I Never Said Goodbye

Chapter 1: I Can't Say

I can't say that I was young when I gave him up. I can't say that I couldn't support him. I can't even say that I didn't have enough time for him.

So why did I give him up? Well… I gave him up because he looked like his father.

I know it sounds stupid. And I wish now that I hadn't done it but you don't understand the situation. If you had been trhough what I had, you wouldn't want to look at that face either.

He had his father's eyes, his smile, his hair… Everything. I just… I couldn't take it.

So I gave him up. I guess if I wanted to make a better case for myself, I could say that I wasn't in the best emotional state. But I see no point in sugar-coating it.

For years, I thought about going straight to the adoption agency and finding where he was. But for some reason, I always talked myself out of it.

However, I should've expected this. I should've expected that 18 years later, Eric Sidle would show up on my doorstep. And I should've expected that he would want to know everything about Greg Sanders.

AN: Dun dun dun! This is my first CSI fic so go a little easy but be brutally honest, if you can do both. Anyways, please R&R! P.S. The chapters will get longer.
