PART 1:
This is my first every fanfic I have published on here. Its a shame its not the first time I've used the website, I've been reading stories for a while now and have only just got around to finishing this one off.
This story is based on The Moving to New York Story line which we never actually got an on screen exit for. I hope it's good after reading lots of other fanfics based on Silent Witness that are beyond good I started writing this, I don't think it's that good. Please feel free to be as mean as possible if you don't like it but if you do like it leave a nice comment :D.
I would like to say that none of the characters in this story I own, they all belong to the BBC. (If I did I swear there would be more Harry and Nikki scenes with some involving more than just a quick kiss on the cheek/ forehead) i hope you enjoy this.

I'm moving to New York were the five words you wouldn't have expected him to tell you. You didn't know what to make of it, it was as if part of your heart had been ripped out, thrown to the ground and shattered into a billion pieces right there in front of you. Your best friend, solemate and secret lover was leaving you to go to the other side of the world and by the schemes of things you were the last to know.
You heard yourself say 'when do you leave?' you don't know why but that was the first thing to pop into your head, you would have preferred it to be something like why are you leaving you said you would always be here, by my side no matter what. You knew men never kept their promises to you. Why did you believe the words he had said? He was just another man but one you thought you could trust.
You don't know why you said that, you were cursing yourself wondering why you didn't say anything to stop him, to try and change his mind. Was that the best you could do? You were dreading the reply he was going to give you in the next few seconds. As he took a deep breath and swallowed he replied with the word tomorrow. You didn't know what to do with yourself, so you just stood there, staring at the ground with tears beginning to fall you couldn't look back up at him and meet his eyes so you spoke to the ground why didn't you tell me sooner? With that you began to head towards the door, you couldn't control the emotions you had building up inside you anymore so you headed towards the locker room and sat down leaning against the door.
Leo walked into where Harry was standing; he was dazed and staring at the ceiling, thinking about why he had just suddenly blurted the words out like that and didn't try to break it gently. He was trying to hold back the tears that were trying to escape his eyes it was as if he wasn't expecting that reaction when he had told her. He thought she would just say have a nice time and then casually see him off at the airport with a happy goodbye see you later sort of conversation. Leo knew the reason why she reacted the way she did, she thought she'd lost him forever in Hungary and would never see him alive again. She had got her second chance with him yet she never took the plunge into starting a romance, she thought it would ruin the friendship they had.
'Harry, why did you just blurt it out like that?' Leo said in an abrupt tone 'You knew she wouldn't take the news lightly.'
'I didn't mean.. For it to come out like that... 'Harry said between sobs 'I've been trying to find a way to break it to her gently. I've known about it for a couple of weeks now, I just couldn't bring myself to tell her'
'I know it must be hard for you Harry but don't you think you should have told her sooner than the day before you are actually going to leave? She must be so heartbroken'
'I know she must, it's been hard enough for me to make this decision, I don't need anyone else telling me what I should/shouldn't have done' with that comment out of his mouth he headed towards the door and slammed it shut leaving a stunned Leo in the room.
Thank-you for reading my first ever part of a fanfiction. The next part should be written and up soon, depending on how busy I am. As I said at the beginning please feel free to leave reviews. Even if you think its rubbish. You should get another update soon.
