Disclaimer: I don't own CSI (naturally), The All-American Rejects or their great song Swing Swing. I really don't own much except the computer…

Okay, I know I have to finish another story but I just wrote this and have to post it to see if it's okay!

This is a song fic I've had on my mind for ages now. Every part of the song is meant for a character. If you know me then you know what couple will end up together in the end! Please R&R!

Grissom has just sat down in his car and tuned on the radio. He wasn't sure what radio station was on, and frankly he didn't care. As he listened to the lyrics he couldn't help thinking about Sara and the past weeks.

Days swiftly come and go.
I'm dreaming of her.
She's seeing other guys,
Emotions they stir.
The sun is gone,
The nights are long,
And I am left while the tears fall.

After a lot of thinking he and Sara had gone out to dinner. One dinner turned to two and after a while they didn't bother hiding it from anyone, they were a couple. But in some way Grissom knew it had always been something wrong. Sara didn't seem happy, she seemed uncomfortable. Slowly they both realized what was happening. Sara didn't love him anymore.

Did you think that I would cry,
on the phone?
Do you know what it feels like,
being alone?
I'll find someone new.

Sara was driving home from a night at the lab. She was tired and slowly she turned her attention to the song that was playing on the radio. After just a few seconds she was drumming her fingers on the steering wheel. Her mind jumped between the songs lyrics, Grissom and (did she dare think it?) him…

Swing, Swing from the tangles of
My heart is crushed by a former love.
Can you help me find a way
To carry on again?

Sara had always known she didn't fit in with Grissom. She'd gone after him because she thought that was what she wanted. And for some time, a long time ago, it was. But as the years passed she started doubting he would ever feel the same way and found something else. Another love, another kind of love too, in on of her best friend. But since she never told him, Sara was pretty sure he didn't feel the same way.

Wish cast into the sky,
I'm moving on.
Sweet beginnings do arise
She knows I was wrong.
The notes are old,
They bend, they fold
and so do I to a new love.

When Grissom did ask her out, she was too surprised to do anything else than to say yes. But her mind was somewhere else than with Grissom, they drifted away down the hall to that special him, wondering what he'd do if he knew. After that night two weeks ago she'd been doing a lot of thinking. Two weeks since she's been with Grissom now and she was so ready to move on, she'd been ready even before she went out with him.

Did you think that I would cry,
on the phone?
Do you know what it feels like,
being alone?
I'll find someone new.

Sara started out the road. She should tell him… Even if he turned her down, she just couldn't keep this secret anymore. The song was getting to her. Sara stopped the car, then turned around and drove to his house.

Swing, Swing from the tangles of
My heart is crushed by a former love
Can you help me find a way
To carry on again

He had just gotten home from work. He was tired as he dropped down in his couch and sighed. He had seen the looks Sara and Grissom had given each other. Everyone at the lab knew it was over between them, but to him that didn't mean much. He'd had feelings for her since day one, but she obviously had feelings for Grissom. Sure, they flirted at the lab, but could Sara ever feel the same way for him as he felt for her?

Bury me (you thought your problems were gone)
Carry me (away. away, away...)

Swing, Swing, Swing from the tangles of
My heart is crushed by a former love
Can you help me find a way
To carry on again

Sara tuned of the engine and started at the front door of his house. She took a deep breath as she stepped out of the car. 'You can do this Sara, c'mon! Just be brave.' She thought to herself. As she knocked on the door she noticed she was shaking slightly. Sara could hear noises behind the door. Suddenly the door opened and she stared into those gorgeous eyes. He smiled at her and she finally took the courage to say:

"Hi Nick."
