Chapter 3

Waking up with water dripping on your face is never a pleasant feeling. It becomes even worse when you are slowly rising from the darkness of the unconscious state induced from large amounts of blood being around someone who really doesn't like blood. On top of the uneasy sensation if water hitting ones face and just having woken from a faint, the source of all the blood stung like no other. Adrianna Farview was not enjoying this at all.

Adrianna decided right then and there that she had never felt more uncomfortable in her life. This was actually quiet terrible from her perspective. She just hoped that she didn't have a nasty concussion to go with this all; that would truly be the icing on the cake.

She slowly opened her eyes, letting them get used to the lights in the room. Spencer looked down at her with such a look of relief that she felt her lips form a smile.

"You gave me a huge scare right there. Don't you even do that again to me young lady," Spencer scolded before scooping her up into a huge bear hug.

For a reason she couldn't understand, Spencer's hugs didn't make her remember. In fact thet almost made her forget; almost being the key word in that phrase. She had a feeling that nothing would allow her to forget fully. It was too much a major event in her life to be able to fully forget it. She could only learn to cope and move on like most other people who have suffered the way she had have mostly done.

"Well I'll get right on that sir," she replied with a ghost of a smile.

"You're just lucky that cut stopped bleeding and you woke up when you did. I was half considering taking you to the hospital," he replied.

She shuddered at the thought of going to a hospital. What with their IVs and other huge ass needles, she knew she wouldn't have stayed conscious long there. Just seeing a hospital was enough to make her feel ill.

"Spencer Reid, are you telling me that you actually were considering taking me to a hospital," she asked.

"Well yeah," he replied rather sheepishly.

He obviously did not get what the big deal was.

"That is probably the most stupid thing you've ever thought of doing. I hate hospitals more than Sunday school bake sales and being bullied put together. They contain the two things I hate the most: blood and needles, and in large quantities. Do you understand now? "she replied as calmly as she could manage which wasn't much better than a frightened whisper at the end.

"Oh," Spencer replied, obviously not quite sure what to say.

He would have to understand where she was from to not think her afflicted with an illogical anxiety disorder. Anyone who saw her own father shot in front of her would hate blood, also presumably guns, and tap on a lengthily stay at a hospital with that same shot father while he battled death for a week and two days before losing for the last time and you have a fear of needles ,and in the general way hospitals. He hardly blamed her for her fears.

"Well anyways, you shouldn't cut yourself like that, I really freaked out for a moment there, especially when you alone in case you managed to get a concussion or something," Doctor Spencer rambled.

"I'll keep that in mind the next time I handle shard objects," she said, smiling at his obvious concern.

Adrianna thought that Doctor Spencer Reid truly adorable. From day one he had been concerned about her well being both physically and emotionally. He had insisted that she tell him about all her problems and worries and had really helped her though a lot of shit. Yet the only way she could describe him if asked would be adorable. Of course then she would ramble on about how smart he was and how much he'd achieved but the first way she thought of him was adorable.

"Spencer," she said looking him in the eye.

"Yes Adrianna," he replied looking right back at her.

"I am fine. My hand will heal up and my head feels fine. Can you do something for me though?"she said slowly and surely, her face fill of honestly and warmth.

"Sure. What?" he seemed calmed by her assurance that she was fine.

"GO and get some groceries. I love take out and restaurants but I am a teenager, therefore always hungry," she said slowly standing up.

Spencer looked at her with a slight hint of surprise on his face. He nodded and then quickly scrambled to his feet. He quickly shoved the first aid kit onto the counter and pulled his sweater down at the waist.

"Fine I'll go but I really have no idea what to get," he said with more than a subtle hint.

She quickly tore apart his kitchen saying everything he had to herself quietly so she would remember when they got to the store. Spencer knew everything he had perfectly well but he hadn't wanted to say anything that would upset Adrianna so that she would refuse to come with him. He just smiled as he watched her hustle around the smell kitchen muttering to herself like a crazy person. It made him feel less weird when he talked to himself to figure stuff out. Nothing could beat the feeling of feeling slightly normal when you were anything but it.

Twenty minutes later the pair were walking through the aisles at the local grocery store. Spencer pushed the cart along behind Adrianna who never seemed to stop dropping food and drinks into the cart. Occasionally he added things to the leap of food but at a much less frequent rate than the girl.

"Are you really going to be able to eat all this?" he asked as they waited in the checkout line.

"Should be able to, why?" she answered a she flipped through a tabloid magazine.

"Just curious," he was quick to answer, knowing all too well how women get around comments about their daily food intake.

She gave him a knowing smile.

"I know I eat like a fatty," she said with a laugh. "But I just like to think of myself as a girl with a good appetite, I could never be one of those girls that starve themselves."

He let out a relieved breath. At least she knew she ate a lot and wasn't afraid to laugh at herself. That was a great development in her personality. She used to be so serious and self-conscious. That must have been before she started to become comfortable with herself as a person.

It really is a miracle you don't weigh a thousand pounds," he commented as he started placing the food on the conveyer belt.

"Oh I know, thank-god for good genes and a high metabolic rate," she replied helping him.

After a brief disagreement on who was paying, Spencer ended up paying but only after pulling the 'acting guardian' card. It only took a few minutes to get to his place and unpack all of the newly purchased food.

The pair stood in the kitchen staring at each other once they were done their task. They sipped at some water and stood there. Spencer awkwardly rubbed the back of his neck.

"So what do you want to do now?" he asked tucking some of his hairs behind his ear.

"What are my options?" she asked as she lifted herself onto the counter.

"Well on the Saturday's I get off I normally watch TV, read or do paperwork. At night I usually go out, "Spencer rambled trying to think of something she might enjoy doing.

"Well TV's fine for now but going out somewhere tonight would be fun," she replied with a sweet smile.

She leaped down from the counter and gave him a teasing look.

"Let's see what box sets you have," she taunted as she slowly backed up towards the TV and the cabinet with the DVDs in it, the whole while she had a tiny little coy smile on my face trying to illisite some sort of emotional response.

She got what she wanted. In an uncharacteristic bout of playfulness, Doctor Reid launched himself at the girl taunting him with a grin on his face. The girl was a split second quicker than him and managed to skip out of the way rather easily. The pair continued their dance until they arrived at the TV cabinet.

"Hmmmmmmm I wonder what will be in here, "Adrianna said playfully. "Well for sure Star Trek but what else?"

"Don't…"Spencer started as he reached forward to try to stop her.

He was too late. She had already opened up the cabinet and was peering inside it with lethal curiosity. He didn't like the look on her face.

"Ha, I knew it! There are all the Star Trek seasons in here but what else can I find, "she said pulling out the box sets to prove her point each time. "Lost, good show. Doctor Who, of course. Merlin, oh gosh Spencer I didn't know you had a thing for fantasy. Bones, good show. Heroes, oh my gosh I love that show. Oh and what is this? True Blood. Well well Spencer, I am truly amazed that you have this in here."

Spencer's blush grew with each box set added to the heap on the floor. By the last, his face was a brilliant shade of vermillion.

"That last one was a gift from Garcia .She said it was a good show and said that she thought I'd enjoy it. Why is it such a shock that I have it?"Spencer admitted.

She burst out laughing and after a minute or two managed to say."Well you've obviously never watched an episode of True Blood."

"No I have not," he admitted with a sheepish look.

"Well we'll have to fix that. I want to watch all the episodes before the weekend is over. That way you can tell this Garcia what you think of True Blood," she replied with a slight giggle.

She grabbed the disks and put the first one into the player before Spencer could say anything. She quickly put the box sets away before launching herself onto the couch. She patted the space next to her and gave him a serious look. Spencer slowly made his way to the couch showing his reluctance to watch this show. From what he had read about this show it was about vampires in some small town in Louisiana. He didn't know if he was going to enjoy his or hate it. Adrianna's laugh could have been because the show was great or terrible; he still couldn't tell the difference between sarcasm or other emotions especially when it came to women and teenagers.

"Don't look so worried Spencer. It is just a TV show," she said softly, trying to comfort him.

"Do I look worried?"he asked.

"Indeed you do," she replied with a wink."It's OK; I'll protect you from the big bad TV show."

"Shut up," he replied softly with a grin.

One more wink and grin was sent to him before Adrianna's attention turned to the television set in front of the pair. Spencer hoped to get that this wasn't going to be one of those painfully terrible teenage dramas. He didn't know if he could stand a whole season of one of those. He'd much rather have to do the whole teams paperwork.

'If I can teach you one thing my genius doctor friend, it will be to enjoy the frivolities of the fantasy world. Trust me some runchy vampire sex will knock the awkwardness right out of you.'
