Sara POV:
"That BITCH I can't believe her sometimes!" I say coming in my door mad as hell. The woman drives me crazy. It's because of her that I am on a one week suspension. All because of her… Catherine bloody Willows. If she had just got off her high horse and listened to me for one minute she would had seen things from my point of view.
I need to stop thinking about her; right now beer is a good way to forget about her and lot of it.
Catherine POV:
I hate to say it but Sara was right about the husband I hate it when she is right. Maybe I will go over to see Sara before I go away for a week say sorry for pushing her like I did, I was only trying to get her to tell me why domestic abuse cases get to her so much.
Sara POV:
Okay I have calmed down with the help of some beers of course.
And yes I guess I need to say sorry to Catherine for some of the thing I said to her but I don't think I can face her right now. Because Catherine will want to talk about it and I don't feel like talking about it right now so I think I will wait till I am back at work before I talk to Catherine.
And then it hit me I am not going to see her for a week well maybe more because I am going away in a week for my cousin Sophie wedding,
So I may as well go and spend some time with my Cousin Sophie and my Auntie Donna before the wedding.
It's good that I will get away from here and Catherine. I will miss not seeing her for a week because as much as she drives me crazy I can't help but being in love with her.
But this way I will not be sitting around thinking about her, I will be busy helping out my Aunt Donna.
I am sure Aunt Donna will need my help before the wedding. There is always something needing to be fixed at the hotel.
And I do need someone to talk to. I always talk with my Aunt Donna about everything she's the only one who knows about my feelings for Catherine.
So with my mind made up I picked up my phone to make some calls.
Catherine POV:
As I was leaving I decided to go over to Sara's to try and make thing better between us.
And also in hope she may open up to me that all I want to do is have her to talk me. I hate that she feels she can't talk to me. All I want is to be there for her and she will not let me and it hurts like hell because I am in love with her.
So I am leaving right now to go and talk to her but of course I run into Grissom. Not really wanting to talk to him I just say.
"Hi Grissom you are right about me and Sara. I am going to go over there now to try and work thing out with her you before I go away." I say hoping he will just let me be on my way so I can get the hell out of here.
"Catherine I am glad you want to make things better between you and Sara but I think at you may want to wait a little bit for Sara to have cooled down before you try and talk to her." I know Grissom is right about letting Sara cool off but I leave tomorrow and I would really like to talk to her.
"Grissom I am going away tomorrow for a week I would like to talk to Sara before I go. There are things I need to talk to her about and I don't think I can wait a week."
I say is because Grissom will know that I will not drop it until I talk to Sara and he knows he will not say anything that will change my mind.
"Catherine I understand that, I do. Look I was going to go over to Sara's right now anyway, so why don't I tell Sara while I am there you would like to talk with her and ask her to phone you before you leave tomorrow how does that sound?"
"That sounds okay I guess. I mean she knows I want to talk to her so when she feels like talking to me she'll know I am going to be there." I say still feeling a need to go over and talk to her but Grissom is right Sara needs time to cool down and I really don't want to get into another fight with her.
"So Catherine where are you and Lindsey going is year?" Grissom asks. He always likes to know where Lindsey and I go on holiday
"We are going to this little Greek island call Kalokairi. Lindsey say's that they have been learning about it in school and would love to go and see for herself and learn more about it, so how can I say no to that?"
"I guess you can't Catherine." Grissom say was a smile on his face, "well I guess I see you in a week then Catherine, have fun."
So I guess I will go home and get some sleep before I leave tomorrow "GRISSOM?" I call after him. He turned around to face me, "call me to let me know what Sara Say Please" I ask because I know I will not sleep till I know
"I will, now go home Catherine." and with that I got in my car and went home to try and get some sleep because I have a busy day ahead of me tomorrow and all I can do is hope Sara will call me before I go away tomorrow.
Sara POV
Okay I am leaving the day after tomorrow so I go into my bedroom to start packing. I know I have all day tomorrow to pack but I will have a lot to do before I leave so I may as well get is out the way.
I called Sky, that's who Sophie is getting married to, and I told him I was coming but not to say anything to Aunt Donna or Sophie. I want to surprise them so Sky is going to pick me up from the boat.
I met Sky for the first time a year ago that was also the last time I was on Kalokairi. Of course Sophie called me to tell me Sky was how her boyfriend, and I am happy for her and I also told Sky if he hurt her I would hurt him much more.
Sky and I talk over the phone that day and we have been good friend from that day on.
Two months after that, him and Sophie came to stay with me for a week and I showed them around. We had a lot of fun that week just the three of us.
God I can't wait to get back to Kalokairi to see everyone. I always feel like the real me when I am there like I don't have to hide from anyone I can just be myself.
I take my bags into the living room and go to get another beer before I sit down on my couch I am feeling better just by thinking about Kalokairi and how I will be back on the island with my family soon.
I love going back there but I always hate it want I have to leave it behind again
I know there is a big smile on my face right now just me thinking about Kalokairi always make me smile.
I know I am going to be dreaming that I am lying on the beach tonight, just then there is a knock on my door so I get up to see who it is, but I all ready know who it will be.
It will be Grissom or it will be Catherine and I really hope it will be Catherine I would love to see her before I go away, but at the same time I am hoping it's not her because I don't want to fight with her again.
I open my door to find Grissom there I move aside to let him in after I close the door I see he is looking at the beer in my hand "I would give you one but this is the last one sorry" I say not wanting him to start up about me drinking.
"I don't want one Sara but I would like to talk to you about what happened today with Catherine" of course he does, " I can see you have cooled off but I think the beer had something to do was it."
Who the hell does he think he is coming in here and talking to me like that? "Look Grissom I am not working right now I have a week off thanks to Catherine so I can drink if I feel like it." I say starting to get pissed off again, just when I was starting to feel better too.
"Sara I did not come here to upset you." Grissom started to say but I so did not want to hear this right now, "Then why did you come here Grissom?" I ask because all I want is to go to sleep so I can do what I have to do tomorrow and then get the hell out of here for the next week and a half " I came here to see if you are alright, and to see if you want to talk about it."
" Talk about what? Then is nothing to talk about." I say hope he will just leave right now.
"What happened between you and Catherine, or maybe you'd like to talk about the case?"
I know he is trying to be a friend but I just can't talk to him about it. I mean does the man have feelings? If I did talk to him about it would he know what to say or would to do if I start to cry no he would not and how can I talk to him about my feeling for Catherine his best friend as much as I would love to talk to someone about it all right is minute, it will not be Grissom and right now then is only one person who I want to talk to about all this and at is my Aunt Donna and no one else.
Well maybe Catherine because I feel like I own her that much after what I said to her, but she's not here right now and I wish it was her and not Grissom. So I guess I will have to wait and talk to Aunt Donna about all is.
"Thank you Grissom but there is only one person that I want to talk to right now and she is not here."
Grissom POV:
I am guessing she is talking about Catherine. I mean who else would she be talking about? She has no family that I know of. I mean I've known Sara for 15 years and she has never talked about her family.
I did ask her once before about her family many years ago when I first met her. But she did not say anything about her family. All she said was that she had just remembered she forgot she had something she need to do and she see me later before walking away.
I never asked her again after that just hoping one day she would let me in.
"So you would talk to Catherine about all this?" I ask hoping she'll say yes because I know Catherine wants to talk to Sara. I am hoping Sara would want to talk to Catherine as well and if this is the case then maybe I can put them on more cases together.
"WHAT? No I am not talking about Catherine. I am talking about my Aunt Donna why would you think I was talking about Catherine?"
Okay so Sara does have family. I'd like to know more about this Aunt Donna but now not really the time.
"Because Catherine was going to come around here to talk to you, but I stopped her. I told her to leave it till you both have had time to cool down. I am so sorry if I did something wrong I was just trying to look out of both you and Catherine."
I don't say sorry for the things I do but I really do feel that now I did do something wrong by not letting Catherine come here so they could talk it out.
I only now see the bag's is Sara going somewhere?
"Look Grissom, it's okay. I am not mad I think. Anyway you did the right thing as much as I think me and Catherine do need to talk things over I just don't thing tonight is a good idea."
I can't read what's in Sara eyes right now. I wish I could, it may help me right now.
"Where are you going Sara?" I need to ask her because I hope to God she will not do anything stupid like before. She has never told me but she doesn't have to, I have seen her wrists and you can tell just by looking at them she has tried to kill herself before.
"I am going to spend some time with my Aunt Donna and my Cousin Sophie before the wedding next week. I was going to go out to Kalokairi the day before my Cousin Sophie wedding and come back the day after the wedding but now I have the week off I am going to go up and spend some time with them before the wedding."
Wait did Sara just say she going to Kalokairi? That's where Catherine said she and Lindsey were going. Okay I need to tell Sara "Sara, Catherine is…" I start to say but Sara cut me off "Look Grissom I know what you are going to say, that I need to talk to Catherine before I leave but I can't face her just yet. I will talk to her when I get back or I will call her while I am away, but right now I think the best thing for me and Catherine is to stay away from each other. Just for now so we both can work out what we are going to do and then we can talk and try and work out where we both stand." Sara said to me and I guess in a way she is right but I like for them to work is all out so maybe if they spend some time together outside of the lab it may do them some good, so I don't think I will tell them.
"WOW Sara you have been doing some thinking." I say so glad she had told me all that but I do some now felt she is only telling me is so I will leave.
"I think it's time I go, I need to get some sleep." Sara walked me to the door to say our goodnights but then I remembered I told Catherine I would ask Sara to call her. "Sara look I know you said you would talk to Catherine when you got back. Maybe you could call her while you are away. I told Catherine I'd ask you to call her and I think maybe you need to call her if only just to say sorry." I say hoping if I do this they will not kick my ass when they get back if they found out I knew they would both be on the same island and did not tell them.
"I will think about it" Sara says. I want them to talk to each other before they get to Kalokairi not only for themselves but for the people who live on the island they don't need WW3 on their hands. That's what they will get if Catherine and Sara don't talk before they leave.
"Well if you do call her do it tomorrow before 12pm, Catherine and Lindsey go away around this time of year and if you don't call her before she leaves you will have to wait till you get back." I say hoping this will make Sara call Catherine.
"Well have fun Sara. I'll see you when you get back" I turn around and walk back to my car
As I walk back to my car all I am hoping is that when they get back thing will have changed between them before they get back to the lab.
Catherine POV:
When I get home all I can do is think of Sara and hope she'll call before I go away tomorrow, because I don't think I can go away before I talk to her. I think I'll take a shower before I have something to eat.
I am in the shower for about 20 minutes. Once I am done I walk into my bedroom go over to my phone hoping to see a missed call from Sara, but there is nothing. 20 minute later I am having something to eat my phone is of course right next to me.
I keep looking at it as if it is going to make Sara call me.
I want to call her so bad, but Grissom said he would call me to tell me what she said.
I look away from my phone and I go back to my food.
But no sooner as I put some food into my mouth my phone goes off.
"H E LL O SA R A" I say was food still in my mouth I am just glad Lindsey is not around to see me because I am always telling her not to talk with her mouth full.
"Hello Catherine, it's Grissom."
" What…Did…Sara…Say?" I ask still with a mouth full of food.
"She said she will think about calling you."
"Is that all she said?" I ask now with no food in my mouth.
"Yes! I did tell her if she is going to call you to do it before 12pm tomorrow." I remember I told him what time I was leaving after he came in to my office to ask for an update on the case me and Sara was working on. Of course this was before me and Sara got into the fight.
"Did she say anything else?" I ask hoping he has forgotten something.
"No I am sorry Catherine, I tried my best." of course he would not forget anything Sara says. I know he forgets some things but if it has anything to do with Sara, he never forget a thing.
"Yes I know you did Grissom and thank you!" God I don't know why but I feel like I am going to cry. Maybe I can just call her myself so she doesn't have to think about calling me. Yes, I will say goodnight to Grissom and then I will call Sara.
"Look Catherine if it makes you feel better Sara does want to talk to you two but just needs some time."
"Yep… that does make me feel better. Thank you and goodnight Grissom."
"Good night Catherine and have fun." and with at I put the phone down.
But I can't help but thinking what Sara needs time for so I think I will let her come to me. If she needs time I will give her time. If that's something she need, because I don't want to push her again.
So I will not call Sara, I will go to bed and get some sleep. I have to long day tomorrow, so I get up with my phone so if Sara does call I will not miss her and go to bed.
Sara POV:
I can't believe I forgot Catherine is going away as well tomorrow. I think maybe Grissom is right I need to Call Catherine if only to say sorry about the fight but I do feel the need to sleep right now talking with Grissom really make me feel sleepy.
I think it because I told him a lot more they I wanted to but once he asked 'where are you going Sara?' I saw the look in his eyes, the look that was questioning if I was going to try to kill myself again? I know Grissom has seen my wrists. He took one look that them and put two and two together and came up an answer. He thinks I tried to kill myself, but I have never tried to kill myself.
It was my mum who tried to kill me. She said she was the one who gave me life, and she can take it away if she wanted to. My dad had to come home because he had forgotten something, I was lucky he did because he stopped my mum from killing me that day. I was only 4 years old at the time but I remember all too well.
I wish Grissom would just ask me what happened and not keep thinking he knows the whole story just because he has seen my wrists. I can't tell him because I can't really talk about it but if someone asks me about it I will tell them, if I wanted them to know of course.
Not wanting to think about it or Grissom anymore, I turn my thought back to the Kalokairi in hope it will make me feel better again. A half an hour later I do feel better but not much and I don't know why? Because every time I think of Kalokairi it all way makes me feel better but not this time, I feel like I need to do something but don't know what it is so I try I think of what it could be.
10 minute later I am still trying to work out what the bloody hell it is I need to do.
But right now I don't care anymore I need to sleep because I have had too much to drink for one and I also really need to pee. So I get up from where I am sitting and walk to my bathroom after I having my pee I go to bed.
I lying there feeling myself falling to sleep and then it hit me I jump up in bed.
"Shit Catherine I need to phone Catherine" I say out loud as I go to pick up the phone I see what time it is and I know Catherine will be asleep right now. So I lie back down on my bed "I will have to call her tomorrow before she leaves." I say out loud again before I turn over and fall asleep for the night.
