Being laid up in bed, watching movies was what I had craved since the day I walked out of his life.
-
My phone started ringing bringing me out of my slumber. I looked at the caller I.D and saw 'unknown' flashing across the screen.
"Gilinsky," I answered but no one said anything back. I sat up carefully trying to not wake Nate, "Hello?" I said into the phone. This time I received a laugh. A laugh that I didn't know but I could tell it was danger.
"If I was you Ms. Gilinsky, I would watch my back and get out of that house," I could feel his smirk. I jolted out of the bed, ending the call, and shaking Nate awake.
"Nate get up!" I yelled while yanking him out of bed. Suddenly, I started to smell smoke, the smoke alarms where going off, and Nate was still laying in the floor.
I started shaking his chest to wake him up but I felt something wet on my hand. Suddenly I had my vest on. I shinned a light on my hand then down at Nate. I saw blood all over me, Nathan, and the bed.
I started to cry and cruse. I grabbed his arm. I pulled him out of the room and down the stairs.

"Savannah," Nate said while holding my arms crossed over my chest and he was hovering over me.
My eyes opened and I saw a worried looking Nate, concern plastered all over his face. He pulled me up and into his chest.
"What happened?" He asked. He tightened his grip around me when he realized I was shaking more and more every second.
"Just hold me. Please," I cried. He nodded and laid us both down. I felt so safe with Nate but I just continued to cry.
"Shh," he said into my hair, "it's over. All over pretty girl," he reassured me.
After about a half an hour I could find my eyes growing heavy. I slowly closed them and found my self back into a deep sleep.
But I still couldn't get the thought of Nate dying out of my head. I hoped that trying to fix things between Nate and I wouldn't get him hurt.

The next morning when I woke up, I hoped that I wasn't in bed with Nate, I hoped I was in my own bed at home, I was hoping that being back in Omaha was just another dream. I didn't want to be home and I didn't want to see the place where I broke Nate's heart.
But as my eyes fluttered open, everything that I had hoped was gone. I wasn't in my own bed, I was in Nate's, wrapped in his arms actually.. I was not in Virginia. I was in Omaha. All the places I wished never existed.
"Hey," Nate smiled as I looked up at him. I smiled back at him and he kissed my forehead, "Lets go grab some breakfast before you have to leave. We need to catch up," He smiled than stretched out his arms and legs.
I nodded than sat up, "I will go get dressed," I said. I swung my legs over the bed and slowly stood up. I grabbed some casual cloths and my tooth brush. I made my self disappear into the bathroom. As I went to the bathroom, got dressed and brushed my teeth, I thought of what I would be telling Nate when he asked about the nightmare last night.
My thoughts were interrupted when Nate knocked on the door and called my name. I opened the door and smiled at him, "Are you okay?" I asked and he nodded.
"Yeah, I'm fine but someone is here for you. He said it's important," He said. I gave him a funny look and walked out of the bathroom, "He showed me a badge if that makes you feel any better," He smiled.
I laughed and started walking down the stairs, "It really doesn't" Once I reached the bottom I saw Hotch standing at the front door, "Hey, what's up?" I asked.

After he explained things to me about the jet and how to get there I laughed, "Hotch," I laughed again, "I have been working with this team for four months now, I'll be okay," I reassured.
He looked at me seriously, "I'm serious Vannah, if they give you a hard time, call me," He said before kissing my head and walking out the door.
"Okay dad," I joked while closing the door behind him.
Nate walked up behind me and grabbed my waist. I leaned back into his chest and closed my eyes, "So you guys are pretty close?" He asked while resting his chin on my shoulder.
"Over the past four months that man has become like a second father to me and become my best friend," I laughed and I turned in Nate's arms.
"That's good," He smiled while looking down at me. In that moment, I felt like I was 17 again and Nate was still all mine whether Jack allowed it or not. Whether Nate knew he was mine he was. He has been mine for eight and a half years.
When I would come home from a tough day at school, Nate was there. He didn't even know it but ever since I was 15, he made me the happiest girl alive. But I don't understand, I broke Nate's heart, I left him and took his heart with me, I threw it in the corner and as the years passed, I continued to pile things on top of it.
and he's still forgiving me.
"Wanna go get some food now?" I asked. Nate nodded and grabbed my jacket along with his. I grabbed my jacket and thanked him while making my way to his car.

"So are you going to tell me about that dream last night?" Nate asked. I looked up and saw that he was staring at me.
"I don't really remember it," I lied. He nodded. I'm sure he knew I was lying. He knew when i was and when I wasn't lying to him.
"Savannah, If you don't wanna tell me, you ain't gotta," he said while taking another drink of his pop, "but I want you to know, I want to be committed to you again and I want to redo the whole relationship thing with you."
"That's where I get scared Nate," I said grabbing his hand, "I am a federal agent and I have so many people after me. Once they find out that you're the only thing that I wake up to, they'll hurt you in order to hurt me," I said just above a whisper, "I can't have that happen, Nathan because I'm still so in love with you."
"So what your telling me is there will never be an us again?" he asked while pulling his hand away from mine.
"I never said I didn't want you, because I do. After four years of beating my self up every time I heard about you guys I still never managed to get over you," I looked down for a few seconds then back at Nate.
"I am so in love with you Nathan. More then I ever planned to be," I said while earning a smile from Nate, "if we take another shot at this relationship thing, I need you closer to me. Like home wise."
"So that means me moving to Virginia?" He said with a questioning look. I nodded and he smile, "As long as I'm in the same house with you, I'm willing to do that."
I smiled, "I will pay for your flight out, I will pay for your moving fees as long as you bring your ass there," I said.
"Deal," he smile, "Let's get going," He smiled.
I got him back. I got back the love of my life and I couldn't explain how happy I was. Nathan was moving to Virginia, moving in my house, and this I was not giving up on him.
Nate and I paid the bill and started to drive towards the airport. I grabbed his free hand while he drove. A smile creeped on his face which hand me smile.
Mine.. All mine
