5 Years AgoCOURTNEY'S POV-

I ran down the street my feet pounding the asphalt. I have to get away from him! I thought frantically. All of a sudden I ran into something at first I thought it was a street lamp but I realized it was a man.

" Are you alright miss?" he asked a worried tone to his voice. I looked over my shoulder and shook my head no. " My name is Dr. Spencer Reid with the FBI. Who are you running from." I bit my lip.

" My boyfriend." I said. I tried to turn when I heard said abusive boyfriend call for me.

" Get back here you stupid slut!"Chase yelled. The movement of turning sent shots of pain through my side. I groaned and dropped to my knees.

" Ma'am! Ma'am!" Spencer Reid got to his knees beside me. " Morgan call 911! Ma'am. What's your name. miss?" His brown eyes looked truly worried.

" C-Cou-our-tney K-Kirk." I stuttered. The pain was too intense I blacked out.

3 days later///

I woke up to a strange room. Hospital, I realized. I looked around and saw Dr. Reid beside me.

" Welcome back Courtney. How are you feeling?" he asked. I groaned. " Don't worry your boyfriend will never hurt you again." I nodded blinking back tears.

" Thank you Dr. Reid." I said.

" Spencer, please, call me Spencer." He corrected. I smiled.

///Future////

It had been2 yearssince that day and I was having lunch with my friends Alice and Blake. I had kept in contact with Spencer. Truth be told I was in love with him. I didn't tell him of course. I was singing with my radio.

" That ain't my perume. I bet she had a curfew. You told me you were out with the boys and baby I believed you." I sang loudly.

" When was the last time you talked to Dr. Reid?" Alice yelled over me and the music. I smiled.

" So why you looking so nervous, you knowyou probably deserve this. I oughta kill you right now and do the whole world a service." Alice rolled her eyes.

There was a knock on my door I jumped up and ran to seewho it was.It was Spencer. I opened it. " Hey Spence."

" Hey,Courtney." he said. " Look I was wondering if you would like to go to dinner with me tonight?" I bit my lip I HATED the idea of boyfriends since stupid Chase.But Spence did comeALL this way to ask and I owed/ loved him....

" I'd love that."I replied smiling.

" Great, I'll pick you up at 7." after he left i turned to Alice.

" In answer to your question the last time I spoke to Spencer was about 30 seconds ago." I laughed.

THE DATE

I had a great time with Spence.

" That was the best date I've been on Spence." I told him.

" It's the first I've been on."He saidblushing. I got lost gazing into his big brown eyes.

" I love you." I suddenly blurted out. I blushed. OMG did I really just say that! Spencer looked shock and then his warm lips crashed down on mine. I sighed and sunk into his arms.

That was3 years ago now I was dancing with Spence at our wedding reception.My head was on his chest and I couldn't stop smiling. All of a sudden my favorite song came on.

If I die young, bury me in satin

Lay me down on a bed of roses

Sink me in the river at dawn

Send me away with the words of a love song

Spencer was singing the words in my ear.

Lord make me a rainbow, I'll shine down on my mother

She'll know I'm safe with you when she stands under my colors

Oh, and life ain't always what you think it ought to be, no

Ain't even gray, but she buries her baby

The sharp knife of a short life

Well, I've had just enough time

If I die young, bury me in satin

Lay me down on a bed of roses

Sink me in the river at dawn

Send me away with the words of a love song

The sharp knife of a short life

Well, I've had just enough time

I starte singing too.

And I'll be wearing white when I come into your kingdom

I'm as green as the ring on my little cold finger

I've never known the loving of a man

But it sure felt nice when he was holding my hand

There's a boy here in town, says he'll love me forever

Who would have thought forever could be severed by

The sharp knife of a short life

Well, I've had just enough time

So put on your best, boys, and I'll wear my pearls

What I never did is done

A penny for my thoughts, oh no, I'll sell 'em for a dollar

They're worth so much more after I'm a goner

And maybe then you'll hear the words I been singing

Funny, when you're dead how people start listening

If I die young, bury me in satin

Lay me down on a bed of roses

Sink me in the river at dawn

Send me away with the words of a love song

The ballad of a dove

Go with peace and love

Gather up your tears, keep 'em in your pocket

Save them for a time when you're really gonna need them, oh

The sharp knife of a short life

Well, I've had just enough time

So put on your best, boys

And I'll wear my pearls

" I'll never let you die young, my love." Spencer told me. I kissed him passionately
