Ring ..ring..

Catherine rolled over and reached for the night table, and grabbed the ringing phone. "Hello" she answered her voice unclear. " Hello" she said again when no one replied, Catherine looked at the caller id screen..

"Damn it Eddie leave me alone" she slammed the phone down and rolled back over and tried to go back to sleep when the phone rang again.

Catherine picked up the phone and slammed it down not bothering to check knowing damn well who it was. Seconds passed before the phone rang again, this time Catherine let the machine pick it up.

"Catherine? Catherine sweetie I need you, I can't live without you, I can't do it, I' tried and it's so hard I need you and I need Lindsey, I want to be a family again, please pick up the phone." Eddie begged

Catherine picked up the phone " Eddie, if you don't stop calling me I'll get a restraining order, it's over you have to live with that, nothing is goign to change my mind." and she hung up.

Knowing she wouldn't be back to sleep for a while, Catherine got up to check on Lindsey and make sure the phone had not waken her.

Lindsey was still fast asleep in her bed when Catherine went in and covered her with the blankets and kissed her forehead.

Catherine made her way toward the fornt door to double check that it was locked and did the same with the window and the back door and then made her way back to her bedroom.

As soon as she flicked the light off and climbed under her sheets the phone rang again. Catherine didn't move, she knew it was Eddie again and she let the machine pick it up once more.

"Damn it Catherine pick up the fucking phone" Eddie screamed " I swear to you, if you try and take my daughter from me I'll slit you're fucking throat now pick up"

Catheirne picked up the phone and left it off the hook hoping Eddie would get the picture.She then closed her eyes and squeezed her pillow against her ears and the tears began to fall.

2:50 am

Catherine was awaken again once more this time by the ringing of her cell phone and the vibrating off of the dresser. Catherine hopped out of bed thinking it was Grissom or Brass for work.

"Willows"

"I see" Eddie snapped " You'll answer the phone if you think it's that bastard Grissom, sure you'll jump right out of bed for him. You slut, I should have know it was all about him..the break up, it was his idea wasn't it? So he could have you all to himself."

"Eddie it's late, I need to sleep , you have to stop calling me, you're drunk, go home eddie get sober, I won't talk to you when you're like this."

"NO" Eddie screamed " Don't fucking dare hang up on me or it.."

Catherine hung up, not waiting for him to threaten her life like he had done the night before this and the night before that.

Thunder crashed outside her window sending chills down her spine. She walekd towad her window to close the blinds and the lighten flashed and their was Eddie in the shadows, watching her.

Catherine jumped back, her heart began to race as she whipped the blinds down and ran to Lindsey's room to do the same.

She peered out of Lindsey's window before closing her blinds and Eddie was gone.

" Mom" Lindsey sat up looking around her room in confusion. " Mommy what's wrong"

Catherine sat on the side of her bed " Nothing baby, I was just closing the blinds so the lightning wouldn't bother you that's all."

"Did it wake you" the young girl asked looking up at her mother

"Yeah it did" Catherine lied " You go back to sleep now okay."

Lindsy nodded and kissed her mother on the cheek " I love you mommy, good night.. again" she smiled as Catherine pulled her blanket back up.

Catherine made her way out of Lindsey room when Lindsey called to her " Mommy"

"Yeah hun" Catherine turned back

"If you're scared you can sleep with me" Lindsey offered.

Catherine smiled making her way back toward her daughters bed " I think I will." Catherine replied lying down beside her.

"Mommy" Lindsey called again

"Shh" Catherine brushed her hair from her face " Go to sleep. ."
