SEASON 8.
back in 2005, you and spencer were best friends, you was an FBI agent with him, you was attached at the hip and nobody could separate you ever, well.. that was until your mom got sick.. she was diagnosed with stage two cancer, and no treatment would work, so she had roughly a year left, so you made the decision to leave the BAU, to be with your mom, but sadly leaving spencer behind..
when you left you didn’t know the impact that it actually had on spencer.. he fought to keep your desk available, in hopes you’d come back, agents came and went, nothing could fill the hole you once filled, nobody was as good, as funny, as kind. nobody was as quick to sacrifice themselves as you once were, spencer had kept a photo of you on his desk and would talk to it, telling it about his day.
eventually your mom did pass away, you held a small ceremony in honour of her, you knew the day would come, but you still cried. you had just lost your mom, she was your last family member.. you have nobody left, but other than that, life was good out of the BAU, you could relax without having the worry of being kidnapped by a killer.
8 years later, you was playing with your 3 year old son, his father left when he was born, you loved him! but what you didn’t know was that spencer was spiralling because his girlfriend got shot in front of him, hotch knew what he had to do, even though he didn’t want to, he promised he wouldn’t call, but you was the only option, spencer wouldn’t leave his apartment or answer his phone.. so hotch calls you, basically begging you to come back.. hotch never begs, eventually you give in, and finally take your spot back in the BAU, but spencer hadn’t came to work in a month because of his loss.
you make your way to spencers apartment, taking a deep breath before raising a hand to knock gently on his apartment door.
