A/n: Short, sweet, and to the point. A little 'mistake,' shall we say, from Spencer when Summer says good-bye. Some scrutiny from Morgan. A surprise from JJ... Yeah that's it in a nut shell... Thanks for reading and favoriting. Please leave some comments.
Chapter 5: Good-bye
Spencer's POV
Summer had been crying for a while now. She was devastated to find out her two best students and her mentor had been killed. "It's not your fault, Summer." I told her for the millionth time.
"Yes it is. If I hadn't left Tyler, he would have never killed those girls. And Chelsea wouldn't have killed the rest. It's my fault." she cried.
"Summer, will you stop blaming yourself?"
"Why? This happened all because of me!" I grabbed her shoulders.
"No, it's not!" Just then, Morgan, Prentiss, and JJ came rushing in.
"We missed her." Morgan yelled.
"We've got to move Summer. Chelsea knows where she lives." I said. Emily and JJ exchanged glances.
"I've already called Hotch. He and Rossi are meeting us at the safe house." I had Summer change into something less conspicuous and we rushed her out to the SUV. Morgan and I sat in front as JJ and Prentiss sat in the back with Summer laying across their laps, and Daphne on her. The house was 30 minutes away. I felt horrible, like I was gonna be sick. Finally we got there.
"Can I get up?" Summer asked.
"Yes." JJ said. We rushed Summer Raine into the house.
"You and Reid are to share the room in the attic." Hotch said to Summer. I glanced over. Her eyes were bright but she had a non-chalant look on her face.
"Yes, sir." she said. I followed her as she took her stuff up to our room. She looked at me when we reached the room. "You look uncomfortable. It's the sleeping arrangement, isn't?" I shrugged.
"I'll be fine." She smiled.
Summer Raine's POV
The next two weeks went by quickly. I had nothing to do but play board games and watch movies. I wasn't allowed outside at all. Eventually, Chelsea called again and this time Derek and Emily caught her. Two more students were killed, though. Of course I blamed myself.
"It's not your fault Summer!" Spencer said for the ump-teenth time. "Quit crying." He wiped the tears from my face. "Please."
"No. It's-" He put his hand over my mouth.
"I don't want to hearit." he said. "Now, go pack. Morgan will be here to take you home soon."
"Fine." I said, sauntering up to my room. Moments later, Derek was here to take me home. Finally!
Spencer's POV
I stood there on Summer's front porch, and a thought hit me. It was over. This would be the last time I saw Summer Raine Renyolds. "Goodbye Summer. I'll- I'll miss you." I said. I was surprised at how much more confident I was around her. She smiled.
"I'll miss you, too." She hugged me. "Goodbye, Spencer, until we meet again." and with that she turned and walked in her house. I walked over to the SUV. Morgan punched me in the arm.
"Ow! What was that for?" I asked.
"Whenever a girl looks at you like that, especially one as beautiful as Summer Raine, you're supposed to kiss her." he said.
"It's not like that." I said.
"Whatever you want to think." he said, getting in the car. I sighed as I got in the car and Morgan pulled out of Summer's driveway for the last time. Who was I kidding...? I loved her.
ONE YEAR LATER
JJ called the team in. We had another case. "Okay, before I go over the case, I'd like to introduce you to our newest team member." She had the biggest smile on her face as she looked at me. Everyone else turned to the door. Morgan snickered. A giggle escaped Prentiss' lips, and Rossi and Hotch shared the same slight smile. I turned to see why they were all suddenly so happy. There she was; the woman I had fallen in love with only a year ago.
"Summer?"
"Hi, Spence."
