He was always an extra wheel.

Ever since joining the BAU he had become much better at making friends. He had Morgan, Garcia, and the rest of his teammates. And true to genius fashion he like being alone, he really did, but sometimes he just wanted to be around people, someone to share his thoughts with, his fears, his emotions. He wanted to be around someone who would joke around with him and make him laugh. Morgan had always been that person, ever since he met him, well once he got past Morgan's outer jock persona and appearance. Now, however, Morgan had found someone else. Someone he related to on a different level someone who liked to talk sports and such. Sure Morgan still hung out with Spencer, but it just wasn't the same.

When Spencer was feeling down he generally went and talked to Garcia. He felt he could share his feelings with her in a way he just quite couldn't with Morgan. However Garcia had Kevin now who was someone to whom she related to on a completely different level than Spencer. They had attraction and similar interests; talking about things he had no interest or knowledge, Spencer just couldn't complete. They were always in each other's offices so most of the time Spencer had to find her if he wanted to talk. Unfortunately for him she would drop everything, even a scheduled meeting with Spencer, if Kevin came calling, saying she would talk to Spencer later, if it weren't too much trouble. Later never came, she never remembered, or something else always came up. She never realized why Spencer was so down on these occasions and he never knew how to tell her. He had always been bad at expressing his feelings.

Whenever the team went out he was always the last one asked and they never went anywhere he felt remotely comfortable so a lot of time he would opt out and just stay at home, watching re-runs and movies he seen countless times, just thinking.

They all claimed they liked him, but he felt he rarely saw it. He could slip from a room unnoticed for hours at a time, if he came back at all. They never came looking for him.

He wished they would.

Thus he was left alone. Left alone with his thoughts, his doubts, his sadness, and he knew nothing but his friends could chase them away, but it seemed all his friends ever did was throw gas on the fire and fuel them.
