A few hours later
Reid found been staring at the place he had always feared for hours, he was staring at Bennington sanitarium. He wanted to see his mother one last time before he went after Tobias, when he died he was haunted by what was going to happen to his mother. He wondered if she would even remember who he was. Reid watched the sun rise from the bench he was on, he waited till visiting hours started and then made his way in. He stopped at the desk and the receptionist recognised him from his previous visits.
"Dr Reid! How are you?" she said in a ultra cheerful tone.
"Hello, I'm alright, I was just wondering if I could speak with my mother. I can't stay long but I need to speak with her" Reid asked in a polite but rushed voice.
"Of course Dr Reid. She is in the lounge reading, I'm sure she will be happy to see you" the receptionist said.
Reid nodded and smiled before he made his way to the patient lounge, he entered the lounge to see only his mother in there, she was staring outside the window enveloped by her jumbled thoughts. Reid walked over to his mother nervously, his heart was beating a mile a minute.
"Hey mum" he said small voice. Diana Reid turned to face her son.
"Spencer, What are you doing here?" she asked confused.
"I just wanted to see you quickly, I can't stay for long but I just wanted to see how you were."
"I'm okay sweetie. I'm sick of being around these doctors, they think they are Gods among men" she said with her eyes darting to the door and then back to Reid.
"They're not Mum, they are just trying to help. I'm sorry I haven't been around much, I've been busy at work. I've really missed you" he said looking down, he was ashamed for not visiting her more.
"I've missed you too Spencer. What's wrong? why are you sad?" she asked as she put her hand on his.
"Nothing is wrong Mum, I've just been having a rough time at work" he lied. He couldn't tell the truth it would destroy her already fragile mental state. She would probably call the doctors on Reid and call him crazy.
"Don't lie to me Spencer. A mother knows when her child is hurting" Diana said, Reid smiled at the comment. He should have known that he wasn't going to be able to get past her motherly instinct, that instinct had saved him as a child from Gary Micheals.
"Its just my life has changed and I needed to see you so I could tell you that I was sorry for never being there to take care of you. I should have been stronger" Reid said with sadness in his voice.
"Spencer listen to me. You took care of me and you are not weak, you are stronger than any person in the world. Your stronger than me and I have no doubt that you'll stay strong for those around you" she said holding her son's hand.
"Thank you Mum" Reid said, he bent down and hugged his mother. She hugged him back tightly, she loved her son so much but her mind never allowed her to tell him, she felt trapped in a void where nothing made sense. Its was strange that she had gone from her mind being foggy to crystal clear as soon as Spencer had walked in.
"I have to go and take care of some things but I'll be back I promise. I promise. I love you mum" he said as he pulled away from the hug.
"I love you too Spencer" she said in a motherly tone that made Reid not want to leave her. Spencer smiled at his mother before he left the lounge. The fog flooded Diana Reid's mind as her son left, she succumbed to her illness again.
Reid walked outside and back to the bench outside. He sat there looking at everthing around him and how colourful it all was, he was going to miss this the most, he enjoyed life but knew the chances of him returning were not in his favor.
I wanted to write this scene because I thought it would be something Reid would do.
My next chapter is going to be really long as I want to really move the story foward.
Please review - they are all appreciated and I love reading them.
