Fall For You
Chapter 1
Spencer's Story
"Tonight will be the night that I will fall for you over again, don't make me change my mind" Those lyrics were engraved into Spencer Reid's mind, ever since he left Aaron Hotchner. His world changed every second seemed longer until the next, Reid was still in love with Hotch, but he knew the feeling was pointless.
Ever since Ashley started with the BAU she was the one Hotch loved, at least I think that is what made him change his mind about me. I sat at my desk with a copy of the book The Lovely Bones in my hand , I had finished my paperwork faster than the others so I had a little more time to myself. Until Hotch had called me into his office, so now here I sit scared to face the one man I still love, but what was the point I know that he does not love me.
"Reid, I need your help on a case just you and I are going down to Sudbury Ontario, there have been a string of murders happening. Are you ok with that or should I ask JJ or Emily?" Hotch asked, I could not believe it just me and him were going to be alone.
"Oh so this is how it works, Ashley is gone so you ask me?" I was a little upset I could not believe that I was the one that he turned to if she was gone, maybe that is what I will always be to him the second choice, maybe I would be the one that was always the second one to be chosen when she was not around.
"Whoa Reid what are you talking about?" Hotch asked taken aback by what Reid said to him.
"Is that what I will always be from now on a second choice to when your girlfriend was gone is that it Aaron that is all I am to you now the second hand man?" I could not believe that I just said that to my boss.
"Ok I get it you are a little mad at what I did, but nobody's perfect promises ALWAYS get broken one way or another it was bound to happen sometime Spencer." He replied.
"So you planned on leaving me all along you were just waiting for something better to come along, that is all I was since Hayley died I was just a place filler until you found someone better is that it." I was getting really upset now I could not believe what he just said to me.
"Whoa I think you are taking this the wrong way Spencer just please we need to leave soon are you going to help me or not?" he said kind of irritated.
"I will only go if JJ, or Emily come?" I replied. I walked out of his office than back to my desk with my head down to avoid people looking at me and hiding the tears that were now making their way down my face. I just wish that he knew that I still loved him.
"Hey you ok Pretty Boy?" Morgan asked me.
"Yeah I think I will be ok I just need a few." I replied
"JJ and Emily my office now, and Reid should you not be going home to pack" Hotch barked.
"Hey Hotch I do not know what your problem is but give the kid a break, ok, just because Ashley is gone you get all miserable it would have been better if she never would have showed up than maybe things would be different around here." Morgan said walking up to Hotch.
"Morgan just please don't I don't want things any worse" I asked.
"No, no one treats my pretty boy like they are nothing, now Hotch either you stop what ever attitude it is that you have recently inhabited or I will take it care of it myself, go a head and suspend me fire me but no one talks to Spencer that way especially some liar like you!!" Morgan was getting angry I have never seen him act like that before.
"Morgan I don't think that is a wise idea…." I was cut off by a familiar gruff voice.
"No Spence he is right ever since she showed up around here things have changed you just up and take off, than you are always treating her like she is something special, she should be treated like an equal now" Jason Gideon said, "Now either you figure out your priorities or you and your girlfriend are out of here,"
"Jesus Morgan if you would not have said anything this never would have happened." Hotch said
"Really maybe if you learned to treat people with respect and dignity that they disserve, and get a personality than maybe this never would have happened." Morgan said.
"Come on Reid help me out here?" Hotch begged.
"No you have gotten everything you disserve, it does not feel to well being treated like that does it, well maybe you know how it feels to get the short end of the stick!" I was not going to help out a man that treats people like they are nothing.
"Reid, JJ, Emily come on we have to get to the landing strip in 10 mins." Gideon said, I walked passed Hotch and smiled a very content smile, when he grabbed my arm a got a little scared, than it happed Aaron Hotchner just kissed me.
"Hotch what the hell are you doing?" I asked moving away from him, "Why did you do that?"
"Because I still love you Spencer Reid" he said. I seen Morgan tense up a little.
"Well it is a bit late for that is it not Hotch?" I said as I walked away.
"Hey Reid can I talk to you before you go?" a small voice came from behind me.
"Ashley, your back" Hotch said as he walked towards her and tried to hug her but she just pushed him away.
"Aaron I heard everything that they said, and it is true I have been the one that got the special treatment and it is not fair to anyone else, and Spencer I am so sorry if I would have known that you were with him I never would have went out for drinks with him, I am SO SORRY can you forgive me?" Ashley asked, "I totally understand if you can't after all I was the one who caused this problem".
"No it is ok I forgive you, it is not your fault I should have known that if he met a girl that this would happen, you know for a while I thought that he might have changed and that is why I fell in love with him but I guess I was wrong" I said than gave her a forgiving hug. "Hey Gideon is it ok if she comes to?" I asked because I liked her she was a nice girl and we both had a lot in common.
"Reid I don't think that it would be a good idea I think that I am not everyone's favorite right now." She said,
"No you can come too if you want I think that we all kind of misunderstood you a little." Gideon responded.
"Ok thanks, when do we leave" she asked.
"Well now that we have wasted 5 mins we only have exactly that 5 mins." He said.
"Oh I almost forgot, Aaron this is over I am not going to date someone that treats other people like they are just someone that you don't like, you work with these people they at least deserve a little respect." She said than walked away. We were about to leave when I seen Ashley outside near the BAU issued cars when I seen her on the ground crying.
"Hey you ok?" I asked
"Ummm… yeah it is just I left everything as Aarons place so I don't have anything or anywhere to go." She said
'Well if you want you could stay with me and I could ask Garcia for a little favor," I offered.
"You really don't mind if I live with you?" she was a little unsure at first but that I told her that I really did not care. "Ok sure I will stay with you." She said getting up,
"Hey JJ, Em I have a little favor to ask you when we get back from the case how about you 3 do a little shopping she does not have any clothes?" I asked.
"Sure" they said. So we went off and solved the case it was really easy the UNSUB started to get careless with his crimes so it made it a little easier to catch him. But that is when I realized that I had feelings for her. When you stand in front of a killer and about to get shot, and than she pushes you aside and takes the shot for you makes you think twice about a person. I was on my way to the hospital to see her when I decided to stop and get her some flowers. Than I walk up to the 3rd floor, and paused when I seen Emily, and JJ sitting at her bedside.
"Hey Reid" She said in her soft voice.
"Hey I brought you some flowers" I said as I walked into the room.
"Aww thanks Reid they are beautiful," she said taking them as she gave me a kiss on the cheek, and took the flowers.
"Uhh no problem, I seen they were your favorite, Roses."
"Did you know that certain flowers have a certain meaning?" she asked me and of course I knew that.
"Yeah I know Red means Love and the Blue means…." I didn't want to say anything with Em and JJ in the room.
"You know what we are going to go get some coffee you guys want any?"
"Umm sure that would be great JJ" I said
"Umm I think that the Doctors would frown upon that for me right now." Ashley said. After they left there was an awkward moment that passed between me and her.
"Hey thanks for saving my life and risking yours." I said
"It is no problem I just don't want anything to happen to you." Ashley said "So are you going to tell me what the blue roses mean?"
"Umm well the blue ones mean, thank you and…. Give me a chance please" I said hoping that she would not get creped out by what I said.
"Spencer Reid are you trying to ask me to be your girlfriend?" Ashley asked smiling
"Well actually I think I am" I said now kind of smiling myself.
"Well than is there any flower that says yes?" she said grabbing my face and bringing it closer to hers than we kissed, but it was not a short kiss it was a kiss that I hoped that would last forever.
"Aww see I told you that something might come from saving a guys life" JJ said, as she walked back in and handed me my cup of coffee.
"you are lucky that I am in a hospital bed, and that I cant move!!!" she said sitting up.
"Hey ladies" Garcia said as she walked into the room.
"I am here too Garcia" I said
"And that is why I said it, here Ash I brought you something. Aww who are the flowers from?" Garcia asked.
"They are from Reid, he bought them for me." She said smiling at me and grabbing my hand.
"Go Reid" Garcia said hugging me, than it walked into the room.
"Hello Hotch" she said gripping my hand more tightly, I could see the fear in her eyes.
"Hey Ashley" he said looking down at Ashley and my hand together.
"So I see you have moved on, well I did come to apologized to both of you two but now I guess that is pointless." He said walking.
"Why do you have to be like that you could at least ask me how I am or how I am feeling, no instead all I get is attitude from you and I think that it is time that it stops or soon you wont have anything." She said wincing in pain.
"Why should I say anything, all I get from you is attitude to" He said back.
"Don't talk to her like that Hotch" I said now feeling angry and just wanted to hit him.
"Why what are you going to do?"" he said egging me on.
"Aaron just drop it and walk away, you have no business being her she does not want you here." I said with a little more anger. He would just not leave than I just hit him, I just hit SSAIC Aaron Hotchner in the face.
"OWWW what the Hell Spencer?"
"I said to leave and you would not listen." I said
"A little defensive are we?" Hotch said leaving the room.
"I am so sorry Ashley I did not think that I would do that, I just got really angry." I apologized.
"Don't worry about it I think that it was kind of cute." She said smiling at me.
"YEAH!!!!!!! GO Spence!!!!" JJ and Emily cheered.
"I am so sorry it just kind of happened" I apologized
"No it is ok I think it is kind of cute" Ashley said grabbing my hand again.
"Spencer don't apologize he deserved it, if you wouldn't have hit him I think I would have." JJ said
"Ow I think that I did some damage to my hand." I said and I think that I might have done some damage to my hand.
"Well why don't I g get a Doctor so he can take a look at it" Emily said as she went to search for a DR.
