This is my first fanfic. Ever so wish me luck and review! :)
Lie To Me does not belong to me nor does any of the wonderful characters in it
Gillian hurried out of his office. She couldn't take it any more. She had to leave. She couldn't stand to be in a room with them any more. How could they do this? She felt like she was suffocating. She had to leave.
Cal rushed after her. She was already by "The Lightman Group" sign by the time he caught up to her. He reached for her wrist but she yanked it away and turned around. He could see the unsheathed tears forming in her eyes and the anger and hurt hidden beneath them. Damn it! he thought What do I tell her? What can I tell her?
She took a deep breathe and slow exhaled. She was doing her best to control her emotions.
"Did you know?" she asked
"Gill, I..." He couldn't think of what to say all he could do was read her. Read nothing but hurt in her features. In her eyes.
She raised her hand to the side of her head and ran her fingers through her hair. She took another deep breath, still trying to keep her tears at bay. Breathe Gill, just breathe.She looked at him and could see her own hurt mirrored in his eyes. She asked again.
"Did you know?"
He didn't respond. He couldn't.
Gillian felt the anger slowly crawl into her.
"Did you Fucking know, Cal!" she yelled, a single tear fell from her eye. Her breathing becoming labored.
He'd never heard her say the 'f' word before. He looked at her noticing her shaky breathes as she was trying to compose herself. He traced the single tear as it fell from her jaw to the ground. What the hell do I tell her? He glanced over her features again. God, she even looks gorgeous when she's crying? Okay, that won't make her feel better. I need to tell her something. Think man! Think! He still couldn't respond. He didn't know what to say. What would make this okay? What could he tell her that would make things alright after finding out something like that? He didn't reply.
She turned around and went to the elevator. She pressed the button to close the door and didn't glance up to look at Cal as the doors closed. As they shut, she slide down the back of the elevator. Raising her knees to her chest, she raised her hands to her face and cried.
Cal slumped to the side of the wall next to "The Lightman Group" sign. He looked up, closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He was hurt too, he was angry... at himself... for her. He balled his fist. He couldn't take it. He punched the "L" of the sign, shattering it as his knuckles started to bleed.
