"Rather than viewing a brief relapse back to inactivity as a failure, treat it as a challenge and try to get back on track as soon as possible."

~Jimmy Connors

The week later Elizabeth was doing her work when she looked up and noticed Spencer staring blankly at his files, she hadn't talked to him since their fight. Tom had also been trying to get her to go on a date where she kept refusing in a kindly manner. Spencer hadn't been acting the same since the incident and even the team was beginning to notice and was voicing their concerns. Elizabeth still wanted to be friends and she still cared about him, she sighed closed her file and started walking over to Spencer, when Tom got into her way with a red rose. "I won't take no for an answer."

Elizabeth was getting frustrated with this guy constantly bothering her so she gave him a long hard glare. "You keep this up, Tom and I'm going to file for Sexual harassment now excuse me," She moved her left and he blocked her way she moved the other way and he was there again. "I've had it!" She kneed him in-between the legs, "Would you take a hint already?" She walked over Tom who was doubled over as she got to Spencer, "Hey."

He looked up at her and gave her a small broken smile that made her heart twinge, "Hi."

"Can we talk?" She asked he nodded and he got up and they were going to go out into the hall, when Hotch came out.

"We have a case." Hotch headed into the conference room and Elizabeth looked at Spencer.

Spencer held out his arm telling Elizabeth to lead and she did and Spencer followed. "The case is a strange one." Garcia began as the two once lovers entered the room you could taste the awkwardness in the air. "You my pretties minus myself and my lovely Lizzie, are headed to the lovely state of Ohio 5 children have been brutally murdered all found in the forest they were sexually assaulted but it's not just one type of child." Pictures of boys and girls popped up on the screen and they were all racially diverse. "And each child has been killed 48 hours after their being reported missing.."

"There were two children just recently reported missing less than 12 hours ago." Elizabeth stated more than asked.

"That means we have a day and a half to find these kids alive let's not waste anytime." Hotch said, "Wheels up in 15" The team dispersed and Elizabeth collected the files.

"Go talk to him" Penelope said taking the files from Elizabeth's hand. "Go." Elizabeth walked out the room and headed to Spencer's area.

"Don't think were not going to talk about what's going on with you." Spencer looked up and saw Elizabeth standing there.

"I'm fine." Spencer said, avoiding eye contact.

"You're lying to me. Spence, don't act like I don't care."

"Well if you did you wouldn't have left would you?" Spencer said grabbing his go bag, about to leave.

Elizabeth grabbed his arm making him stop, "I'm worried about you Spence,"

"You lost that privilege when you walked out on me." Spencer yanked his arm out and walked away.

Tom as if on cue grabbed her waist. "Now how about that date."

Elizabeth glared at him. "No, or did the message I sent to your balls not reach your puny brain of yours?"

His gripped tightened and Elizabeth elbowed him and Morgan pulled Tom of her. Dave wrapping his arms around his daughter and Elizabeth was overwhelmed that she pushed her dad off and ran to the elevators and ran into Spencer who just so happened to see everything. "Spence.." Elizabeth whispered.

"Elizabeth.." Spencer responded Elizabeth began to sob and she felt a pair of arms around her. "Shhh calm down. I'm right here."

Elizabeth sobbed in his chest and at quick glance and saw Spencer's sleeves were rolled up and notices little holes where his veins were. Elizabeth closed her eyes. "You relapsed didn't you? Because of me?"

Spencer rolled down his sleeves and continued to rub her back not answering her question so she asked another one. "Are you high right now?"

"No today I came to work Sober. Now I'm glad I did." He whispered and this just made Elizabeth sob more and Spencer stopped the elevator. "I'm going to stay home on this case."

"Fine, but we still need to talk."

"We will, but not now." Spencer said quietly. They stood in that spot for about an hour but that didn't mean things were back to the way they were. Not even close.
