Spencer's Point Of View (unless otherwise said most statistics are probably untrue)
I walked into the BAU as I did every other day, except today I could feel something was off. Everyone was walking slower, a nervous feel in the air. Confused, I walked up to JJ who had a notebook in hand to ask what was going on. "Hey JJ," I began, "is everything okay?" She shook her head tears threatening to fall from her eyes. "Mor-" An empty feeling arrived in my stomach as the beginning of his name fell from her lips.
"Morgan? What's wrong with Morgan? Is he okay? Why wasn't I notified of this?" I began to shake a little bit, scared to hear what was coming next.
"Some guy beat him up in a bar last night. I don't know the full story, he has not told anyone yet but he is in the hospital right now. He is in pretty bad shape, nothing life-threatening he should be home in a day or two." She stared into my eyes, awaiting my response. JJ is the only person who knows of my growing feelings for Derek. I didn't tell her; one day we were at a bar with the rest of the team, she saw the crushed look on my face when he was dancing with multiple girls of every age and race falling all over him. I remember running out with tears slipping from my brown orbs down my face as the crisp, cool Virginia air whipped around my face. Jennifer was there, she comforted me when I really needed it. The blonde female is truly the best friend I could ever have. The situation at hand came back to my mind and all of a sudden I was breaking down. "Spence, shhh calm down. Come here, you don't need to be seen like this." She was right, they already thought I was the weak link here, nobody needs to see my sobbing over my co-worker. My very straight co-worker at that. I was shaking as she led me into Garcia's office.
"Spencer, ohmygod Spencer are you okay? What bitch to I need to slap into the next generation?" I love Penelope, she always knew how to lighten up a situation. "Wait.. He found out didn't he?" I looked up and she saw the despair, love, and brokenness in my expression. I did not even care she probably just figured out my deepest secret, all I cared about was the man in the hospital bed.
"I- I need to see him." I stuttered out.
"I'll take you." The women both offered at the exact same time. JJ laughed, "I guess we'll take you."
"Who are you here to see?" The tall, lean Latina asked in a fake voice shuffling through some papers behind the window of the desk. "D- Der- Derek Morgan." I managed to get out, though I was breaking. She immediately looked up and her bored demeanor left her face and it changed into one of care and sympathy. After looking him up on the system she then told me, "Room 313, love." I nodded thankfully as I was buzzed through the big wooded doors that will lead me to the one my heart is craving.
"Oh, my sweet, sweet Chocolate God!" Garcia cried as JJ loudly shushed her saying he was sleeping. She was no quieter than Penelope though. I hovered behind them, quietly observing as I saw him stir from his slumber.
"Hey Baby Girl and JJ." His voice sounds really raspy; too tired too even look past them and see me. If he did he did not acknowledge me though, but why would he with these gorgeous women in front of me? JJ nudged Penelope and they stepped aside revealing me. "H-hi Morgan.." Wow I was doing a lot of stuttering today.
He laughed but then coughed, "Hey Kid. Don't look so scared, I am not in need of Life Support." I grimaced giving him a look-over. "Actually according to statistics Life Support might actually be a good thing to have at any age, adults from 20-35 are more likely to harm themselves than the elderly due to…." I trailed off nervously and JJ rubbed my back. How come I must always embarrass myself? Again Morgan laughed but seeing the unsure look on my face he beckoned me over to his bed. Using the little remote he brought the top of the bed up to a higher angle and I sat on the bottom. "Look I am completely fine. Just a little banged up is all." My face pinked and I looked down. I was faintly aware of the two girls having a hushed conversation a few feet away and as soon as us boys looked over Garcia blurted out, "I have to use the bathroom!" and JJ quickly followed her out. I glared at them and became increasingly became more aware of my placement on the bed by the second.
"Is it just me or are they being weird to you?" The older male looked at me questioningly.
"Uh it's just you. Actually, I have to go I think they need me back at the BAU to give the uh janitors information on how to properly care for the floors in a business type setting so yeah uh bye." I blushed and myself hurried out the door.
"What the hell are you doing out here?" Garcia questioned me when she saw me in the hallway.
"Walking?" I lied.
"You got nervous didn't you?" I blushed and stared at my feet. "But you were doing so well! He was totally moving in on you."
"He was not!" I defended, "He is straight Penelope. As straight as a ruler. In fact, I think he is even straighter. Ignore the fact that some rulers are bendable, he is as straight as a wooden ruler. Even if he wasn't, why would he go for me? I'm just a nervous, flustered, unconfident, wreck. I mean…. He calls me kid." My eyes welled up with tears and JJ came and wrapped her arms around me. Garcia came over too and rubbed my back whispering random things into my ear. I just nodded and they released me as we started walking towards the car. As we walked through the parking lot I overheard a happy man talking on the phone. Oh how I wish that was me.
A/N: Sorry it is sooo short. I just want to see if people like it, the reaction, before I post any more. My second thing is (if people re even reading this) would you like shorter, quicker updates or longer updates where you wait about a week?
