Sneak Peek to the Past

Song: Scars - Lukas Graham

My peaceful sleep wasn't longer than I expected because Vic is talking asleep, doesn't make any sense what she's saying, I can't understand, not even a word, are just murmurs. She's frowning. I can tell she's having a nightmare.

- Hey baby, wake up -I shake her a little but nothing- Vic, baby -I try again a parting the hair from her face- Baby come on -she finally open her eyes looking terrify. Her eyes meet mine and sigh of relief hugging me. Once her face is buried on my neck she starts crying- It's ok, baby. I'm here... I'm here. Nothing is going to hurt you, it was just a dream -I tell caressing her back. She separate staring at into my eyes, cutting the distan kissing me, I correspond cupping her face with my hands. When the kiss is over I smile at her- Do you wanna talk about it?

- How... How do you know if someone is completely dead? -she ask and I frown.

- What do you mean, baby?

Victoria POV

I sigh thinking for a moment. That dream was terrible, I dreamed about the girl, when I shoot her and when I got closer I found that I shoot Spence. Was horrible.

- I mean... When my friend and I had the accident, she was at my side I touched her neck like I see people do, she had pulse, but then medics said she was gone and I didn't understood why. Also with Patricia, the girl I shoot, I touched her neck and there's not pulse but then you did it and you found there was. I'm really confuse -I tell him frustrate staring at my fingers playing with the fabric of his t-shirt.

- Oh! Emm... That's because... Ok let me explain it easier -he make a pause- with your friend, it's probably that when you felt her pulse she was still alive. With this girl, Patricia, for the nervousness you may touched in the wrong place -I listen carefully what he's explain.

- Wait, but I felt here -I put my hand on his neck like I did before with the girl.

- I see -Spence grab my hand in his- baby, you're not feeling the right way -he adjust my fingers- you need to do it like this -putting the two fingers positioning over his neck close to his jaw bone- Are you feeling it?

- Yes... Yes I feel it -I smile staring at his beautiful eyes- Why is faster now? -I ask.

- That's the effect you cause on me -my cheeks turn in a light pink. He cuts the distance between us connecting our lips in a sweet kiss- Let's go back to sleep -Spence kiss my forehead and hold me close to him. With my head on his chest listing the heartbeats I fall finally in a peaceful sleep.

We're heading to a Starbucks, Spence wanted to go out for breakfast. He said I need to relax and free my mind from worries before the interrogatory.

When we arrive, walk to the counter to ask our orders. A girl comes, a with perfect smile moving her lava colored hair side to side and blinking like there's not tomorrow.

- What can I have you, honey? -she says talking directly to MY boyfriend ignoring my existence.

- Baby, I want a spinach, feta & cage-free egg white wrap and caramel macchiato -I tell him grabbing his tie pulling down to kiss his lips.

- Of course, baby -he chuckles- Give me that and I want the sandwich with cheesy and bacon and macchiato caramel as well -the girl sighs rolling her eyes and I smile victoriously. She give us a number saying that someone would take our orders to the table- I can tell someone got jealous -Spencer tells me giggling.

- I'm not. It's just that girl was staring so much and... I have to keep safe what's mine -letting out a laugh and he joins me.

The breakfast was amazing, we spent a good time together, not thinking or stressing, just the two of us knowing better about each other.

The lava girl comes back again to the table to give us the bill and I'm already rolling my eyes.

- I hope you come back soon and alone, handsome -she talks so him in a position she shows more than people need to see. She caress his arm and that's it, my patience go away.

- Hey, bitch! leave my boyfriend alone -I take my glass and throw the rest of coffee over her. I grab Spencer's hand running out of the coffee shop.

- Stupid girl! You're going to pay for this... -the girl yell make a scandal gaining attention of people that start taking photos.

We hop on the car, laughing uncontrollable.

- Her face was epic -Spencer comment- She didn't expected.

- That happen when you mess with Victoria Riddle -I say in a "serious" tone wearing some glasses I spot in the car.

- Wait! We didn't pay -he says with wide open eyes.

- Don't worry, Mr perfection -I giggle- they won't notice with all the situation. Also, that girl already did so much, the food is house invited.

- You're a bad influence to me -he denies.

- Someone needs to take the genius boy out of the comfort zone sometimes -I smile.

The drive to the BAU office was short because when the laughs ended I start think about what questions they gonna ask me. I'm nervous and anxious. Spencer take my hand interlocking our fingers, giving me a squeeze to make me know that I'm not alone in this, that he's with me.

Walking through the door glass again remember me the first time I came busting. I hope anyone take that out. Everyone notice our presences getting up to come and salute us.

- Looks like the Pretty Boy found his Pretty Girl -Matt comment. I blush for the comment.

- You already told them, Rossi -Spence ask.

- How can I keep that good news for myself? -he says making giggle.

- Little birds! My unicorn friend -We turn watching Penelope coming out his office. She got closer and hug me hard.

- Pen, I don't breathe -I say laughing.

- Oh! Sorry -she smile separating- you need to tell me everything.

- All was so cute. He prepare a picnic, so beautiful and... -Spence cut me off.

- I'm right here you know -the young boy say.

- We know -both say staring at him.

- We need to do a girl night. You're part of the family now -Penelope says so exciting.

- I hate to interrupt the moment but we need to start the interrogatory -Agent Prentiss says from up stairs. I bit my lip in sign of nervousness. Spencer took my hand squeezing it- Come, we gonna do it in my office -I nod walking to her with Spencer following me.

- Spencer can come with me? -I ask with a shaky voice.

- Yes, of course -Emily says with soft gesture.

We got in the office and Emily indicate us to sit in the couch as she close the door.

- Well, Victoria. I'm gonna ask you a couple of questions. We already interrogated Patricia Fray and talked about a girl called Karla Black, who passed away 3 year ago in a car accident, in May 20th. Fray keep saying that was your fault. We need to understand and figure out some events that don't make sense -I feel the color leave my face.

- Karla... Karla... She was my best friend. I was in the car accident. -I take a deep breath trying to control myself.

- I want to make a cognitive interview to get all the information we can obtain to give the information to the courts so they can sentence the years in prison for her -I let out a deep sigh nodding.

- Come, baby. Lay down and relax -I lay resting my head on Spencer's lap- close your eyes and listen to Emily, concentrate in her voice -I nod following his instructions.

- You were in the car, with the music loud, laughing. Was day or night? -Emily begging talking.

- Was night. Late, late night -I answer.

Flashback

Karla and I decided to go to the bar and take some drinks. Like we always do, when we were bored at home.

We drove to the place, it was full of people, loud music, screaming. Almost the all guys there were around our age. Some cute guys talking with us while we where in the bar drinking vodka, were our favorite. The guys took us to the dance floor. We spent an amazing time there but we drank a lot, so irresponsable from me because I'm who was going to drive us back home.

When I felt more "sober", we decided to go home because was pretty late, almost 4 am. We hop in the car and I start driving. In the middle of the road a car came in the wrong direction, then... All went fast... I tried to skip the car but hit the left front light sending us to the side, rolling till we impact on the tree.

- Karla... Karla -I called for her. I'm in pain- Are you ok? -she doesn't respond. She cover in blood, something is sticking out of her torso, I can't see what is it because my vision is blurry.

- Karla, please. Respond -I cry shaking her. I touch her neck, she have pulse- Karla, please. Don't leave me -I say crying. Suddenly a car stop a man come running kneeling down.

- I already call an ambulance -he said- What's your name?

- I'm... I'm Victoria... Victoria Riddle -I tell him- Please help my friend -I beg.

- I'm gonna help you out, ok? -the man take a knife out cutting the seat belt helping me out.

- Help my friend -he nod and he takes my friend out and I pull myself close to her, that when I see the thing nailed in her, it's a piece of glass, she's bleeding a lot.

I put the glass out putting pressure on the wound, my hands starts to wet in her blood, there's a pool with her blood.

- Come on, Karla. Everything is going to be ok. -the tears roll down my cheeks like a waterfall- Where's the fucking ambulance?! -I say coursing- I'm sorry, this all my fault. I had to pay more attention to the road. I'm sorry, Karl -control the sobbing wasn't in me anymore- We have so much to live. We're going to travel to Ireland remember. We're gonna have baby at the same time in the future. We're gonna do so many things together. Please don't die on me -I put all the pressure I can.

The ambulance finally arrive and I want to course them for take too long but my energy is almost over. I let them work but it was too late.

- She's gone -the paramedic announce.

- What?!! No no no -I sit at her side taking her hand- She was alive -I shake her- Karla please, don't do this to me -nothing happen.

- Girl, we have to take you to the hospital -someone says.

- I'm not leaving her here -I hug my best friend body crying my life out- I'm so sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. This all my fault -I part the hair from her face.

- Girl, we need to take the body and you out of here -the medic grab Karla and other got me out.

- NOO. NOO. I NEED MORE TIME NOO PLEASEE. LEAVE MEEE -I scream fighting. They have to sedate me.

A tear fall from my eye. The pain in her voice, the way her features changed in while she talks.

Victoria open her eyes sitting up looking around, breathing so fast. She's having a panic attack.

- Baby, calm down -I hug her- Breathe, baby. Breathe -I take her hand and place it on my chest- Follow my breathing. In and out -I make exaggerate breathes getting her to follows me. Suddenly she calms down resting her hand on my shoulder.
