Reid's POV

As I sat in Garcia's 'Temporary' Layer. I thought about what I had told her. She seemed to react to it okay. Better than I thought she would. So as I sat there behind her, and watched as she struck the letters on her keyboard, I thought about Derek. Things were going to be different now. Much different.

"Reid?" Garcia said, as she turned around towards me in her chair.

"Yeah?" I said, lowly looking up at her.

"What are you going to tell Derek when you see him again?" I shook my head. I felt drained. All this fighting, and worrying has taken a lot out of me.

"I honestly don't know." She shook her head in understanding.

"It's going to be okay Reid." I gave her a small smile. "Yeah. I guess." My phone started to ring. It was Hotch. "Yeah. Hotch?" I said, as I answered. "Reid. We need you in the bullpen." "Alright." I said, as I hung up the phone. I gave Garcia one last smile. "Gotta go." She waved me good-bye. "My door's always open Boy Genius." I laughed. "Thanks." She laughed too, and I left the room. Coming back into the bullpen, the first person I saw was Rossi. He didn't seem to have those same judging eyes that he had held just minutes ago.

He seemed more sadden now than anything. I looked away from him. I took a seat on the edge of the desk on the side of me. "Okay. So lets go over what we found out today." Hotch said, looking us over. "Well. Reid and I found out that Blake was bullied." Emily said, as she nodded her head towards me. "Yeah. By three boys from the school. The principle said, that they took time out of there day to mess with him." "Alright. Rossi. What about you and Morgan? What did you guys find out?"

"Well. We found out, that Mike was a manipulator. Who knew what to say or do to make the kids cooperate with his needs." "Yeah. But I could feel that they were hiding something from us." Morgan said, as he walked into the bullpen. Everyone looked at him, but me. "Yeah. Like what?" Hotch asked. "I don't know. But there's something there." He nodded his head.

"Alright." Morgan took a seat on the other desk on the other side of me. I tried my best to not pay any attention to him.

"Lets all go, and take a break. Meet back here in about two hours." Everyone started to get up.

"Hey Reid?" Emily called, as I started to walk towards the stairs.

"Yeah?" I said, turning to her.

"You okay? You seem kinda down."

I shook my head.

"I'm just kinda tired. I'm going to go lie down for a bit." She shook her head. "Alright." Making my way to the hotel we were staying at, I fall onto the bed. It felt so good. I took in the scent of my pillow, and slowly dossed off.

Derek's POV

After Reid walked out of the bathroom, I leaned against the wall and cried. I wish it didn't have to come to this. I wish I cold have just told him the truth as why I had to leave him. I don't want him to leave the BAU. Then this all would have been for nothing. Nothing at all. Once I got control of myself again, I walked out of the bathroom. My mind was jumbled. I didn't know what I was going to do next. As I just stood outside of the bathroom for a while. I thought about what Reid said.

And he was right. Everything he said was true. I couldn't just keep using him. I had to tell him. I couldn't put him through anymore hurt. He deserved better than that. So once we were back in Quantico, I would tell him everything. Walking into the bullpen, I could see that everyone was sitting around exchanging information about the case. All of my attention was focused on Reid, until Hotch called my name. I would have to take my mind off of him. I would have to focus on the task at hand. Our relationship problems would have to wait. But as I looked at him walking towards the stairs, he looked so tired. I could understand fully as to why. I sighed, and headed for the elevator. I needed a drink.

I know it's short. But I wanted to give you guys a little something to ease your minds for a while. This is my busy week. So I might not update anymore this week.
