Re: Crime Of Passion
Sara stared after him, her lower lip trembling as she fought to stop the tears from eascaping their confines. But she couldn't hold it back any longer, her heart tearing in two as she dropped onto the chair, burying her face in her hands and sobbing, tears sliding down her cheeks freely.
She couldn't believe he'd done this. He'd shown her how perfect they could be, he'd given her so much false hope, and then taken it away without so much as a "thanks, it's been fun". She'd never had her heart so well and truly stomped on by any man, and had always thought herself too strong and independent to stoop to the level of women she'd seen crying when their boyfriends left them. But this was different. She'd given him everything, laid it all on the line for him, her heart, body and soul, and he'd disregarded it with no emotion showing whatsoever.
That was it, he'd pushed her too far. Standing up on unsteady legs, she stumbled toward the door, hellbent on making the pain go away. She didn't even tell anyone she was leaving. She just walked out and headed for home, sobbing the whole car drive.
When she arrived home she collapsed onto the sofa, spending half an hour just crying her broken heart out and hugging a cushion close to her. Eberyone she trusted, loved, in her life betrayed her or broke her heart. At that moment, she was wishing she'd never met Gil Grissom - she loved him so damn much regardless of what he did to her and she felt empty and broken when he messed her around so much, yet she was powerless to stop her heart yearning for him.
Dragging herself to the kitchen, she pulled out the alcohol she had stored away. She'd promised herself that morning when she'd left his that as soon as she got home, all the alcohol was going. She used it as a safety net for times like these when she felt she was being crushed by emotions greater then she could handle. But she'd been so blissfully happy that morning, lying in his arms, that she felt like nothing could ever hurt her or cause her...as much pain as she was feeling right now.
Back to the sofa, she unscrewed the lid and proceeded to drink until she fell into unconsciousness - the only time she could get away from the pain of a repeatedly broken heart.
Catherine had seen her leave but had tried to get on with her work. After an hour, she was anxious. She went to find Grissom, wondering if something had happened that she wasn't aware of. When she'd first seen Sara rushing out of the lab, she'd figured there had been some breakthrough, but as she'd contemplated that, she knew that if there had been, there would have been a big call out for all the involved CSIs to be out...but there wasn't. The only one out of the lab was Sara.
Catching up with Grissom when she eventually found him, she just knew there was something wrong. He looked in a kind of daze - absent, distant - and she had to call his name a few times for him to even acknowledge her.
"Grissom...what's happened with Sara? She ran out of here distraught...are you alright?"
She asked worriedly, not sure whether to mention anything pertaining to their relationship. She didn't exactly want to say what she really wanted to, "what did you do?" because she knew that wouldn't be received very well. After all, it could be Sara's fault...not likely though.
((Wow, long post lol. And wouldn't this be a great time for Danny to get involved?! lol *hint*
Btw guys - maybe we could make our posts a little longer. I'm not saying this long cos I've gone a little OTT here but please, more then 1-liners. Remember "CAT" lol. Character, Actions, Thought. It makes it SO much easier for someone to reply to you with a good post if they have SOMETHING to reply to.))
