New Girl(A Spencer Reid/Criminal Minds Fan-fiction) BOOK ONE

Chapter Forty-One: Goodbye

"Marianne..." Spencer followed me as I combed the field. "Marianne. Stop!" He grabbed my arm.

"What? Are you ready to tell me the truth, because if not, I have a case to work on so if you could just-"

"I was at a Narcotics Anonymous meeting." I froze and looked at him.

"You...From..." He nodded. "How could you keep something like that a secret?!"

"I'm sorry-"

"No, Spencer. Did it occur to you that we're engaged? As in to be married? And you keep something like this from me?"

"I know it was wrong, and-"

"I don't think I can marry you."

"What?" I took off my ring and handed it to him, turning and walking away. "Marianne, Please..."

~~~Spencer~~~

"Garcia restored those e-mails."

"I'm sorting through them right now." I told him.

"Reid." I turned and looked at him. "You know your not the only one who identifies with him. YOu said I was a high school jock. I was. But not at first. MY freshman year I was five foo three. I weighed a buck twenty soaking wet so beleive me when I tell you I got my butt kicked, everyday. SO the following summer, I hit the weights. And I got lucky. I grew six inches. But it was never about vanity, Reid. IT was about survival."Morgan said.

"I was in the library, and uh...Harper Hillman comes up to me. And she tells me that Alexa Lisben wants to meet me behind the field house. Alexa Lisben's like, easily the prettiest girl in school."

"So what happened, Alexa wasn't there?"

"No, she was there. SO was the entire football team. They...uh...stripped me naked and tied me to a goal post. And Marianne told me this story...Her freshman year, this uh...Senior had asked her to this dance. She was excited. She went out and bought a dress and waited outside for this guy to pick her up. His girlfriend drove his car while he threw eggs at her. You see...That's part of the reason I like her so much. She understands what it's like. And...now I might have just blown my chances with her. What do I do Morgan?"

"I...I don't know what to tell you, Reid. I'm sorry...I don't know what to tell you."

Hotch left and Marianne came up to me.

"Marianne..."

"I don't think we should see each other anymore."

"Marianne, please-"

"No, Spencer. I don't want to be with someone who can't honest with me."

"I can." I told her.

"No, You obviously can't. This isn't the first thing you've kept from me, I'm not stupid."
"Marianne!"
"Goodbye Spencer."
