NOTE: Hellooo! I hope you are having/had a great day and you are doing alright. Enjoy!
They walked in silence to this library Spencer had talked about. He couldn't bring the right words in his head so he could talk to Anna openly and freely. He was afraid that he would say something wrong and would upset her even more. What should he do? That's why he argued with Hotch about this. He already knew that he would mess up, he thought. They arrived to the library and sat on the small sofa in the back, so they could be alone and to be sure that no one heard them.
"So Spencer… How are you?"
"How am I?"
"Yeah."
"Anna are you serious? I should ask you that, plus this isn't the time"
"Well, you brought me here so we could talk, so I am talking to you."She said. Spencer didn't speak to her even though she was rude with him. He knew that she was in a bad emotionally state and that could cause a series of different reactions, like being a lot angry or sad.
"I am sorry Spence… I am being kind of a bitch lately to you and….. Just… This situation makes me feel so weird and just…. I don't know… I am so sorry."She said suddenly.
"Don't worry about it, as I said to you before, I've been there too and I was like you. I might as well dare to say that I was worst."
"Oh really? How much worse?"She said and looked at him.
"Well I was yelling a lot, not only to the then suspects but to Morgan and Rossi who had stayed to Vegas, so they could help with this case that was bothering me."
"Oh come on! At least they knew you for more than a year, not like me that they now me for only four days!"She said and then both stopped talking for a few seconds.
"I really don't want this."
"What do you mean Anna?"
"I mean that I don't want from my first days as SSA Anna Green, to be known as the girl that her father murdered more than twelve women and that she is being rude."
"What are you talking about? There are now proofs that your father is a murderer and-"
"I know it Spence… I know it's him because he is capable and even in his sixty years old he is a narcissistic bastard who enjoys beating up his wife!"She said and a few tears came out of her eyes.
"Plus about the part that I said that I was rude…. A minute ago I didn't even gave you the chance to finish your sentence…. That is my proof of how a bitch I became."She said and started crying.
"Oh god now I am crying, great!"She said and cried even more.
Spencer didn't know what to do. He was speechless. The woman that he barely known was in front of him crying her eyes out and he was being an ass and didn't do anything to comfort her, he thought. Right away he hugged her and kissed her forehead.
"Please don't cry."He whispered to her softly. She shook her head and tried to catch her breath.
"Could we stay a little bit like this?"She whispered.
"Of course we can."He answered.
She needed time to think. Was this really happening? Was her world really being destroyed? Was the man who had a crush on really trying to calm her down? Would he leave her soon, like everyone else did? What would her future hold? Was her father a murderer after all? How would her mother deal with this, if he really was one of them? One of those monsters that her and her new team went after. So many thoughts, so many questions, that could not be answered soon.
They pulled away from each other after a few more minutes.
"Thank you so much Spencer."
"For what?"
"For comforting me and being a good friend."
"Oh you don't have to thank me but you are welcome."He said and blushed.
"You know…. This is hard."
"What is?"
"Being a profiler, it's hard and can be a pain in the ass."
"Well, you are kind of right but it's not as hard as it seems. I mean you do this job just fine."
"No I am not. I just cried for a case and-"
"This not a normal case! It involves family members! These cases are never easy for anyone in the team."
"Yeah but-"
"No! You will let me speak now, I am sorry for talking to you like this but I need you to understand what I am saying right now. You are a good profiler, as far as I know and as you said I have an IQ of 187, so technically I am a genius and you should always listen to the genius. You are doing your job properly and if you think about it your previous job was so different from this one. So please don't put yourself in this place where you doubt your skills. Believe in yourself."He said and smiled to her.
Why Spencer? Why did you have to be so cute?, she thought.
"… Okay, you are a genius so you are probably right."She said and looked at the floor.
"Shall we go?"She asked.
"Yes we shall because we were gone for…."He said and looked at his watch."For forty eight minutes!"
"Woah, really?"
"Yeah."He said and both got up. They exited and start walking towards the police station.
"Soooo about your statement..?"
"Spence…. Don't tell me that-"
"-It has to happen immediately."
"What?! Why? And from who?"
"We need o finish this case, I mean you don't want to go back home, except if you stay here after this is finished, and I don't know."
"Okay, but I don't think that I am staying here after all this is over."She said and gave him another charming and beautiful smile. Not now Spencer!, he thought.
