"THATS WHAT TRUE LOVE IS. ALWAYS WANTING THE BEST FOR SOMEONE, EVEN IF IT DOESN'T INCLUDE YOU."
•
Natalia sat by her friend's hospital bedside, trying to push all negative thoughts into the back of her head. The phone conversation she had with her father inched it's way back into her mind, reminding her of the fear that clouded her judgement.
She rested her hand on Spencer's and softly smiled. His eyes were closed and his breathing was steady, letting her know he was asleep. "This is my fault." She mumbled to herself. "I'm like the damsel in distress. I keep dragging you into these situations. Baruch won't stop until he has his hands on me, and he'll go through anyone to make that happen. You could have died in that crash, Spence. But you didn't. You got lucky. You might not have luck on your side next time... so this needs to be the end of it." Natalia shifted uncomfortably in her seat. "I'm leaving. I... I think it's for the best, I really do. You'll move on. You'll live a long and happy life, just... without me in it. This feeling in my gut is telling me to stay, but that's be selfish of me. I..." Her words caught in her throat, and she looked around the room with doubt. She leaned forward, pausing once her lips were next to his ear. "I think I love you, Spencer Reid."

Spencer's eyes fluttered open. It was still nighttime, and the only thing louder than his heart monitor was the cicada sitting outside his window. He rolled onto his side to get comfortable again, and saw something yellow on his nightstand. He leaned forward out of his bed and snatched it. It was a note written to him.
Goodbye, genius ♡ - Natalia
His heart contracted inside of his chest. Goodbye? He sat in silence, completely dumbfounded. His heart shoved his mind into a put of despair, and for once, he decided to be a bloody moron. He was going to find her.
