Ahowell93 Thanks for the review. I do think Derek will be heartbroken for Spencer.
Sazzita-I come from England and we say mum instead of mom. I do hope the show can survive all the changes.
Reid and Lewis were on the road and it was getting dark "We're going to have to book into a hotel tonight Spence and continue on in the morning" Tara said.
"I think you're right Tara. We're both tired and mentally and emotionally exhausted. I need to ring up the Bennington and find out what they're going to do with mum" Spence said.
"Yeah,they'll have to move her to a mortuary we still need to go to the Bennington first" Tara explained.
Tara drove for a bit further until she stopped at a hotel "Right come on let's get booked in" She said "Oh shit we don't have a change of clothes. SHIT! We should have gone back to our apartments first".
"Or caught a flight instead!" Spencer smirked trying to lighten the mood.
"Yep that might have been more sensible!" Tara said before she looked at him sincerly and asked "Are you doing OK Spence?".
"I suppose i should feel more upset. But in a way i'm glad. She was suffering badly and now i know she's at peace and i can get comfort from that" Spencer said.
Tara put her arm around him in her car "I'm right here Spence. You won't be alone i promise".
"Thanks Tara that means a lot to me. Can i ask what's happening between you and Derek?" He asked wanting to change the subject.
"Well we're just goofing around. I'm not looking for anything serious. He's just there until the real thing comes along that's all" She explained.
He suddenly felt relieved. Maybe he did stand a chance after all.
"Right anyway in the morning we're going to have to shower then get back on the road and find a clothes shop and buy some clothes to last us as we don't know how long we're going to be gone" Tara stated.
"Yep you're right Tara. Right let's go then!" he said as they both got out of her car and walked towards the hotel.
They walked in the door and walked to the reception desk and Tara said "Hi can we have two single rooms for one night please?".
"Of course you can. Can i take your names please?" Asked the receptionist.
"I am Tara Lewis and this is my friend Spencer Reid" She answered.
"Ok that will be a grand total of $202.56 please?" the receptionist then asked.
Spencer tried to hand Tara some money but she refused to take it and said "It's ok Spencer i'm paying" She smiled as she handed the receptionist her credit card.
"Thankyou Miss lewis" The receptionst smiled as she handed Tara two keys.
"Thankyou" Tara and Spencer both said as they walked off to find their rooms.
"You didn't have to pay for me Tara" Spencer said.
"It's fine Spence" Tara smiled "Ah ha here we go. You get to choose which room you want".
"I'll take this one" Spence said.
"Well goodnight then"Tara said as they both went in their rooms.
Spencer got into bed but he could not sleep. He needed comfort so he decided to knock on Tara's door "Tara are you awake? Can i come in?" he whispered through the door.
He waited until she opened the door "Come in Spence" She smiled sleepily.
"I can't be on my own. Can i stay with you?" he asked.
"Of course" She said.
"I'll park myself on the sofa" He said.
"Get into the bed with me Spence. I trust you" She smiled.
"Are you sure Tara?" he asked.
"Yes i am" She said.
He got up off the sofa and climbed in the bed with her and he fell straight to sleep. She then fell asleep.
