REQUEST: Imagine Spencer thinks you are cheating on him, and the team basically turns on you when he tells them.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I open my apartment door after hearing the precise three knocks known to me to be my boyfriend Spencer's knock. As I open the door I smile excited for him to finally meet my brother, though I wish for them to be under better circumstances then his apartment building burning down and almost losing him. My heart clenches at the thought that I almost lost someone I love.
I smile up at Spencer as he briefly hugs me, "I wasn't expecting you till later." I say to him. Spencer smiles widely "They're showing Solaris tonight, the original in theaters, wanna go?" He asks excitedly.
I smile and nod my head "I'd love to go with you Spence!" I open my mouth to ask what time when I hear my name being called behind me. I turn my head as my brother yells from the bathroom. "Y/N can you grab my bag and leave it outside the bathroom door?"
I turn back to Spencer to tell him about my brother staying with me. When I look up at him my smile drops from my face when I see the expression on his face. He turns without saying anything and leaves my apartment. I curse in my head and quickly follow him out of the door.
"Spencer wait!" I yell as I chase after him. He ignores me and keeps walking away. I groan out loud and reach out and grasp his hand. He jerks his hand out of my grasp and glares down at me. My heart squeezing at his actions "Spence I swear it is not what you think! That's m.." Spencer cuts me off with a scoff and crosses his arms "I really don't want to hear your excuses Y/N! It's pretty clear what is going on, and to be honest I'm so glad this can finally be over." I softly gasp at his words and feel my eyes water. "What do you mean?" I ask. He rolls his eyes at the break in my voice. "Come on Y/N I only ever asked you out because Morgan bet me I couldn't get a date with the cold and detached agent Y/L/N." He says with a cold tone.
I feel the breath leave me and stare at him in disbelief, "You only asked me out as a bet?" I ask with a quiver to my voice as I feel my tears threaten to spill over. He glares down at me before turning and walking away leaving me standing in the hall heartbroken.
A sob escapes me as I quickly turn back to my apartment and rush inside slamming the door shut and sliding to the floor with my head on my knees. My heart hurts, my head hurts, and I feel so stupid for falling in love with Spencer Reid.
I feel arms wrap around me and I lean into my brother and sob. He shushes me and gently rocks me in his arms. "It'll be okay Y/N, you just gotta wait for him to cool down and explain to him what's really going on and who I am. I don't think he meant what he said to you. From everything you have ever told me about him he loves you as much as you love him." I wipe my eyes and shake my head. "You didn't see the look in his eyes when he said those words to me, he meant them."
I look up at Bro/N and involuntarily let out a wet laugh when I see him in my pink bath robe. He chuckles "You never did grab my bag for me to get changed so I had to improvise when I heard you crying." He says.
I sniffle and stand up wiping my face. "I should go talk to him, he needs to know I would never hurt him or cheat!" I go to walk out of the door when my phone rings, I look at the caller I.d and see Emily's name on it. I quickly pick it up. "Em" I say but before I can continue she interrupts me. "You never deserved Spencer, how could you cheat on him and try to make excuses?!" I open my mouth to respond to her and defend myself when she coldly says "We're profilers how did we never see how rotten you were for Spencer, just a cold hearted bitch."
My lip quivers as I hang up on Emily so I don't have to listen to her words anymore. I look to my brother and smile sadly. "I don't think Spencer is going to listen to me, or anyone for that matter." I walk past him and to my bedroom, I shut the door and crawl into bed and close my eyes letting the tears soak into my pillow. My phone rings two more times from the other BAU team before I shut my phone off.
~The Next Morning~
I wake up with a headache and itchy eyes. I sigh and stare up at my ceiling debating getting up or not. I look over at my phone that is still shut off and close my eyes tightly. I reach over and turn my phone on. I lay it on my bed and gather some clothes and towels before heading to the bathroom to have shower.
When I enter the bathroom and turn the light on I stare at myself in the mirror. I look like absolute shit, my face is pale and my eyes are red. I look away and start the shower, I let out a big sigh and groan as my head pounds. 'it's going to be a long day' I think to myself.
After showering I feel a bit better and once I am dressed I leave the room and reenter my bedroom. I look at my phone and pick it up, I have 7 missed calls from various members of the team, none of which are from Spencer. I sit down and click on the first message from JJ. I don't even get through the whole message before hanging it up again. If all the messages are even close to what that one was I don't want to hear it.
My phone rings and I cringe when I see it is Hotch calling. I answer the phone, "L/N" "Y/N? We got a case, wheels up in 30." I frown at the thought of being around the team and Spencer. "I'll be there." I say before hanging up. I quickly grab my go bag and head out of my room. I stop in the kitchen where Bro/N is cooking at the stove. "I got a case, I may not be back tonight." He turns to me and quickly hugs me. "Please be safe, and try to talk to that boyfriend of yours." I sigh at his words. "i'm not so sure he's even my boyfriend anymore, and from the various voicemails from my teammates i'm not even sure they count me as family anymore either." Bro/N frowns down at me, "They just need to hear the truth, it's all a big misunderstanding." I smile at his attempt to reassure me, I wave goodbye to him and leave.
~time skip~
Entering the plane I feel the air grow tense as several glares are directed at me, I look down and quickly sit in a seat far enough away from the others. Hotch walks past me and as he does he hands me the information folder. I sit for the rest of the trip with my face buried in the file trying to ignore the uncomfortable feeling bubbling up in my chest at the way the others are periodically glaring at me or completely ignoring me.
Once we arrived at the precinct i'm paired off with Rossi, one of the only members besides Hotch who hasn't shown any hostility towards me. I don't feel much for conversing so we work quietly together going over information from the files the police have gathered. I can tell he wants to say something to me but I don't think I have it in me to have this conversation right now. I walk away from him and find the lead detective on the case to ask a few questions.
~~~~
All day I've been treated with cold shoulders and the odd snide remarks from Morgan or Prentiss. That mixed in with the concerned looks from Hotch and Rossi i'm ready to go home and not see the day of light for a month. With the case wrapped up and the unsub found and taken care of we head home.
On the plane back to Quantico I sat alone, Hotch had stopped briefly to discuss some paperwork with me but he's asleep now, just like the majority of the plane besides Rossi and myself. I sigh and get up to make myself some tea, hoping it will calm my nerves a bit. as I walk past Rossi he reaches out and grasps my arm. "I'm here if you ever need to talk." He whispers quietly. I give him a sad smile and nod before continuing into the kitchenette area. Hidden behind the curtain I can feel my resolve crumble a bit. I tilt my head back and blink rapidly trying to blink back my watering eyes.
I take a deep breath and turn to leave with my tea, as I go to push the curtain aside Spencer walks through. I freeze as he looks up and sees me. He doesn't say anything. "Spencer please can I explain myself to you? I swear it wasn't what you thoug.." he walks past me without saying anything and completely ignores me. I look down at the tea in my hands feeling the warmth seeping into my skin. My chest hurts as I quickly walk out of the area and past Rossi who gives me a sympathetic look. I sit down facing away from the others and drink my tea quietly and alone, feeling as though I've lost a part of myself with that final interaction with Spencer.
~1 Month Later~
I feel my anger simmer as I storm past the team and up the stairs towards Hotch's office. It's been a whole month of being ignored, ridiculed, and belittled by those I should call my team, who I once called my family and trusted above all else. I need to do this for myself and I know it's going to hurt but I need out. I knock on Hotch's door and before he can say anything I storm in and shut the door behind me.
Hotch seems shocked and opens his mouth to say something but before he can I slam the papers down on his desk stopping him. He picks the papers up and briefly looks at them before snapping his gaze back to mine "Transfer papers?" He asks in disbelief and I nod my head once and cross my arms over my chest defensively.
Hotch stands from his desk and walks around it and stands in front of me "Y/N please reconsider you're a great agent and part of this team." He pleads. I shake my head sadly. "I want out Hotch, please sign them." Hotch gets a sad look in his eyes and gazes at me "I know what happened between you and Spencer was difficult but..."
I interrupt him before he can continue and snap at him "What's difficult is being treated with hostile attitudes in the work place by my own team! What's difficult is my ex boyfriend apparently only started dating me because of a bet with Derek fucking Morgan! What's difficult is that everyone is calling me a whore and a heartless bitch all because I offered my apartment to my brother because his fucking apartment building caught on fire and he almost didn't make it out! I really thought I had found my second family here, people I could trust, people I loved and thought loved me as well!"
I can feel my eyes begin to water as Hotch stares at me in shock. "Y/N did you try explaining this to the team or Spencer?" He asks and I shake my head sadly. "They won't give me the time of day, I've tried to explain to Spencer and the others over and over again and honestly I can't anymore, I need to start new, with a team I can trust to have my back."
Hotch steps closer to me and places his hand on my shoulder "You need to talk to them Y/N, it's all just a misunderstanding." He says softly and I can't keep looking him in the eyes. I look away and sadly smile "They lost me Hotch and there is no getting me back after how they treated me."
He opens his mouth to speak but I shake my head and feel my tears finally spill over. "Aaron don't make me go over your head on this, either sign my transfer forms or I'll go to Strauss and she'll do it for me."
I can see him caving and he reluctantly nods before going back to his desk and signs my transfer forms. "I'm sorry things turned out how they did, I'll miss you Y/N you were a great agent and an amazing friend."
I feel my composure cracking even more and let out a soft sob as he walks back around his desk and pulls me into a hug.
I hug Hotch tightly as my tears wet his suit jacket and I can feel my heart break all over again at losing a family, but maybe not all of them.
~2 weeks later~
It's my last day and I can already feel a weight being lifted off my shoulders. It's been a long two weeks of constantly being ridiculed by my own team, the hatred in their eyes everyday tears a new hole deep inside of me that I know will never heal. The worst of it all is that Spencer doesn't even seem like he cares that we are no longer together, perhaps this was just an out for him and he has been wanting to leave me but didn't know how to break it to me. Perhaps he never truly did love me.
I'm finishing up the last of my files when I hear my name, I turn my head and catch a glimpse of my brother. I smile brightly and get up as he reaches me and pulls me in for a hug.
I can feel the air grow tense and the burning gazes of the team as they watch us. I ignore them and smile up at Bro/N.
"What are you doing here?" I ask him and he smiles back at me and shrugs his shoulders. "I'm heading back home today and thought I'd stop to say bye and thank you for letting me stay with you while everything got figured out at the insurance office."
I scoff and shake my head "You don't have to thank me for that! I'm just happy you're safe and nothing happened to you! Now what time is your flight anyway?" I ask.
"Not for another hour but I just wanted to double check that you're sure you don't want to come home with me?" He asks for what must be the hundredth time, he knows how things have been going at work but I already told him about my transfer.
I laugh and shake my head "As much as I love mom and dad there is no way in hell your dragging me back home to live with them! And while you're at home tell mom to stop going through my old boxes, the things she keeps finding and sending me pictures of makes me cringe!"
I can hear the soft gasps of my team behind us but I ignore them.
He shakes his head sadly and frowns down at me "Are you sure you're gonna be okay?" He asks me softly and I smile sadly up at him and nod "It's my last day anyway, after this I'll be transferring over to anti-terrorism"
There's choked gasps and sputtering behind me when the team hears that I am leaving that day! I feel a vindictive glee wash over me as I link my arm with Bro/N "Let me walk you out I'm almost all done here and I'm sure Hotch is okay if I say goodbye to you then come back up and clear out my desk"
As we leave the bullpen I can just glimpse the looks on my former teams face through the glass door reflection but I ignore it and leave.
As Y/N and her brother leave, Hotch comes out of his office after watching everything unfold. He shakes his head at his team and frowns down at them "You really broke her, all of you lost her trust and her friendship, she put in the transfer two weeks ago, its finalized and it's her last day today." He leaves them at that and goes back into his office.
The team all shift and glance at one another. They feel shocked and dismayed at what has unfolded before them. Not only were they terrible to you it was all a misunderstanding, they said such horrible things to you!
Spencer is especially shocked and dismayed, he lost the most important person in his life because he wouldn't let her explain herself. He can feel his heart breaking all over again, but this time for Y/N, not him. He said so many things to you that he wishes he could just take it all back.
The teams thoughts are interrupted as you reenter the bullpen.
You unintentionally make eye contact with some of the team who seem to have something to say but you shake your head. "No! I will not listen to anything any of you have to say to me" You turn to your desk and start to clear it out but you can see them shuffling in your peripheral vision and before anyone can speak up you snap at them. "I'm serious! I never want to hear anything from any of you again! You burned every single bridge to me and I refuse any apologies you might have, I really wish you the best in life but none of you are welcomed in mine anymore. I trusted you all! You were my family and I loved you! But I honestly wish I'd never transferred to the BAU in the first place, I regret ever meeting you people!" With that I pick up my stuff and storm out of the bullpen and into an elevator never to be seen again.
