chapter 16: funeral, part 3

After carrying and placing his mothers coffin to her lot, Reid stood back and let the service take place. The vicar said a few words and read passages from the bible. It was now Reid's turn to say goodbye to his mother in his own words. When Reid heard his name being called up his whole body froze. He had the speech in hand yet he could t move from the spot. Hotch seeing that Reid was in no state to say what he had prepared, grabbed the bit of paper and made his at to the front. Reid still frozen just stood there.

"I will be speaking on behalf of today. Here are some words that he prepared about his mother." Hotch announced. "Many of you here today knew Diana Reid. Some of you may of remembered her for her intelligence, others may of remembered her for her brutal honesty; but I remembered her for the person who was consistently been there for me. Even though my mother had episodes and couldn't always be there for me, I always knew she loved me. She was the person who taught me the love of knowledge, she was he person who taught me that I'm fine the way I am and I shouldn't listen to people who try to bring me down. My mother was my inspiration, despite her illness she tried her hardest not to loose herself. She was there for me when I needed advice, a shoulder to cry on or someone to share my achievements with me. For her just being Diana Reid makes me incredibly grateful to be her son." Hotch finished. There wasn't a single dry eye in the small crowd of people. This was when the body was lowered into the ground. Reid stepped forward first. He dropped a dark pink rose on his mothers coffin, then picked up a handful of earth and threw it on the coffin. He had specifically picked dark pink as they were a symbol of thankfulness, and he was forever thankful for his mothers life. After dropping the earth, Reid felt cold rush through him. Mounds of earth would soon cover the coffin his mother was in and over time her body would rot and decompose. Without noticing he slowly backed away for the small crowd and when he was right at the back he turned around and ran.

Reid ran as fast as he could. Once out of sight and a very good distance from the service he sat down on a bench, and let the tears fall from his eyes. His mouth started to tremble he was crying so much, as much as he told himself to stop; he simply couldn't. After a good ten minutes, Reid heard footsteps coming towards hi. He didn't bother turning around to see who it was nor did he bother to even try and dry the tears falling from his eyes.

"I've got to hand it to you kid you are fast." Came Morgan's voice.

"I justt c-couldn't do it anymoreee." Red stammered.

"Ssshhh sssh, it's okay reid, I really don't blame you, you've been so brave my junior G-man." Came Garcias soothing voice.

As much as these words were comforting to Reid it didn't stop the tears. Morgan came and sat down next to Reid, whilst Garcia perched in front of him.

"do you need a hug?" Garcia asked kindly. Reid just nodded. Instantly Garcia wrapped him into her arms and squeezed him tightly. They sat like this for a good five minutes before Reid finally broke away.

"Thank you." He croaked.

"Kid, you need to stop thanking us okay." Morgan said gently. Suddenly reid felt hot and dizzy.

"I don't feel to good." Reid said. Penelope feeling his forehead gasped.

"Your burning up. I think we should get you back to he hotel. The service has finished." Garcia said concerned. Not arguing reid got up and followed Morgan and Garcia to the cars. The odd tear still escaped from Reid's eyes but he had calmed down a lot. When they finally reached the team, they were looking at him worriedly.

"Reid there you are. What's wrong." JJ said, knowing that something wasn't quite right.

"He's not feeling to good." Morgan replied.

"I think we should get back to the hotel." Rossi suggested. When no one disagreed the team slid back into the cars and headed to the hotel. Reid was completely exhausted. He's eyelids felt heavy and he felt slightly delirious.

"You know I've learnt something." Reid slurred.

"what's that?" Emily asked.

"That we should all live our lives to the full because you never know what could happen. One day you could be perfectly fine and the next day you could be in a hospital bed. So we should all love and cherish each other like we wont love tomorrow." Reid said heavily yet he let his eyelides drop and he was welcomed to a deep dreamless sleep.
