When you were a young child and growing into your early teen years you had always dreamed of the perfect wedding. Having the big venue, inviting all your friends, having bridesmaids, the white dress. Eloping had never crossed your mind. Until Spencer Reid asked you to be his wife and not waste another day. Everything went by so fast but you knew it wasn't a mistake.

You walked into the bar, Spencer had already gone in a couple of minutes ahead of you. Telling everyone that you were married to Spencer was something you and Spencer had decided to take slow. Considering the timeline between Spencer breaking things off with Max and the both of you eloping, it didn't look so... rational. So you were trying to find a way to let everyone know.

"Y/n hey" Garcia announced handing you a shot

"Actually I'm not drinking tonight" you glanced over to Spencer's seat and gave him a look "I'm going go get some water, I'll be back"

You walked away and heard Spencer say he was going to the bathroom. You walked away from the booths and over to a spot of the bar where the team wouldn't see you. You leaned against a wall and waited.

"What's up" he walked over to you and rested his hand on your forearm

"Max is here"

"What" his eyes widened

"She's over there" you pointed over to the girl drinking and flirting with the guy next to her, you felt awful

"Should we leave?" he dragged his hand down to hold your hand

"No, I-I don't know I feel like apologizing" you looked up at him, frowning

He just looked down at you, confused. "Well if your boyfriend left you for another woman and got married in that same week, you would be pissed too. Probably drinking away the pain as well." you pushed yourself off the wall

"Well she doesn't know that"

"Trust me, she knows" you chewed on your bottom lip "She probably doesn't know about us getting eloped but she definitely knows that you left her for me. I'm going over there"

"Is that really a good idea" Spencer didn't let you go

"Probably not but I don't know, it feels like I made my life better by ruining hers" you shrugged

"Fine but I'm staying close" he let go of your hand and leaned against the wall

You nodded and slowly made your way over to her and stood next to her. She looked at you and rolled her eyes. "What do you want"

"I just wanted to talk"

"Fine" she agreed quickly "Let's go outside I can barely hear"

"Okay," you grinned and followed her out the doors. You didn't understand why she agreed so quickly, you assumed she was probably going to yell at you and didn't want to cause a scene inside. Honestly, you felt like you deserved being yelled at

Before you exited the building Spencer had followed behind, he was far enough not to interfere. The cool breeze hit your face and you shivered a little. It was getting colder. Max stopped in her tracks and turned around to face you. The both of you were down the block face to face

"I just wanted to apologize, I know he was going to propose to you, and instead he-" she cut you off

"He left me for the person he told me not to worry about" her tone was filled with sadness but her eyes showed her true rage

"And I feel horrible about it I-" you stopped talking when you were met with a slap across the face, you drooped your head to the side and removed the hair that had fallen on your face "I probably deserve that" you groaned
