Disclaimer: I don't own Criminal Minds.
This one-shot is dedicated to one of my faithful readers tannerose5!
After watching the season finale, I became so angry at JJ that this little one shot came into my head. Pretend that Criminal Minds hasn't been renewed for a 15th season.
I wrote this on my phone because I recently had open abdominal surgery four days ago and I can't handle using my laptop right now. I'll be back to working on The Profiler and the Nurse and Love Takes Away the Pain: Book Five as soon as I'm recovered enough to use my laptop for long periods of times again.
Rossi is mentioned in this chapter because Spencer called him and told him that he's leaving.
Spencer entered Emily's office.
"I can't handle working with JJ anymore because her game of truth or dare with Casey caused me to almost get shot in the head and she broke my heart before I was able to save her and the two other hostages," said Spencer.
"Broke your heart?" asked Emily.
Spencer started to recount the words of what JJ said to him and what was talked about at the reception before looking at Emily.
"If she was telling the truth, I can't let her divorce Will so she can be with me. My own father walked out on my mom and me and I don't want her to break Will's, Henry's, and Michael's hearts. She's a mean girl just like Alexa Libson from high school," said Spencer.
"I know that your not the type of person who would want to break up a happy marriage, but who is Alexa Libson?" asked Emily.
Spencer started to recount the goalpost incident and when he was finished Emily sighed.
"I'm sorry that happened to you," said Emily.
"Because of me not being able to handle working with JJ anymore, I called Cal-tech after Rossi's wedding reception and asked them if they were hiring. They told me that can use my help with research projects on Monday while I can start teaching chemistry this fall," said Spencer as he handed Emily his resignation.
"You're leaving the FBI?" asked Emily.
Spencer nodded.
"The hostage situation I was in and JJ's confession is the last straw and it's better for me to leave for my own mental health. If JJ is really in love with me, she shouldn't have invited Garcia on the date Gideon set us up on or gotten together with Will," said Spencer.
Emily nodded.
"I agree. Even though you did a great job on making sure that everyone except Casey got out alive, I'm going to miss working with you," said Emily before grabbing a hold of Spencer's hand and squeezed it, "I know that you'll find someone who will love you better than JJ did," said Emily.
Spencer bit his tongue as he thought about his girlfriend that already lived in Los Angeles that he kept a secret from his teammates for a year.
"I know," said Spencer.
"When it comes to your resignation, do you want today to be your last day?" asked Emily.
"Yes please so I can catch a flight to L.A. tomorrow," said Spencer.
Later on that afternoon, Spencer was starting to box up his belongings when JJ, Luke, and Matt looked at him.
"Spence?" asked JJ.
Spencer turned his head and glared at JJ.
"Please don't call me Spence me anymore, Jennifer," sneered Spencer.
JJ narrowed her eyes.
"Why?" asked JJ.
"When it comes to the confession you made while Casey held us hostage, I know that you won't leave Will for me and I'll never ask you to leave Will because of how my own father walked away from my mom and me. So today is my last day in the FBI because I can't handle working with a liar who almost got me killed anymore. So because of you reminding me of my female tormentors Alexa Libson and Harper Hillman from high school, I'm moving far away from DC so I don't have to live in the same city as you anymore," said Spencer before he stayed silent as he finished boxing up his items.
After taking time to explain everything and saying goodbye to Garcia, Luke, Matt, Rossi, and Emily: Spencer headed to his car and pulled out of the parking garage before looking at the place that became his second home in over 15 years before he started his drive to his D.C. apartment.
Over an hour later Spencer was starting to box up belongings that he couldn't go without while knowing that Rossi will have movers pack up the rest of the belongings and ship them to California as he pulled out his cell phone and dial a certain number. A few seconds later Spencer heard a familiar female voice.
"What's up, Spencer?" asked Lila.
Spencer smiled as he thought about running into Lila Archer when he was having dinner with Parker Dunley when he traveled to Pasadena to give a guest lecture at Cal-tech and how he and Lila started a long distance relationship.
"After talking to you last night, I ended up quitting the FBI so I can work at Cal-tech full time. When it comes to us being in a relationship for the past year, I'm tired of us living on opposite sides of the country and I want to see you every day instead of every couple of months and holidays," said Spencer.
"I'm glad that you considered my offer on moving to L.A. and why don't you just move in with me," said Lila.
Spencer smiled.
"I'll take your offer," said Spencer.
A/N: I'm leaving this here, but if you readers want more please let me know and I'll work on another chapter as soon as I'm recovered from surgery more.
