Chapter 46
I don't own Criminal Minds. This is a sort of bridging chapter but I hope this isn't too boring. I think you will only get one chapter this week (from tomorrow) because I am going on holiday on Wednesday and won't be back till next Thursday. So you will probably only get one chapter next week too. Sorry about that.
"Come on, Reid. Don't die on me!" Garcia cried. She didn't know I could hear her and could feel the pain take a hold of me.
My eyes were still full of darkness and pain was slowly coming back to my body. "Come on, you have to wake up. Come on." Garcia sobbed.
I fought to open my eyes as she continued to sob. It was like I was fighting against the dark. I hated it.
Garcia started intensely crying. That's when I felt tears falling onto my left cheek. The water from the tears seemed to melt the pain down a little.
I started to blink open my eyes and saw an inconsolable Garcia kneeling next to me. The light was hurting my eyes but I was determined to keep them open.
I could see what Morgan meant when he said she needed me. I strained my voice to whisper "Garcia," It seemed as if my energy I had was drained just from saying one word.
But it worked. Garcia's eyes flickered as she turned. Her long black eyebrows had gone in the direction which the tears were falling. From her eyes were long smudges of mascara. She looked so sad but relieved.
She hit me on my arm and said "Don't ever scare me like that again!" She laughed as the fear seemed to leave her. "How do you feel?" She asked still with apprehension in her eyes.
"Like shit, still. Everything will be alright I promise. I saw…" I said quickly as the pain seemed to subside slightly and Garcia had brought some energy to me.
"Do you think you will be ok today?" Garcia interrupted.
"What? " I asked as I had a memory blank.
"You know, Reid. Today is the day of your mum's funeral and we are leaving later. After your mum's funeral." She said.
I had forgotten but I knew she was dead. But had forgotten it was her funeral was today.
I felt a tear come out of my left eye. "I don't know. But I am going anyway. I would rather she had someone at her funeral. I don't care if I have to crawl to her funeral, I am going!" I said.
I wasn't happy that her funeral was today. I knew I wouldn't hold it together but I knew she was in a better place. Morgan, Maeve and my mum were all in a better place.
"Come on then let's get back upstairs and get you changed. The funeral starts soon!" She said as she pulled me off the floor and put a hand on my back.
Getting up made me all dizzy and I couldn't keep my eyes locked on a point. It was as if the world was spinning so fast that my head couldn't keep up.
"Don't worry, I've got you!" She said as she tightened her grip on to my body. She seemed to know what to say and when to say it. Garcia was definitely an angel! But even angels aren't perfect all the time!
