Well, what can I say about this one...
Here's the next chapter:
“NO! It’s not that part! It’s the part of knowing that I have to watch you die!”
“Sara, I…”
“Don’t say anything!”
<Five minutes left>
“Sara, I want you to know this. I love you, I’ve loved you ever since you first spoke to me and my love for you never disappeared. No one could change the way I feel about you, not Terri, not Sophia, not even Heather. Sara, you are the one I want to share the rest of my life with, may it be only five more minutes…”
Sara laughed, she must’ve found my last remark funny, while it wasn’t even intended to be that way…
“Grissom, ever since I first spoke to you I’ve loved you. I’ve tried to get you to go out with me for years, and recently I tried one last time. When you turned me down that time, my world collapsed. I tried to kill myself, and you saved me. It might seem weird to say this, considering that we’ll die a terrible death in about five minutes, and I could’ve died without experiencing pain, but I’m so glad you saved me. Even if we had been together for only a day, or an hour, it would have been worth it.”
I looked at Sara again, she was so beautiful. Her perfect face, her hair, although she knew what was going to happen to her in just a few minutes, she saw a psychopath kill himself, she had been kidnapped, although all those things, Sara still was beautiful. My life flashed past me, well, my moments with her, the first time I saw her, the first time she asked me out, the “pin me down” and “tape me up” moments, I saw all those moments again.
<Two minutes left>
“What are you thinking about?”
“oh, nothing” I answered, lying..
“Grissom, don’t lie to me now that we only have two more minutes left to live.”
“I’m sorry, I thought about how beautiful you are and I saw all the perfect moments we spent together…”
“Are you afraid of death?”
“Yes, this isn’t the way I wanted to die…”
“I was scared before, but now I can live with the fact that my life is going to be over extremely soon. Shit! That wasn’t the right way to say that…”
I laughed, this was one of the reasons I loved her so much, she could be so fed up with herself if she did one tiny thing wrong while in fact she did a great job.
“Sara, it doesn’t matter”
“Do you believe in heaven?” She asked me. This was difficult. Before all this, I was sure there wasn’t something like heaven. If a human died, we died, period. Now, on the other hand, I wasn’t sure anymore. All the experiences I went through the last weeks, they changed me.
“This is probably the stupidest answer I can give you, but I don’t know… I don’t know if there is something like heaven.”
Sara smiled, I want to know what she thought about.
“Well, if heaven exists, I hope they accept couples…”
We both laughed, I think we did it to make the idea of dying easier to accept.
<30 seconds left>
“Sara, I love you more than anything that exists on this world, are you sure you don’t want to press that button? I totally understand it if you decide to do it…”
“No!”
I swallowed, that was my last chance to save the woman I loved.
“Sara, I’ll always love you, goodbye and I’ll see you in heaven…”
“Grissom, I’ve always loved you. Goodbye and I hope to see you in heaven.”
When she said that, we looked each other in the eyes, I saw it was right. This was the way it was going to end and I decided that it was the way I wanted it to end.
I looked at her for one more second, it felt like ten minutes, and after that…
After that I was blinded by a white light while screaming Sara’s name.
