Spencer knew it was childish, but he couldn't stand it You and him had been dating a few years ago, while for you it was one of the relationships that marked you the most, he only had you there, he didn't really take you into account, and you were only there to give him some support and affection when I needed you, then nothing more
after a big fight, he broke up with you, boasting that he didn't need you and that you were not the love of his life at all, which, perhaps, was somewhat true, since after you came Maeve
and God, with Maeve he was a gentleman, they spoke through calls and letters, those six months that their relationship lasted, until the day she was murdered in front of him, without him being able to say "I love you" to her o even hug her
Forgetting about you was easy, fast, like simply erasing something from his eidetic memory, but, nothing is erased from an eidetic memory As soon as Maeve arrived, your presence faded from him like smoke fades into fog, until the last 8 months
You started working at the BAU as a child criminologist, and he hated that you were there, since seeing you was like that bucket of memories returning to his eidetic memory, and remembering how even at home he had gifts that he never gave you and he thought about give it to Maeve, but it didn't arrive
His defense mechanism was to isolate you, to try at all costs to treat you badly, trying to make others make you empty and be able to avoid your invasive presence in the memories of the love of his life, he knew or believed that Maeve was the love of his life and, he wanted only her to be in his memory but damn, you were so sweet, with everyone, since you were very sweet and kind, one of the sweetest people he knew And today he was already tired, before you leave, being almost alone, he take you by the arm and talk to you for the first time in 8 months
"fall in love with someone else"
"what?!"
"Fall in love with someone else, reject me, I’m with someone else, do the same..."
