Title: If You Were Mine
Pairing: Nick/Sara
Summary: Sara found a bunch of love notes dedicated to her. From whom could they be? SNICKER!
Sara Sidle was not in a good mood. She just had a break up from hell with a guy she had been dating for 5 months. She really thought he was sincere and cared about her. But no, she caught him banging with one of his ex-girlfriends. When she caught him, she felt like her heart was squeezed mechanically, shattering it into pieces. She felt worthless but that was not something new. She felt just like that when her father hit her mom and she almost became one of his victims but her mother put a stop to that. Then in high school she was just the geek that no one wanted to be friends with. When she finally got her first date, all the jerk wanted was her body. Then when she was no longer the awkward, shy girl in high school she was still used by stupid jerks. She felt like giving up on true happiness because that will never happen in Sara Sidle's life.
"Hey Sara," said Nick entering the locker room. Sara was sitting on the bench not in the mood to talk.
"Hey," said Sara solemnly not even lifting her head up.
"What's wrong?" asked Nick. He knew Sara for a long time and he knew something was bothering her. Especially since she was dating with this Chris guy. He did not like him and he never will. He was just concerned about Sara but mostly because he had more than brotherly love towards Sara.
"Nothing, I'm fine," said Sara pointedly. She did not want Nick to find out about her break up. She felt really stupid because she was fooled so easily. She fell for Chris' sweet gestures like sending flowers to the lab and his sweet words. She never thought she was one of those woman that fell for those things but apparently she was wrong.
"You don't fool me, Sara, please tell me what's wrong, I want to help."
"I don't need your help, Nick, and haven't you heard of minding your own business?" snapped Sara. Nick backed up a little but he was not fazed. Sara may looked cold and stubborn on the outside but he knew she was just trying to act tough.
Sara realized she was too harsh on Nick, so she started to apologize.
"Nick, I'm sorry, I'm just a little stressed out," said Sara looking at Nick.
"You have to tell someone, you can't bottle everything up, it's not healthy," said Nick tucking a stubborn curl behind Sara's ear.
Sara just sighed. She really did not want to tell Nick but she knew Nick would help her.
"It's about Chris."
"The DA you've been seeing?" asked Nick as if he did not know who Sara was talking about.
"Yeah."
"What did he do?" asked Nick.
"Well, I went to his house and I caught him sleeping with another woman," said Sara with tears in her eyes. She did not know why she was crying, she did not even love the guy. But it still hurt when someone you trust betray you just like that.
"Oh Sara, I'm so sorry, he's a stupid jerk and he's not worthy of you, you deserve so much better, Sara," said Nick taking her in his arms.
"Why does this always happen to me, Nick? Am I so disgusting that no one would ever love me?"
"Sara, you're wrong, I think you are the most perfect I have ever laid my eyes on, you deserve all the love in the world," said Nick hating all the men that have made Sara think she was so hard to be loved.
"Even my own father did not love me, Nick, how could anyone else love me?"
Nick just held on to her tighter in the hope that will stop her doubt herself. He felt like telling her right there and then how much he loved her and if she was his, he would never make her sad or feel like that anymore.
"Nick, I think I just wanna go home," said Sara. Her cries subsided into sniffles.
"Come on, let me take you home," said Nick taking her hand in his.
"That's okay, I can drive my Denali," said Sara.
"I insist, Sara."
"Okay," said Sara admitting defeat.
Nick felt helpless. He loved Sara more than anything in the world and he wanted to do everything he could to make Sara happy and prove to her that she can be loved. He had to do something or he would miss his chance to be happy with Sara.
One week later:
Sara was heading towards the locker room at the end of shift. She was recovering from her recent break up and Nick really helped her through it. He spent more time with like taking hr to breakfast, going out for movies and he even cooked dinner for her once. Sometimes the thought of if only she had a man just like Nick struck her mind but she just brushed it off because she thought he was just being a good friend and nothing more.
Sara opened her locker to take out her things when a lavender coloured envelope fell out of it. Sara just looked at it curiously and looked around to see if someone had seen that. But no one was in the room. She picked up the envelope and started opening it. Inside there was a letter written:
Everything I dreamed about If you were mine,
Everything that I talked about
One thing I can't live without
I wanna get closer to you
Can't stand being far away
Knowing that you don't feel the same way
watching him bring tears to your eyes
I'd be your everything and you be the only thing that I would ever need
If you were mine,
I would tell everyone that you are the only one that I could ever wantAll words I sing about
All the letters I write about
Only thing I wanna hear about
Is when I get closer to you
I know that there is someone else, but he's only thinking of himself
Doesn't make any sense for you to be lonely
I hope your heart is open for a chance to be happy, Sara. Remember, there's always a person in this world that loves you more than anything.
Sara had to read the letter a couple of times before the realization of she just got a love letter really struck her. Even in high school she had never received any love letter. The mystery person behind this letter really bugged her. She was clueless on who would do such a thing. The thing was, almost everybody knew she was dating the DA and had broken up recently. So anyone in the lab could have sent the letter. Sara just put the letter in her bag and went home.
"Maybe it was just a prank."
