In Another Life-Spencer Reid

Pairing: Spencer Reid x Reader

Word Count: 2080

Summary: You and Spencer have been together for nearly a year. In a surprising turn of events, you find yourself looking for a way out.

Warnings: cheating (sorta), breakups (sorta)

Request: Can you please do an imagine where your dating Spencer Reid and you find out about Maeve, and you don't know how to end things✨✨

Note: I'm not sure if you wanted Maeve to be a thing of Spencer's past or something that is currently going on like he is talking to her. I made it that it is currently going on because I don't think I could write a reader who would leave because of what happened to Maeve. I also couldn't write a Reid who would get involved with someone when he was still mourning someone else. I know that means that Reid is sorta cheating, but I could see him justifying it more than any other scenario. I hope you like it and it is what you want.

Also I don't know about you guys, but I feel like this could do with a second part. Let me know.

You were just reading a book settled deep into your bed with a warm blanket thrown over your legs. You occasionally sipped your tea just enjoying the lazy Sunday.

Spencer, your boyfriend of a year, had gone out earlier that day saying he was headed to the bookstore. He had been saying that for a few weeks now, and you knew that he was lying. There was not a doubt in your mind about that.

You knew Spencer. Before the two of you started dating, you had been close friends. You learned over all the years of knowing him that he rarely lied, and when he did, you could tell. The first time he told you he was going to the bookstore on his day off, you could tell right away.

You never pressed him about it. You figured that he would tell you eventually, but eventually never came, so one day you followed him. You didn't understand the whole payphone thing right away, but you heard a bit of the conversation. After that, it was pretty clear. Spencer was in love with someone else.

Knowing Spencer, he hadn't meant to fall in love with this other person on purpose. Hell, he might not have even realized it until it was too late. He might not even realize now, but you saw the way he looked when he talked to her. To Maeve. Knowing her name just made it worse because it reminded you that she was real. You couldn't ignore it. He had fallen in love with someone else.

It took you about two weeks to really understand that and another week after that to know how to deal with it. Your bags were packed and you were ready to go. You were just waiting around, hoping that it would change, that he would come home, that he would love you again.

You set the book down on your bedside table and stood up from your spot on the bed. After fixing the blanket smoothing it out, you picked up your now empty cup of tea gingerly. You looked around the bedroom one last time trying to take everything in. To remember it as it was now.

You had been living in this room for nearly three months now. It was yours not just Spencer's, but looking around it showed how little you really had changed it. From the time you met Spencer to now, the only addition to the room was a small picture of the two of you next to a picture of his mother on the dresser. In two strides, you stood in front of the smiling couple. You were happy and in love with each other.

Picking up the picture, you gave the room one final sweep before exiting and closing the door behind you. You walked over to your bag and set the framed picture inside. Afterwards, you turned toward the kitchen to take care of your tea cup.
