I'll be the wind
I'll be the wind
Sara slipped into her apartment; tears rolling down her cheeks after her boyfriend, Brian had broken up with her. She had thought that he loved her, and she had loved him so much that it hurt, physically hurt. She knew that her coworkers had become concerned with her, as she had changed so much after she began dating Brian. She had changed to please him, changing the way she dressed, the way she looked, and the way she acted. Mostly at work she shined, being the real Sara, but whenever Brian came around she became quiet, shy and, dare she say it, submissive.
Yes, submissive. Sara's cheeks burned with embarrassment when she realized what exactly Brian had done to her. He had turned her into a submissive, shy woman, and exact opposite of what she really was. Sara locked her door and collapsed on her sofa, crying for what could have been with Brian if he hadn't dumped her and if he hadn't been such a controlling jerk. Sara's tears coursed down her cheeks when she realized that those were the exact words that described him. That was what he was.
A controlling jerk. And she had dated him, blindly ignoring all of his faults.
You let him lock you away in his prison of sadness
It's up to you to decide where tomorrow will lead
If it's time to be leaving your burdens behind
I could be just what you need
Suddenly, a knock came at the door. Sara didn't answer, thinking that it was Grissom or someone from the team. Then, she heard Brian's voice, saying,
"Sara, baby, open the door, please?"
She ignored him. Big mistake.
The door burst open, with Brian standing there, his fists raised and an angry expression on his face. She shrank against the couch and then swore at herself, standing up tall and staring him right in the face.
"Why didn't you answer!" Brian shouted, and Sara replied calmly,
"Because I didn't want to." Brian stepped closer to her and gripped her shoulders with his hands, squeezing hard. Sara winced inside, knowing that it would leave a bruise. She listened to him rant for a while, and then mustered up all of her strength and drew her fist back, swung it forward and connected it with his face. He stumbled to the side, and then growled,
"That's it. You are going to get it." Sara recognized the tone, the tone that said he was going to hurt her. She dashed to her bedroom and slammed the door shut, hoping that she caught some of his fingers in the process. She locked it and leaned against it while she dug for her cell phone.
As much as she hated to admit it, she was scared. And she needed help before Brian did hurt her.
I'll be the wind
I'll be the highway
I'll be your midnight friend
And we'll fly away
When you come across the courage
To spread your wings again
I'll be the wind
Her fingers tremble while she hit the last person that had called her, who just happened to be Grissom.
"Grissom."
"Grissom, it's Sara." Sara said, trying to keep her voice from shaking.
"Sara? What's wrong?" Grissom demanded, and Sara cursed her voice.
"I'm, I'm scared." She admitted in a whisper, and there was silence on the phone and then she heard a car start up.
"I'm on my way, Sara, are you at home?"
"Yes." She whispered, and then he said soothingly,
"I'm on my way, Sara, it's all right."
"No it's not! One of my old boyfriends is here and I think, I think," Sara trailed off and Grissom demanded,
"What, Sara? You think what?"
"I think he's gonna hurt me."
"No he won't, Sara." Grissom said, ice in his voice.
"But…"
"No. I won't let him hurt you. He will not hurt you. Just hang on, Sara, I am on my way."
"Okay." Sara whispered, and then added,
"Hurry, Grissom, please." She hung up quietly and then sidled over to the window, preparing in case he busted through the door.
The door shook as Brian slammed into it, but it held. The next time he slammed into the door it quivered and Sara knew that one or two good shoves would break through it. She raised the window sill and swung one leg over it. She chanced a quick glance down and breathed a sigh of relief. The bushes that were always under her window were still there. Then, Brian busted through the door and Sara slid out of the window, with Brian screaming at her in frustration. She landed in the bushes and lay there, dazed. The next thing she knew Brian was reaching for her with an ugly grin on his face, and then he let go of her and disappeared. Confused, Sara sat up and saw Grissom, Nick, Warrick, Greg and Catherine all standing there, guns drawn and aimed at Brian, who had his hands in the air, saying,
"Sara just fell out of her window, I was coming to help her, right Sara?" He glared at her, and the anger coursing through her erased her pain, hurt and fear and she stood up, swaying a little and said bitingly,
"No. You were going to assault me, and I was preventing that from happening."
"You lying broad!" Brian screamed at her and jumped at her. Before anyone could move Sara socked him in the stomach, and he dropped to the ground, clutching his stomach. A few officers came up and cuffed him, and took Sara's statement. When she finished, the team was still staring at her.
"Keep staring, I might do a trick." Sara said, wrapping her arms around her stomach and the team laughed.
Warrick and Nick slung one of each of their arms around her shoulders and she smiled. When they backed off and went to go home, and Greg clapped Sara on the shoulder before hitching a ride with Nick. Catherine gave the younger woman a quick, reassuring hug and then hitched a ride with Warrick. Sara watched them go and then felt a hand on her shoulder. She turned to see Grissom standing there, looking at her with concern in his eyes.
