Chapter 3: Long Lost Friend
Reid sat in his room listening to music. It was he and Emily's favorite song. He started to cry even more. He picked up his cellphone. He was about to try to call her. He knew he was just wasting his time because she was never going to answer his call, ever.
I woke up this morning and played our song. And through the tears, I sing along. I picked up the phone and then put it down. Cause I know I'm wasting my time and I don't mind.
I remember when we kissed. I still feel it on my lips. The time that you danced with me when no music played, I remember the simple things. I remember until I cry. But the one thing I wish I'd forget, the memory I wanna forget is goodbye.

Suddenly, Reid's cellphone rang. He nearly fainted when he heard it was Emily's ring tone. He looked at the screen in shock because it read, 'Emily.' He didn't know what to do, so he answered it.
"H-hello?"
"Reid?" He almost broke at the sound of her familiar voice. She sounded sad, but excited as well.
"Emily? Is it really you?"
"Yeah. I-I've been alive the entire time. I had to leave because you would all be in danger. I'm so sorry for putting you all through that."
"Emily, it's okay. I've missed you so much." Reid paused. "W-why are you calling? Can't this put you in danger?"
"Doyle's dead."
Two words. The best two words he had ever heard in the last two years. He couldn't believe it.
"Doyle's dead?"
"Yeah. And... I'm actually standing right outside your apartment."
Reid quickly stood up and ran to his door. He opened the door and saw Emily smiling at him. He quickly hung up the phone and hugged her.
"Emily, I've missed you so much." He said, hugging her tighter.
"I missed you, too, Reid." She said, still hugging him.
Suddenly, my cellphone's blowing up with your ring tone. I hesitate but answer it anyway. You sound so alone. And I'm surprised to hear you say, "I remember when we kissed. I till feel it on my lips. That time that I danced with you when no music played. I remember the simple things." We talked until we cry. You say, "My biggest regret, the one thing I wish you'd forget is saying goodbye."

Reid and Emily sat on the couch and talked about all of the good times. They had a lot of catching up to do. They talked until they were in tears.
"Reid, I'm sorry you never got to say goodbye."
"I'm just happy you're back. I actually only regret one thing out of this entire incident."
"Oh. What's that?"
"Well, I never got to tell you this before you left. I love you, Emily."
Emily was speechless. When she was finally able to form words, she said, "I-I love you, too, Spencer."
"Let's forget the past and everything that's happened. I just want to start a new beginning with you."
"I want the same thing, Spencer." She said, kissing him deeply.
