Hey, I'm useless, I know I'm just trying to get into my other story 'The start of something new', but I'm a bit blocked at how to write what I want with it, and the idea for this just popped into my head at work today.

Disclaimer: I own nothing.

Everything happens for a reason.- after the events of Living Doll/ Dead Doll, certain things happen/ have happened, what do they mean for Catherine and Sara, and where will it lead them?

This is obviously C/S, so if you don't like, last chance to turn back


Chapter 1

They say everything happens for a reason.

And now I think I kind of understand why they say that. I mean take me for example... 2 months ago I was nearly killed- kidnapped, put under a car and left to die by a lunatic named Natalie. I escaped the car and then nearly died from the heat and dehydration from the desert. So, why would this happen to me?

This is my thought...


I had been with Grissom, my partner, for almost two years, had a 'crush' on him for years before that. I thought that I was happy with him. When we finally got together I thought that the piece of me that was missing would finally be filled. I would be whole. I mean I left San Francisco for Vegas all because the guy called me and asked me to, I just upped and left.

Would I do that for somebody I didn't love? Or want to love? I didn't think so. And so I came to Vegas, and every so often Grissom would show me a piece of what life with him could be like. He then turned me down after I asked him out, but every so often I got this glimpse of the feelings he must have had for me.

Anyway, eventually we got together. I finally had somebody that liked me for me, didn't care that I was a super-geek, and laughed at my humour. I liked him, I always had done. We got on so well, I knew him, he knew me, the perfect life?

Which brings me to my point. Everything happens for a reason.

Whilst I was stuck under that car, fighting for my life to get out, walking across that desert, there was only one person who entered my mind. There was only one person who I was thinking about. I needed to get out, just so that I could see them again. Somebody beautiful, strong, independent, funny and amazing. And that person wasn't Gil Grissom.

I eventually passed out from exhaustion, and was found by my colleagues Nick Stokes and Sofia Curtis. I will be forever grateful for them spotting me. I don't actually think I've properly thanked them yet, but I will.


I woke up after being inserted with drips and god knows what else in the air ambulance. I woke up to Grissom, and something felt wrong. I smiled slightly, as much as my injuries would let me, and he held my hand. I was grateful to be alive, to be there, to be safe, but I felt somewhat disappointed that it was Grissom in that copter with me. I'm strange I know, who wouldn't want their boyfriend with them in a moment like that?

So, I sat in my hospital bed two weeks later, confused as hell. I mean, I was happy before this 'accident' happened, for once, I was happy with my life, I loved Grissom. And now it just all feels wrong.

All because of the person I kept thinking about whilst I was trapped under that car.

I'm putting on a happy face, but I just don't feel happy at all. Its been two weeks since my accident, I have flowers, cards and teddy bears from all of the guys, Warrick, Nick, Greg, Brass, Sofia and of course, Grissom. But there is one of my colleagues who I haven't seen, hasn't been in to see if I'm okay, hasn't sent me a get well soon card. This one person happens to be the one person whom I cannot stop thinking about, it's pretty sad really, I am in a relationship, I was perfectly happy, and now I can't stop thinking about a woman who doesn't even care about me enough to stop by and see how I'm doing, I mean I nearly died.

The guys give me a quick kiss and leave, they all have work and visiting hours are over anyway. Grissom smiles at me, and says: "I love you Sara, I'm so glad you're okay, you have all of these people who care deeply for you, you're going to be fine."

All I can do is smile and nod, I can't say it back to him, I can't tell him I love him anymore. As he leaves I sit in my bed and cry myself to sleep.


Please review, I love reviews.
