder. It would’ve been impossible with anyone but Niall.

“The worst part was that I knew what was going to happen and I had no way of preventing it. I had no idea how to save myself from what was about to… from what did… He grabbed me around my throat so that I couldn’t even scream. I wasn’t able to do anything because of the fear and because after a little bit of a struggle I was starting to grow weaker, was starting to see spots from the lack of oxygen. I couldn’t even think to do what he was telling me to. When I heard the switchblade open I was able to finally force myself to move and hand him my bag out of my sense of self-preservation. He gave one final squeeze, one that bruised my ribs and severely damaged my throat and then was gone. Vanished into the night.”

Niall’s breathing was steady underneath me but for one hitch when I’d mentioned the word switchblade.

“My throat was bruised for over a week. I hid it with makeup and scarves and turtlenecks. I couldn’t go for a run to clear my mind because when I tried I was spitting up blood, agitating the injury… Not being able to workout to clear my mind was what upset me most, but I managed. I got through the worst of it and successfully hid my bruises. I started going to kickboxing classes during the week instead of running, and every Thursday I go to my self-defence class. The instructor, Brian, noticed my injuries and has been so helpful. I wouldn’t have made it through I don’t think if it wasn’t for him.”

Niall kissed the top of my head and then my forehead. He was so warm around me, radiating calming energy into me to keep me grounded. His hand rubbing circles on my back settled the unease in my stomach, the bile that had been rising in my throat as I recanted my story.

“Everything was going well until the nightmare started in November. It was dark and one man in a dark hood turned into hundreds of identical men and I wasn’t able to move in the dream. I was frozen. It was terrible because I had thought I was making progress with my classes and in my dream, I wasn’t doing anything. It was maddening. I haven’t had it in a few weeks, but tonight when I was walking to yours I had a someone walking behind me. He was bigger, had his hood up because of the rain, and in my mind, I immediately flashed back. I was able to swallow down my fear and think through everything I knew to do. I was scared but in control.”

Niall nodded, I think absentmindedly, as he listened.

“When I made it to your street and turned he kept walking straight and I was flooded with relief and fear at my thoughts and I didn’t know what to do with all of my adrenaline and everything just kept rushing through me and I couldn’t… I couldn’t control my reactions after that.”

“You’re safe now, Ruby,” he held me close.

“I know,” I said, my voice cracking. “I know, but that doesn’t change anything.”

“I know.” He nodded against me. He didn’t try to change my mind, didn’t try to belittle what I was thinking. He just agreed and that was all. His validation spread through me. I didn’t need it, I wasn’t seeking it, but it comforted me nonetheless. It felt like coming home after a long day and sinking onto your sofa and just feeling that relief seep in through all of your pores, into your muscles and lulling you into a state of bliss.

This was far from bliss, but the effect was the same.

“Who else-”

“Brian,” I said before he could finish his question.

“Your self-defence teacher?”

I nodded.

“Who else?”

“Well, you know.”

“And that’s it?”

I nodded.

“Nobody else knows?”

“Nobody else.”

“Okay,” he said. “Okay. That’s okay.”

He wasn’t asking me why I hadn’t told anyone. He wasn’t judging me for not telling anyone. He wasn’t telling me to tell anyone. He just accepted that I hadn’t told anyone and kept on going.

“How about I make you some tea and once you’re settled down, we can eat and we can get you to bed.”

“Okay,” I agreed.

How to Jump Start a Dead Car Battery

There are many different schools of thought on the best way to go about jump starting your vehicle's dead battery. However, speaking from experience, some of them are dangerous and others are just plain wrong. Don't worry too much, there's no way to actually kill yourself by accidentally hooking up the cables incorrectly; the voltage is simply too low to do any permanent damage. But here's the correct way to do it just in case you wanted to save yourself the trouble and the little hairs on your hands. Make sure you have both jumper cables and a nice person that's willing to take the time to jump you. If you don't have cables, or know anyone that does, don't hesitate to call a Los Angeles tow services company or any other dead battery service. They all have battery jump technicians that can give you a battery boost. Plus, if your battery's not the issue, they're already there. look at this web-site jump start naperville

Before you start, make sure that both the vehicle doing the jumping and the dead vehicle are both turned off.

Attaching jumper cables to a live, running car's battery is a fool proof way of not being able to feel your hands for the next half hour.

1) Connect the red cable (positive) to the positive terminal on the dead battery.

2) Connect the other red cable to the battery that's going to jump start the car. This will make sure that the energy being transferred between the two cars is both going to the right place and in the right direction. Connection of the positive terminal to the negative terminal will not charge the dead battery and may, in fact, give you a miniature fireworks display.

3) Connect the black cable (negative) to the negative terminal on the good battery. This will ensure an even transfer of energy out of the live battery.

4) Connect the other end of the black cable to a clean, exposed metal surface underneath the hood. DO NOT CONNECT IT TO THE DEAD BATTERY'S NEGATIVE TERMINAL.

The surface you attach the cable to should be dirt-free and unpainted. Try finding a place on the engine's block, as that is ideal. If you do connect the cable to the negative terminal, it's possible that you'll get more than just the hair on your hands burnt off. And that miniature fireworks display I mentioned earlier could turn into the Disney World version. Please, just don't do it.

5) Start up the vehicle that's doing the jumping. Once you've started it up, just sit there. Have a smoke. Play a game. It'll take about 3-5 before you're needed again.

6) If the dead battery starts its vehicle, remove the cables in the opposite order from which you put them on.

To take the guess work out of this, the order you want to take them off in is:

• Black cable connected to engine • Black cable connected to good battery (car that doing the jumping) • Red cable on the freshly jumped battery • Red cable on the jumping cars battery

Now, I've taken them off in many different orders. Mainly because once your car is started up again, the guy that gave you a jump wants to get the hell out of there. However, this is the proper and safest way to do it.

7) Leave the newly jumped car running for at least the next 20-30 minutes. This will give your battery time to recharge and you time to think up a better excuse of why you're late to dinner than "my car wouldn't start." Just remember, it doesn't make you a weenie if you don't feel comfortable doing this yourself. No one really expects you to commit this to memory until you've done it a billion times. There are many emergency roadside assistance services you can call that would be more than happy to help you out.

Jump starting a car can be a simple, self satisfying "man triumphing over machine" moment if you have the proper instruction and tools. Don't let your cars battery get the best of you again!

5 Reasons Why SMB's Should Use SEO

As the owner of a small or medium-sized business, you may be under the impression that "SEO" (Search Engine Optimisation) is just a fancy marketing term for big businesses and corporations. And you're not alone - in a recent survey, it was found that while 56% of small businesses have their own websites, only 28% think about SEO.

The importance of SEO in this day and age could not be more prevalent. Neglecting to apply SEO strategies to your website may be as crippling for your business as locking your front doors. So what does SEO do? In a world where most consumers use search engines to find nearby companies, SEO is the difference between being visible or invisible. Here are 5 reasons why SMB's should use SEO today.

1) Traffic Boost

The traffic going to your website is driven mainly by search engines. Simply putting up a website is not enough to get seen; people have to know you exist in the first place. Every time they use Google or another search engine to find their new job, designer handbag, car repair (or anything else), Google uses special algorithms to determine which websites will show up on the front page.

By using certain SEO strategies, you can be one of the first sites to pop up every time someone needs something related to your business. Without SEO, you will be buried beneath a mountain of competitors.

2) It's Cost Effective

Most marketing and advertising costs big money, but the only cost of SEO is how much time you spend learning SEO strategies and writing content, or paying an SEO specialist to improve your Google rankings. With a proper SEO campaign maintained over several months, you can expect an ROI several times greater than any Facebook or AdWords advertising, up to 800% or more.

3) Small Businesses Can Beat Big Businesses with Specific Keywords and Other Localized Advantages

Once you get into SEO, you will start to learn that it's all about the keywords, which are simply the words and phrases that people enter into search engines. The overall goal of SEO is to write content in which these keywords are used and focused on, making your site stronger and higher ranked when people Google that certain keyword.

So you might think that your chances at success are hopeless; after all, how are you supposed to out-SEO corporations and large businesses that have been doing this for years? Well, small businesses actually have a greater advantage due to long tail keywords. Long tail keywords are long and specific keywords or phrases. As a small business, you also have a smaller and more specific target audience (for example, everyone looking for your product or service in your town or city, as opposed to a global audience). You can hone in on long tail keywords that include your specific location or audience, that big businesses won't bother tackling. Sure, Toys R Us may get all the "new toys" searches, but your small toy store can capture all the "new toys for young boys in London" searches.

And this isn't the only thing that helps out small businesses, search engines generally take into account the user's location with Local Search, meaning you have a better chance to be seen by people in your area. This will only improve with recent updates in which business owners can further personalize their listings.

In addition to this there is also what's known as "off-page SEO": this is less about the SEO work you do on your website, and more about improving your reputation in the real world and through social media. It turns out that people are more than willing to talk up a small local business that provide a good service, and the more people are talking about you on the web, the more likely your rankings will rise.

4) Competitors Will Always Have an Advantage If You Don't Jump Onboard

The internet boom has come and gone, and ignoring what it can offer is just irresponsible for your business. SEO is fact of life these days and most, if not all, of your competitors are certain to be doing this, so you need to get onboard.

You may argue that you already have a stable group of loyal customers who will keep your business afloat, customers with whom you have built up trust before the SEO and social media years. Sure, that may be the case now, but how long until those customers stop needing or wanting the service or product you provide? New customers will not flock to your store like the old ones. Why? Because new customers will be swept away by your competition long before they even hear your name.

5) SEO Will Always Be Around

SEO isn't something that we'll ride out. The way search engines work, and the fact Google has an increasingly monopolized hold over search engines and various social media platforms, SEO will always be relevant. The best option is to start working on your SEO as soon as possible if you don't want your business to drown under the current.

So what are you waiting for? Don't let the marketing acronyms and jargon scare you away; at the end of the day, SEO is as simple as every other part of running a business. The longer you wait, the further you fall behind. And if you still don't feel comfortable handling all the technical aspects of SEO, that's fine; that's what SEO specialists are for.
